This is a battle for the future of America, and, by extension, the world. It's a battle against the greedy bastards who'll rape everything for their short-term goals and leave the rest of us sweating and gasping in a sweltering heap while they continue to hoard the last of the resources to live in secluded comfort on what could well be a dying world.

EVERYTHING comes down to that. Foreign policy, alternate energy, environmental protection, free trade, outsourcing, the war on terror, etc.

EVERYTHING. It's about how these few motherfuckers can take everything from everyone else and do whatever the hell they want while the rest of the planet suffers. While they continue to poison the air, the sea, and watch the ice slough off the arctic and antarctic knowing that no matter WHAT happens, they can jump on a plane and go to where they'll be safe and comfortable.

It's these gawdawful pricks and their inside access to the halls of power, and their goddamn golden parachutes that leave them sitting pretty while their employees are struggling to survive, while our young men and women return from the horrors of war maimed in mind and body, if they return alive at all, just to make some of their friends and associates even wealthier than they already were.

Maybe if the front runner made ANY attempt to address this side of things rather than leaving it to the 2nd and 3rd place contenders, maybe some of us would consider her more than a corporate candidate whose only problem with the way things are going is that SHE'S not calling the shots. That the problem wasn't that we were LIED into war, but that they fucked it all up beyond recognition.

Since this whole campaign started, that's the impression I've had, and I'm STILL waiting for something, anything, to convince me--or even tempt me--to believe otherwise.

Attacking the Repugs is easy. But they AIN'T the only possible enemy. Anyone who's in the pockets of the oligarchs is JUST as much an enemy. And perhaps an even worse one, because they're wearing our colors and working for the other side.

And I despair of anyone who hasn't figured THAT out yet.
