Yearly Kos Convention Rocks the Dem's Candidates - Check this Out!

OBAMA & EDWARDS QUIT LOBBYISTS' DONATIONS!

Here is some 'brass tack' talk from the Democratic candidates to the blogosphere's most loyal posters. It was filmed in Chicago during last weekend's Yearly Kos convention, sponsored by the blog most hated by Fox lover-boy Bill O'Reilly. The last segment linked below, had one telling position from Hillary, when she said she was still going to take lobbyists donations and that K Street still, "represents real Americans." She also stated that she never had been influenced by those donors. Really?

Well the "Largest Minority" moderator later digs up this post from David Sirota: "But my favorite line was when Clinton claimed, 'I don’t, I don’t think based on my 35 years in fighting for what I believe in anybody seriously believes I am going to be influenced by a lobbyist or a particular interest group.' Oh really? How about, as just one example, Clinton’s vote for the 2001 Bankruptcy Bill? You remember that bill - it was the one written by the credit card industry that allows them to jack up interest rates on low and moderate income Americans who are struggling to pay their bills. Are we really to believe that vote wasn’t 'influenced by a lobbyist or a particular interest group?' Please."

The complete line-up of other subjects are included in a round-up here. After clicking, scroll down to see the complete video line-up. If you go to the complete line-up note Kucinich's overwhelming applause approval for the impeachment of V. P. Dick Cheney in the "Foreign Policy" segment to jump to it, click here. Well it was a gathering of "progressive" bloggers, i. e. Party loyalists.

Party "realists" flip back and forth between; Clinton, Edwards and Obama, but listen carefully to Gravel and Kucinich. While listening, the reader might consider the excerpt from the recent Chomsky interview immediately below ... only Kucinich even came close. Until we really address the overwhelming fact of aggressor war crimes committed by both the Clinton and Bush regimes ... 500,000 dead kids in Iraq before Occupation and outright illegal invasion we as a nation have a long way to go. Go on, be a big person, listen\watch the debate videos above and read Chomsky's excerpt below. Excerpted for your convenience.
