ELECTION DAY MORNING...
Breaking News, this just in: The elections are already over, we lost again.
We lost the same way we always do. We lost in the Spring when the media steered the herd away from the candidates the rich and powerful (who own the media),
don't want.
How do they do it? Well, in 08 the Democrats limited the honorable Dennis Kucinich to 4 minutes in the debates, while giving bombers Hillary and Obama 43 minutes, (of war talk).
So what does the herd do? Ignores Kucinich, and has a big debate about which identically war and miltiaty appropriations voting candidate, Hillary or Obama, will represent them better.
This year it was Ron Paul the rich and powerful didn't want, so how did they get the herd to ignore Paul?
The Daily Show did a comedy skit on it, (though the joke's on us).(There's a brief ad before Jon Stewart's skit).
Once again the people are left to decide which representative of the rich and powerful will represent them best, (hint, the answer is neither).
What a coincidence, it's always two bombers running, the so called "lesser evil" choice again...and I wonder how many in the herd even stop to wonder how it happened again, (if we repeatedly fail to nominate someone who will represent us in the primaries, we will repeatedly be left with no good choice in November...just the way the rich like it).
Many people will go out today and do their best to decide which coprorate bastard will represent them the least worse...while they inadvertantly vote for baby killing by drone, banker bailouts, deepening joblessness through WTO and NAFTA outsourcing, Internet lockdown, arrest and hold indefinately without charges or access to a lawyer, and several effective methods of transferring the little remaining financial resources we have to the rich.
Four more years.
Some voters already
do know they are voting for killings of our troops and innocent families abroad...they probably figure they're gonna get health insurance or something. I'm not so sure that's a good trade, bombing babies with Hellfire missles from Predator and Reaper drones to get health insurance, but that's my opinion, maybe it's worth it.
I'm voting Libertarian today, I don't want to vote for bombing babies, that's mean.

PS. Watch out for the lame duck congress, how much you wanna bet that just before Thanksgiving (when they know the herd is distracted with their turkeys), that they ram through 5 more years of arrest without charges and lock down the Internet.
