Nader on the bailout. (12min)

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=y6duaeQLkYA

Where were our representatives, again… we had a handful who voted in the interests of the American People, the rest, I wonder… who signs their paycheck?  I truly do not believe they have ever qualitatively EVEN ENTERTAINED THE THOUGHT of the word shameful as it is defined in any standard dictionary.

They give new meaning to the phrase “for a few pieces of silver”.

This goes out to ALL those representatives in the senate and house who voted YEA to the bailout. (You’d think the richest country in the world could afford a flippin dictionary for their representatives)

what we the people NEED TO KNOW!

Where are ALL the candidates -and WHY CAN"T WE HEAR FROM THE GREENS, NADER-any on any ballot any where-

we the people are SUPPOSE TO BE THE GOVT.

we the people are getting screwed by GREEDY POLITICIANS who take US where we should NOT go

Where are media with the balls/thatchers to demand ANSWERS to what will the do about Gaza, Jerusalem, the rights of refugees, The Wall, the continuing settlements, the now over 600 checkpoints that deny the indigenous people of that land the right to access their land, jobs and holy sites in light of this year;

The 60th anniversary of Israel, Nakba/The Catastrophe and the UN Universal Declaration of Human Rights- upon which Israel’s VERY statehood was contingent upon upholding.

You folks missed a rare chance at easily deflating a Blankley claim (although I’m a progressive, I think Tony does an honest and credible job at defending conservatives). In the last show (or show before last) he berated Obama and defended McCain over their release of medical records without mentioning the reporters were only given THREE HOURS to read FOURTEEN HUNDRED PAGES of material, without even a cell phone to call an actual medical expert to figure out whether something was relevant or not. This attempt to hide medical information by McCain should continue to be pressed, not ignored. And letting Tony berate Obama and praise McCain on this issue is really sad. Maybe when McCain did it, not knowing who is VP pick would be, was tolerable. But with Palin the VP, this subterfuge in the guise of openness is CLEARLY not tolerable.

A wink is a flirtatious.  Botox is narcissistic.  Palin is trying to win hearts of Americans like she is Shirley Temple.  Give me a straight faced serious politician, albeit though filled with Botox any day.
