Deception for Fun and Profit



If you don’t get pissed off when you are repeatedly deceived and lied to…. Here’s a few who are!

ACLU director says he’s ‘disgusted’ with Obama policies


Romero told the crowd at America's Future Now that he was "disgusted with this president," according to blogger Marcy Wheeler of Firedoglake, who was in attendance. "I'm going to start provocatively...I'm disgusted with this president," Romero said. Politico's Josh Gerstein interviewed Romero following the speech and confirmed the quote. The ACLU chief emphasized he didn't intend it as a personal attack. "I'm not disgusted at President Obama personally," Romero remarked. "It's President Obama's policies on civil liberties and national security issues I'm disgusted by. It's not a personal attack."

Why we need to dump incumbents and build our own base

The recent partisan fuss was a charade orchestrated to enrich corporations and defuse the push for Single Payer Health Care.

Independent Voters Resource Page:
OK, here is what Harry Reid said, in defense of the fact that NO vote on any kind of public option was being allowed in the reconciliation bill for health care reform:

"I will work to ensure that we are able to vote on the public option in the coming months."

And when exactly would that be, Harry, AFTER the Senate goes back to requiring 60 votes to pass anything? Let us be clear, 51 senators WERE on the record that they supported a public option, even if it were only as weak as the one passed by the House. All they had to do was take a vote on it NOW, and it would have been the law of the land.

How stupid do they think we are?
