Furthermore, Chomsky adds that such struggles “must be waged every day, not just once every four years, always with the goal of creating a genuinely responsive democratic society, from the voting booth to the workplace.”

A McCain win does not necessarily constitute a win for Republican ideas. And vice versa.

What we do between now and the next election could effectively make a McCain administration ineffective in the same way that what Republicans do during an Obama administration could make an Obama administration ineffective.

Illusions about Obama must be suspended if we are to move forward so, for third party voters and others, in these final days before the election I will write a series of articles on “the differences” and on third parties that continues the work I did earlier when talking about third party voters being “parasites” surfaced.

This slur (yes, slur, do you see me calling anyone a namby pamby liberal?) leveled at those with the courage and fortitude to stake out and work towards a way out of this mess is unwarranted and perverse.

For those of you who get that McCain-Palin are bad and want to quit beating a dead horse, turn to my writings in the final days before this election. I will talk about Obama and McCain and this two-party system which we must deal with now and during the next administration.
