Face the friggin' truth.
No amount of Bullying politics is going to change this unless we change our focus. You will vote for who you want and I will vote for who I want- not that it will do any good.
Supercapitalism is the Power in the world. Not America, not Republicans or Democrats.
And we feed into this Global Money Power Monster every day.
Until we change our NEEDS and stop feeding this out of control monster NOTHING will change. There will only be more wars until all the energy resources are owned by a small group of greedy corporations under the guise that 'our people need it.'
Iraq is because of oil Iran is next because of the natural gas as Newt tells us here:
(September 24, 2007) during On the Record with Greta van Susteren, former Speaker of the House Newt Gingrich called for the Bush administration to sabotage Iran's natural gas refinery, using the same black-ops tactics Ronald Reagan authorized in 1981 against the Soviet Union, tactics that resulted in an explosion so large that it compared in force to a nuclear bomb.
Gingrich said: "I can't imagine why they put up with this. I mean, either General Petraeus is wrong and the military spokesman's wrong or the current policies we have are stunningly ineffective. ... We should finance the students. We should finance a Radio Free Iran. We should covertly sabotage the only gasoline refinery in the country. We should be prepared, once the gasoline refinery's down, to stop all of the gasoline tankers and communicate to the Iranian government, that, if they want to move equipment into Iran - into Iraq - they're gonna have to walk."
What was legal beagle Greta's response to this bloodthirsty, illegal and immoral suggestion?
She said "That actually seems rather simple and easy to do."

We might be able to postpone any attack into Iran by electing a Democrat but the real Powers of the World will get their gas.
The Real Powers in the world will squeeze out every dollar they can from the consumers. We have proof of that every time we go to a store, go to the doctors, heat our homes, eat out, use our credit cards and buy buy buy.
I believe that with all this energy of like-minded people we need to convince each other to change our mind-set instead of letting others try to do our will.
My major concern is that we as a society have become so brain-washed, controlled and spoiled into thinking that 'we can have it all' that we are willing soldiers in so many ways for the corporations.
Nothing changes over night , unfortunately, but it is clear to me that until the people are willing to close their purse-strings in every common sense way that one is able to do we are doomed.
I would like to start a discussion about changing things at this level since it seems near impossible to expect congress to do the right things.
One closed wallet at a time. Perhaps we could share our tips on living with less stuff.
We Need to Turn over our bowls as MrMichaelMT states in a diary below this one like the Burmese Monks. *(MrMichael MT we must've been posting at the same time)
UPDATE: Another good like-minded diary up above this one:untitled diary -- What is in a name .... byone pissed off democrat.
Let's GROW this New Way Forward Mind-Set!!
