Reply #8: Not 'long-winded'...just too damn generalized... [View All]

[Q]

"When a platform is put together at a convention, each plank is agreed to by all parties."

This is simply NOT true. Facts show that in 2004 the DLC (for all intents and purposes) practically wrote the platform by themselves and then rammed it down the throats of other Dems under the guise of 'unity and winning'.

Everything has changed. Not since 9-11...but since the 2000...where a 'president' was 'chosen' by a handful of powerful people and a cooperative media. Some would call it a 'coup'.

In government...it gets down to either being FOR or against the people they supposedly represent. Too many of both parties have consistently voted against the interests of the people in favor of the 'big business' that coincidentally keeps their campaign chests full of cash.

If this is the type of America you want...then keep voting for the 'middle' and don't take a stand against government corruption.
