It doesn't matter who wins, and it doesn't matter who loses the horserace. Either way, global corporate capitalists will be in the White House and in control of Congress.


I consider this statement a profundly apathetic one. In addition, you are dealing with voting for hypotheticals -- Nader -- on principal. Well, good on ya. But in doing so you are declining an oppportunity to influence real events.

I agree with you, believe it or not, that gloabal corporate forces are a serious risk if they are allowed to run rampant in the WHite House as they do now. I do not share your belief that Kerry will bring some dark bond into the WHite House by means iof which he will be controlled by global corporations.

The fact that they contribute to campaigns does not mean that the campaign's candidate is beholden. In Bush's case he has demonstrated his carnal alliance with the company men, as has the Veep.

KErry's position will be better. How much remains to be seen. Stand back and let the boy run, goddamit!! :D
