tshile Posted April 16, 2015 Share Posted April 16, 2015 It's just hard to argue with her stance on the banking industry. Seems pretty common sense. Yup. But money wins elections and she just pissed off a good chunk of the people with money. It's sad it works that way, but it definitely works that way.

If it is too big to fail; then it is too big. We need a trust buster Teddy R for the 21st century. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Follow the Trans Pacific trade agreement details. Paul Ryan is supporting a bill to streamline things for Obama to get the pact easier for congress to approve. Cats and dogs sleeping together. Tell me the multinationals are not calling in their markers for this one! These politicians are doing as they are damn well told. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What is really interesting though is if Warren rallies the base, it could definitely force Hillary's hand on this issue. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
88Comrade2000 Posted April 17, 2015 Author Share Posted April 17, 2015 Veep Warren. Then President Hillary mysteriously gets sick after taking the oath of office and passes away. Potus #46: Elizabeth Warren then assumes office. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

88Comrade2000 Posted April 17, 2015 Author Share Posted April 17, 2015 That's terrible. Maybe, but that is scenero that may happen one day or it may have already happened. One of the JFK conspiracies lays the blame at LBJ. A power hungry veep wants the presidency so bad; they resort to nefaroius means to get rid of the President. Fiction? Fantasy? Horror? I have no doubt people who want power, will resort to whatever means possible, even murder if it gets them the power they want. Manipulate elections? 2004? 2000? My specific example is probably picking the wrong person to do such a thing. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Hillary has named her van Scooby.

I actually know very little about the trans pacific trade agreement, other than i hear a lot of people complain about it. It goes to show that this is all an act. They're perfectly capable of working together when they feel the need to. It's just that "Feel the need to" only seems to encompass giving themselves raises, benefits, and when their (big time) donors tell them to do something.

Bliz Posted April 17, 2015 Share Posted April 17, 2015 We're all full of ****. None of us are voting FOR something anymore. It's always a vote for the person who has the best chance of beating the other side. Followed by a vote in the general not for someone, but against the greater of two evils. That's the thing with Hillary. She's not very popular with the liberal wing of the party. Plenty of dems don't like her much, or at all. But at the end of the day, they will hold their nose and pull the lever for Hillary. Better her than that crazy republican guy who wants to burn down all the orphanages, right? Not so different than GWB 2004... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They don't need to come together to give themselves a raise. They automatically get one unless they specifically vote against it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Corcaigh Posted April 17, 2015 Share Posted April 17, 2015 In other news, Elizabeth Warren just ended her campaign USnews - Elizabeth Warren Calls for Breaking Up the Banks Not so fast. Many banks want this. A lot of very powerful investors think breaking up the banks would increase their value and provide opportunity. Their question is the method by which it is done.

Larry Posted April 17, 2015 Share Posted April 17, 2015 There's a story like that about Reagan and Bush too. Actually, the conspiracy theory that I always liked, about Reagan and Bush, was that supposedly, Bush, personally, went to the Ayatollah, and convinced him to keep the American Hostages till after the election, so that Reagan could defeat Carter. What I've loved is the notion that the second banana on the electoral ticket, on a ticket that's challenging a sitting President, during a national crisis, a man who has no authority to offer the Ayatollah anything at all other than vague promises that begin with "if we win, then . . . ", could supposedly talk the Ayatollah into doing something that will supposedly replace a President who said Ayatollah is already embarrassing, with somebody who will supposedly threaten his country. That a guy who has no cards to bargain with, whatsoever, could supposedly cut a deal with a guy who's holding the winning hand, right now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
s0crates Posted April 18, 2015 Share Posted April 18, 2015 I don't know what the evidence is for that theory, so I can't speak to it. I don't think I'd say Bush held no cards though. That has been a very powerful family for generations. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That has been a very powerful family for generations. The Bush family is evil. Bush family supposedly made their money with Nazi money. There's one conspiracy that ties Papa to the JFK assassination. We know of course Bush stole the 2000 and 2004 election and Jeb is making plans to steal it from Hillary.

88Comrade2000 Posted April 18, 2015 Author Share Posted April 18, 2015 Well, back to the race; LOL. Looks lik Mike Huckabee plans to get in the race on May 5th. http://www.realclearpolitics.com/articles/2015/04/18/huckabee_hints_hell_launch_white_house_bid_may_5.html I read or heard that Walker won't be getting in until after the Wisconsin budget has been passed; so it maybe June for him. As for Bush, his views on immigration alone will probably prevent him from getting the nomination. The republican electorate is against any sort of legalization for the illegals.
