The statement comes from the World Socialist Web Site and ends with:


"A victory for the Democrats in either or both houses of Congress would bespeak the immense popular hostility towards the policies pursued by the Bush administration. But these policies have been implemented by both parties and are an indictment of the two-party system as a whole.

Such a "victory," should it occur, will not be the result of a challenge to the Bush administration's policies of global militarism and social reaction, nor of any genuine appeal to the seething opposition to the Iraq war and the worsening conditions facing masses of working people in the US. Rather, it will register the fact that America's ruling oligarchy has determined that a partial shift in tactics and personnel is required to better pursue essentially the same agenda.

Whatever the outcome on November 7, the right-wing stance of the Democratic Party in this election campaign has laid bare the unavoidable necessity for a new political alternative: a mass independent party of the American working people, who comprise the vast majority of the population. The Socialist Equality Party is intervening in the 2006 elections to lay the political foundation for such a party and to fight for the socialist and internationalist program that it requires."


Wonder if Little Hawk had anything to do with writing the article?
