- It is both shocking and depressing to think that there
is still large numbers of average citizens who still naively think that
one of the political charletons now running for President will be elected
by votes cast by average citizens like themselves. How this mindset can
still prevail after years of political corruption, secret backroom deals,
voter fraud, assassinations, the outright in your face theft of the last
two Presidential elections, and the election of a rubber stamp Congress,
is unbelievable. To think that this latest election will somehow be different,
that the politicians will finally listen to the voice of the people this
time around is ludicrous to say the least.
-
- It is simply absurd to think that a few new faces in
Washington will save America from economic ruin at the hands of the Wall
St. robber- barons, restore Constitutional Government, or end American
military involvement in both Afghanistan and Iraq. This is not going to
happen as long as Corporate and Special Interest cash pours into Washington.
The winner of the election, regardless of political party, will function
as mere window dressing while the real decisions are being made behind
closed doors in Corporate boardrooms and in the Capitols of foreign governments.
-
- Candidates who express a return to a Government of the
people, such as Ron Paul, although having been able to raise large sums
of cash and grassroots support, is being minimized just like that of Ralph
Nader, who years before dared to question and critcize the status quo.
The present candidates, whether they be Democrats such as Hillary Clinton
or Obama, or Republicans like John McCain or Mitt Romney, are not participating
in a genuine election, but a charade where the outcome has already ben
decided long before the first vote is cast. If this is not the case as
some would argue, than why has Americas leadership failed to act in favor
of the people they feign to represent?
-
- The American people never voted to send their jobs overseas,
nor have they voted to allow millions of undocumented workers flood their
workplace with cheap labor, nor have the American people voted for a foreign
policy which benefits corporate profit and foreign interests over that
of the legitimate safety and welfare of the Nation. In every election for
the last thirty five years, Americans have voted for candidates who promised
to act in their behalf, but all that the American voter has gotten are
empty promises, empty pockets and a mountain of debt.
-
- The winners of these fraudulent elections are, as always,
those who can pay the most for sevices rendered by our now "selected"
leaders in Washington. Our so called representatives and their masters
on Wall St, not content with the looting and plunder of the American workplace,
are now considering passing into law even more onerous and despotic legislation
than that already on the books, that of making free thought a crime against
the State, not to protect America from terrorism, but to protect themselves
against the wrath of the people. Of course you do not hear the candidates
speaking of this pending legislation which they support and vote for, but
instead loudly pontificate about freedom and liberty instead.
-
- So this is what we get to vote for in 08, a continuation
of the outsourcing of our jobs resulting in the decline in our standard
of living, a continuous state of war, and the establishment of a police
state, American style. As for those who still believe that change is still
possible in the voting booth, please indulge your fantasy, but for the
rest of us who have come to our senses and are living in the real world,
we must no longer participate in any exercise which will give the Corporate
fascist, Wall St controlled state, any semblance of legitimacy. Do not
vote in their rigged elections, and do not invest in the legalized crime
syndicate known as the Stock Market, which as we speak, is responsible
for plunging our Nation into yet another economic depression.
