How many Senators are we going to kick out of office this year?

Its an election year.  1/3rd are up for re-election.  If we send all 33 home, I’m willing to bet the rest will see that political wind blowing and be a lot more helpful to the people.

Two ways to do it.  Run a primary challenge to kick a pro-corporate, pro-war Senator out of the nomination.  Just be aware that when this happens, the usual result is what happened in CT in 2006 when Republicans and Democrats united to defeat the upstart primary winner in the general election.

The other way to kick out an incumbent Senator is to run an independent campaign in the general election that takes votes away from them and causes their defeat.

So, how many Senators are we going to send home this year?

Its very easy to know who NOT to vote for in an election.

Some candidates will be on TV a lot.  They have the money to buy lots of ads.  This money is of course big corporate dollars, and the candidate had to sell out to get it.  The same candidates have the support of the corporations that own the TV stations and networks, thus they are on TV even more with favorable puff pieces about them.

Other candidates will never be on TV.  They don’t have the money for ads.  The corporate owners of the stations and networks hate them, and either won’t show them or just constantly ridicule them.

The candidates you see on TV will support the corporations that paid for their campaigns once elected, thus you should never vote for them.

The candidates that are never on TV and are so broke they need to ask their supporters for a ride in from the airport are the ones who will represent your interests, and thus the ones you need to vote for.

Its an easy rule to remember and follow.  NEVER VOTE FOR THE CANDIDATES YOU SEE ON TV.

Scheer is right, it’s JOBS–JOBS–JOBS. U.S. Senate needs to wake up!

“So, what does it take to translate an incipient recovery into a sustained expansion? In a word: jobs. Employment leads to income and to spending. As sales deplete inventories, businesses restock, which creates more jobs and so on in an upward spiral.

Unfortunately, with the economy already some 10 million jobs short, there is no job growth on the horizon robust enough to set that upward spiral in motion. And because the economy is already in such a deep hole, a second leg down would mean ever worsening hardship.

The House has already passed a bill that is a good starting point for creating jobs. But the Senate is sitting on its version, with Republicans and a handful of Democrats arguing that deficit reduction is more important than jobs. In the medium term, the deficit is a serious problem. But right now there is no way to
sustain a recovery unless millions of jobs are created soon — and the private sector alone cannot do that.”

I agree regarding Cantwell/McCain bill.

I also am in agreement with Cantwell’s recent vote to NOT confirm Bernanke.  However, 70 votes YEA for Bernanke is thee unreported story.

Only 30 NAYS.

No one can tell me that the Senate gives a hoot about me or you.

IMPEACH the Supreme Court Justices that just wiped out our Democracy. 

Here is a video on Cantwells NAY vote on Bernanke.

And here is a video with Cantwell and McCain on their bill.

I agree with Robert Scheer about the MCCain-Cantwell bill.  Everyone should be
scrambling to get this bill passed:

“In December, Senator John McCain, Republican of Arizona, and Senator Maria Cantwell, Democrat of Washington, jointly introduced a bill that would bring back Glass-Steagall and force commercial banks to split off their lucrative, but risky, investment banking operations from their government-insured depository banking business. The bill was gaining traction in the Senate, racking up several co-sponsors. Still, it had yet to be attached to the larger financial regulatory bill set to be debated in the coming months.”

I did not hear Robert Scheer being an apologist.  I wish his view was being more widely reported on.  The fellow beating the drum for Massachusettes styled health care…now he’s sounding right winged.

Yes, we have a right wing party and an ultra right wing party.

What people need, is an actual list of who not to vote for ever again in Washington.  We need to base our votes solely on how the “incumbants” voted.  And if they didn’t vote for what we wanted, Fire ‘em.  Not enough people read the Thomas Register or congressional/Senatorial Record.  Tired of War and no healthcare?  Do not keep voting for any politician, regardless their label, who keeps voting to fund the war and who votes to mandate health insurance.

The healthcare bill IS a Republican bill.  The Dems get to act like its theirs and vote for it, and the Repubs get to pretend that they hate it for all the wrong reasons….and Voila…the American gets screwed out of a legitimate health"care” system.  How handy is it that the opposition to this Republican bill is so small?

There is only one party in Washington. 

Agreed.  But will Europe have us?

OH…and that’s right….where is any article on how to get rid of the supreme court justices?  Cause as soon as we start voting out the corruption…we’ll be overruled by even more corruption.

This is not going to end pretty.
