One stable; two horse race

As mindless Americans obsess over the STAGED race for the presidency they tend to overlook the simple fact that a two party system that requires hundreds of millions of dollars to function is the farthest thing from democratic process imaginable! A definition may be required for the Paris Hiltons of this world: DEMOCRACY is simply MAJORITY RULE via representative government – I lament the number of times this simple definition must be repeated!

Republican Colin Powell endorses Democrat Obama

Consider the closed shop of the American elections, the obscene amounts of money required to run for the presidency and the identities of those who supply the funds! The mega-rich, Transnationals, vested interests, and other well-heeled organizations supply the required money – CONDITIONALLY! Politicians are bought and must conform to the ‘requirements’ of the vested interests otherwise THEY DO NOT RECEIVE FUNDS, which effectively puts them out of contention.

In effect, the US is a ‘Corporatocracy!’ Minority, elitist rule, in other words. However, the dumb fuck American, SLAVE population laps up the hype believing their vote really makes a difference – the price of ignorance is servitude!

Neither the black ‘deceiver and sell-out,’ Obama, nor white ‘bomb, bomb,’ McCain qualifies as independent or representative of the masses but we do note the intentional contrast between the two contenders to give an appearance of ‘difference’.

The forces that now own the elections – the people forfeited their liberties and democracy decades past -- have become so arrogant they no longer feel the need to disguise the singular apparatus behind both ‘contenders.’

Colin Powell, known Republican rightist and military man has come out in support of Democrat, ‘Liberal,’ Obama – and you thought the GOP and Dems differed! But don’t forget YOUR vote really makes a difference; you dumb, gutless, American fucks! You no longer see the nose on your servile faces.

We leave you to your well-deserved fate, you mindless morons! Palin for president, yay!
