There is another choice in the presidential election: Ron Paul. He is still on the ballot; never dropped out; just ran out of money. He had his convention in Tampa the same time as the RNC. Only media that aired it was C-span. Don’t count him out; he is for the Revolution!

I wasn’t around for the Last Great Oppression. However, these are the worst economic conditions I have ever seen. I don’t blame Bush for this. I blame the current administration. The banks have received countless trillions from the U.S. TAXPAYERS thanks to the current administration who have done nothing to stop this ongoing robbery. Obama is fixing fraud with more fraud. This is worse than what F.D.R. did with his SOCIALIST FIXES FOR FRAUD….Obamas fixes are much more severe and oppressive… Obamas fixes are COMPLETE COMMUNISM…I don’t love Romney, however, he is the ONLY other choice and Obama doesn’t need to be handed another 4 years to finish this country off.

I wonder if Alan would take credit for advocating conditions that have created an economic nightmare. His words are still taken as gospel by the Wall Street Sociopaths. The people who work for a living must be held in fear of job loss. And subsequently the loss of everything else, including the big prize that always has extractive value, their shelter. Consider that the American experience today, is ever closer to a form of open air prison, where the less wealthy are routinely criminalized, and the information technology based financial parasites set the rules and get away with everything, doing “God’s work” as they arrogantly proclaim.
If we are in a Depression, indications are that “our” Government is much more authoritarian and brutal, the media much more obligated to keep bad economic news suppressed. It’s time to wrestle back some Democracy, we can’t have the free-reign of thieves if there is to be any recovery. The predator bandits are still out there, still employed in the financial sector, still responsible and still not held accountable.
