Speaking just like an American Republican, the Communist Chinese-appointed leader of Hong Kong, Leung Chun-ying, said last week that if the state granted democratic rights to its poor and working class, they could dominate elections and choose leaders who would meet their needs.
If Hong Kong's 99 percenters picked their leaders, Mr. Leung said, "Then you would end up with that kind of politics and policies." To ensure politics and policies favoring Hong Kong's one percent, Mr. Leung insists that a committee appointed in Beijing approve all candidates to succeed him.
Mr. Leung fears rule by the majority - just as U.S. Republicans do. It's the reason the GOP has launched a massive voter suppression campaign across the country. Republicans believe in rule by and for the one percent. To accomplish that, they must do what Mr. Leung and the Chinese Communist party did: foil democracy. That's the GOP goal when it subverts America's precious one person-one vote equality. Every American who holds democracy dear must do whatever it takes to defy GOP attempts to deny them access to the ballot next week.
Protesters demanding democracy in Hong Kong have thronged streets and faced down baton-wielding police for three weeks. Mr. Leung's anti-democracy remarks further inflamed the demonstrators who live in a state with among the highest income inequality in the world. Mr. Leung said he could not allow the state's majority - workers and the poor - to choose nominees because then those candidates would address the demands of the majority.
"If it's entirely a numbers game and numeric representation," Mr. Leung said, "then obviously you (candidates) would be talking to half of the people of Hong Kong who earn less than $1,800 a month."
That is exactly who Republicans don't want to talk to - America's middle class and working poor. The GOP presidential candidate, quarter-billionaire Mitt Romney, said that it was his "job not to worry about those people" who are elderly or too poor to pay federal income taxes. To make sure Republicans can focus on the rich and forget the rest, they've passed a multitude of laws to stop the working poor, seniors, people of color, women and students from voting. The intent is to prevent them from choosing who will run the government that, in a democracy, is supposed to represent them.
The Brennan Center for Justice calculated that if all the suppression laws passed by nearly two dozen states in the past five years took effect, 5 million citizens would confront new obstacles to exercising their right to vote. The laws would likely deny suffrage altogether to some citizens, such as those lacking birth certificates because they were born at home.
In addition to demanding specific ID, some states restricted early voting, ended same-day registration, purged voter rolls, and failed to process tens of thousands of registration forms collected by groups encouraging low-income and minority citizens to vote. The American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU), the NAACP and other voting rights groups challenged these schemes in court.
In recent weeks, the U.S. Supreme Court, dominated by Republicans, issued preliminary rulings approving voter suppression in three states for the Nov. 4 balloting.
In a fourth, Wisconsin, the court temporarily barred the voter ID mandate. The Supremes will hear the case later and may allow the state to demand specific identification. That would be ID requirements that Federal Judge Lynn Adelman determined could disenfranchise 300,000 Wisconsin voters, particularly poor and minority citizens, because they lack the requisite documents.
Judge Adelman, who ruled the law unconstitutional, concluded that in Wisconsin, there were no cases of the in-person voter fraud that Republicans claim the law is intended to prevent.
Texas was among the three states that Republicans on the Supreme Court granted permission to begin demanding specific voter identification. The court ignored the fact that Texas passed the law within hours after the Republican Supremes gutted the Voting Rights Act.
The court ignored the fact that the trial judge in that case, Nelva Gonzales Ramos, calculated that it could disenfranchise 600,000 voters, particularly black and Hispanic Texans. These are citizens who don't have a gun permit or driver's license allowed as voter identification by the law, but who do possess other ID, such as student cards, forbidden by the law.
The court ignored the fact that Judge Ramos found only two cases of in-person voter fraud out of 20 million ballots cast in Texas over 10 years.
Consider what red, white and blue-wearing, flag-waving, democracy-praising Republicans have said about their voter suppression campaigns.
Georgia state Rep. Fran Millar complained about a decision to allow Sunday voting in a location near a mall that, as he described it, "is dominated by African American shoppers and it is near several large African American mega churches such as New Birth Missionary Baptist."
When accused of racism, he said, "I would prefer more educated voters than a greater increase in the number of voters."
In other words, he only wants some people to vote, not all people.
That's not democracy.
In Ohio, where Republicans tried to allow GOP-dominated counties to add hours for early voting but deny it in Democratic areas, Doug Priesse, the chairman of the Republican Party in Franklin County, where Columbus is located, said it was fine to make voting more difficult for black citizens:
"I guess I really feel we shouldn't contort the voting process to accommodate the urban - read African-American - voter-turnout machine."
That's not democracy.
In Pennsylvania, the Republican House Majority Leader Mike Turzai shepherded voter ID through the legislature in 2012, then announced to a GOP gathering: "Voter ID, which is going to allow Governor Romney to win the state of Pennsylvania: done." In other words, the law would stop voting by the working poor, minorities, student and others who tend to vote for Democrats.
That's not democracy.
The ACLU got an injunction to stop the Pennsylvania ID law. President Obama won the state. And the state Supreme Court later ruled the law unconstitutional.
The rich are represented in government, and as a result, highly profitable oil companies get tax breaks. Wall Street gets bailouts. And one percenters get tax deductions for yachts. By contrast, no one bailed out underwater homeowners. Twenty-four states refused to expand Medicaid to millions of working poor citizens. And the federal minimum wage hasn't been raised in five years.
In a democracy, there's nothing more important to securing representation in government than the vote. Don't let Republicans take it from you.

5 Facts About How America Is Rigged for a Massive Wealth Transfer to the Rich
"Karolina Dean...Where the HELL is my monkey?" <platniumtangent@gmail.com>: Nov 05 12:41AM -0800
And the GOP puppets that'll keep it going...
A recent posting detailed how upper middle class Americans are rapidly losing ground to the one-percenters who averaged $5 million in wealth gains over just three years. It also noted that the global 1% has increased their wealth from $100 trillion to $127 trillion in just three years.
The information came from the Credit Suisse 2014 Global Wealth Databook (GWD), which goes on to reveal much more about the disappearing middle class.
1. Each Year Since the Recession, America's Richest 1% Have Made More Than the Cost of All U.S. Social Programs
In effect, a reverse transfer from the poor to the rich. Even as conservatives blame Social Security for being too costly.
Much of the 1% wealth just sits there, accumulating more wealth. The numbers are nearly unfathomable. Depending on the estimate, the 1% took in anywhere from $2.3 trillion to $5.7 trillion per year. (All numeric analysis is detailed here.)
Even the smaller estimate of $2.3 trillion per year is more than the budget for Social Security ($860 billion), Medicare ($524 billion), Medicaid ($304 billion), and the entire safety net ($286 billion for SNAP, WIC [Women, Infants, Children], Child Nutrition, Earned Income Tax Credit, Supplemental Security Income, Temporary Assistance for Needy Families, and Housing).
2. Almost None of the New 1% Wealth Led To Innovation and Jobs
In 2005, for every $1 of financial wealth there was 66 cents of non-financial (home) wealth. Ten years later, for every $1 of financial wealth there was just 43 cents of non-financial (home) wealth.
What happens to all this financial wealth?
Over 90% of the assets owned by millionaires are held in low-risk investments (bonds and cash), the stock market, and real estate. Business startup costs made up less than 1% of the investments of high net worth individuals in North America in 2011. A recent study found that less than 1 percent of all entrepreneurs came from very rich or very poor backgrounds. They come from the middle class.
On the corporate side, stock buybacks are employed to enrich executives rather than to invest in new technologies. In 1981, major corporations were spending less than 3 percent of their combined net income on buybacks, but in recent years they've been spending up to 95 percent of their profits on buybacks and dividends.
3. Just 47 Wealthy Americans Own More Than Half of the U.S. Population
Oxfam reported that just 85 people own as much as half the world. Here in the U.S., with nearly a third of the world's wealth, just 47 individuals own more than all 160 million people (about 60 million households) below the median wealth level of about $53,000.
4. The Upper Middle Class of America Owns a Smaller Percentage of Wealth Than the Corresponding Groups in All Major Nations Except Russia and Indonesia.
The upper middle class in the U.S., defined as everyone in the top half below the richest 20%, owns 11.9 percent of the wealth. Indonesia at 10.5 percent and Russia at 7.5 percent are worse off, but in all other nations the corresponding upper middle classes own 12 to 27 percent of the wealth.
America's bottom half compares even less favorably to the world: dead last, with just 1.3 percent of national wealth. Only Russia comes close to that dismal share, at 1.9 percent. The bottom half in all other nations own 2.6 to 10.2 percent of the wealth.
5. Ten Percent of the World's Total Wealth Was Taken by the Global 1% in the Past Three Years
As in the U.S., the middle class is disappearing at the global level. An incredible one of every ten dollars of global wealth was transferred to the elite 1% in just three years. A level of inequality deemed unsustainable three years ago has gotten even worse.
Solution: A Financial Transaction Tax (FTT)
More appropriately called a Financial Speculation Tax, it would help to limit the speculative trading that contributed to the financial meltdown in 2008.
The FTT has extraordinary revenue-generating potential, on a global scale. The Bank for International Settlements reported in 2008 that annual trading in derivatives had surpassed $1.14 quadrillion. Just one-tenth of one percent of that is a trillion dollars.
It's also a fair tax. While average Americans pay up to a 10% sales tax on shoes for the kids, millionaire investors pay a zero sales tax on financial purchases. They pay just a .00002% SEC fee (2 cents for every thousand dollars) for a financial instrument.
In addition, the FTT is easy to administer and difficult to evade. Clearing houses already review all trades, and serve as collection agencies for transaction fees.
And as evidence of its suitability, three of the top five countries on the Heritage Foundation's Index of Economic Freedom are Singapore, Hong Kong, and Switzerland, all of whom have FTTs.
People in the U.S. and around the world are being rapidly divided into two classes, the well-to-do and the lower-income majority. This severing of society will change only when progressive thinkers (and doers) agree on a single, manageable solution that will stop the easy flow of wealth to the privileged few.

GOP Extremists Consolidate Power In Congress and Across America
"Karolina Dean...Where the HELL is my monkey?" <platniumtangent@gmail.com>: Nov 05 12:39AM -0800
Republicans across the country largely reasserted the historic pattern that the political party that does not hold the White House wins big in non-presidential election years
The politics of anti-government rage, fueled by dark money negative ads emerged victorious on Tuesday, as the Republican Party won a U.S. Senate majority and re-elected right-wing governors despite Democrat and progressive organizations determined efforts to turn out their base.
While there were some bright spots for progressives, such as minimum wage increases passing in Nebraska and Arkansas, and legalizing recreational marijuana in Oregon and in Washington DC, the national political landscape has taken a hard turn to the right. Differing Republican Party factions have been empowered in ways that will resonate well into the 2016 presidential election--from anti-regulatory corporatists taking control in Congress to union-bashing, anti-choice, anti-voting rights governors dominating their states.
The GOP Senate victory had been predicted by many national political experts, however the losses in governors' races were surprising because many of the extremist incumbents faced very tough challenges, such as in Florida, Wisconsin, Kansas and Maine, where they had deep records of policy failures, from tax cuts creating deficits, to gutted school spending, to shredded safety nets, as well as attacks on voting rights and organized labor.
The Republican victors quickly took to the airwaves and proclaimed that the country was heading in the wrong direction under President Obama and a Democratic-controlled U.S. Senate, and pledged to rectify those mistakes--although most of their campaigns never precisely stated how or what they would do differently, except to dismantle Obamacare.
In his victory remarks, Kentucky Sen. Mitch McConnell, who will be Senate Majority Leader, said he had an obligation to work with the President. What that really means is an open question, because many Republicans who are newly elected to the Senate made lots of extreme statements in their primaries--such as Iowa Senator-elect Joni Ernst calling for President Obama's impeachment, privatizing Social Security and fetal personhood rights--before tacking to center to reposition themselves for the fall election.
Part of that tact to the middle in congressional races came after the nation's top corporate lobby, the U.S. Chamber of Commerce, aggressively spent millions to defeat Tea Partiers in Republican primaries, saying they wanted a Congress that would be better-behaved--meaning it would do its bidding. One victorious U.S. House candidates was Virginia's Barbara Comstock, who was a notorious opposition researcher for Republicans and then a lobbyists for a long list of corporate clients, including Koch Industries.
Nationally, Republican candidates campaigned more against the White House than what they wanted to get done. Many Republican lawmakers interviewed on various networks tried to strike an optimistic note, saying they want to accomplish things. Yet they ran on dismantling Obamacare bit by bit, such as repealing a medical device tax that funds it, increasing the numbers of hours worked per week to be eligible for coverage, and repealing the law's requirement that all Americans have a health care plan.
"They [voters] want change," South Dakota's Senator-elect Mike Round, its ex-governor, told NPR. "They want to see Obamacare repealed on a section by section basis... They want to see the Keystone XL Pipeline built... They want to see the Environmental Protection Agency brought under control; the best example is their new carbon tax... There are lot of issues out here that people see that they want us to do; a lot of it has to do with the bureaucracy being out of control."
In coming weeks, you can expect the White House and its short-lived Democratic Senate to approve federal judicial nominees, a new U.S. Attorney General and other policies--possibly including immigration reforms by executive order--that would go nowhere once the GOP takes power in 2015. One astute commentator said the upcoming congressional session will be like a game of political chicken, where bills are passed and sent to the White House as tests to see what Obama will veto, or come back to negotiate.
A Republican Night, A Historic Pattern
Republicans across the country largely reasserted the historic pattern that the political party that does not hold the White House wins big in non-presidential election years.
In the Senate races, Republicans knew before midnight Eastern time that McConnell would be the new Senate Majority and a host of combative governors, including some likely 2016 presidential candidates, had been re-elected. Republicans needed to pick up six seats to gain the Senate majority, and saw successive victories unfold in Kentucky, West Virginia, Arkansas, South Dakota, Montana, Colorado, North Carolina and Iowa.
Election Night unfolded slowly with few early surprises. The GOP's first big win was McConnell defeating Democrat Alison Grimes. The next three Republican pickups came quickly, with West Virginia's Shelly Moore Capito, Arkansas' Tom Cotton, and South Dakota's Mike Rounds all winning seats previously held by Democrats. Only Cotton defeated an incumbent, Arkansas Democrat David Pryor. The rest were open seats.
In early evening governor race results, Pennsylvania's Republican Gov. Tom Corbett lost to Democrat Tom Wolf. Corbett was elected in 2010's Tea Party wave and quickly made major cuts to corporate taxes and public school budgets, following a template also used by other rightwing governors who faced tight races this year. He was behind in polls, so that outcome was not unsurprising.
Louisiana Democrat Mary Landrieu, another Democratic senator seen as endangered, was spared early in the evening as no candidate in her race got more than 50 percent. She will be in a runoff against Republican Bill Cassady to be held in early January. Shortly after that, the Republicans picked up a fourth seat, with Montana's Mike Daines winning the seat that was left open after Sen. Max Baucus resigned to become U.S. Ambassador to China. In that race, the Democrat appointed to fill Baucus' seat, John Walsh, withdrew after being exposed by the New York Timesin a plagiarism scandal.
The fifth Republican Senate pickup was Colorado's Cory Gardner, a strident rightwing congressman who tacked to the middle and defeated the Democratic incumbent, Sen. Mark Udall. Gardner's victory is seen as typifying the Republican strategy for 2014, where the party's corporate wing opposed Tea Partiers in the primaries. Gardner, who was elected to the House as a Tea Partier, backed away from prior pro-life positions, saying that he now would support over-the-counter contraception and oppose fetal personhood rights.
In Georgia, Democrat Michelle Nunn conceded to supporters just after the 11 P.M. news on the East Coast, leaving that seat in Republican hands.
The sixth Senate seat to be picked up by Republicans was in South Carolina, where at about 11:30 P.M. the media announced returns showed that the Democratic incumbent, Sen. Kay Hagan, had been beaten by the state's Republican Speaker of The House, Thom Tillus. A few minutes later, Iowa Republican Joni Ernst was declared the winner in that state's contest to fill the seat left open by Sen. Tom Harkin's retirement. That was the seventh Senate seat to shift from Democratic to Republican hands.
Exit Polls Showed Democrats Effort
The nationwide Election Day exit polls, conducted by a media consortium, is the most comprehensive poll taken in the entire campaign. Various news outlets publish excerpts from the poll to boost their coverage, which begins to explain in more detail what was driving voters.
In sum, Democrats did motivate their base to come out and vote, compared to the last federal midterm election in 2010. Excerpts on the New York Times website showed that many more Democrats turned out, with more women, people age 30-44, poor people, and college graduates voting. NPR's commentators said that the same exit polls found only one-third of voters said that they were voting against President Obama, while 62 percent said that politicians favor the wealthy.
But, obviously, it wasn't enough. For example, NPR noted that while 10 percent more women turned out and voted for Democrats, 20 percent more men turned out and voted for Republicans.

Thank God I live in Oregon
"Karolina Dean...Where the HELL is my monkey?" <platniumtangent@gmail.com>: Nov 05 12:33AM -0800
They won the Senate, but it's possible they've won enough rope to hang themselves with. HAHAHAHAHA
-----
I will never get why non-rich people vote for the party of rich people aka the Republican Party. Their "platform" was "we are not Obama" and "we have plans to do stuff but nothing specific but probably involves tax cuts for rich people and stuff like that."
But then again when the party you are against are the massive, ginormous wimps of the Democratic Party, having no plan is plan enough. Instead of spending the election bragging to everyone about their successes (and even making them up like the GOP is fond of doing) and the things they want to do if given a chance, all of them ran on the platform of "I am not Obama either" and "we have plans to do stuff but nothing specific".
By every economic measure (admittedly that mostly rich people care about) the economy is doing outstanding. The stock market keeps reaching new heights and does the ever growing wealth of the 1%...just those successes have not gone past the upper class (and now most definitely will not if the Rich Party has anything to do about it). The GOP spent the last 4 years doing nothing and getting nothing done and their reward for choosing to not govern - here control it all now! Its going to be a disaster of incompetence but that is ok, they have the perfect escape goat - Obama.
And when the GOP brings the pain to woman, minorities, and the young - I do not want to hear it. Many of those elections were decided by a tiny enough group of voters that if those groups of voters had shown up to vote in 2010 and in 2014, the country wouldn't be in the mess its been in and will continue to be in as the GOP spends the next 2 years trying keep their promises for the hundreds of millions they got from the rich and mega corporations to do their bidding while making new promises for the same when they (likely) win the presidency too in 2016.
=====
So...two more years of political gridlock, just pointed in a "Gets vetoed by president" way instead of the "Blows up in the Senate" way.
Obama's gonna love either a) vetoing bills endorsed by the Tea Party or b) endorsing bills that get killed by the Tea Party.
So it's either Mitch Mc Connell or Ted Cruz for Senate majority leader. Thank God I live in Oregon, I think I'll just get so fucking high for the next two years I won't care which of them walks out of the Thunderdome.
------
For the past six years, I thought Republicans could not possibly have made their violent disdain for anyone but rich white men any more clear.
And yet, here we are. What more could they do to prove themselves a hate group?
I guess now we get to find out just how bad they're prepared to make it for everyone but themselves.
--------
I look forward to learning how reducing taxes and regulations will cause businesses to magically decide to hire surplus workers, rather than simply pocketing the difference. The commercial geniuses of this country have figured out that a tough labor market keeps costs to a minimum, and that's the key to nice, job-preserving steady profit. Until there's a major increase in demand to jolt employers into increasing capacity, we aren't going to see an across-the-board good economy for a very long time. Anyone care for a nice total war?

Republicans Outspend Democrats in Most Expensive Midterms Ever
"Karolina Dean...Where the HELL is my monkey?" <platniumtangent@gmail.com>: Nov 04 11:59PM -0800
All this just to cater to the 1%...And also to run out the clock before whites become a minority....GOP plans to turn this country into a third world situation before retiring to theri rich lobbyist jobs as reward
Source: Newsweek
Nearly $4 billion will have been spent on this year's midterm elections, a staggering figure that makes them the most expensive midterm elections in U.S. history, and $333 million more than the 2010 midterms. The Center for Responsive Politics (CRP) estimates the candidates and parties will have spent around $2.7 billion, while outside groups funding candidates will likely spend $900 million, a total of $3.67 billion.
Republican candidates and right-leaning outside groups will have spent more money than Democrats and liberal-leaning groups, at $1.92 billion for the GOP compared to the Democrats' $1.76 billion, CRP predicts. But despite the billions spent to woo voters, midterms have a historically low voter turnout compared to presidential elections. The Pew Research Center predicts it will be no different this year, with less than half of eligible voters likely to get to the polls.
The 2010 Citizens United ruling, the Supreme Court decision that paved the way for corporations to donate unrestricted funding to candidates, has had a profound effect on the huge sums spent on elections and is "directly traceable" to the spike in spending, Lawrence Norden, a deputy director for New York University's Brennan Center for Justice, told ABC News. Both Super PACS and more elusive "dark money" groups, which are classified as non-profit organizations and don't have to send their donor lists to the Federal Election Commission (FEC), have benefited from Citizens United. This year, dark money groups have spent $200 million in 11 of the most competitive Senate races, nearly double the amount they forked out in 2012, ABC News reports.

The most money spent on a low turnout President lame duck midterm. I can only imagine how much money will be funneled into the 2016 elections. If you counted Fox News as a 24/7 in kind contribution to the GOP, it will easily be in the billions.

Not only that, there's this: as Trijcomm pointed out (broken clock, twice a day...) at that Erick Erickson article, people like Erickson are annoyed that there's not more emphasis on the Big Conservative issues. That is because they know it DOESN'T SELL. We needed the Akins and Mourdocks and O'Donnells and Palins to step up their game and they failed. Everybody's a "moderate" now, and it was a smart strategy.
But now, they have to placate the rabid red meat eaters. The fundamentalists, the libertarians, the anti-government types -- they're ALL going to claim credit for this and they're all going to demand Mitch McConnell and John Boehner bend to their will (Even though Boehner has already told them to fuck off more than once.)
