I believe the republican campaign is a coup d'état. The Kochs plan on buying the government

through the election, installing Romney as Pres to sign bills. A Repub congress writes Koch legislation, Romney signs it and the repub SCOTUS upholds it.

Democracy will be gone.

I just re-upped for O of A and made a contribution. Every little bit helps.

Grover Norquist said they just wanted somebody to sign the bills. They are not even hiding it. And cohone-less Mitt will never stand up to them. We cannot let him win.

Let's just hope they are over-playing their hand,
and that their hubris will back-fire at the polls.

I think they can only fudge the numbers in single
digits on those GOP corporate-owned voting machines,
as double digit variations from exit poll results is way
too obvious.

So we just need to overwhelm them on election
day, like we did in 2008, so much that they can't
get away with it.

He and his whole family did not do too well.

These rich sob's think they can start a dynasty, I doubt if they would make it 1 generation.

I seriously can't believe they are so arrogant they think they can enslave the world & no one will want to grind them into dogfood?

Everyday, the first thing I look for in the news is "bad, bad, tragic, bad news" for the 1% & can't believe it did not happen last night.

If I hate them more than Hitler, the Taliban or Al Kaida, there has got to be a lot more angry folk in a nation of 350,000,000 people.
