[quote=pri_dk]Jim Cramer had some opinions about the impact of the election:
http://i.imgur.com/Py2T0.jpg%5B/quote%5D
Apparently not as big an impact as Obamanator opening his mouth again about “responsible banking” “more regulation and more oversight”…Only problem is…..we’re still waiting on what he and government was supposedly already planning to do in terms of more oversight and more regulation…
It’s pretty clear now. Just a bunch of words to stir up mainstream.. Actual amount of work to be done => Nothing…. Obama-style.. All talk and no work…No substance….That’s change you can count on…
My take. Throw them all out. Reps. Demos alike.

Yeah, the system is working people as said by fox news. hahaha
You know what does mean something, this:
http://www.npr.org/templates/story/story.php?storyId=122805666
“By a 5-4 vote, the court ruled that corporations may spend freely to support or oppose candidates for president and Congress, overturning a 20-year-old decision that barred such contributions.”
Which makes elections even more irrelevant.
Politicians are the entertainment arm of the financial-corporate-CIA-military-industrial complex.
Yeah, have fun with your delusions that the system functions as intended.

[quote]US House Rep. Ron Paul says the CIA has has in effect carried out a “coup” against the US government, and the intelligence agency needs to be “taken out.”Speaking to an audience of like-minded libertarians at a Campaign for Liberty regional conference in Atlanta this past weekend, the Texas Republican said:
There’s been a coup, have you heard? It’s the CIA coup. The CIA runs everything, they run the military. They’re the ones who are over there lobbing missiles and bombs on countries. … And of course the CIA is every bit as secretive as the Federal Reserve. … And yet think of the harm they have done since they were established [after] World War II. They are a government unto themselves. They’re in businesses, in drug businesses, they take out dictators … We need to take out the CIA[/quote][/quote]
A, I saw that Court decision today. As I said earlier, the current political system is so corrupt and bastardized that not even an honest-minded pubic servant could ever effect any real change. This is why our only hope is a radical and revolutionary overhaul that will require Americans to reject the two dominant parties en masse.
I by no means see this election as proof that the current system is working so much as I see it as proof that people can get the attention of those in power by surprising them with their actions. That is the dramatic change that has just occurred. The next step will be to bring people to the awareness that instead of kicking a Democrat out in favor of a Republican, they should be kicking BOTH out of office. Baby steps, my friend. You can’t expect a delirious horse that has been wandering around in a desert to suddenly gallop towards water, even when you lead him to it. But eventually, he will find the water.
I’m not an optimist, but I have not fallen so far down the well of cynicism that I have given up all hope that a broken system can ever be replaced (not repaired – we are now beyond the point of repair). As the social contract continues to break down and this country continues its spiral into a slow-motion economic collapse, we will all be dragged kicking and screaming towards true and fundamental change. The GOP and Fox news may mistakenly see the MA election as a rallying cry for their cause and proof that the system in its current form *works*, but come 2012 – when it becomes clear that the pendulum swing in the opposite direction hasn’t done jack for those on Main Street – the GOP will find themselves at the wrong end of the public’s bayonette. The pendulum swings are getting shorter, sharper and faster – and very soon folks will wake up – between pendulum swings – and realize that they need to break this cycle.
The time is right for something truly revolutionary to occur in this country. And I think we will begin to see it in a few years.
And I do agree with Paul. We need to take out the CIA.

I agree that the decision regarding corporate campaign contributions is the real story.
Let’s hope we remove the vast majority of our representatives (D&R) and replace them with people who will put the well-being of the U.S. and it’s citizens first. Not likely, but we can hope. It’s good to see the message is getting out there. Now, we have to worry about the same masters (corporate, MIC, financial elite, etc.) putting new puppets out there and naming them “Independents.” We have to be sure the people we vote for are really who they claim to be, IMHO.
