- Congress, candidates call credit card companies on the carpet
  Posted by VincebusEruptum from Scholarsandrogues
  Just in time for the holiday season, the 110th Congress has renewed its push for credit card companies and lenders to clean up their act. Michigan Democrat Carl Levin, who sits on the Senate’s Homeland Security and Gov’t Affairs Committee, is chairing a hearing today on unfair credit card interest rate hikes, featuring three financial industry bigwigs against three undoubtedly angry consumers...

  RFK Jr. has enormous credibility that he has now squandered by endorsing Hillary Clinton.

- Stop the insanity: Key
  Posted by VincebusEruptum from Scholarsandrogues
  And you college football fans thought you were having a weird year. Pity the poor political junkies. This all happened in just the last couple of days: a Libertarian candidate raked in over $4 million in one day, a liberal senator says Newt Gingrich is a genius, and supposedly fed-up Dems capitulated on yet another Bush nominee...

- The horror is getting to Matt Taibbi
  Posted by VincebusEruptum from Scholarsandrogues
  Exclusive Q&A with writer Taibbi. Snippet - "If and when I ever get to be Interior Minister, one of my first acts is going to be the putting to death of anyone who thinks God interferes in the outcome of things like sporting events and elections. I'd want to have a giant shark tank built expressly for this purpose. Just throw them in there and then dump a couple of barrels of cow blood in the water..."

- With Democrats Like These ...
  Posted by Damianmann from Truth Out
  The New York Times editorial board writes: "Every now and then, we are tempted to double-check that the Democrats actually won control of Congress last year. It was particularly hard to tell this week. Democratic leaders were cowed, once again, by propaganda from the White House and failed, once again, to modernize the law on electronic spying in a way that permits robust intelligence gathering on terrorists without undermining the Constitution."

- US Senate censure of MoveOn.org: An attack on free speech in the service of militarism
  Posted by Sandyenglish
  The US Senate’s 75-to-25 vote in favor of a resolution condemning the liberal antiwar group MoveOn.org for publishing a newspaper ad questioning the credibility of Iraq war commander Gen. David Petraeus represents a chilling attack on freedom of speech and a further undermining of the bedrock constitutional principle that subordinates the military to democratic civilian control.

- Blinded by Patriotism?
  Posted by Villagenyc
  Closer to reality, does the Senate not understand that by passing such a petty and silly resolution, it stands to only provide Moveon.org with greater political elevation and status, even in the eyes of those who oppose its message? And an even more disturbing question, does the Senate not recognize that its latest move stands to fuel the perceived power of this White House and an abuse of the concept of patriotism?

Sandy…that’s EXACTLY what his point was. Patrick Martin missed the point completely.

Bill Clinton wanted to be the left-wing Reagan. Wouldn’t you say? He was after those same voters.

Also:
"Thomas Frank wrote a best-selling book four years ago (What’s the Matter with Kansas?), which examined this process in his home state, and his conclusions about the use of coded appeals to religion to induce voters to ignore their own economic interests have become conventional wisdom in ruling class political and media circles.

"While Frank’s book had certain insights into American culture and politics, he ignored the most fundamental factor enabling the Republican appeals to prejudice and backwardness to produce electoral successes—the drastic shift by the Democratic Party to the right and its abandonment of any policies to alleviate economic inequality or improve living conditions for working people.
—Patrick Martin, "US media, Clinton assail Obama for ‘bitter’ truth, World Socialist Web Site, 14 April 2008.
