Bob,
I've move this OT conversation off the Boom Boom Room and brought it here because it is more apropos on this thread which discussed Republican criminals and their looting at great length, and has been seeing quite of few of them getting prison time.
As you now know, the outrageous rate spikes in the California electricity market were due to illegal and fraudulent market manipulation. The people who died because of inadequate emergency services are the victims of a vicious scheme by the Republican party to f*ck the middle class and the taxpayers of this country and fulfill the sickest of greedy desires of despicable men like Ken Lay.
That said, you stated:
It is clearly unlikely that Ray would ever see a politician as left - from his perspective.
As with every other post that you have put up on this thread, you couldn't be more wrong. Let's start to clear up any misunderstand you have about my understanding of what Left and Right are.
You should first familiarize yourself with this brilliant grid/survey and you'll find the clearest and most honest designation of Left/Right dichotomies:

You should also include Feingold, Boxer, Mikulsky, Clinton, Schurmer, Harkin, Inouye, Akaka in the Senate.
And Sanders, Blumenauer, Woolsey among others in the House.

In toto Bob, it is you who are out of touch with reality. Not me.
Bye bye.... :) |
