The hate machine, lie machine, and the money machine are all on full blast with intent to kill any chance progressives and liberals have standing—especially President Obama and some Senators.

But why is Netanyahu demanding war with Iran ‘now’ as arguing there is no reason to wait—yet he has ‘never’ proven his allegations (nor should we trust information coming from their camp)?

And how convenient this mysterious Anti-Muslim video shows up in the right hot spots to set off protests across the Arab world, as if an October Surprise, to create the likeness of frustration with Jimmy Carter and lingering American hostages in Iran, whilst Ronald Reagan won the presidency (as the hostages were released the very next day after he became President in secret agreement)?

Despite how vehemently Republicans deny it—many of the current problems of this country are due more to Bush’s White House years (especially economic ones—but hardly all). Their case, that is since bungling Bush, is that a President, as a supposed omnipotent leader, can magically change almost any set of circumstances, and is thus completely, or substantially, responsible for his or her own fate (read what media pundits and spin doctors choose to see as his fate). Just pull up those bootstraps boy.

Nevertheless the economy has taken a very long time in its making. Even most Americans, if given adequate sound bite explanations, can understand magical thinking and simplistic rhetoric is politics over substance. (And where were there constructive efforts by Obama’s opponents?)

The Republican strategy has been to deny, ignore, deceive, and attack.

Still everyone ought to know by now both major parties (top down) are corrupt. Both parties have allowed a Police State to continue to grow its tentacles while siphoning tax dollars to feed their new surveillance industry.

But what is also becoming known, since there is now no other viable alternative candidate in Ron Paul, is that the Romney/ Ryan team will likely be a huge disaster in the making for a majority of Americans. So despite the fact that President Obama doesn’t exactly deserve to be President any longer (with so many compromises from his promises), at this point, We The People of United States, need to protect ourselves from worse calamity and calumny with Karl Rove and his shadow group (to actually think it could get worse).

So despite what well seems like another stolen election in the making, such as with disenfranchising voters with new State laws, alienated, apathetic, disappointed, disheartened, angry, resentful, confused, Americans, and all independent minds must get out and vote in huge numbers this election—because this election still deeply matters. So before people get any ideas about rioting after a stolen election, and despite what a letdown the American Empire as a whole has become, people need to get out and vote—especially the young and the embittered.

Romney knows Obama’s voters are disappointed with him and will play this card to the max. But the only choice we Americans currently have is bad or terrible (which is enough for many people to give up on the fixed system and think there will be no difference).

Many, many Americans resent not having any real choice for something truly new. And they are angry across the divide. Many Republicans are highly angry as well (at least the smarter ones). They know Romney did not truly win the nomination—State counts and procedures were manipulated. They well realize he was foisted on their party by a sophisticated propaganda machine including mainstream media, and people like Karl Rove and billionaire donors like Sheldon Adelson and the Koch brothers.

Plenty of mainstream Republicans loved Ron Paul, and know full well he was illegally deprived of real market share and likely he would have been the real nominee had it actually been a fair process (but was too much threat to their criminal and ideological status quo).

It was Karl Rove who decided Mitt Romney was the most electible of the candidates running that his ilk considered acceptable (which wasn’t saying much). But this is exactly the point. Americans need to be reminded, again and again, in loud and bold terms, about Karl Rove’s last protégé. Both Karl Rove and George Bush’s names should haunt these debates as deservingly the nightmare apparitions they are. Rove has a knack for choosing people who don’t understand moral ethics, despite rhetoric to the contrary and more importantly portend enormous catastrophe.

But then here is part of the problem—both Democrats and Republicans have not been able to indict their own kind, as part of the Neo-Con-Artist, post-9/11 illegal wars, imperialist, doubling of Pentagon/Police State budget, spy on Americans, corporate crime racket, Torture Inc., etc., that controls too much of Washington D.C. to this very day. With both parties, the American people don’t really have a government; per se, but instead have what seems more like organized crime (that now includes all fascist possibilities).

Are we to go back to the stuff of Dick Cheney, Donald Rumsfeld, Scooter Libby, etc.? 9/11 happened on their watch—that is when Dick was at control center in the basement of the White House, supposedly employing “stand-down” status instead of allowing Air force fighters to shoot down a supposed plane heading toward the Pentagon; that is while another Rove choice as half-to-empty suit, named George Bush, was reading a children’s book upside down at a school house in Florida (and get this his mother was a librarian).
