Keith Olbermann for President!!

[ZombifiedRob]

Are you a lobbyist or representative for a major multinational corporation or bank? No? So shut up and pay your taxes. "Freedom."

[TheCOMMONSENSEMEDIA]

I agree with so much this man has to say. However, I am sorry to say that the time frame for a peaceful resolution to the tyrannical oppression upon us has long since passed. Our government does not understand anything about peaceful resolution. Nor do they listen to us. The overwhelming majority of Americans said "NO" to the bailouts. Yet, that voice was not heard to ANY degree. They did exactly what THEY wanted. Is ANYONE naive enough to think that a peaceful resolution is even possible?

[YawnGod]

I came.

Several times.

@rascalz819 As long as there is a new iPhone or flat screen or some other gadget put on the market that we "think" we need, Americans will stay willfully ignorant. They perceive any slow down in their ability to acquire such items as a threat to their livelihood. You could start selling nothing but dog shit and ranch dressing at the grocery store and they wouldn't mind as long as they could go next door and get the latest gadget.

not even 100,000 view ? meanwhile Bieber has 100,000,000.. What people like him forget to mention is that Us citizens are completely and deeply indoctrinated in a superficial world that wont let them see past anything. People nowadays are nothing more then mindless zombies walking straight into oblivion.

@gravyfury Hey hey now!! Dont call Olbermann a tool.. Olbermann is AWESOME!

And for the record.. I have ALWAYS had complaints about congrees & our gov.. Regardless of who was in office! Democrats.. Republicans.. Whats the difference?! They both screw us over, & only seem to have concern for their own self interests. -- Vive la revolution! (I WOULD say.. If it didnt mean that there pry would be blood in the streets, that is.) Sigh. :|

[LittleDesertFlower78]

@geebus80 Well.. It could(have.. A long time ago when there were WAY less people, & stuff was WAY less complicated.) :(

[LittleDesertFlower78]

@ZombifiedRob Hell yeah!! Preach on brother, preach on....

[TheUndivine]

Our government, as well as most governments across the world, as well as politicians, are all bought and paid for. You think that they're acting in our best interests as they pocket hundreds of thousands or even millions of dollars from big corporations? It doesn't matter who is voted into office anymore. Voting in its entirety is a joke. Winning an election is like signing a contract with the highest bidding corporate sponsor(s). Nothing will change unless we physically take back what is ours.

[MRrhythmsNflows]

Reclaiming gov't sounds good but extremely difficult. It means confronting our most embarrassing & least endearing qualities. Listening/empathizing/respecti­ng one another in a way that will likely make most very uncomfortable. Acknowledging personal shortcomings while addressing racial/cultural/class divisions. Folk SAY they want change but really most are unwilling 2 do what's necessary to induce it. Change won't succeed without first overcoming our petty fears & intolerance of one another.
