Boner sez American People have spoken;I say it was the Corporate Billion$
in a winning propaganda war.

When the economy was in dire straights they listened to the Propaganda
in the Weimar Republic.

Here and now we see the results of the two recent Bush appointed crypto
Fascists of SCOTUS unleashing the corporate Billion$ for propaganda;
crypto Fascists who under oath said they would observe precedent (like corporations
are not people) and who violated the Judicial Code of Conduct by virtue of their
involvement w/ the Federalist Society, all in my very humble opinion.

AND IF Boner's bunch really want to listen to what the American people are saying,
how come polls show the people want health insurance reform & that's the first thing
they want to take apart?

Could it be the Boner Bunch really represent the corporate money super millionaires
who are paying less taxes than in the last 50 years or so, & don't want to pay their
share at all? Instead they want to line their pockets at the expense of our health care,
our jobs, our living wage, our homes & home values, our savings values, our kids college
education, & soon our social security and medicare? And if these are not an increase in
the tax on our backs I don't know what is.

And if you think more tax cuts for the super millionaires are going to create jobs,
were watching what they did during the Bush years? THEY BLEW BUBBLES into the debt
market, the housing market and the stock market while they lined their pockets.

The people of the US would be better served by finding not common ground, but the
higher ground in countering their Propaganda with a few punchy simple phrases.

They say we tax and spend. We say they pocket the proceeds of whatever they can
get out of us, the profits and terminated costs at the expense of the American people.

They say we don't want big government running things.
What we don't want is big corporate running us into the ground.
These corporate money super millionaires don't have to worry
about losing their homes, jobs or health care; they can afford it
all out of what they grabbed at our expense.

We need an effective counter propaganda program, short, sweet and stirring!
... more effective than the propaganda they have been building since Reagan,
and burying us.

1. The people have spoken; it's just that some people's speech is worth more than others.
One dollar, one vote.

2. Well, corporations are people now.
If that's true, seems like they should be limited to $2400 per candidate, just like you and me.

5. I'll keep repeating this until I'm blue in the face: Fox News won the election.
It wasn't the people. It was the people that own the media. Assholes like Limpballs and Hannity can spout off all they want to about the non-existent liberal media. The fact is whoever owns the media gets to control public discourse. And who owns the media? Consevative billionaires like the Koch Brothers and Rupert Murdoch. The number one news network in the country? Fox News. You do the math.

And they've already got people repeating their "It was the Liberals" that lost.

That Obama "needs to go", that the "Tea party is powerful" that Pelosi is the cause of all the problems.

Big money convinced people that they shouldn't get involved, or vote. It is going to take a Really Big grassroots effort to beat the corporate media who is as happy as can be today.
