2008 Election Predictions

Not mine, another bloggers:

"TF&BN's 2008 Election Predictions"

"I don't profess to be an expert, only an observer of the American political process. I was 11 when JFK was shot and at that point in time, I figured something was wrong and my mind hasn't changed since. This year's mock election debacle reinforces my beliefs.

First, there's something wrong with the number of candidates still in the running, with no consistently clear leader, according to the primaries, caucuses and polls. To me, this says the voter's minds are far from made up. Either because people don't care, or are confused by the propaganda the MSM beams at them. No politician ever lost votes underestimating the stupidity or ignorance of the American voter. Votes are sometimes decided on a candidate's looks, gender, race, relatives or hometown, rather than taking a hard look at a candidate's stand on the issues or their voting record while in office. It resembles American Idol more than American Election.

Even if every American did study the candidate's issues and voting records, and voted with conviction, there's the pesky matter of voter fraud. Unless you haven't voted since 1988, you've heard about it. I think any vote in the general election is a waste of time and an abortion of democracy.

So I'll make my prediction quick and simple- it's so eay to do: Whoever winds up getting into office won't make a damn bit of difference.

I don't even have to know who will win, but I predict that whoever the next falsely appointed and/or illegally "elected" President is, I am certain they will:

|| Consider the interest and benefit of Israel before the welfare of the American people.

|| Put special (monied) interests before the welfare of the American people.

|| Perpetuate the damaging economic policies that are destroying the working people and the rest of the world. The number of foreclosures and the hungry and homeless in the US will increase.

|| Continue the imperialistic, expansionist idiology and actions that continue to make the US despised by the rest of the world.

|| Will create more wars based on lies, killing more innocents to ensure boom times for the business of war and of those who profit from death.

|| Continue to violate civil and Constitutional rights, including increased eavesdropping on phone conversations, email and Internet traffic, and travel restrictions.

|| Continue to practice torture.

|| Continue to crack down on any form of dissent and any thoughts, actions or deeds that defy whatever their interpretation of a particular anti-terrorism law is in vogue on any given day.

|| Continue to send "other's kids", not their own, to die for the wars they create for profit.

|| Continue to not give a rat's ass about health care or education. If you're wealthy, you'll go to a good school and get top-notch health care.

To sum up, if you find the need to go to a voting poll, just close your eyes and push a button. It won't make a damn bit of difference. And you'll deserve what you get. Either from being ignorant, obstinate, lazy, or all three."
