Look at the companies that got BAILOUT MONEY. Then, look at the biggest contributors to the campaign. Only the dates have changed. They'll scratch your back if you scratch theirs. And, if they're not sure they can put you in their pocket, you're not going to win.

So, we've all been "played" like a violin for the last 30 years or more.



Someone tell me... Who the lobbyist are, that hit up and pay off Ron Paul to get his vote?

Default Dylan Ratigan Goes Off

I have to say I agree with Dylan's rant. The only thing I don't agree with him on is when our economic/political system ended up in the toilet. He says it started about two decades ago, while I believe the turning point was in 1913.

Wow Dylan. Never thought you'd see the light of day. Let's start counting the days until MSNBC ends his contract. You know people who speak the truth don't last too long in the MSM

Thing is, if he says that, then MSNBC will probably fire him. With what he's saying, it sounds like he knows what's going on but if he wants to hold on to his employment, he better keep his mouth shut and worship Obama

Dylan is 100% right but he doesn't really lay out a solution that will work. The republicans are completely bought and absolutely no legislation will pass congress no matter how many speeches he gives. That's assuming Obama wants to changes things, which he doesnt, since he is a secret Tea Party member.
