McCain Gets History Of The Surge Wrong, CBS Doesn’t Air Footage

It’s certainly possible to see why accountability for crimes and constitutional violations by the current regime is not an issue Obama or members of Congress would run on, when people are far more pressed in their daily lives by foreclosures, debt, health care cost and inadequacy, job loss, inflation in food and fuel prices, etc. But it’s a huge and unjustifiable leap from there to defeatist, disrespecting “sheeple” crap.

I haven’t disrespected anyone. I have accurately reported the pandemic of ignorance and indifference. I really appreciate your alerting me to foreclosures, debt, and health care costs since I’ve been practicing medicine for a good while. Gee are their problems with the economics of health care, Neil? I commented at length previously on the Congress and Senate’s collosal indifference to medical care for the elderly when the Republicans narrowly missed cutting medicare 10.2% last week.

Is there really job loss, inflation in food and fuel prices in a world where Phil Graham has said people are just “whining” and in fact McCain hasn’t divorced himself from Graham one scintilla and wants to make Graham his Secretary of the Treasury or Chief of Staff.

Wow, I need to start reading something and find out what’s going on. What I said is literally true in these United States and I get evidence of it several times a day.

Issues debated here are essential and the vast majority of Americans are completely oblivous to them. Your House and your Senate, your judiciary and your Executive branch drive their engines according to that ignorance and they exploit it.

I said Americacans are ignorant and lazy and they’re getting the democracy they deserve. I’ve said few of them know anything aobut FISA or have a clue on those issues and they are getting the spineless Congress and lack of democracy they deserve due to their ignorance and indifference.

I said and I stand firmly behind this statement:

They don’t know Josh Bolten from a bolt of lightening, FISA from a file, and many of them believe the bullshit that offshore drilling would have a scintilla to do with gas prices even if it produced a drop of oil within 20-15 years and are oblivious to the fact that we could not even take delivery of boats to drill for years (it would increase consumption of exported fuel however.

99% of the people on the street in the U.S. could not tell you what “DOJ” is or begin to discuss any of the issues aired here and they wouldn’t know OLC from a salami on rye. That’s the reality.

I have tested this day after day and it is absolutely true.

If we are speaking about what is likely, rather than what is lawful or not, I hope you are wrong, but suspect you are entirely right.

And before that, when you could still get CBC with a big dish, it was even better.{Sigh}

It’s incredibly frustrating to me that in the land of the free and supposed free market, someone with a TV satellite dish cannot get access to al Jazeera English, to CBC, or a host of other offerings, at any price.

– the scale of activism already demonstrated
– the fact that for every person who takes action there are at least ten who care/understand/agree but don’t act

I think conspiracy is a potential vehicle to bring a little more back into charging range, I am not sure it is really viable to think we will get the US government accepted as a corrupt organization. Love the idea; can’t see it working (and they do damn well meet the criteria in spades). I still don’t think that, irrespective of how they could be formulated, criminal charges against the real culprits ever will be filed.

Which Rep. asked that? I’m on dialup only, can’t check out the hearing vid.
