[lbo-talk] Keith Olbermann calls on Mayor Quan to resign

[Wojtek S]

I knew that.  Actually, what I wanted to say is that contrary to my
previously expressed view on this forum, this was the proverbial straw
that finally convinced me that Democrats suck big time.  They are
basically a "human face" of the business party that sells snake oil of
soothing words but then bites when their business masters errr...
campaigns contributors  tell them to.  I am pretty sure that her views
are pretty liberal but it does not really matter when the local
business leaders pick up the phone and tell these so-called "elected
representatives" to restore business as usual if they want see
campaign money coming.

I do not think that there is any venue for the "99%" to be heard other
than massive civil disobedience.  The US is "democracy" is a ruse.

Long time Alameda Pol Don Perata (a former majority leader in the State Senate)  beat her with first choice votes but she prevailed with the second and third choice votes were tallied. (She was the second and third choice of the majority) Quan is to the left of Perata and is generally classifiable by the label "progressive," as are nearly all Oakland cily Pols.  She had a long history on the Oakland City School Board. SR
