Subject: RE: BS: Groan...another US Presidential election
You may suggest whatever you like, Ebbie. I'm merely stating an opinion, and I see no need to insult whoever disagrees with me about it.

SINSULL - I don't know who will be "selected" next. How would I know? I'm not among those privileged elites who make that decision. If I were, I'd certainly not have drawn attention to what they do by posting about it here, would I?

If I were to make a guess at this point, I'd say it's most likely Obama who will be elected next November...but it's probably still too early to tell for sure which way the corporate wind will decide to blow. And why should the corporates and banksters worry? They control both the major parties in the USA (just like they do all the major parties in Canada and the UK, by the way), so no matter which "selectee" gets officially elected...he will be their man (or woman, as the case may be), he will do what they want, and the agenda will go forward...with slight differences in outward political "style", depending on which party advances into office...but very little significant difference in actual content.

It's like a championship football game. The 2 teams look different...they say they are different...they even believe they are different...and the divided public believes it too, and cheers wildly for one or the other, and hates the visiting team...but all you get in the end is another damned football game, no matter who wins it. And the Football League (the rich owners) pockets the rewards.

Unlike football, though, it only happens every four years (with an exhibition game at the 2-year halftime). Oh, and it's a lot more dangerous a game than football. People get killed. Lots of people. Most of them are in other countries where they dress funny, don't speak English as their first language, and aren't Baptists.
