i blame ALL career politicians but one. I refuse to be tricked into the partisan lemming activities that many here are. BOTH parties have been spending "like drunken sailors" for far more than just bush's tenure. If you blame just one party then you are both partisan and naive, something many who voted for Obama are as guilty of as those who supported Bush.

In the spirit of the above discussion, I would encourage everyone regardless of political affiliation to support HR 1207 and S 604 bills in Congress that would hold the Morgan, er Federal Reserve, up to a little more scrutiny and accountability.

An easy way to support these bills is to go to:

Campaign For Liberty

Sign the petitions and fire off some emails to your elected representatives.

Have a nice day

irspow,
I have been a reader and listener of Ron Paul for many many years. Signed that petition weeks ago. We need transparency and a lot of it and we need it NOW.

Just a ship set on a doomsday course by the neo-cons, and a timid captain at the helm.

On Friday a non profit daycare center closed down here in El Paso because it could not make payroll due to the higher minimum wage. The employees, as well as the parents, are pretty disgruntled that they were not given advance notice.

He is no radical - he is going along with the neo-con war agenda, helping the rich bankers maintain their control via the Fed, and coming up with a healcare plan that will force people to buy insurance, thus helping the healthcare corporations. The 'radicals', Paul, Gravel and Kucinich were not elected, unfortunately.
