The Great Compromise of 2008???

Hello to my little friends in Michigan and Florida!

I say little, because you're half the man you used to be. That's right, your vote has been counted, and it is half of a regular vote! This is bigger than the slaves getting to vote after emancipation, but only being 3/5 of a vote. That was the last "compromise" that was delivered to voters. It was addressed by the Fourteenth Amendment to the Constitution of the United States, in Section 2 of that Amendment, which reads-

Section 2. Representatives shall be apportioned among the several States according to their respective numbers, counting the whole number of persons in each State, excluding Indians not taxed. But when the right to vote at any election for the choice of electors for President and Vice President of the United States, Representatives in Congress, the Executive and Judicial officers of a State, or the members of the Legislature thereof, is denied to any of the male inhabitants of such State, being twenty-one years of age, and citizens of the United States, or in any way abridged, except for participation in rebellion, or other crime, the basis of representation therein shall be reduced in the proportion which the number of such male citizens shall bear to the whole number of male citizens twenty-one years of age in such State.

So, those of you living in those states have been disenfranchised. The Democratic Party is deciding who you REALLY vote for. Don't like the results? Tough. They are telling you who you're electing, and this is FRAUD, plain and simple. Remember a couple posts back where I said the Corporations decide who gets elected? Case in point, and case closed. Are people pissed? Yes, judging from what I've seen and read. The people who are happy are those who voted for Hillary. They got more votes than they thought. Those who voted for Obama got rooked out of some delegates, though not enough to lose the "election".

Let me make one thing clear- THIS IS NOT AN ELECTION!!! The "people" do NOT get a say in this. Make no mistake about it, when I first heard Obama's name about three years ago, and he was labeled by the media as "The Democrat's Biggest Rising Star", I knew he was going to be appointed the next President. I stand by that opinion today. I don't think that McCain can win against him. The media has him portrayed as the New Messiah. The Corporations that run this once-great nation will make certain he is elected, a bought-and-paid-for package- not so different from the Village Idiot we currently have, skippering the sinking ship called America. WHEN WILL PEOPLE WAKE UP AND REALIZE THAT THIS IS NOT "FOR OUR COUNTRY", BUT THE CORPORATIONS' COLLECTIVE WALLETS?

It's not about the "will of the people". It's not about "the nation", it's not about whatever hot-button, emotionally-charged issue making the headlines. It is about greed run amok. As they say, "Power Corrupts. Power Point Corrupts Absolutely."

We are having our rights stripped away from us, not just the enumerated rights spelled out in the Bill of Rights, but our very rights of self-determination. The era of the One-Party System is upon us, and people aren't seeing it. They are responding to emotion, accepting inane labels such as "Republican", "Democrat", "Conservative" and "Liberal", when the two parties would be best described as "Unbridled Greed", or "Corruption Incarnate".

I fear for this country's future, I really do. I think we may actually have gone beyond the "tipping point" this time, and are faced with a government "Of Itself, By Itself, And For Itself". That's NOT what was written in the Constitution- I know, because I've read it. We're headed in the wrong direction, led along by the complicit media, and the not-so-benevolent oligarchy that we know as the Federal Government.

We no longer have a say in anything that goes on, unless we band together and go after the demagogues with Our Pitchforks And Torches! Welcome to the New Amerika, comrades!

As always, I am...
