Reply #66: For me it'll be either Kucinich or Edwards

[leftist_not_liberal]

though I have concerns one is a new age whacko and the other a poseur who keeps company I do not approve of.

Rather than "inflammatory," how about "provocative?" I am of the opinion that the left/right dichotomy as discussed in this nation is not a dichotomy at all but rather is a side show of consumer choice "issues" about things like fags and fetuses while the cancer of capitalism is sold by all. Thus, I do not see liberalism as real leftism. Left v. Right is an economic argument; the rest is divide and conquer bullshit served up by the ruling class and its wholly owned media. Further, I really don't think Hillary or even Bill Clinton even qualify as liberals, not any more than LIEberman...

I think it is offensive that we have a corporate duopoly that does not give a good goddamn about their people relative to their millionaire friends and corporate masters. For instance, last night's and today's news cycle has been about the 'settlement' by the crime syndicate called Merck which knowingly killed people for profit. What about a fucking death penalty for corporations and not for people? You'll never hear that discussed in polite circles, but willful institutional murder is glossed over in the lala land that passes for media and corporate justice. Meanwhile people are starving. The reality demands more than feel good rhetoric from pandering selfish politicians. You'll note Obama has already shown his fealty to the our little client state in the middle east, his hawkishness on the non-threat that is Iran (a regime in place one hundred percent because of vicious American imperialism) and who has become a millionaire in the last two years.

No one with a million dollar net worth should be allowed to participate in governance (as they by definition are NOT a representative vox populi) and no one should be in office more than a, oh say, a decade. Millionaire careerism passing for democracy does make me sick. So shoot me. What can I say but what I believe to be the truth?
