A year ago i wasn't all that interested if Ralph Nader ran for President or not, even though i helped campaign for him in 2000. Then, over the course of 2004, as Oregon Democrats worked so hard to keep him off the ballot, i got more and more pissed off, and found myself supporting him.

God's messenger offers a smiling white-wash of the darker hours ahead, as if no deficiency ever existed in the plans of George W. Bush.

But when every program or venture faces economic failure as a ramification of multiplying debt, the only solution to an uneconomic system which can only multiply debt in proportion to commerce is mathematically perfected economy.

Did you know that John Kerry and John Edwards are active opponents of media consolidation and active supporters of campaign finance reform? (Did you expect corporate-owned media to tell you about this?) And is it possible that this is why the top executives of most major media corporations--FOX, Viacom, etcetera--oppose (and fear?) a Kerry presidency?

--of course the article HAS TO COME from Britain to get word on the slavish US press. That in itself is telling of the propagandic uselessless of US corporate media and millions and millions of useless journalistic hack jobs.

MANIPULATION FROM THE (FAKE) LEFT:

"The Star and Tribune had a run a poll saying that John Kerry had a 9 per cent lead over George W Bush in Minnesota. Rival polls claimed the race was tied. The paper's editor had endorsed Kerry, and the Republicans believed they had uncovered a liberal plot...

MANIPULATION FROM THE CORPORATE CHRIST RIGHT:

"Gallup's polls, used by CNN and USA Today, had given Bush a 14 point lead but other polls conducted at the same time put it at around 3 per cent....George Gallup Jr, son of the poll's founder and director of its research centre, was a born-again Christian of the nosiest type who had said earlier this year that 'the most profound purpose of polls is to see how people are responding to God'. 'We thought the purpose is to faithfully and factually report public opinion,' moveon.org retorted with a sniff. You get the picture. Religious fundamentalists in the polling
industry..."

THE CLENCHER

"The polling companies dismissed the protests as overheated allegations from an angry campaign. But the demonstrators were on to something. How can one poll give Kerry a nine point lead in Minnesota and others give him no lead at all? Why do CNN viewers hear that Bush is cruising to a landslide victory, while he's in the tightest race imaginable on other channels?....[P]ollsters fear their racket is 'on the way to extinction'...that the public is fed up with being pestered...Huge numbers refuse to talk to pollsters. Morin found that 'in some surveys fewer than one in five calls produces a completed interview - raising doubts whether such polls accurately reflect the views of the public....Only two of the 11 final national polls were right in 2000."

In Elections: Democracy and Dictatorship, Resistance and Revolution he really dissects the current situation around the election. He breaks down why Bush is doing what he is doing and why Kerry is doing what he is doing??"how they are both "auditioning" for who can be the best commander-in-chief to represent the larger interests of the U.S. monopoly imperialist ruling class; and why being confined by the terms and logic of this election is very dangerous for the people.

He brings out the deep strategic global interests of the U.S. power structure??"why the Bush agenda has had so much initiative; why it is dangerous to hope that the Democrats can be relied on to oppose this agenda; and why people need to unite very broadly in the kind of resistance that can not only oppose but defeat what he calls the "juggernaut of war and repression."

The fact that you have to try and convince people who are or are leaning towards voting for Nader to vote for Kerry shows how terrible Kerry is. If he actually talked about real issues and hammered Bush where he is weak, he would win by an easy margin. Kerry is barely ahead if at all, because he will not really say anything substantive that will displease his corporate sponsors, and the progressive left made no demand of him in exchange for their vote.

The Afghan election has no credibility for the simple fact that instead of counting the ballots at the precincts where the Afghan people voted the organizers of the election - the U.S. government - decided to do what they did in the Batista election in Cuba prior to the Cuban revolution. They decided to move the ballot boxes to Kabul citing the need for secure counting.
