Politicians aren't mushrooms. They're the spores gathered and scattered by windbags so that the others, of which we are fortunate to be among, can continue to believe we have a choice far larger than it actually is.mishkabearhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10773879552377804898noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16632334.post-19116261364148842212008-02-04T15:17:00.000-08:002008-02-04T15:17:00.000-08:00"When millions of dollars are required to even run..."When millions of dollars are required to even run for office you're going to get candidates who are groomed and coached to keep those donations coming in. Before the "internets" it was easy to say one thing in one town and another in a different town. Now we get their bought and paid for sales pitches in real time.<BR/>Nd no matter who the candidate is, they're not talking to us when they speak. They're talking to the big bucks donors who pay them to spread their message. Who gives Hillary money to say Cuba is bad? Who gives Huckabee money to promote one religion over any other? Who gave Bush money to lie us into war with Iraq?<BR/>It's always the money talking and never the candidate. So when you vote, you're essentially voting for one set of lobbyists over another...or sadly, the same lobbyists who have a horse in all the races.<BR/>All the quacking on tv, the papers, and even most of the blogs are to delude us into thinking we have a choice, because we're so easy to get emotionally stirred up in one direction or another."<BR/><BR/>Brilliant.<BR/><BR/>I keep finding that real thought is put into the smaller blogs' posts - as the A-list blogs are bought and paid for by the same interests that "sponsor" the politicians.<BR/><BR/>There are some issues that the A-list blogs will not touch, and if you dare post a diary about them will be called names, etc.<BR/><BR/>Example: Daily Kos now and their view to not allowing any "conspiracy theories" dealing with Diebold machines' facts.AmericanGoyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00865892490752172185noreply@blogger.com
