How much to buy you Mr. Watt?

#136070
I'll chip in too! If we make a pool and have every unemployed American donate just ten cents, I'll bet that it will add up to more than the sum that Mr Watt is selling his country for.

These jackasses at congress are barely millionaires. All them put together wouldn't make a good goldman bonus.

Remember what happened in the past when Wall St. didn't get it's way quickly (or had it's interests seriously threatened)? That's partly the lense that I view last fall's meltdown through. Could it be time to look out below?

It is enough that the people know there was an election. The people who cast the votes decide nothing. The people who count the votes decide everything.... Josef Stalin
Ron Paul would seem not to grasp the above principle. At 70 + years of age, he really ought to start to try.

#136089
Certainly you realize that it's all in how you cast your vote. I'm sure Stalin realized that too.

Well, one thing's clear, that if Stalin had ever invited a fool like Paul to one of his evening dinners at the Kremlin together with selected members of the Politboro, initially he would have given him free reign to express himself in the dinner conversation. He might even have showcased Paul while doing so. Deceived into the impression that his viewpoint was being tolerated, Paul would have been lured into a false sence of security. Only then would Stalin have moved against him, arresting and interrogating him and eventually seeing to his trial and execution. Something similar awaits Paul's legislation, already gutted into meaninglessness at this point. As to Paul himself, he is entertainment to the ruling clique.

And whoever planted the warfarin in Stalin's evening meal was voting, too. And in that moment undid 30 years of opinion making and propaganda in one fatal stroke. Pun intended.

And a most awful pun it is, comrade cougar-w. :-)
The drug story is, at best, apocryphal. There we're claimants to be sure, Beria, I believe, but these would now seem to be 99.9% puff. And Beria was shot, of course.

Thank you Barney Frank for making me realize that this is a totally partisan issue. Jesus, can that idiot complete one sentence without uttering "Repubwican" or "Democwat"?

It's called "identity politics" and works at the macro level, thusly:
There is no "us" there is only "we" and we know who we are. And the rest of you suck.

what are the odds we'll get a vote at 4pm? just curious if this is a mere formality, or if there's more politics in store.
Also what was the procedural answer, I missed it - which thing is being voted on first?

I just finished listening to the 1994 tape version of The Creature from Jekyll Island. Its amazing how prophetic it is . It explains everything going on today in the financial system to a T. I encourage everyone to listen to this or buy the book . Its basically the bible for the plutocracy, you know, its god’s work outline.
When you have an hour to sit in a quiet place put it on and listen will full attention. I wish I had remembered it last summer . I would have seen that I forgot the blueprint but they didnt, all a part of their cyclical plan.
