Or call for a hearing to ask the bank executives how much interference in the People's business do they think $15,000 buys. Maybe ask them to draw up schematics of what bank donations of varying sizes should buy them in the Senate. Then cc everything to the 5 corporate justices at the SCOTUS.

. . . and the fact that they are coordinating has that RICO smell to it.

That would be a huge boost for Democrat's street cred. In votes, I'd bet, worth far more than the Ameros withheld.

Preferably one with him showing off his deep throating appreciation of corndogs or some other phallic object.

it's sad but Hillary Clinton is a hold-your-nose-and-vote candidate . . . Elizabeth Warren isn't a good presidential pick either, she does best right where she is (almost . . . chair of a couple of committees would be better).

what we need is Bernie Sanders (or someone like him) without all the "he can't possibly win" attached.

Cept mockery is our finest attack advantage and it only hurts. Doesn't kill. While I have no doubt President Obama making just the right announcement from the Oval Office would cause the heart attacks & strokes of millions of Fox News viewers....well, on that note I'd take that trolling as a good start.

Contest: name that Presidential announcement.

I wouldn't give the DSCC a wooden farthing, for fear it would wind up in an anti-Obama campaign ad. Now I might cut up my Citibank card in case they change their mind. And also because I'm headed for the casino and I have poor self-control.

Lizzie has read and understood The Wealth of Nations. Unlike all the twits wearing Adam Smith ties.

Of course she'd win!
