Re: Obama
said by SLD  :Funny how so many people bought the story that Obama was driven mostly by individual contributions. I'm glad he beat McCain, but it'll come out that he is a corporate toadie just like the rest of them. If you want a pol not tied to corporate money, you'd better find another party. Strike that, another country. Strike that ... you won't find one.

Glad to know you're one of the 600k people who voted for an asshat like Nader, who just can't keep his yapper shut:

You could Wikipedia the term to understand it a bit.
I know you're from good 'ole Tennessee, but remember, just because FOX says it doesn't make it true.
Nader speaks in terms of consumerism vs. corporate power. He is a minority Arab-American. He as protected all of us with his work and saved thousands of lives in the process. Just because Shepard Smith and some blondie GOP "newscaster" misunderstand his statements doesn't make them incorrect. |

If you voted for Nader, you effectively voted for Bush. Pleased with yourself? |

And if you sell your vote to the least worse candidate, you just sold yourself short. |

The only reason third party votes are throwaway votes is because everyone thinks they're throwaway votes. It's self fulfilling, and only true because it is throught to be true.
The Democrats and Republicans are the same party, they went to the same schools and were in the same fraternities. They only differ on a very few unimportant things such as Gay Marriage and Abortion, but are arm in arm when it comes to all the important things such as pandering to corporate fat cats and keeping wars going. |
