Re: It . Is . All . A . Fucking . Sham
This was a kick-butt thread started by Husb2Sparky on February 13, 2008. In case you missed it, or it's slipped your mind, here's a reminder. I thought this post said it all.


It . Is . All . A . Fucking . Sham

…Were it not a sham, our Congressional leaders would mount an actual opposition to the (Bush) cabal.

Were it not a sham, we'd have presidential primary candidates who we could tell apart by their policies, not their gender, skin color, oratorical prowess, or lack thereof.

Were it not a sham, we would have seen a different outcome of the debacle in Ohio in 2004, particularly in view of the debacle in Florida in 2000...

Were it not a sham, we would not be burdened by energy policy written by the robber barons of the oil companies.

Were it not a sham, we would be where the entire rest of the industrialized, fully developed world is with respect to our health care.

Every Fucking Day we see it clearer and clearer ...... It . Is . All . A . Fucking . Sham

1. Right. Don't vote. It's all pointless. If this is true why are you here?
Please stop trying to take away the enthusiasm we feel for the process

3. And now we have what looks amazingly like a mirror-image of the 1980
election, where Reagan was touted as solid gold, while the Dems put up the no-hope Mondale and Ferraro sacrifices (both of them essentially vanished from the political stage after).

A sham indeed.
