12. There is no difference!

On substantive issues, anyway.

The Democratic and Republican wings of the Corporate Party work together -- the good cop and the bad cop.

To hope that the Democratic wing will, somehow, bring its Republican brethren to justice is just a naive pipe-dream.

This will be a whitewash -- like the Warren Commission, the 9/11 Commission, the Hutton inquiry Report, etc., etc., etc., ...

Bush's protest is just for show ... enjoy the show!
