Maybe Lawmakers should just say that you pay X amount to do a crime without penalty. Then we'd have an objective system by which we'd know we aren't allowed to say anything when they do it.

...what would be the cost of stealing an election in such a case?

that apparently has bought this government. The Police work for them, Congress mostly works for them, and no one is protecting the people.

Good sign.

Anaheim, CA -- coming soon to a city near you.

And our illustrious (Dem) Governor Jerry Brown? 100% silent. Typical

outside protesting TTP.

I could go on, the better question is WHERE IS YOUR MEDIA? Seriously, I keep bumping onto my regularly local OWS everywhere there is a protest or action inside and outside a myriad of my city councils.

..if something is NOT served up to them in the comfort of their suburban living rooms by the Corporate Owners of their TV,
then it doesn't exist.

You will know them by their WORKS,
not by their rhetoric, promises, or excuses.

America spent all the money they should have spent policing Wall Street on policing OWS.

Do you have anything constructive to add?

30. I'd be positively fucking thrilled if every rape allegation was taken this seriously by any government anywhere.

Of course it will be easy to prove they're not just going after him over Wikileaks: A list of the number of people accused of rape that the governments involved have fought this hard to get hold of that didn't embarrass a government. I'm sure it's quite the long list. Surely no one would be so crass as to feign concern for rape victims in an attempt to silence criticism of governments.
