Reply #146: So, in other words, you are will to continue being a slave to corporate MSM

Allowing these corporations to guide your decision of who is to be president. Congratulations, you are part of the problem.

There is already too much corporate influence in our electoral process, and actions like yours only extend that influence. Do you realize what interests these handful of corporations really have. Let's see, the NBC network is controlled by GE, you know, that corporation who brings good things to war. Fox, well do we really need to go there? Vivendi, ooo let's privatize everything, including water(ask Atlanta how that worked out). CBS, sister company to Westinghouse(whose brand is still licensed out for profit), a company that continues to make military gear. Do you get the picture now? Do you understand? You are allowing people and entities whose basic beliefs are utterly opposed to yours guide your electoral decision. How fucked up is that?

The only way that we're going to have a real voice in this country is if we start using it. One way in which you and I can use it is to press for publicly funded elections. Biden brought that up last night, Kucinich is for it also. Yet this is heresy to corporate America, and one key difference between the corporate, so called "top tier" candidates and people like Kucinich. They realize the problem, and they have no strings holding them back from solving it. Let me know when Hillary starts pushing PFEs so I can be appropriately shocked.

You say you want the system to change, then by God, be that change that you envision. Jesus H. Christ on a pogo stick, if Kucinich had a vote for every person who's said that they like everything he says but fear he's unelectable, the man would be in office today. You can't wait on change friend, you have to go out and be that change, live that change, each and every single day. Start doing that and you will start seeing change happening.

Hell, this is the primaries here, you are supposed to vote your conscience. Why not try doing that instead of letting a corporate MSM, whose best interests certainly don't coincide with yours, make the decision for you? Sorry, but such a self defeating action simply isn't logical.

Oh, I really don't want to go into this all again here, but Nader didn't cost Gore a damn thing in '00. If you don't believe me, go look up the DLC magazine Blueprint, the Jan 23, 2001 edition, and see what Al From has to say. It is online. Also read Greg Palast's "Best Democracy Money Can Buy," just to see how Gore shot himself in the foot time and again, including pissing off almost 600,000 registered Dems or self described liberals in Florida to the point that they voted for Bush. Hint, it has to do with offshore drilling.
