I don't know "Janet", but I don't think that GfS is Janet anyway. I DO think that the ruling political game in America is to keep the public's attention focused blindly forever on the Democrats and Republicans while larger interests behind those two parties and controlling them both run the show.
Do you remember when the public voted for the Democrats in Congress in 2006, under the impression (encouraged by the Democratic Party) that the Democrats would end the war in Iraq?
They didn't end it. They didn't even try. The public was robbed. No surprise to me.
Do you remember when Americans voted Lyndon Johnson in because they thought he was the candidate who would keep America out of foreign wars? He turned the Vietnam War into a huge conflict.
You can all continue getting fooled as long as you bounce back and forth betweem Tweedledee and Tweedledum endlessly.
Look, if I was there, you know what I'd do now? I'd still vote for Obama, because I think that John McCain and the Republicans are the worst of the two possible choices, and the Republicans deserve to be turfed out for the last 8 years of lunacy. But would I expect it to change things fundamentally in America if the Democrats won? Nope. Even if Obama wanted to bring in some fundamental changes (of a more liberal sort), he couldn't. The sheer weight of the established American $ySStem would not let him.
Spaw has said as much in some of his posts lately. Is he too "fooled by Janet"?
