Reply #21: 16 years of global corporate predators is enough! [View All]

The Clintons/DLC started it, with NAFTA. They are as much responsible for the vast loss of jobs as Bush is.

Hillary is just too tainted with it. That, and her vote in favor of Bush's horrible war, will haunt her to the end of her days.

We need somebody to clean house. We need somebody with a BIG BROOM. That's not her.

There are very few people I like right now. Howard Dean (still). Paul Hackett (go, Paul!). Barbara Boxer! John Conyers! Maybe Clark. Clark/Hackett, not bad. Boxer/Hackett, even better.

I wish Dean wasn't diddling around with what order the primaries should be in (another thread), and was seeing to fundamentals, like Bushite electronic voting companies counting all the votes with secret, proprietary software. If Diebold, ES&S and Sequoia are still at it, in '08--and people haven't thrown their election theft machines into 'Boston Harbor' by then--you can be sure it will be Hillary, and that means Jeb "wins." Or, worse, Hillary gets stuck with trying to clean up Bush's disasters, fails, and then Jeb "wins." Democracy over.

I can't imagine the American people ever voting for a Bush again, but then, it won't be a vote so much as a declaration by all the news monopolies that "we know who the president is, but don't ask us how we know--it just is." Kind of like 2004. And if the numbers don't add up, they "adjust" them, right there on our TV screens, to make it seem like they do.

My favorite stat: 58% of the American people opposed the Iraq was BEFORE the invasion. I'll never forget that number. Feb. '03. Across the board in all polls--before all the lies were exposed, before the full horror and costs were known. And these were news monopoly/war profiteer polls, so you know the number is even higher.

The American people weren't fooled. We were DISENFRANCHISED! And Hillary is not the answer now--but someone who can wholly RE-DIRECT this country BACK TOWARD democracy, transparent vote counts, and the progressive tradition that has made us great.

No half measures. It's time for the Second American Revolution!
