Does Ohio matter?

The controversy over the Ohio vote continues and, indeed, seems to be heating up. But what would happen if a recount showed that Kerry actually won Ohio and therefore the election? Probably nothing. Neither Democrats or Republicans will want to upset the comfortable status quo which insures their continuing obeisance to the Corporations running the world, to say nothing of potentially damaging their sources of support. The will of the people means nothing to those in charge of Washington.

John McCain has gone on record as saying he doesn’t think Donald Rumsfeld should have been allowed to continue as Secretary of Defense. But, of course, he apparently doesn’t intend to do anything about it other than say he doesn’t support him. His usual wimping out just like his continuing support for Bush. “I don’t support him but of course President Bush can keep him if he wishes.” Thanks John, it must be nice to have no integrity at all And by the way, don’t even try to run again for the Presidency, you have lost your credibility.

Our totally out of touch with reality President insists on going ahead with the election in Iraq. It would appear to be very clear to most observers that such an election is out of the question, given the absolute chaos that exists in that tormented and tortured country. But, as always, Bush knows best. How could he not, he speaks directly with God.

Far fewer jobs were created than was expected, not even enough to keep up with population growth. The dollar is at an all time low. The national debt is at an all time high. The Chinese will soon own the United States. But not to worry, Bush can always raise the national debt limit again, so not only will your children and grandchildren be in debt forever, now your great grandchildren will be also. But perhaps not, those social security monies invested in the stock market will no doubt make everyone rich.

I hope it is comforting to know that the control of the United States is now in the hands of the most ignorant among us. We wouldn’t want any of those “pointy headed intellectuals” in the Universities and Colleges, you know, the ones with a semblance of education and knowledge, to have any say in what goes on. So sleep well, knowing you’re in the good Christian hands of the Reds.
