Democrats Become Target of Occupy Protests

74. ONCE AGAIN, 'CHICAGO: THE MUSICAL CHAIRS'

Events like this one at Renaissance Des Moines Savory Hotel and Obama's signing of the NDAA law, prove once again why the artificial left-right divide is just another alibi for the dynasty that has ruled the country with impunity for generations. As power alternates faultlessly between Democrats and Republicans in what is clearly an inside job, ordinary people seem resigned to a lifetime of failed promises.

Watch how the same people who enthusiastically voted out the Republicans in massive numbers in 2008 were on hand to give ruling Democrats a bloody nose just two years later. To this disenfranchised lot, voting for Republicans was the only way they could punish wayward Democrats, just as courting Democrats was a whip against the then ruling Republicans in 2008. Like a spurned girl who jumps straight into bed with his ex-boyfriend’s best friend, nothing much can be read into it, except that what one man lost the other was on hand to collect.

To be clear the 2010 mid-term victory by the right wasn’t a sign that Republicans had miraculously acquired the delicate art of shepherding a fairer, more sustainable economy, or even that Democrats ever had this rare gift. Stuck between the flaming Devil and the deep blue sea, intelligent people are known to close their eyes and take the plunge. Indeed, not since the infamous Match That Never Was between blood cousins West Germany and Austria at Soccer World Cup 1982 did two teams contrive to pass the ball harmlessly between themselves in order to manufacture a dour draw that serves none but the two of them.
