To say all the combat troops are gone is just an accounting trick…

NBC News corproation had the “inside scoop” on America’s withdrawal of combat brigades. They may not have exactly helped cement the idea that the war is over but they did help the Pentagon sell the idea that the U.S. had achieved victory in Iraq.

White House press secretary Robert Gibbs became the spokesperson for Obama Administration contempt toward the left on Tuesday. The display of contempt came in the midst of a nearly 70 percent shift in Wall Street executive donations from Democratic candidates to Republican candidates ahead of the November mid-term elections.

Those now in power in the Obama administration are the heirs of the former Rockefeller Republicans who were ousted from the Republican Party by the extreme religious zealots who now dominate it. The fiscally corporatist but socially liberal Rockefeller Republicans (now Obama Republicans) have, under the rubric of the DLC, hi-jacked the Democratic Party. Time to restore real Democrats and real democratic values to power: real jobs and health care for real people, not endless corporate profits.

The globalist and the populist are “right on message”.

What really happened on Air Force One to convince Dennis Kucinich to vote in favor of the Senate Health Care Bill?

From the Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee

I was shocked and disappointed when Dennis seemed to give in to the pressure, announcing he would reverse himself and vote for the bill. Some suggested he should face a primary challenge for his flip-flop.

There’s a fascinating interview with Dennis Kucinich (and Ralph Nader) up over at Democracynow.org Reading the entire transcript of it, shows the key reason why Kucinich flipped his vote to support the White House’s “insurance reform” bill.

So Dennis hurry up and return my money before you join the plunder, which in your own words, is a giant give away to the Insurance Industry. Say what Congressman – what was that number – 70B dollars a year? So before you go spend all this money, please return my friends’ and my money. Pleeez.
