Export-Import bank shaping up as another battle between crony-capitalist RINOS (aligned with Obama, naturally) and genuine Republicans who are fed up with taxpayer subsidies of private banking interests.
Cujo, try writing one of your posts without all of the catch-phrases every other line.
Anyway, I was surprised to see Beuperez won the GOP nomination tonight. The news reported that the "Tea Party Activist Kopp lost." Seemed inappropriate.
He's C&P everything but actual Colorado politics.Quote:

Try to get some facts and learn some logical reasoning before you post more uniformed illogical diatribes.
You completely missed the point. At the apex of politics, distinctions like "Republican" and "Democrat" are mostly irrelevant. What is relevant is that the movers and shakers in both parties are on the make and on the take. They have the same big donors and reap the rewards of pimping out their votes (on legislation written almost exclusively by lobbyists for corporate or Wall Street interests). They have no true principles or convictions, just greed and ambition for power. Once Cantor leaves "public service" he, like the Clintons, Warner, and Bennet, will go to work for the same banking or corporate interests whose agendas he advanced while he was in office - only they can pay him more directly for services rendered while he was supposedly representing his constituents.Quote:

Really? I mean, WTF. Who's paying those fees? And what did they get in return? This is what crony capitalism looks like up close and personal. And we get the bill. Even the media (in the UK and Europe, not our corporate-owned propaganda outlets) are calling Hillary out on her BS:

I don't "blame" the GOP for Warner, Bennet, and the other corrupt Dems. I EXPECT sleaze and corruption from Dems - that's who they are and what they do. Expecting them to refrain from being pigmen would be like asking my dog not to lick his balls. I do blame voters, regardless of affiliation, who install or maintain in office politicians of either party who are for sale to the highest bidder, or who tolerate corruption in "our guy" because he's marginally less sleazy than "their guy."

Now that Eric Cantor is history, crushed by an unexpected Tea Party "David" (literally and metaphorically) as the US population finally begins to say no to an artifical "two-party" system which is quite united in only serving its Wall Street masters, it is time for that other republican, none other than the consummate folding lawn chair John Boehner, to scramble fearing for his own political career. And since the only way the GOP knows to challenge the implosion of the US republic is by making loud noises and providing hours of hollow theatrical entertainment, here comes Boehner with the biggest soap opera he could muster: moments ago the speaker announced he plans to sue Obama "on behalf of the House over his frequent use of executive actions that Republicans believe are beyond his authority."

If what you say is true, then there should be no deadlock in congress and anything can get passed without debate....Quote:

Nice use of selective editing, Ronin13. My full quote was: "At the apex of politics, distinctions like 'Republican' and 'Democrat' are mostly irrelevant." Sorry, I shouldn't use big words like "apex" that cause you to furrow your uni-brow.
Grassroots Republicans, who tend to be conservative, and establishment GOP "leaders" (who couldn't lead ants to a picnic) are two very different animals. As far as debate or deadlock in Congress, did that stop abominations like Obamacare or Wall Street bailouts or endless debt ceiling increases from being rammed up our collective asses? I'm guessing you're not a taxpayer - you seem to be a pretty airtight case for "at-risk adult" disability payments - but rhetoric aside, there's not much difference between the RINOS who dominate the top echelons of the establishment GOP, and their DNC opposite numbers.
Meanwhile, crony capitalist exemplar Hillary Clinton's books sales crater amidst disastrous reviews (despite her $14 million advance for services rendered). A waste of wood pulp, but she'll be laughing all the way to the bank. Slick Willie's repeal of Glass-Stegal set up a frenzy of Wall Street fraud that taxpayers will be saddled with for generations (and no doubt contributed to his rich "speech fees", but hey, the establishment GOP fought it tooth and nail).
No, wait....

Numbers. I don't see the division in the democrats that I do within the conservatives. They're busy uniting to undo the 200+ years of America we've come to love, meanwhile, there's so much infighting within the republican party that it's almost amazing how we still have enough R's in Washington to at least make for a bit of debate.Quote:

And Bill Clinton is making bank on his "speeches" - totally unrelated to his actions while in office that benefited the .01%, you can be sure.
http://www.zerohedge.com/news/2014-0...-speeches-2001
One of Clinton's biggest fans: Goldman Sachs has hired Bill Clinton for eight speeches over the years totaling $1.35 million, many of them client meetings in such locales as Paris, Phoenix, and the South Carolina beach resort of Kiawah Island. (Note: Goldman Sachs reaped billions from Clinton's repeal of Glass-Stegal, enacted after the 1929 market crash to prevent just the kind of speculative excesses and banker recklessness that caused the market to implode back then. Goldman collected billions more from the 2008 bailout pushed through by both Bush and Obama and their Treasury Secretaries, with the Fed ensuring trillions in toxic banker liabilities were transferred to the taxpayers [with Rep. Tancredo and Senators Bennet and Udall cravenly facilitating the ripoff]).
Goldman also has paid Hillary Clinton (out of pure generosity of spirit): She addressed tech entrepreneurs in Arizona last fall and women in finance in New York this year. (Note: I'm still not quite clear on the distinction between taking brides while in office [illegal] and collecting inflated "speaking fees" from audiences comprised mostly of members of the groups that made out like bandits thanks to your policies while engaged in "public service.")
“President Clinton’s always interesting, but there’s a lot more demand right now for her because she just came out of government and people want to hear about that, whether it’s Iran or Russia or the big challenges she’s faced, and about the dysfunction in Washington,” said a Goldman executive who spoke on the condition of anonymity to discuss internal thinking. (Translation: Billary scratched our back, now we're returning the favor - the essence of crony capitalism.)
Brain-dead Millennials may have voted in droves for Obama, but at least some students are pushing back on Hillary's outrageous speaking fees.

Oh, and you're not your fucking khakis.
Rand Paul slams "corporate welfare" and fat cat donors, while his biggest donor is a hedge fund manager. Got hypocrisy?
http://www.bloomberg.com/news/2014-0...op-donors.html
Senator Rand Paul has preached the political peril of being too close to financiers as he gears up for a likely 2016 presidential bid.
“We cannot be the party of fat cats, rich people, and Wall Street,” the Kentucky Republican told the audience at the Freedom Summit in New Hampshire in April. “Corporate welfare should once and for all be ended.”
At the same time, the founders and employees of Mason Capital Management, a $13.6 billion New York hedge fund, have become leading contributors to Paul’s political aims. The hedge fund has offices in London and San Francisco and offers clients offshore investments through a limited partnership in the Cayman Islands, among other strategies.
Jefferson's warning to "beware the monied interests" falls on deaf ears in today's Washington D.C. The plutocrats don't run things from behind the scenes: they ARE the scene.

The way your posts are structured, I feel like its a bad movie news network.
"Headlines filled with buzzwords that actually have nothing to do with the article. Tune in at 10 to find out more!"
My $.02: I have yet to see someone refute, with a coherent argument; the opines & articles that Cujo has posted.
Anyway, please raise your hand if you believe our current government isnot corrupt!
all .gov is corrupt. Instead of C&P others peoples shit perhaps him adding something productive may help. Browse the rest of L&P, hell browse the rest of the forum. See anything productive from him? See any discussion of CO .gov. Who fukin cares about cantor? I don'tQuote:

I am sorry; but I'm lost on this comment. I am as vulnerable as the next guy to whiskey, but what?
"See any discussion of CO .gov. Who fukin cares about cantor?"
You and I disagree on that one Great One; I don't see it that way. I believe we should pay attention to these/those events. There are simply too many yahoos that wish to impose their will upon other States.
My $.02.
A guy named <MADDOG> comes to Cujo's defense?

You know I see this sort of dribble posted on just about all the sites.
Like Kazoo said-C&P. I get a visual picture of some paranoid guy panic posting from some safe room in the basement.[panic]
And that's all they do is scream doom and tell the whole web about it. And that's all they do ,no other input.
Yes ,yes I get it, the .gov is corrupt and all that- we all know the problems were facing.
But how about a solution? How about posting and discussing a honest tangible solution? Without ringing the bells of doom.
For every problem there is a solution- there's no solution in beating the same horse.....[beatdeadhorse]
Just my .02[2cents]
As usual, Great Kazoo, you miss the point. This is not a "government is corrupt" rant. It is a call to fellow Republicans to root out sleaze and corruption in our party, which is the last bulwark protecting the interests of the middle and working classes. Far too many establishment GOP leaders are beholden to Wall Street or corporate interests with consequences that should be clear to anyone with their eyes open.
The movers and shakers in BOTH parties are too susceptible to influence-peddling from beltway lobbyists and usually make lucrative careers with their former patrons once they are no longer in politics. So how well are they representing their constituents? Eric Cantor is the poster boy of a GOP candidate who got elected by appealing to the conservative GOP base, but once in office showed his true colors and was for sale to the highest bidder. VA primary voters did their civic duty by dumping him in favor of a conservative upstart who seems to have actual principles.
The basic bottom line: crony capitalism is screwing over anyone not in the .01%.
This is my last post on the subject. Have a pleasant day. Mods, please lock or delete the thread.
Well, since us backwoods, hillbilly, inbred intellectual midgets can't seem to appreciate the incredible complexity of your near god-like grasp of the complexities of corruption in modern politics in the US, maybe your talents and self-realized, hyper-inflated ego would be appreciated on another forum. Because, obviously, you know, we don't get it and we aren't worthy.
Thank you, you do the same...Quote:

There's a lot I don't like about the Establishment GOP but there's a lot I don't like about certain Tea Party or Libertarian-minded GOP or Libertarians. Hell, I don't even agree with myself 100% of the time.Quote:

I just skimmed through this amusing and frustrating thread. Cujo, I think I might agree with some of the things you are trying to say (Politicians are corrupt... no surprise there!) but honestly, it's hard to understand what you are even trying to say. What is the message you are trying to get across? Sum it up in 4 sentences or less. This thread turned into you posting a bunch of random sources pointing to corruption, but your abuses of catch-phrases, buzzwords, and Alex Jones-ish rhetoric combined with your incomprehensible rambling and "talking down" really turns a lot of people off. Did you just need a political soap box to stand on for a bit? If so, then good. I hope you fulfilled that emotional need. Most of us would like to have productive political discussions, but your superiority attitude is a major roadblock to good discussion or debate. Sorry if this thread frustrated you. You might have some good things to say, but you gotta approach it better. It might help if you didn't just complain without offering actionable solutions.
Exactly...it's not necessarily the message, it's the delivery.
