72. You've hit the nail Langtree
Sad to say, now you're going to get seriously flamed for it. It is, after all, verbotten to criticize the candidate, even though his actions, promise and policies are only slightly better than Bushco's

This is what happens when the party gets stampeded into something like ABB, a corporate DLC/DNC candidate who instead of making a real difference will only make a faux difference, and not much of one at that. This is the good cop/bad cop game the corporate masters are playing with our electoral system, and once again in our disgust with a Bush, we are going to elect somebody only slightly better(though still as pro-corporate) than him.

I urge everybody to work in bringing the two party/same corporate master system of government to an end. This can be done two ways. First, work like hell to get publicly financed elections a reality. Second, do not feed the machine and vote for a candidate who has taken corporate cash.

And don't fall for the good cop/bad cop routine. Instead of a blind rush to any ABB candidate, stop, think, and demand a candidate who is a real change.
