When I wrote that the Dems and the Reps are in collusion, I didn't mean that they together call the shots. No, they're in collusion in that they're both puppets of the same corporate powers. Any differences between them are relatively cosmetic. Both are fiananced by the same beasts, both are for more war, more bailouts of the wealthy, no impeachments of Bush administration offcials, and no recriminations for those who aided and abetted various infringements on our rights or for those who made out like successful Fort Knox robbers at increasing rates for decades now.
The corruption has now acheived such obscene levels as to make Obama's mild remedies nothing more than band-aids applied to severed limbs. Obviously to me, he's merely the smiling mask to mollify the now enraged and awakening masses. It's good cop Obama sent to calm you down now that bad cop Bush/Cheney has robbed and raped your entire family and gotten clean away.
You can fall for it if you like. I almost did.
I'm listening to tonight's Presidential debate as I type. If McCain says "my friends" one more time, my TV may end up in the street.
Damn it! He just said it again!!
