Corrupt Establishment GOP is Crony Capitalism's Bought and Paid for Political Arm

[Cujo0920]

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....

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.

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.

Like this IDIOT ? All we asked for was R's to shut the fuk up about homosexuals, gay marriage, and abortion. Focus on ECONOMY, ECONOMY, ECONOMY.. 24 hrs later it's all about the same shit.

I asked Ryan Call to stop sending me emails... They're too busy fighting among themselves to convince me that the CO GOP needs my donations. Not saying I won't work to vote out the incumbent D's, but holy crap, they throw more mud at other R's than they do at the D opposition.

Amen. Economy and LIBERTY. Let each state sort out the rest for themselves.

Meanwhile, crony capitalism has the .01% covered even in the extremely unlikely event they experience actual consequences for their egregious fraud and swindles. Unsurprising that he's getting cushy treatment, considering his roster of DNC political whores [and RINO Bill Frist (R-Tennessee)].

"The pitchforks are coming for the plutocrats" - though I would make a distinction between self-made billionaires and crony capitalists, i.e. the Wall Street grifters.

Meanwhile, the rigged casino markets keep churning higher...until they don't.

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.

But the GOP leadership has fought against sleaze and corruption tooth and nail. No, wait. They were active participants and enablers.

George Carlin in the best three-minute performance of his career: "It's a big club and you (Great Kazoo and pals) ain't in it."
