9. The duping always comes after the vote.

Sun Mar 31, 2013, 07:41 PM

Mar 2013

We had two choices...one that said some of what we wanted to here and the other one that said exactly what we did not want to hear...the choice is easy in those cases...
But now Obama is and has nominated the ones that got us in the mess in the government and telling us we need to look forward, while nothing really has changed all that much...none of the ones that got us here have ever been held accountable...and it looks like they never will be...cause everything is "going forward"

The privatization of government is continuing along just nicely...schools, prisons, the military, they will own it all soon enough, and this little political thing will be moot...and entertaining enough to keep us busy fighting over this and that while they stick that big red white and blue dick our our ass.

If we ever do wise up, it will probably be too late to save democracy...the best we can hope for is our souls.
