On Friday afternoon, America's cowardly
politicians did the unthinkable: they bailed out Wall
Street. Both the senate and the house of representatives
defied public outcry, gave George W. Bush what he wanted,
and now have the audacity to exclaim, "we had no
choice!" What a joke.
These politicians should be ashamed
of themselves. Republicans should be ashamed. Democrats
should be ashamed. And all who voted for these politicians
should be disgusted.
Yesterday I gave my opinion on how
we got into this so-called ecomonic meltdown mess and
why the bail out should not occur. I stand by that
article. John McCain and Barrack Obama, the big name
Presidential candidates currently running for office,
stand by a different principle: bailing out the greedy,
the irresponsible, and the corrupt. They supported the
bail out.
The other candidate running for President,
the man who never gets on television and never gets invited
to the debates, Ralph Nader, did not.
As I did in 2004, I will be voting
for Nader in 2008. Only Nader has been brave enough during
his entire career to stand against corporations, politicians,
and the media. Only Nader has been honest and truthful
with the American people, never pandering for votes, never
begging for acceptance, and never relying on the corrupt,
monopolistic two-party political system for anything.
And only Nader has the vision, the discipline, and the
integrity to change the fundamentals of our government
and its adherance to corporate greed.
Like 2004, I will be told that I am
wasting my vote with Nader. But also like 2004, I will
again be doing the right thing: voting for the
best candidate for the job.
On November 4th, are you interested
in voting for the best candidate for the job, too? If
so, then maybe you should give Ralph Nader a listen. He
may not ruffle his brow and call himself a maverick like
John McCain, but nowhere will you find a politician more
likely to stand by principles above all else. And he may
not stir the masses with a booming voice that insists
he is the change and hope that the country needs like
Barrack Obama, but I guarentee he will bring more change
and innovation to the world of politics, government, and
economics than either McCain or Obama. |
