Corporation influence is bad enough but republican politicians ignore what a constituent is. They don't even pretend to represent the whole of who they are supposed to speak for. They would say openly that they promote the views of only those who voted for them, but that is always a lie too..They look at it as their winning majority of voters approve of them personally and their own little agenda. Many of their voters agree with this as how it is meant to be..This being a republic and not a democracy. My representative in congress is the king of who voted for him and they have sworn to defer to him without question..Those that didn't vote for him simply do not exist.
In this clip he says "speaking for me personally"... That is really not his job but it is evident that all he does is speak personally for those who fill his cayman island numbered accounts..

This is exactly what we have heard from Silvio Berlusconi for years in Italy. "I only govern for those who voted for me".
At other times, however, its "to take me down, is to go against the popular will". Whichever strategy fits the moment.
Democracy at its finest no doubt.

Wow! I'd heard about that public apology but had never actually seen footage of it. What can I say? W-O-W!
That video is proof of how deep Big Business is in the politician's pockets. It's amazing how these people go from private enterprises to the public world and then back and how people just vote for them.
What is also amazing is seeing the American media outlets not say a single thing about this guy's remarks. These media entities are such an intricate part of the Department of State that they might as well just play everything the Military Channel has to offer.
Weird, weird country the USA.

And this is a foreign company he is apologizing to...I live in his district..He got close to 80% of the vote..Probably no one in his district works for BP nor does BP operate in any way here.

The solution to your troubles is to move to California.
I really like the civility shown in the comments on the youtube clip.
Carry on with your mad as hell Sunday, which was preceeded by an angry Saturday and to be followed by a I'm pissed off Monday.
What a way to go through life.
Cheers.

Hey dude, you missed some standard leftist insults, you know racist, bigot, homophobe.... Since you're the resident walking cliche, I demand a better effort.
I don't own a gun. Sorry 'bout that.

And Red, he may drink beer, but he drinks good beer. In fact, if I remember correctly, he was drinking good beer at Flanders last year, so he's got some redeeming value.
Thoughtforfood said:
True..Even I'd drink beer in Flanders..on the other hand..You don't suppose he is one of those who would ask a flandrian if they speak German. ala Tom DeLay?
redtreviso said:
Nope. A Flemish family has befriended my wife and I. Their 12 year old daughter is determined to teach us to speak Dutch.
The only practical reason I can see for this is being able to watch the Sporza Live cycling feeds and listen to announcers who are not LA fanboys.
I speak some French tho and that helps. Overall, my language skills are an embarrassment.
live from southern california or somewhere else in dfistan

John Clease has an accurate read on Sahrah.
Definetly he is not one of the haters of Lord Armstrong!

""When Sarah Palin shot back at critics who proposed that her severe -- and perhaps violence-suggesting -- rhetoric and campaigning helped inspire Jared Lee Loughner's massacre in Tuscon, she accused those critics of blood libel -- and started an entirely new firestorm in the process.
Palin's invoking of blood libel, which in its proper use refers to a centuries old lie that was used to justify mass anti-semitism and Jewish persecution, immediately drew angry responses from politicians and Jewish groups, but also brings back to the forefront her own religious affiliation -- and its not infrequent brushes with anti-semitism.
Palin, who makes no secret of her devout Christian evangelism, is a member of Wasilla Bible Church, which subscribes to the Pentecostal Assembly of God. It is a small community church, but one that has been the host to a number of controversial speakers -- with Palin both in the audience and openly participating.
But it starts earlier than that. Palin is a member of a spiritual network maintained by Mary Glazier, a member of the Apostolic Council of Prophetic Elders. A council of 500 "apostles," with each leader heading up its own network - like the one Palin is in - they seek to use "spiritual warfare" to retake the nation - and world - from the sinners they claim are currently running it.
In large part, they're referring to American Jews."" (cont)

Unfortunately the country is filled with these nut cases.
I have had the trying experience of having to give a tours in Rome to Mormons and Jehovah's Witnesses from such places as Utah and California more than once. What these people believe, in the 21st century, is positively terrifying. But this would not even be the real problem being a relative minority as they are, because then there are a multitude of 'Muricans from various mainstream protestant Evangelical sects who actually believe that dinosaurs roamed the earth 4 thousand years ago and that the world is only 6000 years old.
And they teach this crap to their kids. Sarah Palin is, by all accounts, one of them. I have always known my homeland to be a place of wild contradictions, in this case between these folks and urbanites of say the Northeast, however among the reactionary right in the US there are far too many wackos actually convinced of this religious obscurantism and many of them are people in power. While one need not go as far away as rural Utah or Florida to find them, because any redneck zone 50 miles southwest of Philadelphia will suffice. And these are the ones who vote in block for the most horrible politicians, which then makes them not only a danger to America but the entire civilized planet.
