How is it a democracy when you don't even know who you're voting for? |
|
From CNN front page-->
'The concept of democracy appears to have taken root in the dusty town of Karma, a predominantly Sunni community just north of Falluja - the city at the center of fierce fighting last year. Although most say they don't know who the candidates are or where to go to vote, they say they will vote come January 30 -- for a variety of candidates for a variety of reasons.'
Fucking propaganda by CNN!!!

2. Well, they said it wouldn't be perfect. And anyway here in the US |
|
we have the names out and they are on the ballot but we're still not sure who we really voted for what with Diebold and all the other stuff.
So kinda makes you wonder...where the hell is Democracy when it comes to voting anyway..

3. Welcome to the Twilight Zone... |
|
A place where democracy means casting a blank ballot, where the total destruction of a nation is deemed progress, where a man named George Bush believes he is the "leader of the Free World."

4. Cheaper to just do it this way |
|
than to ship all those Diebold machines over there and have to go through the motions.
Gotta save money, Bush needs another 80 billion to stuff up his ass.

Democracy, much like the decades old sanctions against torture, has been rendered "quaint".
