Two years ago in our last election, against my better judgment, I threw in with the Kerry camp and worked for his election as our president. I did this because I bought into the “lesser of two evils” argument and thought it was so important to unseat George Bush that we should not dilute possible Democratic votes by advocating voting for third party candidates. Now that we are facing mid-term elections, a number of friends and associates are once again using these same arguments to urge others to support Democratic candidates. This time I am not buying into their program for a number of very good reasons.

Beyond doubt, George Bush is the worst President this Nation has ever had. He is an amoral liar and an incompetent megalomaniac who has sold us out and brought this Nation to war on a lie. This being so, he has made it easy for Democrats to posture that they hold the moral high ground and are the “Good Guys” who will right the wrongs wrought by the ignoble and abominable George Bush. Indeed, this is the thrust of the Democrats present campaign to take back control of Congress. However, as much as I wish that their claims are true, the record clearly demonstrates otherwise.

The Democratic and Republican parties are two sides of the same coin and the truth of the matter is that President George Bush is not an accident or aberration, but instead, the logical and inevitable result of and illegal and corrupt two party political system, of which the Democratic and Republican parties are jointly and severely responsible for. George Bush is a horrible President who exemplifies everything that is wrong in America, but the simple truth of the matter is that, all things being considered, the Democrats are not any better than the Republicans, having been cut from the same block of rotten wood.

For example, it is common knowledge throughout Congress that our Constitution is a compromised/dysfunctional document which is only useful as a tool to keep Americans unaware of the kind of government we really have. This being true, Republicans and Democrats take their oath of office with their fingers crossed behind their backs and out of un-enlightened self-interest are card carrying members of a nationwide conspiracy to keep Americans as ignorant as possible about affairs of state and how we are governed. George Bush lied to bring this Nation to war and as terrible as this is, he only did what is commonly accepted by both Parties as being a sound and necessary governmental prerogative.

If we really want to see the true colors of the Democratic Party, we only have to look to Bill Clinton, the Nations second worst President who preceded George Bush. And in case you have forgotten, Bill Clinton is a Democrat. And as a Democrat he subscribes to and endorses the following:

• The purpose of government is to rein in the rights of the people.

• There are a lot of very brilliant people who believe that the nation state is fast becoming a relic of the past.

• If the personal freedoms guaranteed by the Constitution inhibit the government's ability to govern the people, we should look to limit those guarantees.

• People suffer not because their governments are too strong, but because their governments are too weak.

• We can't be so fixated on our desire to preserve the rights of ordinary Americans.

After reading these horrific and un-American statements, it should be clear to us that Bill Clinton set the stage for George Bush and in fact, was his precursor and intellectual equal. Bill Clinton is an intelligent corrupt idiot! George Bush is an incompetent corrupt idiot? Therefore, we can rest assured that both achieved the presidency because they are idiots and corrupt; the attributes most prized by their corporate masters.

Being a war criminal is far worse than being a sexual predator and we can give Bill Clinton credit for not driving the nation into insolvency like George Bush has, but never-the-less, we are insolvent now and Bill Clinton set the stage for the coming of George Bush. Among other things, he did so by championing the enactment of GATT; thus robbing this Nation of its sovereignty and by refusing to honorably resign when he was impeached for the felonious crimes of Lying Under Oath and Obstruction of Justice. He is surely guilty of both these crimes and the fact that he was acquitted by the Senate clearly establishes that his impeachment trial was a constitutional farce engineered by the Democrats and Republicans. The really frightening aspect of this situation is that this farce unfolded while Chief Justice Rehnquist of the Supreme Court, who presided over these nefarious proceedings, sat, watched, and conveniently forgot to do the job he is sworn and paid to do.

Democrats are the good guys? If they are the good guys, how come:

• They stand in flagrant and continual violation of their oath of office?

• They subscribe and adhere to a policy of lying to and fooling the American people?

• They willingly participated in the dissolution of this Nation’s sovereignty by voting to enact NAFTA and GATT?

• They conspired to ensure that Bill Clinton would not be convicted after being impeached and thereby, with the complicity of the Republicans, made a mockery of this Nation’s constitutionally provided impeachment process?

• They have not ensured that the legally required steps are taken to try Bill Clinton in our Criminal Justice System for the felonious crimes he committed while in office? Do the Democrats really subscribe to the notion that a sitting president is above the law, including constitutional law, and this nefarious immunity extends to Presidents when they have left office for crimes committed while in office?

• They subscribe to a policy of “must have party line votes” and blackmail their membership, when deemed necessary, to ensure party members in Congress vote as ordered? This blackmailing of members of Congress is why Bill Clinton was not convicted as charged when he was impeached and why this Nation suffers under NAFTA, GATT, and our resulting unconstitutional membership in the World Trade Organization.

• They have not condemned and reversed our invasion of Iraq after it became common knowledge that we invaded Iraq for contrived and surreptitious reasons? Is it morally acceptable to allow murder, mayhem, and destruction to continue when the reasons behind the murder, mayhem, and destruction are known to be false?

In order to reclaim the freedom we once had, Americans must grow up and realize that being a Republican or Democrat is not like being a Yankee or Cardinals fan. An election is not the equivalent of a sporting event or a rock concert. Citizens should not be loyal to a political party similar to the way they are loyal to a favored sports team. Furthermore, while the sentiment “my country right or wrong works for a nation”; it is the epitome of ignorance and un-Americanism when such blind and absurd loyalty is extended to a political party.

In an ideal America, every American would be registered as having “No Party Affiliation” (NPF). If this were the case, perhaps those who we trust to lead us would pay more attention to the job that they are supposed to be doing and not work to feather their own nests at our expense. In the final analysis, we must realize the nature of the good cop/bad cop game the established parties play; a game the purpose of which is to have their way with us and hide their real agenda; personal enrichment at our expense and the subjugation of the American people.

In conclusion, if you truly believe that the Democrats are part of the solution to what ails this Nation, you are dead wrong. And if you truly believe that by voting for Democrats in this election we will somehow undo the great wrongs of George Bush, then you are ignoring the readily discernable facts and are part of the problem yourself. The Republican and Democratic parties are both morally, legally, spiritually, and politically bankrupt. They care and work for their own well-being first and by so doing have evolved into the willing instruments of our impoverishment and subjugation. The simple truth of the matter is that no matter how you feel about George Bush, anyone who votes for any Republican or Democrat in this and future elections, is a fool who has their head buried so deep within the sand that they are out of touch with reality.
