Who is Wall St.'s candidate for 2012 Presidental race?

[curtinsea]

I was watching an interview of Michael Moore (I hate that fat slob, blathering liberal bafoon with more mouth than brains) by Piers Morgan, and of course he was going on and on about how bad all the Republicans are, and about how serious the Occupy Wall St movement is, and how the Republicans and their Wall St cronies are to blame and it's up to the Dems of course to fix everything.

Michael says he is "surprised that Wall St. hasn't already put up their candidate, a "bought and paid for" candidate to do their bidding, when Piers mentions that the Obama campaign has taken more money from Wall St than all eight Republican candidates combined. Michael Moore says "I don't want to say that, I hope it's not true . . . "

oh, but it is . . .


I give you Wall St's candidate . . .

Open mouth....insert foot.

He is one of the biggest morons I've ever seen. Really....not the brightest crayon in the box.

I can just look at that guy ( and Obama) and get mad!!

Obamas Wall St funding was revealed in Alex Jones March 2009 released Obama Deception. Why has it taken you nearly the whole of Obamas time in office to figure it out Curt? Didnt you notice all the chaps from Goldman Sachs running things and getting rich?

Michael "lying fat fuck" Moore says "I don't want to say that, I hope it's not true . . . "

LOL

well I was pretty sure he wasn't going to be able to raise $1B from the middle class and those trying to get in the middle class. I'm also sure the super rich aren't trying to get him elected so he will raise their taxes.

motherfunky, are you saying that alex jones was a year or two behind what was being said here in the pit?? 2009?? really!! we went round and round about who was getting more money from wall street for the 2008 election. sadly the "progressives" here refused to recognize the facts and their implications that have proved to be spot on.

[skyguy2007]

Wall Street & The Federal Reserve puts it's power behind whoever they think will be elected, they have no favorite political party.

Ron Paul scares the fuck out of them though, but they're safe because he's viewed by the general public as a goofball...the powers that be take comfort in that!

I looked for evidence of this "common" talking point but only found one reference to it in Motherfunkys ObamaNation thread post 19

Its an Obama Nation

Not that it matters who said what first, as you know what matters most in life is honesty.

[skyguy2007]

The powers that be depend on the fact that "change" of any true value is hard buying into...status quo is comfortable!

So long as we continue to allow money in politics, the political whores will be hanging out by the lamppost willing to blow for bucks. Our system simply does not allow honesty and integrity to move up the ranks of politics. Money, and those using it to influence the governing of our nation, only care to employ sycophants and psychopaths, for obvious reasons.

It's a silly waste of time to argue about who is worstest, baddesst, mostestawful. The game is rigged and they all are. If we don't stop this finger pointing, and arguing amongst ourselves and do what needs to be done, so that whoever we chose to vote for is influenced to do the right thing because it is the right thing to do, not because they were paid to do it, then NOTHING will change.

Buuuuuuuut no. This ridiculous banter will continue on, because we are all afraid and unwilling to do what is necessary. What is that? Well, first off it's necessary to stop seeing each other as the enemy, regardless of our voting choices. We have to forgive those who voted for Bush, and those who voted for Obama, and we all have to forgive those who voted for someone with a snowballs chance in hell of winning, because they couldn't bring themselves to vote for the others, and thereby as most see it, wasted their votes.

Why do we need to forgive? Because what other fucking choice did any of us have. We have to pick the lesser of evils in relation to our personal interests. It's disgusting. So long as our system allows politicians to be bought and paid for, they are not ours and our votes won't matter.

We are not each others enemy. We did not make this mess.
