Like the puppet government of German-occupied France (ca. 1940-1944), the Democrats in congress are controlled by the fascist Republicans - fascist because they are no longer 'Goldwater Conservatives', who would stand for isolationism, fiscal responsibility and a government that would not intrude in a person’s private life. Fascist because today’s Republicans are Neo-Conservatives who are bent on strengthening the unholy marriage of Corporate America with Government, fomenting wars of convenience, and the destruction of anything in their path. And fascist because they sanction torture and rendition, and the shredding of habeas corpus, posse comitatus, international law, and the Geneva Conventions.

I first supported Kucinich, then Edwards, and finally Obama. I opposed Clinton not because of gender, but because I view the Clinton-lead DLC as the Republican arm of the Democratic party. Bill Clinton governed as an 'Eisenhower Republican' – he was far from liberal: note NAFTA, WTO, the Telecommunications Act, and so-called Welfare Reform."
