The Bush administration did not need 60 votes to get legislation passed. The Bushiters did not waste any time trying to get Dems to come along they just ran over anybody who did not play along.

Many Dems played along.

The Bushiters used 'Reconciliation' when they wanted it. As I understand it, reconcilation bills have some limitations that can be fixed later.

Harry Reid wants cover to sell out the voters that gave the Dems their 60 vote caucus majority, so the DC Dipshits can still pander to big corporate donors and lobbyists.

So Republicans and DC Dipshits are working together while DC Dipshits peddle the '60 Votes' crack.

I'm not falling for it anymore and I hope you don't fall for their Bushite any more.

Don't let the DC Dipshits continue peddling crack. If they don't clean up themselves then take them out with Primary Challenges next election cycle in 2010.

Will their campaign coffers of 'blood money' save them from defeat?

If so-called Democratic Senators sell out the American people on 'the Public Option' will their millions of dollars in campaign contributions save them from being defeated in their next re-election bid?

What is sickening about the 'centerist' Dems is that they are willing to discuss having more thousands of Americans suffer and die for blood money.

Oh, and... just like scumbag 'Dem' repesentative Tauzin (who sold out America with the odiously expensive Medicare Drug Benefit (for pharma companies) while negotiating a FAT employment agreement with a pharma lobbying group, these folks have no conscience -- they are ACTIVELY considering selling us out again.

Slinkerwink and nyceve need your help to fight them NOW!

CALL you Senators, ESPECIALLY if you have never done it before.

CALL THEM!!!

For your dialing convenience, Slinkerwink's phone numbers are repeated below the fold!

The structural problems in the American economy are fixed.

Demand is down because consumers have been robbed to fund Wall Street Weasel Colony gambling debts.

The 'help' for mortgage holders is NOT HAPPENING, millions of home are in foreclosure with millions more on the way. Millions of people who are still able to make their mortgage payments are unable to move to follow a job or sell to retire.

Timothy Geithner and Ben Bernacke are busy saving Wall Street and pissing in the futures of millions of working class Americans.

Things aren't going to change until Obama changes.

That mean JOBS! Not talk, not unemployment, not rhetoric, not 'Green Shoots' Bushite...

JOBS!

Where to get those JOBS?

There's a new video out with an interview with Better Place CEO Shai Agassi discussing the progress made in 'battery exchange' electric cars.

As the 'talking head' interview takes place, the video cuts to video of the process actually happening at the demo site in Yokohama, Japan.

America had better 'get on the stick', because Shai Agassi says that Better Place is not trying to compete with the Chevy Volt, they are expecting to compete on COST with the Chevy Malibu.

My hometown of Napa, CA has signed up to be part of the Better Place initiative, and my wife and I hope to be one of the first Kossacks to own a battery exchange electric car.

We were the first Kossack and Kossette to meet via DailyKos and we want to set a new Kossack/Guiness record with this too.

The banksters (after getting ALL THAT DAMN MONEY from Taxpayers) are still fighting re-writing mortgages to keep Americans in their homes.

The 'stress tests' were a fraud, there are still $Trillions in 'toxic assets' un-recognized, and the 'green shoots' are thistle.

The healthcare leeches are fighting to keep sucking the blood of the millions of Americans who are 'covered' with 'Junk Insurance' so they can have a feeding tube placed in their gullets with 'Junk Insurance for All'.

The House and Senate have between Republicans and 'ConservaDems' majorities of corporate-indentured slugs who are working to slow-step, weaken and prevent 'Change We Can Believe In'.

Work Hours are STILL falling, meaning smaller paychecks.

And, like Paul Krugman, (and UNLIKE "The Automatic Earth") I'm going easy on the situation.

Another bad day for "Green Shoot" spokesliars.

Awhile back I read a comment on a diary calling the pushers of the 'Green Shoots' myth contemptible.

It's easy to agree with that commenter.

Notice how the publicly trumpeted attempt to keep homeowners in their homes was really designed to fail to work. Read this from the Huffington Post.

To top Kuttner's article, I've read articles and watched TV segments of banks blaming 'disorganization' for stalling people who were current on their mortgages but 'in trouble' until they were late on their mortgages and thus now beyond 'help'.

So far everything coming out of Washington,DC has been pretty contemptible. And the DC Dipshits have no reason to expect to have a pumped up electorate to keep them in office next year.

How to Stop Inflation and Put People to Work

Yes, I am going to talk about Hitler and Nazi Germany.

Hitler is rightly despised for his aggressive war, racism, and the holocaust of Jews, homosexuals, and Jehovah's Witnesses, along with the horrible treatment of Poles and Russians.

However, when you look at those old movies where all those Germans were chanting 'Sieg Heil' one has to wonder what brought him to power and what made him so popular with the average German?

It wasn't all just German predjudice against Jews, although that was a part.

Hitler put an end to the 'wheelbarrow of money to buy a loaf of bread' and put the German people to work again.

In just four years without inflation...

How did he do it? Find out here

The German government printed money, put people to work on infrastructure projects, but made this 'currency' inaccessible to currency traders.

The US Constitution provides our government with this power, but we are NOT USING it.

Ask Timothy Giethner why, you won't like the answer.

I've been waiting for the May unemployment numbers to come out and dispell the 'Green Shoots' groupthink here at DKOS for a month. Well, the numbers are coming out and, granted, they don't suck as bad as before, but they still SUCK!

There has been mousenuts done for Main Street and $TRILLIONS for the care and feeding of Wall Street Weasel Colonies.

Obama signs for 'Ronald Reagan Day' or some such crap, and the progressives (who worked their asses off for Obama) are all supposed to be SO IMPRESSED with Obama's masterful method of playing the game of 'Inside the Beltway' politics.

I thought the whole idea of Obama'a campaign was to CHANGE stuff... not learn how to 'play the game'.

Where the hell is the 'Change We Can Believe In'???

The NY Times has an article on how working class Americans are being fucked around by Bank of America and other banksters who have recieved $BILLIONS in money to bribe them to rewrite mortgages and are NOT doing it.

You don't even want to read what folks are saying about Bernacke/Geithner over at 'The Automatic Earth'. How does "Sucker's Rally" resonate?

Cassandra tortures me at night when I don't speak out against the DC Dipshittery.

I followed the links about Diary creation including the 'extended page' and unfortunately I did not find any 'Bannable Offenses' laid out beyond copyright infringment, and inflamatory language, titles, call-outs and such.

Specifically, there is no list of 'conspiracy theories' that are bannable to discuss that I could find in the kind of casual search most users might make.

I want to know if a link can be created to somebody with their own blog who has an interesting and thoughtful post on something not related to the reason their DKOS userid was banned?

In other words, can you get banned for linking to or quoting a 'banned user' somewhere else if the subject itself is not a 'bannable offense'?

If you can get banned for quoting/linking to a 'banned user' then we need a list of 'banned' users and/or sites.

Just asking the admins and the boss for some clarity.

Many users, especially new ones, may not know somebody was banned, or the bannable subjects to avoid.

I usually write diaries filling out more angles in my very unpopular "Cassandra" series.

But I'm hankering for some GOOD NEWS, so here is some!

I've been blogging about 'Better Place' and 'standardized EV battery technology' a little here, but mostly in my local paper.

Well, Better Place has a battery-exchange video up on their website!!!

Here is the vehicle of the future getting a 'fillup'!!!

In UNDER two minutes, without getting out of the car.

Watching the video made me think of my step-dad at age 4 'going to town' in a horse-drawn wagon in 1919 and seeing an automobile for the first time.

My local city council has signed up to be a part of the Bay Area initiative to put 'Better Place' charging units and battery replacement centers in our town!

If we add rooftop solar electric that homeowners could get PAID FOR instead of utility theft of energy and the California economic miracle could resume.

A little MORE after the jump!

When it gets down to it for the Americans who are going to die for lack of healthcare, what's the difference between Senator Baucus having doctors arrested so he can keep his lying show on the road, and George W. Bush?

Well... There IS the pesky matter of numbers!

George W. Bush's policies killed some 4,200 American soldiers in Iraq.

Thanks to Max Baucus, LOTS MORE Americans will suffer and die EVERY SINGLE YEAR.

Yet, 'we' are supposed to be just SO proud of the Dem's 'big tent', and a 'Dem' majority in Congress is SOOOO important, right?

Sorry, but I don't much like the idea of sharing a tent with camel, the likes of Max Baucus, corporate stooge.

Turncoat Baucus reeks of murder-by-spreadsheet blood money and has the mark of Cain.

They call themselves 'Leaders' what they are is SELLOUTS.

We're never going to get anywhere with the corrupt system we have.

SENATORS, are the WORST, but House critters are nearly as bad.

We MUST HAVE a 'Public Option' in campaign finance... PERIOD!
