pre-approved corporate candidates. The two candidates have committed to doing the bidding of the corporations in all matters that concern them and are left to do "as they please" on moral issues. The game is controlled by the money necessary (in amounts so large they can only be collected from corporations) to campaign nationwide and by the corporate owned media. Our vote really only counts on the "moral" issues, which are only a small portion of the issues that affect our lives.

For instance take healthcare. While some (myself included) might consider this a moral issue it is treated as a financial issue by most of the politicians and so they do the bidding of their corporate masters. How else would you explain the move from Candidate Obama's position favoring a single payer issue to Presidents Obama's position as a hands-off observer of congressional action who supports whatever kind of health INSURANCE reform they can pass?
