actually, i’d rather not have the ads and collect money from readers like you. are you in? let’s make it happen.

I just caught Lety on CNN discussing McCain’s non-response. I have to admit, she was far more gracious than what the McCain camp deserved. Lucky for him, Leslie Sanchez came to his rescue; essentially saying the McCain camp has been inundated with tons of similar requests and also couldn’t determine if the survey was designed to get to heart of the matter or if it would be used for…get this…”political posturing.” I couldn’t make this up, dawg.

I was one of hundreds of A.S.U. students who
protested against John McCain for voting against the ‘Martin Luther King Holiday’.

He is open about his racism. He said he hated
‘gooks’. And I know for a fact he hates the Indian population in Arizona. What he thinks of Hispanics I could care less. He doesn’t have
too much longer to live.
signing off—-a LATINO who can’t stand McCain!

It is which particular agendas that bother me… they are never in favor of the people, they are in favor of the money that supports them.

But, hey, I’m fairly radical.

Obama is speaking to the hope vote, but still voted for fisa and retroactive immunity for crimes committed.”

I don’t mind if politicians rest on some laurels and appeal mostly to particular agendas. That’s the way it’s always been and I’d be naive to think that in one administration, our nation would drastically deviate from that. But I can’t think of a single politician (with the exception of Bush who did it twice) who has been able to win a national election without conceding to at least a few points/issues from the opposite side. But I suspect that McCain will do just that. Instead of opening himself up to perspectives from the other side, McCain will try to follow Bush’s lead by exclusively pandering to the right using race, national security, and “experience” (while luring a considerable amount of pissed off supporters of Sen. Hillspawn), and by keeping his wealthy buddies happy without even so much as listening to minorities’ concerns.

Anything outside of that will come as a complete and utter shock to me.

Somewhere in my previous education, prior to 1984, I heard the words “Government of the
people, by the people, and for the people.” The word “people” was replaced by the word “corporation” somewhere and I missed it!

I suppose it is possible that I was duly notified by a legal notice hidden away in the back pages of the Wall Street Journal or MAD magazine.

It even has a name, an ugly name. He is pandering directly to the racist vote.

In an election where Obama represents people of color and racial inclusion, unity rather than division, McCain’s only hope is the Racist White Supremist vote.

Now whether or not Obama’s answers will be reflected in his actual actions in office is another thing, (hello? politicians lie… remember Clinton & gays in the military becoming don’t ask don’t tell?) but I do think he will respond.

McCain wants the fear vote, the devisive vote that is the coattail of the failed bush administration… more war, more prisons, more walls.

Obama is speaking to the hope vote, but still voted for fisa and retroactive immunity for crimes committed.

I think in the end, both are bought and paid for by the Uber-rich kleptocracy that really runs this country. I think neither will truly be populist, nor care about the widening economic divide that is the concern that unites people of all hues and ethnicities.

It is time for a Populist party, a party in which all workers everywhere stand up and say “No Mas!”

I am for an open border. The same mentality that hated “WOPS” (“With Out Papers”… sound familiar?) has become obsolete. The US has done much to cause Mexico’s economic trouble, and done everything to create the US’s current economic hell.

In the end, neither will brave standing against Korporate America… there is too much at stake in walls and detention centers and keeping people divided while they steal us all blind. God knows, they find ways of killing off those who espouse REAL change and have since Martin, John and Bobby.

I could go on, but hate to make an essay-long comment, my apologies.
