People are completely onto the fact that politics is now completely rigged. With complete ownership of the media and the TWO parties, the elites are demonstrating that they intend to dismantle democracy in this country. The GOP reality-TV primary contest is part of the plan to totally discredit the process of democracy. They are just laughing at us.
Meanwhile, the so-called Democrat can't do enough for Wall St, for the military, against medical marijuana. Nobody believes in politics anymore. It makes much more sense to believe in good cop/bad cop or "meet the new boss, same as the old boss". Its all about hiding raw power behind a smokescreen.
As I have said before, the GOP is the gun which the elites hold to our head so we vote for Democrats who STILL give them all of our money and power LEGALLY. The elites know that if the GOP tried to do this in their thuggish way, the country would explode. But, when you put the Democrats in charge, people are confused as to why the cops beat protesters and the President says little and does nothing. People are confused why the DOJ prosecutes legal marijuana clinics but has not prosecuted, or even seriously investigated, massive Wall St. fraud. Instead, they have tried to cram a MERS settlement down our throats. People are confused why the President stuffed the Catfood Commission full of evil bastards, why he keeps saying we should "reform" the unbroken Social Security system.
So you keep up with the scare tactics. It doesn't bother me at all. It gives me a chance to show people just how little difference there is between the GOP thugs and the corporate Dem weasels.
