40. So, you are willing to endorse
Ongoing brutality and death in Iraq, the ongoing erosion of our civil liberties, the ever widening chasm between the rich and the rest of us, the continual hemmoraging of well paying jobs due to "free" trade, and even more tax cuts for the few, all in order to oust a man whose only real differences with Kerry are matters of degree, not substance. Sounds to me like you're simply adding more fuel to the flames friend, not putting the fire out.

Gee, we will replace the neo-cons with the neo-libs, PNAC with PPI, Skull and Bones with, well, Skull and Bones, one millionaire with another millionaire.

The only solution is to get corporate influence out of our government, and this means only electing people who do not take corporate cash. For once you take corporate money, you have to dance the corporate tune, no matter which party you belong to. If you don't take corporate cash, then the only people you are beholden to are your constituents. That is how Democracy should work, not the two party/same corporate master system that we have today. It isn't a coincidence that the phrase is "voting for the lesser of two evils", for both ARE ultimately evil, despite there being individuals who are good in both major parties. I am tired of dealing with evil, greater or lesser, and the only path they can lead us on is a treachorous one. I would rather work for good, for a real change in this country.

But hey, the choice is up to you. You can continue to vote for the "lesser of two evils" and watch this country go down the tubes, or you can work for a real change, putting government of the people, by the people and for the people back into the hands of the people. The choice is yours friend, choose wisely.
