I donated a thousand dollars to Fred’s campaign, and mostly what I got were soliticitations for more money.
When Fred officially announced, the grassroots organizers turned it over to the likes of Mary Matlin. I expressed my concern at the time, I believe at the Friends of Fred’s site” and other places, with no one really responding.
I want to know, how and why he should call it quits based on the results of three primaries, when Giuliani hasn’t placed period.
I was discusted by last night’s debate. It is becoming increasingly obvious the MSM is distorting election results (especially in regard to Ron Paul, as evidenced in the first three primaries and LA). Up until recently, Paul wasn’t a serious choice for me, but I have to tell you, the nasty stunts and rhetoric coming out of all MSM (and that includes FOX) has gotten my suspicions up that “the powers at be” think the rest of us are a bunch of idiots. It is as if, both parties are flirting with the concept of “soft” fascism, which isn’t the first time this country has gone down this road, if you know your history….and that includes “liberals”.
One has to ask oneself what the heck is going on when Rupert Murdoch hosted a 2006 fundraising event for Hillary Clnton.
It is pretty clear that if Giuliani gets the nod, Rick Perry is going to be his VP. He has been spending a lot of time in the background, especially in SC, wooing for Rudy. Rudy has also set up a very large law firm in Houston doing work for big oil.
Perry is not seeking re-election for governor in Texas. When he mandated that eleven year old girls get a vaccine for HPV, that was the last straw for me.
Increasingly, most of these politicians, whether they call themselves conservatives or liberals, are simply doing the bidding of transnationals, whether or not they are U.S. corporations. When I see a merging of the NASDAQ with the state owned Saudi exchange, and vice versa the NASDAQ merging with the Saudi exchange, I see it as a marriage between government and business.
The “liberals” want to tell the corporations what to do, but still want corporate interests entangled with setting government polciy. Meanwhile the “conservatives” call individuals at the government trough parasites, but don’t mind stepping up and feeding at the government trough themselves.
At first, I believed that Thompson was going to confront this, with his video out there on Chinagate proclaiming the Clintons better get ready for round two, but now I have to wonder, if he just wasn’t put in the race by the puppeteers to draw votes away from those who they consider their annointed (be it Clinton, Romney or Giuliani). All three are pretty much being supported by the same people.
McCain gives me the creeps, when he touts global warming and panders to those who not only look the other way in regard to illegal immigrants, but profit from it. I am not against legal immigrants, not at all, but looking the other way in regard to illegals, more or less is condoning human trafficking. Those who do not want to do that are not only at a competitive disadvantage, but will be the ones who go to jail, if they end up sucooumbing to it. Corporatation often filter down the responsiblity for verification of legal status to subcontrators, often times looking the other way when the subcontractors breaking the law are willing to take the chance (pretty risk free in sanctuary cities). How am I suppose to take seriously a party who claims to be strong on national security and putting on a show about actively combatting it, with sweeping measures provided them in the Patriot Act, while they think an open border to our south or north is permeable to the very guys they say are out to get us. Why did Trent Lott aggressively lobby support for Israel’s right to build a Wall to protect themselves from Palestinian terrorists (he even supported giving Israel money to do it) and then pontificate about how conservative talk show hosts need to STFU when speaking out for the same thing here?
I am a xenophobe for seeing the hypocrisy of both parties in regard to immigration? I am to be afraid of terrorists, but not question the methods, by which there has been an open gate that more or less says “come on in”?
Basically, I am tired of being played for a sucker, and I have serious doubts, at this juncture, that Thompson didn’t either get snookered himself, or was in on the snookering. Like I said Mary Matlin, was in on his running strategy, as was one of the daughter’s of Dick Cheney.
What the heck is going on here?
Befuddled.
