Why on earth do we focus on the three candidates that will absolutely not change anything

[Flabbergasted]

in terms of foreign policy and corporate control, the two areas needed to be changed.

Why on earth are these people running two years from the presidency?

Why the hell can't we make decisions not based on corporate and foreign control?

Why can't we actually focus on the tasks at hand instead of focusing on 08 political games?

Why can't we see that the outer personality of politicians is not the inner personality of politicians?

Why can't we see that there is a fundamental paradigm difference between the "educated" and masses?

Why do we set our standards so low?

Why can't we just choose our own candidate?

Why can't we perceive that we know virtually nothing of what is happening in the world?



A broken people always follow the path laid before them....

1. I can answer one of em

They are running early to suck up more money.

[Flabbergasted]

This is such a mother fucking joke. No offense.

3. Because, you see,

The powers that be
Want you and want me
To follow along
singing their song--
They will select
Whom we may elect.

4. A neighbor of mine believes that Howell Heflin was the answer to

all our national problems.

I am not myself a Howell Heflin fan, may he rest in peace.

But she is.

Do NOT attempt to tell her of the virtues of anyone else in the party. Of any party. At any time in our country's history. She is not interested. She might even throw a kettle at you. She's never thrown one at me, but neither has she listened to my praise of other Democrats.

For her there is only one Democrat. Howell Heflin.

And that's all there is to it.

6. Could a Youngster like me ask an old foggie like you "who is that"?

10. Howell Heflin was the long-time Democratic Senator from Alabama.

5. Why not?

War is much better waged by a Democratic President.

8. I have NO IDEA...except that "Pundits Say" the rest aren't "electible."

:shrug: So, we are to accept the TOP THREE that the MEDIA/PUNDITS/THINK TANKS have Chosen for us.

Makes no sense...but then...what DOES THESE DAYS?

[Flabbergasted]

9. What makes sense is actually opening up the forum to expanding consciousness
