has driven me to block some people on Twitter who I generally like, but I can't and won't put up with again the kind of verbal abuse that went on over at DailyKos over Obama and that I suspect are being featured at DK the days. I'm already seeing that kind of behavior on Twitter from some participants and I'm grateful to be able to block people of that mindset. I've already seen on Twitter the kind of crap we saw in 2010 regarding SCOTUS and the "threat" that the country will blow up if a Dem isn't elected POTUS in 2016. My attitude these days is: if Democrats want my vote, they can provide me with MULTIPLE reasons for WHY I should vote for them, and if they can't/won't do that, then I'll vote third party/write-ins before I'll just hand them my vote. But fear-mongering like I've seen in the past is making me run from that kind of paternalistic authoritarian crap.

The blatant lies from Barack Obama (his interview with Chris Matthews was gag-worthy), Hillary Clinton ("See, I can be anybody you want!"), and various and sundry other Democrat shills is making me despise most Democrats. I reserve praise for a few (like Mark Pocan, my House Rep.), and Elizabeth Warren. Obama's snide, smirking comment re: Liz during the Matthews interview made me want to slap Obama across the face. She has more integrity in her little finger than he will ever possess.

You truly nailed it Praenomen with this:

Neo-liberalism is the equivalent of a malevolent virus that infects its host and quietly spreads like cancer. It goes to great lengths to hide its agenda; it adapts its message to reflect the values of its host, and then enacts an agenda that is so thoroughly greedy and corrupt it could never exist in the public square if it was exposed to daylight. - See more at: http://www.caucus99percent.com/comment/reply/508#comment-form

say this whole damn country is based on lies. More and more people have come or are coming to that
conclusion, including me. It's hard to believe the support for Clinton, and Bush for that matter, but that's the
way it is. People voted for Saddam Hussein, Adolf Hitler and Petro Poroshenko (Ukraine). Especially after Obama
who as you pointed out has been a supreme liar of the highest order. He's a shoe-in for the All Time Human Liar
Hall of Fame. Yet now we have people judging Clinton based on what SHE SAYS OR WHAT SHE WILL SAY. That's the
unbelievable part. These are people that simply accept the gruel put in front of them.

The democrats are somewhat worried about the attacks from the right and the republican party on Clinton. They might
want to worry about the attacks from the left, and it's not the extreme left I'm talking about. I have a hard time
believing the voter turnout in 2016 will surpass fifty percent. It's all a fraud.

>Or have you given up posting there? I'd love to see it posted there just to see the shit storm it would bring. You are correct that OBAMA hasn't done a damned thing for the middle class and especially the poor. And income inequality is staggering under his administration. He either put the same people in power or left Bush hold overs in place. that gave him great cover for not getting anything accomplished. But people still blame the GOP n Bush had how many signing statements refusing what he didn't like in a bill Yet OBAMA has done less then 10, if even that many. Both parties are on board with gutting SNAP benefits, yet the rich farm owners get even more subsidies. The TPP is a treasonous trade act, yet there are many people over at Kos defending this piece of shit Any comment against it, you're labl an Obama hater or racist. It's the same group of people that always defend everything he does. Please post it there. I would enjoy the shit storm.

that Jan Schakowsky would pretend that FSC is a "champion" (her words) for 'the Little Guy.'

Regarding posting this diary to DKos, like others, here, I'd love to see it.

OTOH, I know that I personally weigh the consequences of saying exactly what I want to say (at DKOs)--the way I want to say it--with wanting to remain in good status over there, so that I can be in the position to counter flagrant Dem Party propaganda/policy misstatements, etc., when I see them.

So, whatever you decide, I'll support. (Of course, I've never been known to be a fan of contentious situations--some might say I'm rather cowardly. And I do greatly admire those with the intestinal fortitude to take on adversity. So it may be best to disregard everything that I just said.)

Whatever you decide, thanks for all you do!

About 1904, Guy Miller, President of the Telluride Miners' Union of the Western Federation of Miners:

"The end justifies the means," nay, more, it determines the means. When the rights of the many are to be subserved in the interest of a few, a combination of force and fraud is necessary. The combination has been effected and used, whether successful or not, and if so, how long, belongs to the future.

to respond the condescending bullsh*t that vomited through the smirking visage of BHO, and if you heard a whimpering moan coming out of the White House, it was Hisself, doubling over from a good swift verbal kick to the gonads delivered by one Ms. Warren. I, for one, just for the entertainment value, love to see the two of them together debate the TPP. She has one very big advantage over most pols: She's been in academia for much of her life and knows how to argue her points, getting them across succinctly and yet still with the necessary facts to refute her opponent.
