Reply #79: If we have to fight it, is it still OUR government?

[pokercat999]

This is and has been, a government of "international" corporations and the ultra rich. I have two fears, one, the election will be stolen again, two, even if the votes are counted and Obama wins he won't have the strength to take power away from the corporations. I don't think there's enough honest (for the people, not corporations) Democrats in congress to help him. Even Joe Biden is famously in the pocket of the banking industry.

I'll be in Las Vegas on election day so I've already voted (absentee) for Obama/Biden and both democrats down stream in Virginia. It was touch screen so I can only hope the votes were counted as placed but I don't have any real confidence in my vote and only weak confidence at best in my candidates. I will still be apprehensive if Obama wins, less so than if Mc Same stole the election but apprehensive best describes my feelings about the US Government at this stage of my life.

I really think the neocon KKKarl Rove "republicans" are truly anti-American, the trouble is what to do about them. It would be easy to say they should be removed or eliminated but we know that is not an answer and it too is anti-American. What really needs to happen is to educate our fellow Americans to our true history and get them to realize the "American Way" has never existed, unless genocide and slavery are the "American Way". We need them to respect science and provable facts not fantasy from religious books. We need to pound home the notion that extraordinary claims need extraordinary PROOF. We need to understand what Samuel Clements said "Faith is what you call it when you know what you believe isn't true" (paraphrased).

I guess I'm in a mood, in that I realize that change comes slowly and we've gone so far in the wrong direction and moved back onto the course America has always set, that "American Way" of old.

I'd wish everyone good luck but I don't believe in luck.......if life was a poker game I guess the best I can say is that I hope life's variation from the expected falls in your favor.
