Judge Sotomayor 'will help curb this corporatist trend'

[mrscot]

All you sheeple that defend corporations will be slaughtered by the same corporate meat houses. They have done well. They have convinced you all to act against your own intersts. Bernie rocks!

How exactly does Ledbetter know for sure that the guy who gave her the info is accurate? What if he just made that shit up? Was the guy a mid or high-level management Goodyear employee? Why isn't his name revealed with regards to the case, to this day? Is he afraid of being fired? WHAT?? That case was bs. And for her to get so pissed off years after she left goodyear just b/c she "Thinks" she's discriminated against even though she was satisfied with pay at the time and has left, is stupid.

And I'm sure that "lake" that he refers to in Alaska probably was 100s of miles away from civilization! Few, if anyone, would dare swim in it or fish there. So who cares if there's a little dumping?

If a guy votes for pro-insurance legislation, it doesn't mean that he's doing it just so that he can keep insurance money flowing for reelection. I mean, that's ludicrous! Look at how many special interest groups and corporations there are! There are groups for every side of the fucking aisle, so if someone changes his mind on an issue and proves it with his voting record, he'll get the other side's donations rather than the first side's. I mean, come on, guys.

Lol@Sanders. Those are some pretty poor examples of "corporatism." Ooh, allowing a "corporation" to violate the idiotic McCain-Feingold bill that doesn't even do a whole lot to keep soft money or big donors out of elections anyhow. Campaign finance reform is bullshit. It's just more useless gov't regulation for a problem that's not really a problem. There's no evidence that certain groups giving money to a candidate somehow influences him to vote their way. He FAVORS what they peddle.

[whoo689]

Or the "pay discrimination" lies. There are very FEW women out there who are actually being discriminated against in pay. I can assure you, if a woman has a 'pay discrimination' issue, she's probably overexaggerating or lying. Or perhaps she overestimated her position in the co. and thinks she deserves as much as someone who's higher-up. I realy don't know. But Ledbetter is a fucking idiot. She just believes some "insider" in the co who gave her an envelope in the mail that "proves" a gap?

Hey America, do you want REAL 'hope and change'?

Vote for more people like Senator Sanders!!

[Cogency1]

bernie needs to run for pres. 2012

[PopeKurt]

Let's hope this is another step towards a "People over Profit" trend. If Sen. Sanders has hope, that gives me hope.

Take money from the competent & give to incompetent?

Daschle, Killefer, & Geithner tax-cheats!; Berney Madoff fraud; Barney Frank was arrested for running a male prostitution ring from his own house when he was supposed to have oversight of Freddie Mack; Sen Dodd for mortgage fraud; US Trade Rep Ron Kirk a tax cheat; etc

Tax-exempt foundations are used to conceal and protect wealth from taxes, and to reward corrupt politicians who "went along."

Is it now time American citizens break the law?

The same way corporate planes flew in and out of the Soviet Union and McDonalds supports the Council of La Raza?
