By now you've probably heard the news: Mitt Romney selected Paul Ryan as his running mate.
If you believe that billionaires deserve even more tax breaks, that abortion and some forms of birth control should be criminalized, that Medicare should be gutted, and that too many students are able to afford college, then congratulations: the Romney-Ryan ticket is perfect for you!
If not, watch out. Mitt Romney has once again caved to the extreme right of his party, choosing a Tea Party darling willing to push corporate America's agenda at all costs. Even Newt Gingrich called Paul Ryan's plan to end Medicare as we know it "right-wing social engineering."
Make no mistake: this is the Koch brothers' dream ticket.
We only have 87 days left before Americans go to the polls and make a choice about the direction of our country that will affect us for generations. And we're going to use every one of those days to make sure voters understand how dangerous the Romney-Ryan agenda is for all of us!
Can we make them leave when they lose?
All we can do is make them so miserable that they decide to self-deport to their various tax havens. That's the tacit threat: If you don't cut us a better deal, we'll just move everything to China. That's what we're supposed to be afraid of. I say call their bluff.
The rich always have their boltholes.
Sadman Insane had a lovely bolt hole.
Unfortunately for him, it had a bottom.
Yeah - he kinda overlooked putting in a backdoor - Hey?
Well it was a network and networks have backdoors. How else would people be able to hack them? He just got hacked by a rope, and not in a very elegant fashion.
Karma caught up in a big time fashion.
Sometimes it works. Maybe the hole was plugged by WMD??
LOL - no probably stashed to much cash.

Another way support the 1% is to vote for who they fund instead of the candidates that actually represent you
there are more options than who the tv says.
PRIMARIES ARE IMPORTANT
Unfortunately the primaries are over and unfairly weighed against 3rd parties.
Let's vote and agitate for money out of politics, & election reform that can balance the scales for 3rd parties and real representation.
Let's also agitate for some initial testing (local level) for real direct democracy by setting up internet based voting for all citizens to weigh in on individual laws.
VQkag2 is a poser and paid political hack (liar for hire) and this post proves it:

VQkag2 is no part of the 99% or OWS. Loretta26 tells it like it is here:

Poster Madinusa sees VQkag2 for the propagandist poser he is as well:

It's the turnout thing. They think they almost have what they want.
Time to invest in Stupidity Index Futures?
They may well prove that money can't do EVERYTHING.
I guess I should have asked - instead of can we make them leave when they lose - I should have asked - do you think they will renounce their citizenship and run for the nearest boarder?
Poor poor dog of mittens strapped to the roof again.
TAX the leeches
I think that it would be prudent to safeguard the nations currency.

boycott the votes! i always thought this is going to be good idea to express your opinion. both parties candidates are removed from the people. they are represente corporations.
Elect progressives, Republicans ARE the problem
what do you think about Ron Paul?
He's an A-1 jerk.
There's no doubt about that.
The problem is, his son is even worse.
fucking A!!!
Is he the retiring old guy with the racist newsletters?
i dont care about what he might said about Israel, im sick of it already. He is like Kennedy who tried to stop the fed machine, but he still alive, wow. say what you saying, i dont care much...
Is that a yes?
Support the 99%. VOTE!
I think RP is a subject not wanted on this site - check the rules.
It OK to describe your opinion on the subject. the only RP problem is he saying truth. he should learn how to use poeitical poetry, that is all. stays silent and remain unshakable with corporate regulations
You have more power by voting than not voting. Write in who you really want. The vote for other than the big two sends the stronger message that you haven't given up.
how much do the koch pay? do they pay more for voting for a third party vote that cant win?
we pays for the choices they made. It doesnt matter what did you wrote down to the tooth fairy. outcome has only two colors black and grey
[Removed]
Yes that is a great idea, none of the occupy supporters should vote. pass this on to all your friends.
follow koch's orders
Romney can't be any worse then the Obimination. As a matter of fact I would take my chances with Romney because at least he knows what a "balance sheet" is and how to read it and take action accordingly.
The Obimination doesn't.
[Removed]
So tell me what did the Obimination have to do with the "balance sheet" of the banks other then hand over to them billions of taxpayer dollars so they could make billions in return.
Where is the billions being handed out to the average working person? There isn't any.

Too Bad - So Sad. {:[
Yes it may sound hat way but one never knows so it's always better to keep an open mind .
Ummm....sorry but I don't think that I want a compulsive psychopathic liar who freely lies about his lies in office - plus he is a known job out-sourcer - you can't get much more corpoRATist then that.
Well, I would much rather give someone a chance to run our government who at least has an understanding of what a "balance sheet" is rather then the existing "social worker" who hasn't a clue as to what a "balance sheet" is.
Fine should we find an independent CPA ?
using labels in stead of logic is the first sign of dementia -
