If you lined up all the presidential candidates...?

...Democrats and Republicans, which of them would not take their marching orders from their corporate masters?

And which of them would challenge the military war machine?

Be honest. How many will stand up to the challenge?

Bernie and Rand Paul for sure because they have both said so, maybe O'Malley and Biden.

Biden maybe because of his and his wife's devotion to wounded veterans....

But once in office, his father would be pulling the strings and most of his time would be spent investigating UFOs and vetoing all new laws.

Instead of only feeling truly human when they are standing with them. The only people who truly want corporate & military masters are those who support them.
For them, taking orders is a good thing, if not necessary, thing. They would feel far more comfortable if we would follow orders as complicit as they just as we find more comfort in self determination and democracy.
