    Im voting for the fool

    The most important thing is the economy and running the economy. The second most important is relations with other countries, especially those nearby. The thought of starting a war halfway around the world should be complete anathema. In a just world, the perpetrators of the mortgage crisis would be candidates for lethal injection even more so than your worst murderer, but instead they move onward and upward, or at least sideways. An economy which favors the rich gradually or not so gradually becomes like a third-world country and here in America we have the additional advantage of all the Mexicans and other immigrants to show us how its done. But I certainly blame them less than the upper class, also known as the Republicans, which rather likes having an endless supply of servants and nothing really to worry about, and who may be on their way to yet another victory. Why people constantly go on supporting the rich and all their aggrandizing is beyond me, yet we’ve seen it twice in a row here. The first one was a fluke. The second one was 9/11. This one it’s the black fool against the wizened veteran. I’ll say right now I’m voting for the fool. The Republicans basically always ruin the country because of their insane greed. It’s seen over and over. It’s seen right now. Unless we’ve just been Diebolded, it will be hard to tolerate seeing it again.
