Well said. But the sad fact is that come election day - be it this years
elections or the elections in 2008 and beyond - the sheeple here in
these United States will just go to the polls and re-elect the same
tired old purveyors of the failed establishment - or if feeling really
*bold* vote in the purveyors of the previous tired old establishment
which is still tired and failed. People don't have the guts to - heaven
forbid - go into that election booth and vote for someone else - be it
the Libertarian, the Green, the Communist or what ever. We see it in
Massachusetts (the kennedy klan), Chicago (right, Brent?), FL and TX
(the Bush Bozos) and all over.
People bitch about the Dems and the Repubs, yet every 4 years what do we
get? A Repub or Dem president eventhough there are usually at least 3 or
4 other candidates on the ballots. We keep reelecting the same tired old
failures to the Congress every 2 or 6 years. And untill We The Sheeple
wake up and start voting for third party or independant candidates, we
will get more of the same old, same old. IOW, we get the government we
deserve.
