The Politicians who are Supposedly Progressive Disappear into Puffs of Smoke

Basically, every single Obama voter was thrown overboard into the churning sea, as the deck chairs on the Titanic were rearranged and lifeboats were readied, in order for the crazed Democrats, in desperate need of a passed bill regardless of how lame it is, to ram their garbage through by, um, three votes. Laugh out loud (but it's not really funny) how during this ramming through, the Kucinich plans, the Weiner plans, all the other progressive plans and proposals all disappeared in puffs of smoke, while a nasty anti-abortion amendment ended up very alive and very real. Why, it’s as if Kucinich and Weiner themselves disappeared into puffs of smoke.

And Conyers was never there in the first place, laugh out loud.

There is an important lesson here. Very simply, if you are smart enough to read Common Dreams, you should be smart enough to NEVER again (assuming you ever have) vote for a Democrat or a Republican. Obviously, both of those parties are right wing parties. All non-right wing parties need to unify into a marketable party with a name that has not and can not be severely harmed by propaganda, such as New Democratic Party-US.

Don't look at me, I have a long track record of having little knowledge or capability of politically organizing. I'm a fish out of water there. I'm just trying to tell you that any political party without the right branding and marketing is never going to break into the Democrats-Republicans monopoly. Forget Greens, Independent, Socialist, forget all of those limited and/or damaged brands. The branding has to be just right and the marketing has to be just right to capture that guy in Peoria who needs a job.

Y'all have a good weekend and a good holiday next week.
