We stumbled across an hip and happening political web site today –
www.37reasons.com .
That would be as in – 37 reasons to vote for big business politicians.
This web site is so hip that it talks in riddles.
So, what is this web site all about?
“The reasons are being communicated. We expect you will make the appropriate decisions based upon their power of reason. You only have a limited amount of time to comply.”
Why are there 37 reasons?
“Action must be taken on or before the reasons expire. Your service and duty must be fulfilled by November 7, 2006. Your local authorities will be (sic) direct you to the appropriate location to complete your task before that time.”
Who is running this site?
“We are all part of the reasons and the reasons are part of everyone. The powers not delegated by the site are reserved to the people.”
Being part of “the people,” we decided to follow up on the question – who is running this site?
And it turns out that it is not being run by and for the people – it’s being run by and for the corporations.
Big corporations.
The web site itself doesn’t tell us this.
It’s all a big riddle.
But the first clue comes from the reasons themselves – only four of the 37 appear today.
Number 37 – Stopping Environmental Zealots – who are trying to strengthen the Clean Air Act.
Number 36 – Keeping Grandma Alive – thank you for Medicare Part D.
Number 35 – Harnessing American Energy – let’s drill in Alaska and off the coasts.
Number 34 – Stopping the Taxes Beyond the Grave – “If you have a small business, handing it down to your heirs intact is virtually impossible, due to this dreaded ‘Death Tax.’”
Get it?
It doesn’t take a genius to figure this one out – vote for big business – primarily Republicans, but big business Democrats like Joseph Lieberman will do.
