- detree, on 12/28/2007, -4/+79Sorry neocon media, Hillary and Guiliani (the Israel lobby's highest rated politicians) aren't going to win one primary state. Your future is bleak, your talking heads irrelevant, and your place in history as traitors assured.
- Tex, on 07/28/2008, -5/+70Hillary and Rudy both had the old media's blessing of "inevitability."
Granted, they're so close in ideology that they might as well be running on a joint ticket. - inactive, on 12/28/2007, -3/+50Trust no one.
- SeethisPass, on 12/28/2007, -0/+23Keyword, "seems"
- Tangeuray, on 12/28/2007, -2/+24Amen ^^^^^
- davymac, on 12/28/2007, -2/+19Extremely well written, great observations, and ya, sadly Rove is a genius... you just proved it..
- ad33lshahid, on 12/28/2007, -1/+17i hope that you are right in everything that you say. i am ready for a peaceful world at long last
- pintomp3, on 12/28/2007, -0/+14you sure seem to take a lot of pleasure in the casting aside of honest candidates in favor of corporate owned war hawks.
- Minarchian, on 12/28/2007, -3/+16They aren't?
- dmarvin811, on 12/28/2007, -7/+19This is why Ron Paul has to win!!!
- spyd3rweb, on 12/28/2007, -2/+14One way or another the CFR gets elected anyways... unless...
- jaymzdean, on 12/28/2007, -3/+14The Neocon Dems and Repubs are going DOWN.
- pintomp3, on 12/28/2007, -1/+11oh thank you corporate media. without you telling me how to vote, how would i ever decide?
- spyd3rweb, on 12/28/2007, -0/+10Pull out of Iraq and steamroll right into Iran or now Pakistan.
- banmaster, on 12/28/2007, -0/+10ESPECIALLY Family.
- inactive, on 12/28/2007, -3/+12Never really thought of it that way, but that's pretty spot on. Clinton seems a bit more prepared to leave Iraq than Rudy though, and in 2008 I think that issue is going to decide the election.
- SeethisPass, on 12/28/2007, -1/+10'Nuff said.
- ISIfunded911, on 12/28/2007, -1/+9For decades all presidents were members of the CFR, and they cared about Wall Street before caring about the American people. As a result you have ***** healh-care but corporations in charge of your health are financially healthy. And thanks to NAFTA millions of people have lost their jobs, while corporations have become richer. It is always the same with the CFR: the CEOs/CFOs of the biggest corporations are prominent members. YOU are not a member. You do not count.
Kucinich and Paul would be the first presidents not controlled by the CFR. That is why the corporate media do not want you to vote for them, do everything to make you believe they do not stand a chance. Because if for example Kucinich was elected, corporations would not rule America anymore. Your interests would come first. - popothebright, on 12/28/2007, -1/+9well.... if you ask me Obama plays the same game.
I'm a centrist, to be fair. (I'm not remotely opposed to Ron Paul because he is sufficiently anti-establishment for my tastes) and I have to say, I'm pretty unimpressed by almost every candidate out there.
Hillary is only mildly nauseating -- although I could deal with her theoretically. Obama is just a guy who hasn't sold out yet. (And good lord will he ever... just watch him closely. The man is a 'politician' to the core). Ron Paul is sadly mathematically challenged (see Meet the Press last weekend...god damn, what a let-down) which is a bad thing for a man running on an 'economics' ticket. The Republican offerings are fully grotesque. Romney is a televangelist gone mainstream. Guiliani is one big spitting, lisping special-interest. And the list goes on.... No one is impressive, worldly or smart. Not one of them. (Except Hillary -- I will give her 'worldly').
Our candidates are just not that good. And I'm talking about the lot of them.
There are no good options. Let's all start getting used to that sentiment, because it's only going to get stronger as the petty infighting begins.
We're all facing the dark reality that those that succeed in politics are just not the cream of the crop. They're not the best or the brightest. They're the weird 'political animals' that succeed in the toxic alien environment that exists inside the beltway.
They're the ones who pass through the filter. And the filter is us. All of us combined (which is a twisted, weird thing to consider).
Let's just hope that whoever wins understands one thing: That the responsibility is awesome. And it far exceeds power, money and politics.
We're talking about history, philosophy and America now.
And that could very easily go either way.... - mOdQuArK, on 12/28/2007, -1/+8You can trust the computer. The computer is your friend.
- portwojc, on 12/28/2007, -0/+6FTA: Clinton was strong and even brilliant during the debates
Should read: Clinton was strong and even brilliant during the debates, as long as she wasn't pressured. - BlacklabelSAR, on 12/28/2007, -0/+6This is why I feel that I don't fit in in America. I think critically and am sceptical of people's motives. This is why I especially don't fit into corporate environments, as I call ***** as I see it. To the corporate mindset, I have a "bad attitude".
Without critical thinking, we cannot have truly "free elections". Imagine if 2 adults were running for president of a 3rd grade class. Imagine how easily manipulated those kids would be. Look around, it shouldn't be difficult to imagine. - buckrogers1965, on 12/28/2007, -0/+6That is right, the media has to make an expectation of a favorite winning, so that even when the exit polls are off by 10 or 20 points, the media can say, but they were destined to win!
- banmaster, on 12/28/2007, -0/+6They're going down on each other. Seriously, these guys are all clones!
- WiseWeasel, on 12/28/2007, -0/+6As opposed to those shining beacons of enlightenment and evolution found in your country of choice, I'm sure. Ignorance is unfortunately not exclusive to the US, even if our media is particularly devoid of intelligence, which might give some people that impression...
- Cyberen, on 12/28/2007, -0/+6The real underdogs are the ones ignored by the media, intentionally.
And to say you're voting for so-and-so because they have a "chance" is basically giving the powers that be your obedience. - chase001, on 12/28/2007, -0/+5Hillary's inevitability is like black Friday and shopping the day after xmas - the more the complicit media says it's true the more the sheeple believe it. It's a self fulfilling prophesy.
- vuke69, on 12/28/2007, -1/+6And people on digg, I always think highly of their opinions.
- Berkana, on 12/28/2007, -3/+7I don't think this quite counts as rigging. This is strategic manipulation, but it is not illegal; it is simply brilliant campaign strategizing, though of dubious ethical standing.
- ISIfunded911, on 12/28/2007, -0/+4Kucinich would be harder to beat: his track record and proposals are exactly what a majority of Americans really want. But the mass-media give him very little time to express himself, and do their best to make people believe he can not be elected.
- rheaume, on 12/28/2007, -2/+6Rigging...
- WiseWeasel, on 12/28/2007, -0/+4But it's manipulation through supposedly trusted news media sources. If these organizations are complicit in the intricate dealings of political parties, then that raises questions regarding their trustworthiness as news sources. This exposure encourages people to shun these sources of information, and devalues their election coverage in general. People can only be played so long before they tune out completely and turn to alternative media, such as the great wealth found on the internet. Good luck getting those people back, and their numbers show no sign of slowing their upwards trend. Things are finally about to get interesting in US politics...
- chambana, on 12/28/2007, -3/+7This article simply attempts to compensate Clinton's fall as some calculated GOP hit job on her which she would love to believe and talk about. In reality, she fell because Obama was able to get the point across that what we need is not another divisive President like Bush. We need to heal; HIllary offers none of that.
- banmaster, on 12/28/2007, -3/+6Isn't that 'unAmerican' or something though? Thats what Fox News tells me...
- Elranzer, on 12/28/2007, -0/+3Trust the fungus.
- afdlips, on 12/28/2007, -5/+8I think she threatens voters with the snuke in her sniz.
- lastoftheidiots, on 12/28/2007, -3/+6@bingobongony: You forget ignorance is just about as "American" as you can get.
- ISIfunded911, on 12/28/2007, -0/+3Exactly: the future of the USA is at play exactly now, and for a few more weeks/months. The time to do very serious research about the candidates is now.
- NightVortez, on 12/28/2007, -0/+3My Companion Cube would never lie to me. Never!
- GrantRobertson, on 12/28/2007, -0/+3Never take what a politician or corporation says at face value. Always look, instead, for what they are trying to make you or the public think. Politicians don't tell you what they think. Nor do they tell you outright what they want you to think. They always carefully choose their words and actions to try to influence what you and the public think. As is evidenced here, sometimes what they say is exactly the opposite of what they want you to think.
- shawnolds, on 12/28/2007, -0/+3I could not have said it better myself! Dugg.
- PopcornDave, on 12/28/2007, -0/+3The same way they predict the weather. Throw darts at a dart board and see where it lands.
- gdaerin, on 12/28/2007, -0/+3Wow, this is a really good piece, thanks for digging!
- kreneskyp, on 12/28/2007, -0/+3neither candidate wants to leave iraq though. hillary has even said she wouldn't pull out. they might as well not even bring it up at the debates
- inactive, on 12/28/2007, -0/+3Especially Hillary
- gdaerin, on 12/28/2007, -0/+3the point was, I believe, that the neocons have touted Hillary as "ineviatable" to make her just the opposite.
- Mesmorize, on 12/28/2007, -0/+2He only has to jump 49% in the polls!
- kuzotz, on 12/28/2007, -0/+2We love ignorance. Hell mention a truth, and prepare for social ostracizing.
- j4200, on 12/28/2007, -0/+2It is inevitable -inevitable inevitable invitable-
- ladalang, on 12/28/2007, -0/+2what he said
