What Do They Have to Do to Lose Your Vote?

The Trail of Broken Promises

By MATT GONZALEZ

Watching the Democrats in the final weeks of the presidential election has been a lesson in revisionist history. While they lament the terrible crimes perpetrated against the American people by George Bush and vow to keep fighting for our rights, they conveniently gloss over the fact that they have no standing to make such claims. Indeed, the Democrats, including Senator Barack Obama, have actually voted with President Bush’s agenda, making them complicit in his acts, not valiant opponents defending our liberties.

PELOSI’S PROMISE TO END THE WAR

Democratic Congresswoman Nancy Pelosi said that if she became the speaker of the House of Representatives she would end the war in Iraq. Remember that? The Boston Globe noted, "Pelosi vows no ‘blank check’ on Iraq funds.” (1/8/07). In her own words: "If the president wants to add to this mission, he is going to have to justify it. And this is new to him, because up until now the Republican Congress has given him a blank check with no oversight, no standards, no conditions.” Rick Klein of the Globe noted "Pelosi’s comments mark the first suggestion by a Democratic congressional leader that Congress could use its authority over the nation’s finances to hasten an end to the war. Her remarks point toward an aggressive stance on Iraq from Congressional Democrats in their opening days of control of the House and Senate.”

Yet after she became the speaker of the House in Jan 2007, war appropriations actually went up by $50 billion, with no strings attached and no date for the withdrawal of troops. This year, 2008, they’ve gone up by another $25 billion for a two-year total of $350 billion, with no end in sight. So what happened to the promise of "no blank check?”

REID’S FILIBUSTER RULE

Sen. Harry Reid, the leader of the Democrats in the Senate, has complained that the Republicans have filibustered (a procedure used by the minority party to delay voting on legislation) more times in the last two years than in the entire history of the United States to explain why he can’t move forward a progressive agenda. First he said it was over 70 times, then adjusted it by saying it was 65 times (Las Vegas Sun 3/6/08); yet still the highest for any two-year period (the previous record was 57 filibusters) (Politico, 3/6/08; Gov.Track.us 4/15/08). But Sen. Reid’s frustration has proven to be a red-herring. Did you know that Reid lets the Republicans filibuster telephonically, meaning that he doesn’t require that they physically present themselves on the floor of the Senate? Why is he making it easy on them? Is this what an opposition party looks like?

REPUBLICAN CLASS ACTION REFORM

Sen. Barack Obama, the Democratic Party nominee for president, has a long history of voting against the interest of the American people, and specifically, the working class. Before entering the presidential contest, he supported the Republican Class Action Reform Bill, which made it harder for class-action lawsuits to be brought in the state courts. State courts are exactly where consumer protection lawsuits and recent wage and hour claims have succeeded in improving the lives of workers and helped them obtain better wages and breaks during work hours have succeeded.

Progressive commentators at the time called it a thinly veiled special-interest extravaganza. Journalist David Sirota noted "Opposed by most major civil rights and consumer watchdog groups, this Big Business-backed legislation was sold to the public as a way to stop ‘frivolous’ lawsuits. But everyone in Washington knew the bill’s real objective was to protect corporate abusers.” (The Nation, 6/26/06). So why did Obama vote for it?The Trail of Broken Promises By MATT GONZALEZ Watching the Democrats in the final weeks of the presidential election has... more

EnviroNutZ- Nader Wins

Consumer advocate Ralph Nader after a sweeping upset has won the Presidency! Nader a long time consumer advocate and best known for his criticism of corporate power has against all odds and without a fair debate with the two major party candidates, embraced the will of the people, and will now serve as what he quotes as “Citizen as Chief”
A befuddled Barack Obama when asked “What Happened?” responded” Well,… I think in the end the peoples saw right through me…I guess I underestimated him?
Senator McCain when asked about the Nader Victory resonded.” Why he’s a terrorist! I can’t believe it? Did you Know he’s Lebonese? We’ve sold our souls to al Queda….Gov Palin Chimed in with an “Yah he, like he’s an “Elite Terrorist” he’s from Connecticut is he not?” ”he’s not married he’s probably GAY!” OH Now the whole country will turn Gay” ”Glad I’m up in Alaska” ‘wink’**
Nader promises and immediate withdraw of troops from Iraq and Afghanistan followed by enormous aid to the region and international round table to discuss restoring the region. A plan to cut the wasteful military budget will then disentangle the Military industrial Complex from its politically engineered and perpetual congressional approval. Instead he plans to use the money for schools and his health plan. In his first 100 Days he will deliver Single payer Health Care, with private doctors and choice.
He plans to Bring jobs back home to the USA by invigorating green technologies and rebuilding America’s infrastructure. By instituting a Carbon Pollution tax, these new technologies may take root with subsidies to the industry and ween our dependence on foreign oil.
Nader vows to continue his plan to run the crooks out of Washington and the Wall Street Banksters with an aggressive crackdown on corporate crime. Including the High Crimes and Misdemeanors of the Bush administration adn bring immediate charges of impeachment to the “arrogant dynasty of King George the 4th”
By leveraging a Wall street Speculation tax of just 1/10th of 1% Nader spells out how the 700 Billion Bailout plan could have been avoided, and vows to hold deliberations in congress as to how to proceed.
Nader’s VP Matt Gonzalez will be heading up plans to reform Ballot access obstructionism and end the two party dominated corporate Duopoly. They promise to end the corporate controlled debates that Nader himself has battled for over 16 years. “No more debates brought to you by Anheuser Busch or Conventions by AT&T, its time to get the corporate paymasters out of POLITICS!”
Nader/Gonzalez will create a New Cabinet position for the Department of Peace. Cabinet Secretary Michael Franti of San Francisco has been tapped for the position as “Minister of Peace” for his insightful motto of “you can Bomb the World to Pieces but you can’t Bomb it into Peace”
Finally, Nader Gonzalez will defy corporate personhood and vow to forge forward a new government “By the People and For The People”
When asked what the first thing he was going to do as president Nader responded” I’m gonna put the Solar panels back on the White House that Carter had put on and Reagan took off…… then I’m probably gonna roll up my sleeves and get to work!”
