11/09/2007: "No candidates represent American middle class"

As I travel around the country, my feeling about the lack of true candidates is validated by those I talk with: They are not excited about the candidates seeking their party's nomination. The Democratic and Republican Parties have become merely opposite wings of the same bird, and it's the American people who are getting the bird as our elected officials serve their corporate masters and the special interest groups that dominate both parties.

Has anything really changed since the Democrats took office after the 2006 midterm elections? Has this Congress passed any real legislation aimed at helping this nation's middle class versus corporate America and the wealthiest among us?

[ Congress is busy going after file-sharers, Nazis, beaters of the elderly, and kids who bring violent drawings to school. In short, they win by doing nothing. The voters let them. Time after time. ]

Both our parties are dedicated to supporting themselves and their fellow affluent fucks, feeding the scumbags floating just above our society's sewer level in hopes of garnering their unintelligent votes. Those in the middle fund the whole affair, frequently expressing dissatisfaction but unwilling to rebel as that would risk injury, imprisonment, or even death, not to mention a loss of comfort, Television and Internet porn.
