I don't know why you've invoked Ron Paul's name in response to my post, Bobert. I endorse Kucinich's positions on this subject.

The reason people like Kucinich and Paul, who are the only candidates not bought and paid for by the corporatocracy, can't get elected, is because of the vast number of people like you who say, "I can't vote for him because he can't get elected".

It doesn't matter how eloquent and "above it all" Obama is. He represents the corporatocracy. If we want to free ourselves from corporatocracy rule, we have to take back our votes and only give them to the candidates who will work for us and not the corporatocracy. If we keep electing the representatives of the corporatocracy, we will never have a democracy, and we will never be free of being ruled by the corporatocracy. And considering the corporatocracy's long-term goals (endless war), we really can't afford to waste our votes on anyone who works for these people.
