A few seats change hands every now and then. Repubs get the White House for a few years and move the country toward
One World Corporate Fascism, then it rotates to the Dems who move the country toward
One World Corporate fascism. The illusion of
elections are mintained. The LAST THING the people who run this country want are free elections. When its time for a particular politician to "Lose" their seat, they are guaranteed a higher paying job with the Defense Industry or a "Lobbying" firm with LIFETIOME perks. Who is going to mess with THAT system?
The SILENCE from the Democratic Party on this issue is DAMNING!!!Who loses?
The American People!
In recent polls by the Pew Research Group, the Opinion Research Corporation, the Wall Street Journal, and CBS News, the American majority has made clear how it feels. Look at how the majority feels about some of the issues that you'd think would be gospel to a real Democratic party:
1. 65 percent (of
ALL Americans, Democrats AND Republicans)
say the government should guarantee health insurance for everyone -- even if it means raising taxes.
2. 86 percent favor raising the minimum wage (including 79 percent of selfdescribed "social conservatives").
3. 60 percent favor repealing either all of Bush's tax cuts or at least those cuts that went to the rich.
4. 66 percent would reduce the deficit not by cutting domestic spending but by reducing Pentagon spending or raising taxes.
5. 77 percent believe the country should do "whatever it takes" to protect the environment.
6. 87 percent think big oil corporations are gouging consumers, and 80 percent (including 76 percent of Republicans) would support a windfall profits tax on the oil giants if the revenues went for more research on alternative fuels.
7. 69 percent agree that corporate offshoring of jobs is bad for the U.S. economy (78 percent of "disaffected" voters think this), and only 22% believe offshoring is good because "it keeps costs down."http://alternet.org/wiretap/29788/ADDED:
8. Over 60% oppose the War on the Iraqi People.
9.
92% support TRANSPARENT, VERIFIABLE elections! The Democratic Party is a BIG TENT, but there is NO ROOM for those
who advance the agenda of THE RICH (Corporate Owners) at the EXPENSE of LABOR and the POOR.
