Dilbert on politics…
Whether Bush versus Kerry or Corker versus Ford these two cartoons sum up nicely our current political system. Does it ever seem that you only have a choice between the two worst choices?

I’m using Firefox. Your “SayUncle Premium Ad” pane covers the right hand of the comic.

No Shit. I think the whole system is broken. Only crappy candidates can run. Nobody with a real life and responsibilities can afford to spend millions of dollars on a job that pays thousands. I hate with every fiber of my being having to vote for the least disgusting person. But what else can I do? Can’t let the more rabid among us vote for the other moron. Que cera cera.

Despite Sean Hannity’s protestations to the contrary, Bush was elected twice only because the other guys were so much worse. I don’t know what the correct answer is to this crap, but I do know this isn’t it.

dunno, I’d say everything looks bad the longer you stare at it. I certainly have enough skeletons in my closet that I’d be eviscerated by the press, yet I’d like to think I could be an honest Rep.
Maybe Bush was the straight-up guy that you’d ‘like to have a beer with’, Gore the smart technocrat, Kerry the war hero – and we’re all just whining cynics?

Especially at the top levels, our elections are controlled by the Council on Foreign Relations. The candidates (like Bush and Kerry, Clinton and Dole prior to that and prospective front-runners Hillary Clinton and John McCain) are all either agents or puppets of the globalist agenda. They have minor differences to make people think they’re getting a big choice, but otherwise they are all for more government command and control, open borders, amnesty for illegals, handing over our soveriegnity to globalist trade tribunals (NAFTA, CAFTA, WTO, FTAA) and for global interventionism where American treasure and blood is expended for things other than defending our nation and our Constitution.
All one has to do is check the roster of the relatively tiny elite of the CFR and see that the top level polticians of both polticial establishments are memebers along with the major media persons who CONTROL the flow of information and opinion to the masses along with the international banking cabal. If aany other organization had an overwhelming influence at the top levels of government, it would be amjor story among the mainstream media, but when one with a few thousand members controls our elections–it’s no big deal except to label people who say what I’ve just written as “conspiracy theorists”. Yes, it’s conspiracy according to the dictionary definition, but it’s FACT–according to their own words:
“In politics, nothing happens by accident. If it happens, you can bet it was
planned that way.” –Franklin D. Roosevelt
“The New World Order will have to be built from the bottom up rather than
from the top down…but in the end run around national sovereignty, eroding it
piece by piece will accomplish much more than the old fashioned frontal
assault.”
–CFR member Richard Gardner, writing in the April l974 issue of the CFR’s
journal, Foreign Affairs.
“In defense of the world Order, U.S. soldiers would have to kill and die. … We are not going to achieve a New World Order without paying for it in blood, as well as in words and money.”
— Arthur Schlesinger, Jr., July/August 1993 issue of Foreign Affairs (Flagship Publication of the CFR)
“It will represent the most creative step toward a new world order taken by any group of countries since the end of the Cold War, and the first step toward an even larger vision of a free-trade zone for the entire Western Hemisphere.” NAFTA “is not a conventional trade agreement, but the architecture of a new international system. …NAFTA is a major stepping stone to the New World Order.” —Henry Kissinger. 1993
On May 4, 1993, Council on Foreign Relations (CFR) president Leslie Gelb said on The Charlie Rose Show that:
“…you [Charlie Rose] had me on [before] to talk about the New World Order! I talk about it all the time. It’s one world now. The Council [CFR] can FIND, NURTURE, and begin to PUT PEOPLE in the kinds of jobs this country needs. And that’s going to be one of the major enterprises of the Council under me.”
“The Council on Foreign Relations (CFR) is the American Branch of a society which originated in England … (and) … believes national boundaries should be obliterated and one-world rule
established.”– Professor of History Carroll Quigley (mentor of Bill Clinton by his admission), Georgetown University, in his book “Tragedy and Hope”.
“We are grateful to The Washington Post, The New York Times, Time Magazine
and other great publications whose directors have attended our meetings and
respected their promises of discretion for almost forty years. It would have been
impossible for us to develop our plan for the world if we had been subject to
the bright lights of publicity during those years. But, the work is now much
more sophisticated and prepared to march towards a world government. The
supranational sovereignty of an intellectual elite and world bankers is surely
preferable to the national autodetermination practiced in past centuries.”
— David Rockefeller, founder of the Trilateral Commission, in an address to a
meeting of The Trilateral Commission, in June, 1991.
The Trilateral Commission doesn’t run the world, the Council on Foreign Relations does that!”
–Winston Lord, Assistant Secretary of State, the U. S. State Department
“It is the sacred principles enshrined in the UN Charter to which we will henceforth pledge our allegiance.”
George Herbert Walker Bush, Speech at the UN, February 1, 1992
“Let us resolve to make our government a place for what Franklin Roosevelt called ‘bold, persistent experimentation’. There is NO longer a clear division between what is FOREIGN and what is DOMESTIC, the world economy, the world environment, the world AIDS crisis, the world arms race, they effect us all. Today, as an Old Order PASSES, the New World is more free but less stable. When the will and conscience of the INTERNATIONAL COMMUNITY is defied, WE will ACT with FORCE when necessary.” –Bill Clinton, January 20, 1993
“The desire for patriotism is considered an enemy doctrine. The U.S. armed forces must be prepared to fight against all those who oppose the New World Order and who are holding out for nationalism. This new warrior class is most dangerous because they consist of those who fight out of strong religious beliefs. There is a world-wide class of patriots who number in the millions, and if the current trend continues, they may be more of these who love freedom and are now the target of the New World Order. You cannot bargain and compromise with these warriors. We, as the military, need to commit more training time to counter these warrior threats. We must have an active campaign to win over the populace. This must be coupled with irresistible violence. –Major Ralph Peters, Deputy Chief of Staff for Intelligence, 1994 in a position paper called “Warrior Class”
Remarks by the Vice President to the Council on Foreign Relations
12:30 P.M. EST Feb.15, 2002 http://www.whitehouse.gov/vicepresident/news-speeches/speeches/vp20020215.html
THE VICE PRESIDENT: Thank you. Thank you very much. Well, Les and Pete, I want to thank you all for the warm welcome today. I see a lot of old friends in the room. And it’s good to be back at the Council on Foreign Relations. As Pete mentioned, I have been a member for a long time, and WAS ACTUALLY DIRECTOR for some period of time. I NEVER MENTIONED THAT when I was campaigning for re-election back home in Wyoming — (LAUGHTER) — but it stood me in good stead. I valued very much my experience and exposure to the tremendous people involved, and the involvement in the ideas and the debates and the great policy issues of the day. (“Les” is Leslie Gelb)
