So you think you're going to change things?

by Leon Fisher, Unknown News      Oct. 30, 2006

Prior to the invasion of Iraq and shortly thereafter, a number of large anti war demonstrations took place in Washington DC. Despite the fact that large numbers of citizens rallied to protest the war, with an estimated 200,000 protesters at one demonstration alone, only a handful of politicians showed up to address the protest.

We must ask ourselves, what is the point of voting for and electing individuals to represent us when they choose to blatantly ignore almost a quarter million of their constituents massed within sight and earshot of their offices?

And now, a mere few years later, the same Washington politicians who ignored the will of the people then, are once again asking for our votes. I say fuck them!

The duplicitous bootlicking cowards deserve to go down with the ship along with their war criminal masters in the White House. Remember, the majority of the members of Congress who are up for election are the same spineless jellyfish who voted for and supported the illegal and unjustified aggression against Iraq. That's right my friends, the same miserable collection of empty suits who enthusiastically parrot the lies and distortions of the truth as scripted by the Bush Junta. The same folks who, to the detriment of the American people, rubber stamp every draconian piece of legislation Bush and Cheney put before them.

And let me remind you brothers and sisters that these are the same turncoats who shamelessly swear their allegiance to the Zionist criminals in Tel Aviv, giving billions of American taxpayer dollars to finance Israeli military aggression, genocide, and ethnic cleansing, while ignoring the needs of the American people and the Constitution they have sworn to uphold.

Now that things are going badly for the Bush Regime, a lot of the ass kissers, mostly Democrats, are jumping ship. It wasn't too long ago these chickenhawks were talking tough about the war, and standing in solidarity with Bush. Ah, how things have changed. Now they say they oppose the war and want to pull the troops out of Iraq.

Where were they in 2003 and 2004 when the big anti war demonstrations were taking place? They did not need the anti war crowd then, but they need them now to get elected, and believe me, that's the only reason.

We have to understand who these people are and what their game is, and it certainly is not representing us. They are very much aware that being a Congressman or a Senator can be a very lucrative position financially. They are in a position to pull strings, and the special interest groups and powerful lobbies pay well.

Most of our elected representatives are already millionaires. They will do anything if the price is right, including selling out our economy and using our military as mercenaries. Nothing is below these unethical bastards.

They could care less about the bloodshed in Afghanistan and Iraq, and would keep the goddamned war going forever if the polls were favorable. What matters to them is their hold on political power, and the perks which come along with it.

When was the last time you were inspired by the leadership of any of our elected leaders? Just take a look at these parasites, standing in front of the flag in their designer suits and expensive toupees, telling us we have to tighten our belts. Do we need to vote these criminals back into office to continue ripping us off? I say no!

We need a change in the way politics is conducted in this country and neither the Democrats or Republicans are capable of change. Therefore, we must stop playing their game, otherwise they will just keep screwing us.

I ask you, are things going to get better after this next election? Will the Democrats, despite what they are saying, immediately put an end to the war and pull the troops out of Iraq? Will the Democrats reverse the failed policy of free trade and bring good paying jobs back to America? Are the Democrats going to cut our taxes? Will they throw out the PATRIOT Act, and the Military Commission Act as un-Constitutional? Will the Democrats rid America of the de facto dictatorship which presently occupies the White House?

No, they will not! Like always, they will talk the talk, but they won't walk the walk.

My Friends, both major political parties are no longer interested in doing the business of the people, therefore the people should not support them. Power to the people, boycott the vote Nov 7th!
