Why I Cannot Vote for Dean, Kucinich, or Nader (Robert Cohen) [View All]

Why I Cannot Vote for Dean, Kucinich, or Nader
by Robert Cohen — Mon Dec 22, 2003

Howard Dean is a good man, filled with fire and brimstone.
I supported his candidacy when I was in high school in
1968. Only then, his name was McGovern. His name was
McCarthy. His name was Shirley Chisholm. I was not very
practical then. I was a politically naive, idealistic teen
who wanted to help change the world.

Ralph Nader talks a good talk, showing up once every four years.
He hangs around long enough to make some incredibly clever
statements, raising substantial funds, then buries his head
beneath the Cheops, under deep sands deposited by the Nihilism
river until the following presidential cycle.

Dennis Kucinich has a vision that would make him the perfect
president of Middle Earth, in the sequel to Return of the King.
With Gandalf as his chief of staff, perhaps he'd appoint Hobbits
to run things at the Pentagon. The other magnificent seven
Democrats are not even worth mentioning. I'd sooner be elected
as head of Land O'Lakes Butter than the odds that any of those
pretenders be elected president of these United States.

Not any of the above has even one nanogram's chance in a kilo
of defeating the George Bush war machine. What have we become,
sacrificing good wisdom and logic, to imagine that nickels
and dimes can defeat the Republican Party's $100 million war
chest?

There is but one lone Democrat with any possibility of
defeating the Bushmeister, and she has not entered the fray.
Pity. George Bush is bad for your health.

The Republican Party has more than just sold out to
pharmaceutical companies. They have merged with
Monsatan so that the needs of the White House and the
policies of biotechnology and genetically engineered food
companies have become identical. Their visions are one and
the same. Public health be damned. The health of the bottom
line of drug companies is a top priority in our new America.

Monsanto's ex-attorney (Clarence Thomas) sat on the Supreme
Court and cast the deciding vote three years ago. Payback
is, as some would say, a fitch. Slippery as a polecat?
Evidence of the Monsanto connection to the Bush White House:

Every nation on planet earth with one exception, gives
its consumers the right to know if packages of processed
foods contain genetically engineered organisms. How can
it be that in the land of the so-called free, America
has become that one exception? Each day, more and more
evidence is found attesting to the adverse threats from
consuming genetically engineered foods. Yet, Monsanto is
protected.

On Friday, December 19, 2003, Monsanto began the largest
cover-up in their history. After a serious manufacturing
error of their bovine growth hormone, Monsanto will be
calling in every political favor that they can to insure
that the truth not be told. Am I at risk for attempting to
do so? I do not give a damn. Your health is at stake,
and your interests have been sold out. If you are foolish
enough to continue to eat dairy products, let this event
be motivation for you to immediately desist. Do not eat
any dairy product until you are assured that this possible
genetically engineered freak of nature has not entered
your food supply.

Get rid of that administration which continues to
bend over backwards to protect the world's most dangerous
and powerful criminals. Their actions have made your food
supply a potential weapon of mass destruction.

What else can you do? There's a primary coming to a state
near you. Waste your vote on Dennis the Menace, Howard
the Duck, or Ralph Kramden, and you continue your
comic-book fantasy existence of delusion and illusion.
Write in H. Clinton. Write letters to the editor. Spread
the message. Urge Hilary to run. Your vote is too important
to waste. Only one individual can beat George Bush. She has
the stature and brains to lead. She's been in the White House
before, and things were never better for America. During
those Clinton years, other nations loved America. American
people still had inalienable rights. The economy was strong.
Our children had a future free of fear.

Today, Big Brother watches over America, and I am not
comforted by what we have become. Only one person has
a chance of defeating the Monsanto presidency, which
grows stronger with power and connections and influence.
Her name is Hilary Clinton. If she does not run, I will
write in her name, hoping that we make it until 2008.
