They Might Be Giants
Edited on Sat Jan-12-08 02:08 PM by Mythsaje
Lumbering beasts roam the countryside, consuming whole communities in a single gulp, leaving their toxic excrement wherever it may fall. Any ordinary citizen who attempts to stand in their way is either kicked aside or squashed flat. The rule of law meant to protect us has been overturned, and they have their way again and again and again. They bully or bribe those we elect to defend us, chew their way through any obstacle, and lie outright in their bellowing voices when anyone tries to take them to task.

I'm not opposed to corporations...but I am opposed to the political power they've been allowed to wield. And I plan on continuing, day after day, to expose and criticize not only them, but those who enable them to continue what they're doing.

Their hands are covered in the blood of innocents, and their breath stinks like a charnel house from all the lives they've consumed. They dominate, not negotiate.

It's time we chopped them down at the knees.

John Edwards for President.

Because he gets it.

Can't see why Edwards isn't everyone's first choice. He the only one who will deliver real change.
