Re: Friday Open Thread (now with poll) (none / 0)

Have to disagree with you a bit. It's not over until the votes are counted and the networks project Obama the winner. It certainly looks like he's going to win (and win big), but we've got a long way to go.

Re: Just repeating myself (none / 0)

If the ultra-wealthy want this election, just let a terrorist attack hit within the US in the next 2 weeks. If they want to dump this sack of shit on Obama/Dems (quite likely), let the Dems have their day, the world goes to hell, starting with food riots, and we will be SAVED by the Repubs; "Remember when we HAD gasoline and food during those great days with Bush, who wasn't appreciated?".

The ultra-wealthy hold all the cards; the rest of this bullshit is just ... bullshit.

In the end, might makes right. Nothing has changed since the caveman.
