At this point, the American people who support Barack Obama yet complain about taxes, the “war on terror”, the loss of civil liberties, home foreclosures, the rising costs of gasoline, food, and health care, etc., and the criminal conduct of the Bush administration are doing a disservice to themselves by supporting a candidate who has surrounded himself with people who would rather bail out corporations than the poor, working, and lower classes that need help the most. Obama supporters are doing a disservice to themselves financially when they contribute to a campaign that is getting more corporate money than John McCain and are not organizing to pin the campaign into a corner so that it will have to give attention to the policies and values Obama supporters want politicians to attend to. Furthermore, by remaining an Obama supporter (or even a declared undecided), they are stealing votes and attention from Constitution Party candidate Chuck Baldwin, Libertarian Party candidate Bob Barr, Green Party candidate Cynthia McKinney, and Independent candidate Ralph Nader. Democracy can flourish. Americans do have choices other than the lesser of two evils.
Until the chains that bind Americans are broken, the fundamentalist creeds that dominate politics will win.
Every time.
