David Axelrod, the White House's Senior Adviser, is ratcheting up the Democrats' attack on the U.S. Chamber of Commerce, calling special interest spending "a threat to our democracy." Axelrod is accusing the Chamber of Commerce of collecting millions of dollars from secret donors - including some foreign sources - to influence the midterm elections in favor of the Republicans, and refusing to disclose their sources. "This issue of this special interest spending is very important," Axelrod said on CBS' "Face the Nation" Sunday. "It's never happened before that organizations are spending this kind of money. And the American people need to ask, 'Why is the oil industry, Wall Street and others spending this kind of money to defeat candidates and elect others in this sort of secretive way?' You know, that is a threat to our democracy."

Wow, this guy sounds just like War, Brian S and GO65-they all forget about Obama's illegal foreign campaign contributions. Unfuckingbelieveable.
Clinton and Cuomo are the true bandits who lit the fuse to this economic crisis we're now in. All in the name of getting more minorities in houses: http://libertysflame.com/cgi-bin/readart.cgi?ArtNum=12554
There was a time when hardliner idealogues like GO did not get elected POTUS. I commented 2 years ago how this crew of GO65 bots would piss things up so quickly in the quest to drive this great country down toward their goal of egalitarian average-ness and so nothing alexprick spews re: the evils of commerce surprises me. But.....si si puede....we will hopefully begin to right the ship come Nov. and NOT with the typical "moderate" Republo-BOT

When Democrats loved the U.S. "And so, my fellow Americans: ask not what your country can do for you - ask what you can do for your country. "

I guess the GOP spend and borrow policy is the best they can do for their country.
I agree you are guessing.

Nothing like the ripe smell of hypocrisy in the morning, goofy. Your party and manchild in the Whitehouse have tripled the deficits the GOP had in 2006. When are you going to bitch about THAT? Its a rhetorical question, we all know you won't.
Obama's first all-by-his-lonesome budget, btw, calls for a $1.17 trillion deficit.
the Last chance the Constitution had: "A corporatist assumes as the god-given order of things that the purpose of America is to be mined by powerful corporate interests. He then views the Constitution purely instrumentally toward this goal. As we’ll see, this judge views the artificial, ideologically fabricated and imposed “market” as sacrosanct and beyond the Constitution’s purview. He views the written Constitution, and by extension the sovereign people’s inherent constitution, as subordinate to the corporate imperative." http://attempter.wordpress.com/
And note that JFK's Assassination marks the Meteoric Rise of the Bush Family. Until the Freedom of Information Act. Stinnett: Yes. Is this statement true?—If America was intercepting and decoding Japan’s military messages then Washington and FDR knew that Japan was going to attack Pearl Harbor. Stinnett: Oh, absolutely. You feel it’s as simple as that? Stinnett: That is right. And that was their plan. It was their "overt act of war" plan that I talk about in my book that President Roosevelt adopted on October 7, 1940.
