More of the Same?

It seems so sad that we are looking to the Democratic Party for change. We have suffered years of devastation under the tyrannical Bush Regime, and now that the country and middle class have been brought to its knees we need real leadership to get our nation strong again. Unfortunately, all we have to choose from is more of the same.

Many people took to the voting booths last November filled with hope that voting in the opposition party would bring about change, but it didn't. So many women were excited at the idea of Nancy Pelosi as the first female Speaker of the House. American feminists were hoping that a strong female would stand up to the Bush Regime, but women were sorely disappointed. The Democrats have caved into the Bush Regime and aided his cause as much as the Republicans that proceeded them.

We now have a pool of candidates from the opposition party, but the opposition has failed to oppose. Instead of inspiration we find a front runner (i.e. Hillary Clinton) who has taken money from every multinational corporation that is willing to write a check. In fact, her front runner status seems to be quite suspect. Is she really doing well in the polls, or is the media calling her the front runner and championing her campaign as a payback to her husband for the sweeping deregulation he passed during his presidency? Corporations gained a tremendous amount of control over our freedom of the press, because of Bill Clinton, so maybe they feel that promoting his wife is the best way to ensure another cooperative administration.

The only real opposition lies in Dennis Kucinich, but he has already been labeled as an unrealistic radical. Either way, it will be interesting to see how much suffering the American people will endure before they finally decide to use their power to make real change.
