Karl Marx wrote a manifesto. The Unibomber wrote a manifesto. Now Dhimmicrat Congress Members write manifestos.

Instant gratification?

Were is the gratification? All they do is pump me for money every April 15th like the mafia.

So far I’ve seen nothing that indicates that this book’s author is a real Congressman rather than just someone on the outside who can see the obvious. What in this Congressman’s story is new to anyone?

From the book:

Voters are described as gullible, know-nothing jerks, while the only people who count are the big donors who pour billions of dollars into lobbying.

I have for years pointed this out. The money is making the decisions and LITERALLY causing those below millionaire level to be enslaved.

“‘We’re running a f—ing casino:’ “

I wish that were true. Casinos are highly profitable and the house usually wins.

Worth reading the entire article. See too, Congressman X Website.

Which Congressmen has Robert Atkinson been chief of staff and press secretary for?

True. I look out my window in the morning and all I see are hard working people running for the bus or subway to avoid being late for their jobs. Or delivery boys, garbage men and construction workers hard at it.

Don’t see much self-absorbtion myself. You called it correctly.

Anybody paying attention already knows this. Anybody not paying is not going to start now.

You can write all the letters you want but some DC lobbyist is going to hand your “representative” money at lunch to ignore you. Period.

Bravo. Hope it gets widespread attention.

A lot of low info voters are not stupid; they are busy from sunup to sundown. They get their news from their friends or on the fly from tv. We need them to hear this. And it had to be a Dem to say it, too.
