5. We have to have a Democrat as president just to have a Constitution?
And that Democrat dare not be a true advocate of the People against "organized money" (as FDR put it*), but has to please the Corporate Masters with "win/win" talk, or he or she will soon be, a) shackled with wild frenzies of frivolous corporate media generated 'scandals,' or b) dead.

The political spectrum has been narrowed to: fascism vs. nicer fascism. Those are our choices. How to rebuild democracy from the ground up is our historic task. Step one: Throw Diebold, ES&S and all election theft machines into 'Boston Harbor.' (--can only be done at the local/state level, where ordinary people still have some influence--Congress will never do it.) We MIGHT be able to elect a "win/win" Democrat (Obama) by terrifying the Corporate Masters with our sheer numbers (outvoting the machines on the bet that they won't outright reverse a presidential election again--it's too risky to the machines--don't feel that threatened by Obama, and will let us play at democracy for four years while they finish looting us and putting us in our place as just another slave labor force in their world, and then move on to looting China and India, after they've destroyed democracy in South America and regained control of that oil). So-o-o-o, if that's how it's going to be, go back to Step One--priority for an Obama administration is to throw Diebold, ES&S and all election theft machines into 'Boston Harbor' while we have the chance, and start electing REAL, FDR, "New Deal" Democrats, in REAL elections, to reassert our sovereignty as a people, over the global corporate predators who now rule over us but have no country--no loyalty, no patriotism, no boundaries.
