Well, I'm an independent now and this really is my last diary.
I am at a whole new level of fed up with the Democratic Party and with the DLC. (Dean, Gore and the CBC are exempt as usual)
I think I've figured out why the big name dems won't say shit about Diebold. It's because they're in on it!
Argue all you want but I've concluded that we really only have one party in this country, the Corporate Party. How else could you explain how democrats sucessfully manage to say a whole lot without saying anything.
If you go to the DLC's site they say a whole lot about health care but nothing about big pharma and the insurance companies, the real problem. They say a whole lot about corruption but nothing about publically funded campaigns. They say a few bad things about Bush but nothing about the war crimes, WP or the Downing Street Memos (to this day Bill and Hill haven't even acknowledged they exist).
There is a lot of being said but nothing that will actually get a damn thing done! No solutions, all just talking points.
That got me thinking about Diebold and how my own Democratic Sectretary of State just spent 30+million dollars on getting the easily hacked machines in every county of MS. Diebold is about keeping the corporate enabling asshats in office, with no fear of their constituency.
It made me think of Cindy Sheehan and her challenge of Diane Feinstien, how Diane sat across from Chris (Micheal Moore=UBL) Matthews and laughed at Cindy for having the gall to get arrested for a noble cause. Diane can laugh cause California will have Diebold this November, Cindy is no real threat to her.
It makes me wonder how all of those "democrats" could cheer for Bush's disgusting SOTU speech last night. They happily do business with those corporations that own the republican party, ie Fienstein (hubby works with Lockheed-Martin) or Biden (gets tons of cash from Citibank, which is owned by the Saudies) or Hillary (having dinners with Rupert Murdoch). How else could they stomach to play golf and have lunch with all these morally repulsive people?
I figure that the joke is on us.
It makes me ill to think I've worked so hard for a party that only gives lip service to the things that actually matter.
I've said it before and I'll say it again, fight Diebold and support progressive candidates that is America's ONLY hope.
Peace and Love Daily Kos, this is my last diary and I wanted end with something I think is important.
