Now contrast that against the Dems who will have a woman and/or a multi-racial man somewhere on the ticket and you will see a revival of racism verging on the heyday of the Klan in the ’20’s and the vicious response to the Civil Rights Movement in the ’60’s.

2008 is going to be a really bad year – I’m guessing at least one assassination or attempt – Obama has had to have Secret Service protection and he’s not even the nominee.

Further, our elected representatives now submit to special interests as soon as they take office, leaving the best interests of the public unprotected. The result: evil candidates that lie to get elected or (somewhat) honest candidates that sell out to stay in power. The twin specters of Greed and Money have poisoned this country to a dangerous level.</p> They’re all scary but what’s even more frightening is that it is increasingly clear that our electoral system is obviously broken.

Or perhaps some dumbshit rich asshole could send Robert “B-1″ Dornan a few sheckles to provide some real comic relief. Or maybe god will get bored watching all these right wing pinheads making the usual complete asses of themselves and tell Pat “Rubber room” Robertson to run again or he’ll give him running sores to go with his needle dick.</p> I’m still waiting for everybody’s favorite dangerous dingbat to come out from underneath whatever rock is festering under – Alan Keyes!

I’ve got a <a href="http://one.revver.com/watch/304208/flv/affiliate/95500">new video</a> that nails McCain, Giuliani, Romney, and Thompson. After several months of speeches and debates a picture of each candidate has started to emerge–and it ain’t pretty. Feel free to share it with friends.</p> Great post!
