Obama is Doing Many of the Things Bush Did...

20. I'm astonished that anyone would ever have thought anything different

It doesn't matter whether an R or D gets elected, every single one of them is beholden to the mega corporate money that bought them their seat. That's how politics works in this country and how it has worked for longer than any of us have been alive. Since Dems used to get most of their money from unions it used to beholden them (ie: us working stiffs), but since Reagan killed the unions instead of the Dem party figuring out another way to get their campaign dollars they just threw in the towel and went for the easy big business money... meaning that they OF COURSE had to dance with them who brought them... or more accurately - bought them.

The big R vs. D rah rah game got so ridiculously out of control (perfect example is this website since it's mostly what we do here) precisely when the Dems threw in that towel, and was purposely designed by the politicians and other powers that be to distract people from realizing that either party has any ideology at all, and just dance with them that brought (bought) them. And they all laugh all the way to the crooked banks absolved from their sins of insider trading that would land anyone else in jail and broke.

Until we get private money out of politics nothing is going to change, and us regular folk will just keep going further down the shitter until we're nothing more than starving unwashed dregs. At least I'll be dead before then.
