CBS is becoming more and more like Faux News and Clinton isnt even pretending she represents the 99%. She knows the game is rigged. Americans think they live in a Democracy because they get to vote. Yeah, between Wall Street Clinton and Wall Street Christie. Now dont get me wrong. Clinton and Christie are not the same. That's the mistake Nader made. No Clinton is female, Christie is male, Clinton is blond and Christie is heavy. Clinton likes bagels and Christie likes donuts. They are definitely not the same.

Some say the hell with the slow boiling of the frog via Conservative Clinton, go with Christie and the heat gets turned up and maybe the frog will figure it out and jump the hell out of the pot. Wishful thinking. The Powers To Be will just put the lid on the pot.

Bottom line is that Clinton and Christie are not the same, but the frog dies either way.

The corporatocratists have their foot on our throat. If anyone can envision a way out, please enlighten me.
