Taint

A dear friend of mine refers to America as 'this sinking ship.' In spite of all, I am not that pessimistic. Now the upcoming elections, that's a different story.

I think a Congressional race is going to be hard to fix especially if the polls indicate a clear cut winner. But if the polls indicate a close lead, let's say a Democrat slightly ahead, I fear their may be mischief.

If the voting system in America was truly accurate, then the Democrats win back Congress hands down. With the voting system corrupted as it is, its going to be a lot closer.


Like the vast majority of Americans, I would like to see the present presidential administration spend two years explaining how they got so much, so wrong. Why did they allow a cabal of twenty some odd neo-cons to take over the direction of our country and impose this hideous new paradigm i.e. war, fear, war, fear, state control over individual rights, AKA pre-fascist conditions?

Here is a comparison chart assembled by a deep operative who has my thanks and appreciation.
