Why is he the spokesperson for OWS? Seriously, he never stops representing the movement and he says terrible things about allies and he does NOT speak for me. Why is OWS allowing this to happen and why was my post censored?
He does not control the message. This movement is more primal than that. Our one demand, as I believe that is all we can afford has to be: Amend the Constitution for government ONLY financing of elections, no contributions, from anyone; rendering Citizens United a moot point. It’s the only piece of this that resonates with the anti-establishment left, the anti-establishment right and everyone in between. Including many who make 350k+ believe me its great to make that kind of money but that doesn't mean you want to spend it on some one's (or even your own) campaign where the mega-corps and uber-unions are going to drown you out anyway. The shear fear of this movement uniting and growing, immune to their false discourse would so scare the shit out of them they'd probably start proactively trying to appease us. Wouldn't that be nice? Oh, and its spin-proof. The logical contortions involved in trying to spin this would only push people to us.
Americans are a bottomless pit of stupidity
There is no floor in this pit. The bottom does not exist. Each night Jon Stewart and Steve Colbert ridicule the leaders and most prominent powerful Americans. They are ridiculed for their bizarre, absurd thoughts which they communicate on a daily basis but no one in America understands that the politicians and pundits who manipulate all American behavior, are liars and stupid.
The entire media conspired to brush aside the claim by Hillary Clinton who was campaigning against Obama. She made a public statement that was a direct lie. Beside it being a lie, why would any reasonable person want to elect a person because they had been shot at in Bosnia? Can it get any more stupid than that? The claim that Hillary Clinton is a smart person from Yale is nonsense. The fact that Obama would ignore such a ridiculous lie which she blamed on being tired. Hillary makes up illogical lies when she gets tired but Americans couldn't care less.
Having Americans choose their President is a terrible idea. There needs to be a test that Americans need to pass or they should not be allowed to vote. Why would anybody oppose that? If you can't pass the test, you can't vote. The questions will be made public so all citizens can learn the correct answers. If people don't care, and can't pass the test -- America would continue being stupid. We'll allow poorly informed people to vote in the worst possible choice to run America further into the ground.
Obama has lied about everything he promised us to sucker voters to vote for him. 98% of the blacks voted for him and I can understand that, but now the blacks are afraid to admit that Obama screwed them and everybody else except the crooks who gave him $35,000 to be in the same room for lunch in NYC.
I don't care what color the president is if he's making decisions that will benefit all Americans with good job opportunities and fair taxation. A great energy plan would be fabulous for all of us but Obama will never do that. That's a proven fact.
