"...We are supposed to believe that if Senator McCain wins this election, we will be subject to another four years of Bush policies. I deeply believe that if we continue to support these two political parties that have worked together to eviscerate the 1st Amendment by setting up 'Free Speech Zones' for demonstrators and tasering people that ask questions of our politicians and gutting the 4th Amendment by passing the FISA law, things will indeed get worse. These are developments that happened recently, I could write pages on how our rights under the Constitution have been violated in the past decade. If we continue to support the duopoly, after all that has happened, what incentive will they have for listening to the people? They will see it as a green-light to continue their anti-democratic behavior."



"Even if McCain wins the presidency because of defections from the Democrats, once McCain realizes that it was a third party candidate that was responsible for Obama’s defeat, he must realize that the GOP will be the peoples next target. I believe that Cynthia McKinney, because of her ballot access in 40 States and possibly all 50 by the election, would be the best option. If the Democrats saw their loss as directly attributable to her, don’t you believe that the next Democratic candidate would be infinitely better than the corporate shill they are offering now?..." -- Timothy V. Gatto at LiberalPro, 8/4/08.

Personally I have my doubts about that second paragraph. Gatto maintains a steadfast faith that Democrats, decisively shown the error of their ways, will act to save their party by acting to save us. My own stance is that Democrats have zero interest in doing anything but expanding upon that corner of the trough which they have already carved out for themselves-- and beating the tar out of anyone who threatens it. Worrying about our feelings is not on their agenda, as we have long been regarded as their wholly-owned property. Since when did property have any feelings ?

But some good reading there, nonetheless. Borrowed from the feed at On The Wilder Side.
