Any notion that he proposes ending the aggression against Iraq and the expropriation of its oil is pure legend.

He is no Lincoln. We do not see him proposing the emancipation of the millions of his own compatriots criminalized for the same low-level drug abuse in which he himself once indulged. We do not see him calling for the reform of our healthcare delivery system. We do not see him engaged in the tax reforms that will end our irresistable trajectory towards becoming a nation split between a few rich and millions of wage-slaves.

This man is an obedient servant of privilege and power. A good talker but not much of a do-er. And it is the mark of the power of the corporate media here that little of this may be mentioned to the electorate. It is the mark of a desperate and ignorant people that they will cast their ballots for this person despite his record.

It may be we North Americans deserve what we are getting, but pity our poor nation caught between a McCain and an Obama.
