Okay, I'll try to clarify again.

Hillary is a part of the same vast machine of which W is a part. If she is elected, I don't think we'll see any substantive changes vis a vis the military-industrial complex. Didn't you recently make a statement against lobbyists? Hillary recently made a statement that lobbyists represent the concerns of ordinary folks just like us, which is, of course, horseshit. She also is #2 in taking money from pharmaceutical concerns. Anyhoo, my point is more that the only candidates who are not part of that vast machine (Kucinich, Gravel, Paul) are being treated as non-candidates. They have more support than you might imagine, but not as much as they would have if given a fair airing in the media. (I repeat at this point that I support no candidate.)

The power now lies with the corporations. We don't choose. Very wealthy, powerful people choose, and then we are skillfully led in the direction of their choice. Failing that, it's pretty damn easy to hack those Diebold machines. I'm just sayin'.
