Which Dictators Are Too Awful?

We blogged the other day about how two McCain staffers, including one who was supposed to run the Republican convention in Minneapolis, were booted from the campaign because they had lobbied for the repressive military junta in Burma.

Turns out, the staffer who was supposed to run the convention, Doug Goodyear, was actually McCain's second choice. His first choice was Paul Manafort (naturally, a lobbyist), who had to be removed from consideration because he too had lobbied for authoritarian figures, specifically Philippine dictator Ferdinand Marcos and former Ukrainian prime minister Viktor Yanukovich.

Okay, it's a bit odd that McCain can only seem to find shills for dictators to run his campaign. But what's even more odd is that Charlie Black, one of McCain's most senior and most loyal aides, also worked for Ferdinand Marcos, as we reported yesterday. In fact, he's worked for Marcos, Zaire dictator Mobuto Sese Seko, Somalia's Mohamed Siad Barre, and Nigeria’s Ibrahim Babangida.

Either there is something particularly objectionable about Viktor Yanukovich, or John McCain is willing to selectively punish moral outrage. If you lobby for dictators and are easily replaceable, you're out the door. If you lobby for dictators but you are McCain's right hand man, you get to stay.

We must learn as a country that there are TWO significant political parties -- ONE parasitic party that represent the CAPITALIST COMMUNISTS that work together to hoard the wealth of the nation for themselves, and will egregiously burden the working people, the major part of the COMMON POPULATION; and ONE party that represents the 90% COMMON POPULATION, the working people, who supply a stream of capital to the CAPITALISTS. The common population's party tries to dispense the wealth of the nation equally to the common population to make laws and control prices and wages so the common population will have better lives.

The English know they are the common population, but in the United States because of massive propaganda the common population have come to believe they are equal with the capitalists. It is just not true, except before God. The common population must have laws and representation that will stand up for them and that is what the Democratic Party is suppose to do.

In the United States the dictator group is the REPUBLICANS, and the DLC, who will do ANYTHING to be in power, and the other group is the DEMOCRATS, who must learn to do anything to maintain power.

Hillary & Bill Clinton, although registered as members of the Democratic Party, are ALSO MEMBERS and LEADERS of the DLC, a REPUBLICAN led 20% population organization to defeat and ENSLAVE THE COMMON POPULATION, which is what N.A.F.T.A and C.A.F.T.A and all the rest of the abomination of unequal to the common population trade agreements are intended to do.

The 10% REPUBLICANS are of the opinion that the common population is stupid, but they are absolutely wrong, the 70% COMMON POPULATION is naive and trusting, but is certainly not stupid and will wake up and realize that the REPUBLICAN PARTY intends to become a plutocratic dictator in the United States if the common population keeps following along blindly. No member of the 70% MAJORITY COMMON POPULATION should be a member of the REPUBLICAN PARTY, but should join the Democratic side of the Democratic Party and clean all the DLC REPUBLICANS out of the Democratic Party in the July Congressional Primary. Check with your election board for the correct date of the Congressional Primary in your state.
