Thread Name: BS: As much as I've grown to dislike Chongo
Subject: RE: BS: As much as I've grown to dislike Chongo
You gotta be kidding, Dan! Chongo has stated his platform on numerous occasions. Where were you, watching Fox? (they refuse to report on anything Chongo says)(Matter of fact, most of the mainstream media refuse to report on Chongo, because their corporate owners are scared stiff of what he might do to their cozy little arrangement if and when he's elected.)

To put it briefly, he's at least as radical as Dennis Kucinich. That makes him anathema to the corporates.

He refers to the present governing elite as "the Moronocracy".

Bananas? Well, he has promised to keep prices low and availability high, and he wants to encourage more marketing of bananas grown by many independent small businesses rather than the market being dominated by a handful of subsidized giant agri-corporations. That is his approach to agri-business in general. He also wants to stop corporate factory farming of cattle, chickens, and pigs (all being raised under horrifying, crowded conditions), and return to raising those animals under natural free range conditions on small, privately owned farms all across North America. If this were done, you could buy meat grown locally by people in your own area, and the animals would be much healthier and happier. This would be good for your health too.

Swings? Chongo has not made any comments about swings, but I think he'd certainly be in favor of having a swing in every backyard, not to mention a treehouse. Joan Baez and Chongo agree on the treehouse thing. It's very good for your health to sleep in a treehouse as long as you are careful, and you don't fall out of it in the morning.

I'll put it simply: Chongo is a natural ally of people like Tom Joad. He is a deadly enemy of people like Donald Trump. Capiche?
