I agree, politics in the US is a lost cause. We are mistaken if we think for one second that whoever we vote into office will serve the people and not just spend his term paying back various lobbyist groups and large corporations for their campaign contributions.
However, we might as well face it, here in the US we have a two party system. The only thing is I would much rather have a moderate in office, than a facist. The truth is Bush is destroying our country by running us into massive debt and stripping away all our civil rights at the same time.
On top of that he's furthering the implementation of a policy of racism and colonialism into our foreign policy, which we already have a long history of doing, add to that the push by the Bush administration to incorporate Christianity into our government and the rest of American society. The power Bush has over all of us is scarry.
We need to rid the government of all the religious fundamentalist and facist, that currently are running our country, if the only way to accomplish that is to vote for a democrat, then so be it.
So? Many of those policies of losing our rights and dragging the country in senseless wars was started by Clinton. And do I even need to mention the history of Democrats? Vietnam alone is a fairly devastating example, but that would just be getting started. Bush isn't much different than Woodrow Wilson or Harry Truman. [/b]
Very true,
and I'm not trying to come off as an advocate for the Democrats, however we might as well face it, in the US we have to select the lesser-evil. I would hope that most of America has learned that everyone of these wars or military operations these politicians keep dragging us into are pure bull-shit. However there are still millions of fools who fall for the government's propaganda, who are lining up, waving their flags are voicing the absurd notion that we keep going to war for "security"
I for one, will continue to protest the unecessary attacks by our country on other nations as I have in the past, we actually need to make our selves heard. As far as both parties being too conservative I agree, however one would have to be disallusioned to believe that we will ever have a president that is neither Democrat or Republican.
