“I think this is a poll on who gets the most press coverage.”

I think you hit the 20-penny-nail with the framing hammer. :o)

Yes they were called the “American Liberty League” and they had a failed coup “The Business Plot” to remove FDR. Thanks to Smedley Butler, a patriot, the American Liberty League was unsuccessful!
These wealthy industrialist feared FDR’s policies to no end and wanted him gone. The same wealthy industrialist made millions as a result of WWII, and propelled America into world leadership. “The Iraqi Oil Plan,” initiated by the current “soft like fascist trash” in the White House is a throwback to the “1933 Business Plot,” seldom if ever taught in America’s history classes.

Given the transfer of wealth needed to address healthcare, energy and education, this is a repeat in history. Corporations tax exempt or for profit now control our government, lock ,stock and barrel via PAC, tax exempt also, and will do anything to maintain power, including commandeering the US military,predicated on fabrications, at taxpayer’s expense and American blood, to keep their “cash cows” like cigarettes and our energy needs, lining their pockets, just like a “King and his corporate cohorts in colonial crime did to the American colonist.

Jefferson Quote:
“I believe that banking institutions are more dangerous to our liberties than standing armies. If the American people ever allow private banks to control the issue of their currency, first by inflation, then by deflation, the banks and corporations that will grow up around [the banks] will deprive the people of all property until their children wake-up homeless on the continent their fathers conquered. The issuing power should be taken from the banks and restored to the people.

In reply to AstralTechnician:

I got this from the Jeremy Scahill interview transcript by Bill Moyers. I can’t do links (sorry). I think it supports the Clintons as Republican theme.

But let’s, lets remember here we’re talking about Blackwater right now because we have a Republican administration. For so many years, we had a Republican dominated Congress. Blackwater is certainly the beneficiary of the Republican monopoly in government. But this system has been bi-partisan for a very long time.

When Hillary Clinton’s husband was in the White House, he was an aggressive supporter of the privatization of the war machine. Bill Clinton used mercenary forces in the Balkans. Who do we think gave Dick Cheney’s company all of those contracts during the Nineties? We talk about Halliburton. It was Clinton. It was the Clinton administration. And and, Blackwater may be an extraordinary Republican company. But they’re gonna be around when there’s a Democrat in office.

Yea, that’s Camp Bondsteel which was supposed to be a temporary base, that just happens to be located along a major pipeline which was negotiated by Jim Baker — yea, that Jim Baker, i.e. the Bush family consigliere

And, two things most people don’t know about is that the Rendition program we’re all now familiar with was put into place by Bill under PDD 39 (google it). And that Gitmo was built under Bill’s administration
