Yet, despite over 80 percent of Americans saying that the nation is on the wrong track – BEFORE the current financial crisis, Americans sheepishly seem ready and willing this year to keep voting for Democrats and Republicans. If they had one shred of the smartness and courage of our nation’s Founders, they would overwhelmingly vote for third party presidential candidates to send the clearest and most patriotic message possible to the ruling class that has both major parties in their pocket.
Ousting Democrats and Republicans is more justified and needed than removing the tyranny of the King of England. Our elected domestic tyranny operating as a plutocracy masquerading as a democracy has been raping our nation. Yet middle class victims seem more than willing to keep bending over and asking for more pain and insult as they fall hook, line and sinker for the lies of both Barack Obama and John McCain.
It is far too easy, with the financial sector meltdown, for Americans to only blame Republicans. But Bill Clinton started the deregulation of the financial sector and every evil and stupid thing George W. Bush and Republicans have done could not have happened without the cooperation of corrupt and cowardly Democrats in Congress. They too have inflicted economic sodomy on us and contributed to disgracing our Constitution.
What incredible absurdity that the government seems ready to spend $700 billion to bail out countless crooked, mismanaged and greedy companies (and similar money on the Iraq war) and not ever seriously propose to spend that kind of money on rebuilding the nation’s crumbling physical infrastructure that would immediately create millions of new good paying jobs desperately needed by the middle class.
Now is the time for Americans to wake up, stand up and vote down Republicans and Democrats.

Re: Our Republic Raped, And Still No Revolution!
By pkumer, November 10, 2008 at 17:07It's a shame Americans have gone way of technology and have given up on educating themselves.
We have grown lazy when it comes to thinking for ourselves. Excellent article, but it reads like so many other anti-two party articles, which leads it becoming trite and then thrown to the wayside.
We have no right as individuals to push our ideologies onto others, but the responsibility to encourage others to think for themselves whatever "those thoughts" end up being. By pushing our beliefs on others we become no better than the establishment that we antagonize. Encourage literacy, encourage individual thought, but do not preach what to read or what to think.
Again, excellent article.
Revolution!
By johnhatch, September 27, 2008 at 15:01Great article!
I too have been frustrated by the seeming willingness of Americans to dimly accept corporate candidtaes, a hopelessly corrupt and inept Congress, a P and VP who are both psychopaths, the suspension of the Constitution, end of habeus corpus, kidnapping, torture, murder, invasions, etc.
The reaction to the financial swindle and proposed bailout has been slow in coming, but the anger is widespread and rising. It usually takes a financial kick in the ass to get Americans' distracted attention, never mind the items listed above.
It's also becoming impossible to hide the fact that the Republican (read Rove) selection of Sarah Palin ('vote for me or I'll shriek at you in tongues') Palin is an unmitigated disaster who'll have to quit and go back to Alaska to keep an eye on her family. And Russia, while she's at it. (Canada too, if she has any spare time.)
Obama should get the message, should he win (that is if George and Dick actually vacate) that conditions of evading impeachment will include bringing the criminals of the previous Administration to justice, ending all wars including covert ones, paying reparations, respecting the UN, restoring non-proliferation treaties, dissolving the predatory World Bank, slashing military spending, re-regulating Wall Street, restoring the Fairness Doctrine regarding media, breaking up media conglomerates, and getting a damn life. Enough crap!
