There is no safety or succor in voting for any candidate from either party. Regardless of speeches given, regardless of platforms trodden, regardless of promises made, these politicians have sold their souls to the company store.

The necessities of campaigning within a system that requires hundreds of millions of dollars spent on a campaign for the office that pays four hundred thousand per year for four years only requires an allegiance to the corporate money spigot and thus an allegiance to the needs and wishes of the corporate lien holders. Likewise “lesser offices” require equally absurd financing levels thus indebting all of those who seek or win office to the same fate.

There are those who believe that the lesser of two evils is not evil, they are wrong. The last two Democratic administrations should prove, to even the most partisan democrat, that their party is , despite the flowery speeches, just as wedded to corporate profit over citizens welfare as is its counter part.

In a system that gives great advantage to the two major parties there is no solution that is not a long and tedious process. That alone repels many I fear, yet the task remains necessary. If we give serious thought to ways to turn the course of this ship of state from its journey towards increasing control of our governance , also known as Fascism, then one non-violent solution remains viable I believe.

Vote Third Party, do not vote, even at the local level, for either major party. Think about please.

Don’t forget: Pawlenty ballooned the state’s deficit just like all the Republican Reagan devotees did.

In fact, by every measurable standard, Tim Pawlenty was a miserable failure as governor of Minnesota. It’s terrifying to think that in her two years as Governor of Alaska, Sarah Palin did MORE to help the citizens of her state (albeit at the expense of the other 49) than Pawlenty did in 8 years as Governor of Minnesota.

But it’s sorta stupid to actually have articles on Pawlenty. He’s the horse who breaks a leg coming out of the starting gate. He offers nothing that the tea-party wants, nothing that the non-teaparty wants.  The Republicans clearly don’t like him, and he has NOTHING to appeal to independents and Right-leaning Democrats.

He even makes Romney look “Presidential”.

Stick a fork in him: He’s done.

As is the GOPer candidate slate for 2012 doesn’t have enough flakes (and a flakette), now there is the faint possibility that the US could be ruled (if the majority of the populace has been driven insane by Bush and Obama) by a corporate tool named Thaddeus McCotter.

THADDEUS MCCOTTER!!

OMG, how far have we sunk?
