funny how scb/egghead, krash, dockman, and Jimbo are so silent as the Koch Bros sponsored tea baggers take America off of the economic cliff.

dockman...egghead...first time in a long time that both of you are correct in that the dems are trying to appease the tea baggers.......pretty sad...

however docky, you have not been paying attention if you are still mis-identifying O'Bachmann as a "little darling of the left"....since there is NO viable left in America..and the center right democratic spokepersons have decried O'Bachmann as a rightwing corporatist....that should make you a fan docky...

Farley you are delusional

Left wing pollster Stanely Greenberg just released his newest polls and sent them out urgent to all progressives

His findings are devastating to liberals--

1) voters in developed nations are turning away from Democrats, Socialist, liberals and progressives
2) They are estranged from the government and associate anything progressive as government
3) If the Democrats hope to regain leadership they must show they are as determined as the Tea Party to change the rules of the game
but the most devastating news
4) Voters believe “Government rushes to help the irresponsible and does little for the responsible."

So the two issues that Greenberg suggests the Democrats must change-

Democrats must “advocate policies that would control the borders and address problems of undocumented workers,” “see strong enforcement at the border and in the workplace, and the expulsion of troublesome undocumented immigrants."

“Finally, progressives have to be serious about reducing the country’s long-term deficits” because “the deficit matters to people and has real meaning and consequences.” and the Democrats must stop the government’s spending spree

So when a leftest like Greenberg starts to advise the left to "join the Tea Party policy of fiscal discipline and immigration--you know the progressives are in deep deep do do

yes docky the center right corporatist O'Bachmann is a failure....he swallowed goBPer Kool-Aide and failed to pass EFCA, failed to pass Universal single payer health care, failed to hold the CHENEY/JimBeam/bush crime syndicate accountable, failed to hold Wall Street and the bankers accountable, failed to end the bush tax cuts.....yes all the goBPer things O'Bachmann has done have made him a failure.......but then docky do you believe Romney, Huntsman, Gingrich, Bachmann, Cain, Santorum, Perry, Pawlenty, etal are a viable answer to a week willed center right corporatist like O'Bachmann?......Docky, who would you choose?

Tea Partiers, like Occupiers should be able to applaud this opinion

I have no idea of what political persuasion Judge Dennis Blackmon is, but Tea Partiers and Occupiers alike should be able to applaud his opinion in Otis Wayne Phillips v. US Bank.


From the opinion…


Otis Phillips is behind on his house payments and is in grave danger of foreclosure.

-The United States Government paid taxpayer dollars to the largest of our financial institutions, and to European Union Banks, in order to prop up those poorly run organizations.
-Twenty Billion of those dollars were handed over to the defendant, U.S. Bank.
-U.S. Bank agreed to participate in the U.S. Government's HAMP program to help struggling homeowners.
-U.S. Bank signed a Service Participation Agreement (SPA), in which the bailed out bank agreed to comply with the HAMP Guidelines for loan modification
-The HAMP guidelines require U.S. Bank to perform modification services for all morgage loans it services.
-Otis Phillips applied to modify his mortgage with U.S. Bank.
-U..S. Bank denied the request, without numbers, figures, or explanation, reasoning, comparison to the guidelines, or anything. U.S. Bank would not reveal to Mr. Phillips how his income, or his house, or his expenses would make him ineligible according to HAMP guidelines.
