#1 Political Issue
 
What would you say is your #1 political issue/priority? I think mine would be to see ENDA passed.

If Universal Health Care, ENDA, and the ERA were achieved in the same year I think I would faint... I wouldn't ask for anything at all for my birthday or christmas, I'd just make brownies with happy faces on them and give them out to everyone.

9. The Justice Department to focus on Wall Street.

Last edited Thu Jun 6, 2013, 02:39 AM USA/ET - Edit history (1)

Until the financial moguls realize legal accountability, they will commit large scale theft unchecked.

The first order of business isn't about addressing "too big to fail" (a cop-out meme to justify bailouts), it is about addressing "too big to prosecute" (I'm quoting our infamous, "no balls" Attorney General here).

Last I checked, there is not one single American in jail for the crashing of the world economy in 2008.

The signal has been blatantly given that the middle class is ripe for the pickings, by our financial institutions, with the blessings of our Justice Department. Left unchecked, we are headed for a "France like" revolution. Guaranteed. You simply can't flaunt gaudy wealth in the face of the wide spread growth of our "working poor". Exactly what happened in prerevolutionary France.

Meanwhile, our "progressive" President has surrounded himself with ALEC type "visionaries". Wormtongue from "The Lord of the Rings" comes to mind.

10. Stopping the plutonomists. Everything from the Koch brothers and their "tea party", "citizens united

PACs and politicians (effectively owning a branch of government) to the 470+ times income inequality between the rich and the poor, to getting money out of politics...stop the plutonomists and things will be significantly better.

13. Expose the Republicans for treason

If they really cared about the nation they would find a way to work across the aisle to improve our country! But they really don't give a flying f*ck about anything except making sure the Adminstration fails.
But the true #1 priority should be universal health care.

18. Stopping hydrofracking.

I think that it is inter-connected with most all of the other equally important issues. It's the one that I focus most of my attention on.

Conservatives have learned you can't make deals with fascists. Yes, we want this administration to fail. Our very freedom depends upon it.
*** but that's not really your point is it, Freddie? You want to kill and imprison your enemies. How can anyone reach across the aisle to make deals with a murderous ba$tard like YOU? Here's a hint, If I'm reaching out to you, it's because I have a baseball bat in my hand.

Yep, and the worse part is, they are going to get loose in this country.  They know the military will never turn it's guns on US citizens, at least not in enough numbers, but they know they can get the so-called disaffected to do whatever they want.  All they have to do is turn off the food stamps and blame it on those they consider their enemies, and they'll have their army.

Making a deal with them is a stupid idea.
