Reply #51: Of course they don't like the liberal base

we mess up their agenda. I've been observing politics over many years and have reluctantly come to realize that whoever is pulling the strings for the governments in most of the world with a few notable exceptions, is also controlling the agenda of both parties. So unless the people wake up and take back their parties and governments, nothing will ever actually change. The way it stands now, with these so-called frontrunners, if the dems should actually "win" they'll make a few quick cosmetic alterations to a few things that don't really affect the agenda, but the march towards what the string pullers want will continue on schedule.

So my prediction is that if Hillary, Obama, or Edwards become the next president that warring will continue, the patriot act will stand, the bankruptcy bill will remain unchanged, nafta, cafta, the spp and outsourcing will continue without interruption. There will be lots of talk about health care but no changes of any substance, especially changes that cut in to the profits of the HMO's and pharmaceutical corporations.

I have to believe that for the good of the world none of these figureheads will win.
