Don't vote!

I am opposed to both Barack Obama and Mitt Romney.

I voted for Obama in 2008, but 4 years later it should be clear to anybody that he is simply a continuation of the disastrous Bush administration. In fact, the resemblance is uncanny.

He kept the same Secretary of Defense until last Summer and followed what was written in the Bush Doctrine, calling for removal from Afghanistan in 2014. His aggressive use of drones and troop surges were a surprise, as all he campaigned on in 2008 was "bringing the troops home". He has even slated some prisoners in Guantanamo Bay for "permanent detention", while stepping up "state secrets", lessening the chance of prosecution for war crimes.

He renewed the nineteen eighty four-ish Patriot Act and even introduced legislature that strip away more citizen freedoms--like NDAA, making Americans subject to detention without trial.

He campaigned on "Making Wall Street accountable". He then re-appointed Bush's pick for Federal Reserve Chairman, Ben Bernanke (after the economic crash that Bernanke so thoroughly failed to foresee).

He kept the Corporate Welfare checks and bailouts flowing, ensuring that nobody would be helped in a poor economy except those that were rich enough to buy reps and change the rules to ultimately destroy it.

He appointed former Monsanto VP, Michael Taylor as senior advisor for the FDA. He surrounded his economic team with Goldman Sach's. He promised to leave alone state-legal marijuana dispensaries and their diverse medical patients, then had the DEA bulldoze their way in, in a surge worse than anything seen under the Bush years.

Yes, he has received unprecedented opposition but at the end of the day he is Commander in Chief of our armed forces and President of this once great nation.

But he is also a proven puppet.

I will not give Mitt Romney the respect by acknowledging him outside of this sentence but I do feel sorry for people that envision him to be a viable candidate.

I supported Ron Paul but have been somewhat displeased with him, and especially his son, lately. I was planning on voting for Jill Stein or Gary Johnson but at this point I've come to realize that the Democrat and Republican teams are on either sideline, basking in all the trash-talk before the "big-game". It appears Americans will never learn that they are being duped-divided and distracted by the two "political parties" which give the illusion of a functioning Government.


I guess George Carlin said it best. "You have no right to complain IF YOU VOTE".

You are simply keeping the house of cards taped to one another, keeping the charade intact. I for one now believe in not voting, not even acknowledging any of these failed representatives and complaining to my fellow citizens non-stop!
