I agree with you and Spike. It really wasn't much of a
choice. Just the illusion of one, which is how
democracies are manipulated these days. The primaries
serve to weed out all the candidates that the elite
don't approve of until you get two "safe" candidates
that will serve their masters well. So you end up with
a Yalee Bonesman hawk marketed as wine drinker running
against a Yalee Bonesman chickenhawk marketed as a
beer drinker. That the stock portfolios of their
respective masters do not completely overlap will make
little difference to the average American. Although I
could see how foreigners might think they have a stake
in it. After all the President can't authorize the use
of cruise missiles against Americans . . . or can he?
