There's no taking sides
Contrary to what many readers think, I am not endorsing Clinton or Obama for president -- and have spared neither candidate my criticism.
By Joe Conason [2008-01-24]

  • Now That Kucinich Is Withdrawing From The Campaign

    Any former Kucinich supporters will be welcome in the campaign of the only other candidate who speaks openly and consistently on the issues, avoiding personal attacks, and staying on message with the truth:

    1) out of Iraq immediately

    2) bring the American military home

    3) adhere to the letter and intent of the Constitution

    4) no more illegal wiretapping

    5) no more torture

    6) wrest control of the money supply from the bankers and return it to the people.

    That candidate is Dr. Ron Paul.

    If you're still trying to decide between Senators Clinton and Obama, you just don't understand that these candidates have made serious ethical compromises to get the blessings of the corporate oligarchy to be anointed as "front runners". They will continue American military involvement in Iraq and elsewhere. They are as tied to sustaining and expanding the corporate-fascist American empire as George W. Bush has been. You can expect no relief from the daily barrage of lies and crimes or any significant betterment of your own quality of life or liberty under the administration of either.
