Politicians, like Barak Obama, will tell us what we want to hear and make strong statements to get elected. Once elected(or nominated), all bets are off and they immediately turn on us in favor of their corporate masters. If there is no way for us to recall them and put someone else in office, then there is no incentive for them to tell the truth and deliver on their campaign promises. Until the people can can control their representatives with immediate action, this country will decline into 3rd world status. All politicians are criminals. We know that. Unless we have a way to kick them out of office mid term, we will be subjected to torture, rendition and the destruction of the rule of law and the constitution. The odds on politicians giving the people a mechinism to hold them accountable is astronomic. Never gonna happen. Nothing will ever change.
But seriously, this is insignificant compared to the 3 point shot in Kuwait and his flag pin. Why can't you people write about what we want to read? Like what kind of underwear he wears or if he uses a blade or electric? Give us information we can actually use.
Is that Obama give a blanket pardon for all crimes committed against the United States by Republicans and Democrats in Congress and the Bush administration. Once that is done, and facism is firmly entrenched, the revolution can begin. Only then can America be restored to the rule of law. Besides, Hillary is married to Bill. Get a divorce, Hill, then we'll talk.
Seeing that China is eating our lunch on everything from slavery to government spying, we'd better get on the stick. I'm writing my Senators now to urge them to turn all these detention centers here in Texas into work houses for Nike. Just think, we can make shoes here in America with slave labor and save all the shipping money we spend shipping them from China! It's perfect. Go McCain!!!
Flight 242 to Paraguay will be boarding shortly. Please have your boarding passes out and ready for inspection. Would passengers Myers and Bolton please come to the service desk. Passengers Myers and Bolton, please come to the service desk. Thank you for flying Paraguay Air.
That the suspect is dead. I would be shocked, shocked I tell you, to find out that the CIA asked this 'patriot' to assist his country by providing anthrax to an agent for 'analysis'. This government is our enemy. Obama can't change that and McCain doesn't want to. Look for my new book 'Living Large in a Facist Country'. It explains how to capitalize on corporate control of government. Trust me, you'll need to know.
that this tactic will work. Obama is ALREADY on the ropes and declining daily. These attacks will intensify in their dishonesty and their frequency. While the CPM roars and discusses, the message will get out and become conventional wisdom. Obama will actually become what McCain wishes him to be. And that will swing the election(along with voter disenfranchisment, voter caging, and rigged voting machines) to McCain. The writing is on the wall. The American people can only absorb so much truth. After they hear the accusations for weeks on end, they will succumb and McCain will be crowned our next Unitary Executive Long May He Reign.
We all know you'll be swooning in Denver when 'Your Bill' speaks. And you know what Joan, he'll be speaking just to you. Better have smelling salts. We all know how you get around a Clinton. Maybe if you just crawled up his ass he wouldn't notice and you could be with him always.
for HILLARY!! HILLARY, HILLARY, HILLARY!!!! And BILL!!!! BILL, BILL, BILL!!!! Just like you Joan.
The Bitch lost. That's all I care about. Even though it looks like Obama will be just as big a liar, cheat and theif as Billary, I'm just glad she and her 'husband' have been taken down a notch or two. If it were up to me, Bill would have been deported along with his wife and daughter after his term was up. The Clinton's have been nothing but a disaster for this country since they were born.
McCain is beating the HELL out of Obama on everything from gas prices to the color of his momma's underpants. If you hadn't already noticed, McCain is an ex-POW war hero and Obama is a perfesser. All McCain has to do is sew just a shadow of doubt on Obama and let the people's imagination do the rest. Obama has no chance against the Rove machine. He never did. The voting machines are rigged, the votes are caged, the voters are disenfranchised. Oh, and the christanists are marching in the streets against 'The Abortionist' Barak. So all you people working hard for Obama don't be surprised when McCain wins a squeeker. The American people always get the government they deserve. Now more so than ever they deserve John McCain and his nuclear war ambitions.
Without international intervention, this country will become the Germany of the 21st centruy. Our militarized culture that glorifies the murder of innocent civilians will secure permanant war in the next administration. The arms dealers and various other corporations that profit off of mass murder will rule congress and the presidency no matter who is elected. Hopefully, some day the nations of the earth will band together to destroy the perverted American war machine and bring peace to this planet. I can only hope that I will live to see that day.
