Poignantly phrased to shift the burden of the blame
Sick and tired but you keep on marching in their same old parade
Accuse, construe - dare I even venture - abuse,
Frustrations channelled through the paths worn well with use
Binary politics, packaged sound bite rhetoric;
And you think it makes no difference?
Watered down party lines, beholden to corporate ties;
And you still inquire why?
Maybe you can tell me when my vote was decided for me?
Oh, oh… Oh ,oh
I guess the enemy of the enemy, is still the fucking enemy
Oh, oh… Oh ,oh.
And one more time around,
The played out reasons why:
“Jack knife the diesel to let the bicycle pass on by”
Reproaching failed attempts
At restoring representative government
This poli-earthquake is long over due
Plastic smiles and candy lies,
Prestige built on family ties;
And you find it so offensive.
Dirty mouths and muddied hands,
Promises written in sand;
Still every election you comply?
Maybe you can tell me when my vote was decided for me?
Oh, oh… Oh ,oh
I guess the enemy of the enemy, is still the fucking enemy
Oh, oh… Oh ,oh.
A pointed finger, a furrowed brow,
Relying on the way’s it’s been,
To get us through the now
A waning courage, just play it safe.
Well this is where safe’s landed us: The problems of today!
Reach out a broken hand! - You have the right to make demands!
Reach out a broken hand! - We have the right to make demands!
Maybe you can tell me when my vote was decided for me?
Oh, oh… Oh ,oh
I guess the enemy of the enemy, is still the fucking enemy
Oh, oh… Oh ,oh.

Dear Lefty: Come on Naders platform being virtually identical to the Dems is ridiculous!
1. Nader is for a living wage
2. Nader is for universal health care
3. Nader was the only anti war campaign in 2004, and dont even say Kerry was anti war you know better than to say that
4. Nader does not accept corporate donations unlike the corporate whores that are the Dems
5. Most importantly Nader is a true independent. Wouldn’t you honestly like to finally see this happen instead of Dems and Reps having to worry about answering to the heads of the party
6. The Democrats are anti-democratic spending millions of dollars in several states to bring suit to keep Nader off the ballot, and thus drain the funds of the Nader campaign and not allow the public to vote for whom they choose
7. Nader is not a career politician and thus we could see a person with a non profit background gain power, maybe just for once
8. Didnt Clinton (a Dem) back NAFTA? So how has that worked out for us?
9. Please Please Please explain how the Dems have been partners in the Drug War which has cost us billions and arrested millions, and has affected minorities especially, while Nader is against the illegal wasteful Drug War makes them similar
10. Nader is fully for campaign finance reform, the Dems are not (although many are). I must say here that I really like John McCain and if I was too vote for a major party candidate it would be him.

In These Times you once told me that you told the stories that the corporate media doesnt tell, well thats partly true but by becoming a whore for the Dems (look at the number of recent articles that deal with how the Dems can improve compared to how we as progressives in general can improve) we have too wonder what about the stories you dont tell?
1. When has www.inthesetimes.com spoken of the horrific drug war? Please someone tell me the last time its gotta be at least many months if not a year
2. What about the fight for representation in Congress for the mostly black district of columbia (more info at www.dcvote.org)
Think about these two more too come
And please think of your own and post them lets turn www.inthesetimes.com back to a proud liberal progressive read and not something which the Democrats stamp of approval is needed for

its about time daley is getting into trouble. His famiy is the most corrupt, and he has done nothing for the people of chicago. Daley, worse than other democrats, heolps those who are wealthy and does not take into account the low income residents. His worst action was when He got rid of the housing projects without having a place to house the residents. He has stolen money for years and is finally getting what he deserves. Jesse Jackson Sr. is a self serving civil right leader, lets just hope his son is better then he.

What does industry watchdog Nader have to do with the Chicago mayoral race? And what part of a Jesse Jackson, Jr. candidacy doesn’t support progessive ideals? Fek Nader: his song is out of tune.
Posted by Tim Christopher on Aug 4, 2005 at 11:15 AM
The fact remains, however, that Nader isn’t considering running for mayor of Chicago. What IS pertinent is whether you would support a Jesse Jackson, Jr. candidacy and how the outcome of such a race would effect progessive politics across the land as we count down to November 2008, when the earth moves again.

Dear Lefty:
Ive heard you time and time again accuse people of being republican trolls, or neo cons trying to divide and conquer maybe in the past you were right but I am none of these things. Its sad that Dems think that all liberals have too follow them blindly and anyone who supports an independent or speaks bad of the Dems is a republican.

If Nader had stayed out of the 2000 presidential race Gore would have carried Florida unambiguously and would have become President. He would now, most likely, be in his second term. As a result we would not be bogged down in the Iraq quagmire. American soldiers and Iraqi women and children would not be getting killed and injured. The Supreme Court would not be in the process of being filled by right wing anti-choice pro-corporate crony judges, the Federal Government would not be running huge deficits, and programs for the poor would not have been cut.
Ralph Nader has done a tremedous amount of harm to this country. He has shown how much damage well-intentioned but clueless ideologues can do if they are at the wrong place at the right time.

Any dynasty, such as the Daleys loses track of what it is there to do in the first place, GOVERN for the benefit of the people! Daley and his father have always shown a preference to cozying up to the establishment rather than actually helping people. I think Jesse Jackson, Jr. would make an excellent mayor of Chicago.
