Murdoch Backs Hillary? George Ure - Urban Survival

Rupert Murdoch is apparently getting a leap on other conservatives by pushing money raising for Hillary Clinton (God spare us!).

I look at how the corpgov money is getting "the fix in early" by throwing money at both the republicorps and the democorps and I find myself agreeing with KABC radio host Doug McIntyre's "Apology from a Bush Voter" column where he observes:

"The two party system has always been clumsy and imperfect, but it has only collapsed once, in the 1850s, and the result was civil war.
I believe, as I have said countless times, the two party system is on the brink of a second collapsed. It’s currently running on spin, anger, revenge, and pots and pots and pots of money.
We’re being governed by paper-mache patriots; brightly painted red, white and blue, but hollow to the core. Both parties have mastered the cynical arts of media manipulation and fund raising. They’ve learned the lessons of Watergate and burn the tapes. They have learned to divide the nation for their own gain. They have demonstrated the willingness to exploit any tragedy for personal advantage. The contempt they have for the American people is without parallel.
This is painful to say, and I’m sure for many of you, painful to read. But it’s impossible to heal the country until we’re willing to acknowledge the truth no matter how painful. We have to wean ourselves off sugar coated partisan lies.
With a belated tip of the cap to Ralph Nader, the system is broken, so broken, it’s almost inevitable it pukes up the Al Gores and George W. Bushes. Where are the Trumans and the Eisenhowers? Where are the men and women of vision and accomplishment? Why do we have to settle for recycled hacks and malleable ciphers? Greatness is always rare, but is basic competence and simple honesty too much to ask? "
With once strong supporters like McIntyre feeling used, we're not surprised to see the latest Bush poll atr 31% approval.

[Apologies to those of us who love Gore (count me in). The McIntyre cited was a former Bushite who was turned by his Fearless Leader's policies. This, however, did not make him green - just a little more truthy. illyia] |
