The Electoral College doesn’t necessarily guarantee that the person the voters want to be president will be president.  It does, however, help keep things within the two branches of The Corporacracy. 

Of course, throughout election night, we continuously hear “red” and “blue”, as if they’re the only colors of the spectrum.  Map upon map on lamestream networks is splashed with red and blue. 

The lamestream media isn’t even finished with its report on the presidential race loser’s lame concession speech before it’s asking who the Democrats and who the Republicans are going to run four years hence. 

As if it’s not destructive to destroy Iraq.  As if it’s not destructive to destroy social programs that help people who didn’t make it to the Boards of Directors of Dow Chemical, Hewlett Packard, Monsanto, Panasonic, Sanyo, Mobile/Exxon, BP, etc., etc., etc.,

We can’t get enough people to agree on what has to be done to stop the madness in 2007, but too many are still waiting for Congress, whose members are truly protected by The Electoral College, to do something heroic. 

“Write to your member of Congress, write to your member of Congress, write to your member of Congress”, the same old same old.

No one writes to his or her member of Congress.  They write to college kids doing co-op work for their college Political Science classes or doing intern work, hoping to catch the eye of the boss and move up in the field of politics.  They’re learning how to seriously go one on one with lobbyists.  All are trying to get gold stars and passing on our concerns to the untouchables that we hire isn’t necessarily the way to elbow past the others, stomping on their coworkers/competitors.  Getting the people’s message to Ellen Tauscher or Barbara Boxer or Dennis Kucinich or any one of those phonies, left or right, isn’t going to get “staffers” a gold star. 

What will it take to remove the theatrics from our political system?  It will take opening up the system to people who care and who have a realistic chance of winning.  It will take opening up the debate to people who won’t give a damn about and won’t respond to elementary school like personal attacks.  It will take people who will force the other “players” to talk about the issues and answer the question, “If we do it your way, how will America and it’s citizens succeed?” 

We can win.  We can get our country back.  Working within the system isn’t the way to do it.  Let’s face it, those in the system aren’t even working within the system.  Why the hell should we work within the system when, in reality, there is no more system, merely a delusion of one.
