Subject: RE: BS: The ups and downs of polls
Here is the link to the latest Pew Research poll on the presidential race, for those who are interested:

The thing is, all three candidates are running for the prize of the Imperial President. All three candidates will continue the imperial wars. Neither major party's elected officials, or it's grassroots constituents are asking of these candidates "Why can't an empire withdraw?" or "What rewards or protection does the US public get from having bases and troops around the world?" or "Why does the US public feel more secure possessing thousands of nuclear weapons and aircraft unmatched by any other power?"

Nothing will change until the American people AND it's politicians challenge the assumptions and status quo of the US military
empire. Nothing. Not Obama, not any of them.
