American democracy faces a very real threat. The power of money is overwhelming the power of average voters to influence government decisions.. . .

Exactly! 

This article points out what I and several others have been saying on this very forum since the "Wise-Fools" granted corporations constitutional rights and unfettered contribution levels to political parties.

Our government is now the very best of those available to be bought!

I notice nothing is being said about unions since they contribute to the liberals.

   But Sugar Buns, I am quite sure they would contribute to the Republican candidates if they would support laws supporting the middle class working people here in America.   

  But Sugar Buns can you name me any law that have been passed by the Republican/Tea Party leaders that are for the working, middle class people and can you name me any laws that have improved the voting laws for the huddled masses here in this country?  Come on Butter Cup, you of all people should come up with something that isn't a lie or excuse.

Holy hell. . . So the White House brokers the release of a POW that has been held for 5 years by the Taliban, by releasing 5 Gitmo Detainees in a prisoner exchange. The soldier appeared to be near death due to illness, and the administration felt that if this was not successful he would die in captivity.

Now, after he is safe and undergoing treatment in Germany, we are hearing the caterwauling of the conservative ass-hats, complaining of being out of the loop for a year and half over these issues, etc., and other members of his former unit and their families, screaming for his head due to a perceived dereliction of duty, abandonment of his post, etc.

1. Sorry, but these ass hats in congress have zero reason to complain. They have clearly demonstrated over the last 6 years that they are not to be trusted, especially when the lives of Americans are concerned. Keep bawling you cry babies. You'll soon find yourselves on the outside looking in.

2. As for the families and former members of his unit; your day is coming. Rest assured he will face the UCMJ surrounding these allegations and receive prescribed punishment should he be found guilty. However, I dare say that if he is found guilty at any level, no amount of punishment will be enough for you. From the sound bytes being spread across the media of your position, it would appear he would have been far better off being be-headed by the Taliban than being required to pay penance for his perceived transgressions.

Let the system work, let the man come home to his family, and stand before a Court Martial to answer the questions before him. Until then, STFU and wait.

I think this is being diverted by the press into another story.......the story I am more concerned with is that Obama going against the law by releasing prisoners at Gitmo, without notifying congress 30 days prior. 

Also, is this infringing upon "Negotiating with terrorists?"

and to boot, 5 to1?  Not even a reasonable deal.

But, that is all I am going to say....lets give this some time to shake out.

  Yeah,  let's shake it out.   It's just another way to build up hate for Obama.       These "terrorist" Taliban were fighting the American invasion, they are not the Al-Qaeda.    And how in hell would you know what a reasonable deal is, when it comes to a military decision.

  What really get me is the Chicken Hawk draft dodgers who comes out to  prosecute Bergdahl and his parents.     People who used 1 to 7 deferments to get out of going to war.  Like Prick Cheney "I had other thing to do".   

  After seeing all of the damage to our troops through two wars caused by George W. Bush and Prick Cheney.    We still have Ass holes who stand by them.
                                                                                     

Our men and women who have shell shock WW ll and new problems like combat fatigue, hysterical neurosis, post traumatic stress syndrome and posttraumatic stress disorder.  But this kid had to be perfectly sane to do what he did.  You got to be kidding me.  This young boy was home school and didn't have any idea what the real world was like.         And you guys want to hang him on a cross. 

  These Republican Bastard don't have a Jesus bone in their bodies.

Seriously? This last week of media propaganda filler is nothing more than horse shit!

You mean to tell me there isn't anything better than reviewing the infamous OJ Simpson "White Bronco car chase" from 20 years ago?

Who the hell gives one friggin damn about that shitty period in this country's shameful history?

1. A low speed car chase in an early sport utility vehicle, with Simpson riding in the back seat with a .357 to his own head.

2. A phalanx of police units following them.

3. Crowds gathering along the route to wave, cheer, and jeer.

4. Police investigative work that must have been conducted by a local kindergarden class.

5. A weeks long televised trial that served to accentuate the ineptness of the police department and the prosecutors office, forcing a jury to render the only verdict it could.

6. And the "shocking" revelation of racism within that same investigating authority.

I'd just as soon forget the whole fucking fiasco; especially since karma ensured the perp is sitting int he sin bin anyway, instead of schlepping booze and swatting golf balls on high profile golf courses.

But noooooooo. These asshats have to "celebrate" the whole damned mess 20 years later, and rip the scabs off the wounded souls of the victims families. . . 

[Henry Hawk]

Yeah, I agree.  I could care less.  I turned the channel every time it was mentioned.  You are right about the karma thing too.....His life is not a bed of roses.

[Palehorse]

Yeah. The only "roses" in his life now are the pet names he's being called while Bubba is layin' the pipe to him. . .

[Locutus]

That guy is fuckin' unbelievable.  He literally gets away with murder, astonishing anyone with half a brain. He knows the whole country is after him and that he could get imprisoned for merely pissing on a tree, yet still goes out and does that because someone "has his shit" and he wanted it back.

I guess he thought what happens in Vegas stays in Vegas, or that consequences are things that happen to other people. 

 

[Purplelady1040]

You would think the news could find something more news worthy than some asshole who got away with murder 20 years ago.
