Researching Today's issues for progressive change
To announce that there must be no criticism of the president, or that we
are to stand by the president, right or wrong, is not only unpatriotic
and servile, but is morally treasonable to the American public.
Theodore Roosevelt, 1918

post a commentThis looks gooooood. Thanks for sharing the link & clip.
One point from Moyers is that Abramoff is not the end of the problem. There are 65 lobbyists for every congressman. The dirty money is out of control.
I'm going to save watching it until I have time to really listen. Thank you so much for making it available. From what I am getting from your comments, we have a ant hill of crooks in DC.
Patricia, if you thought you were pissed off before, wait until you watch this.
Thanks for posting this info. I'm almost afraid to watch it, truthfully, given how depressing it is.
GRRRRR! There has been so much corruption yet the Mark Foler story is what has gotten the most attention. I guess only sex scandals wake up the apathetic.
Gracie, you gotta watch this one.
They need a little sex tied into this though. That's really the only thing that keeps the public focused.
Now if someone can find a photo of Mark Foley and Abramoff.
Oh the visuals alone of Foley and Abramoff together are enough to make me physically ill. Yikes!
I will watch it tonight when all is quiet. The Taliban is the perfect example of what happens to a society when all rights are stripped from women. Between that and their religious dogma, I can't think of a group any more frightening. Of course we do have our own brand in this country but at least we're not burning witches at the stake as of yet.
Yet...........
