On Fixing Elections and Joining Democrats Anonymous

In Illinois Barack is showing a saccarine-idealistic commercial of his speech at the Democratic Convention orating how “there’s not two Americas – not a black America and a white America, not an hispanic America and a white America, not a rich America and a poor, not an upper class America and lower class America, but one America indivisible which ‘pledges allegiance together under the stars and stripes.’” It makes it truly apparent he’s more of the same, part of the Democratic machine.
Nader didn’t make the ballot in Illinois. Jesse Jackson Jr., my representative is nothing to get excited about. All these Democrats are shoo-ins in Illinois. I’m staying home on election day. Does that constitute a protest? I’ve been voting since 1978, and I’ve never voted for the major party candidate for president. This election I won’t even have the solace of voting for the likes of Ed Browne.
“But the United States has had many more ‘foreign fighters’ at their side than do the Iraqi insurgents”—the brazenness of the hypocrisy, here as everywhere else, is astonishing.
Thanks Bill for sharing your unique vision and opinions.
