Republicans’ “Internet Freedom Act” would wipe out net neutrality

You sound as if you honestly believe there's any meaningful difference between the two parties. As if republicans are the only ones that sell their political power to corporations. As if republicans are the only ones that keep us in unconstitutional wars. As if republicans are the only ones that put Wall Street scumbags in positions of power. As if republicans are the only ones that bailout their friends in return for financial favors come time to run for office again. As if republicans are the only ones with a mouthpiece specifically built to further their cause.

Hey, remember when Chris Matthews got a tingle up his spine for Obama? Remember when Bill Maher gave $1,000,000.00 to the Obama campaign?

Come on now. Let's face it. Republicans and democrats have been tag teaming our un-lubed asses for the last century. They use their talking heads to convince Americans they're different by arguing about shit that doesn't really matter to most Americans when the fact is they hold hands and walk in lock step to keep out dissenting opinions and sign contracts so the insider candidates that do the dirtiest backroom deals get tapped on the shoulder and know who is asking which questions to whom and they call it "debates". Two names illustrate my point; Ron Paul and Dennis Kucinich. And let's not forget the ever marginalized Ralph Nader and Ross Perot.

The two controlling political parties are private organizations. One has picked Hillary Clinton, the other Jeb Bush. It will always be the establishment versus you and me. Because it's the establishment that gives MSNBC and FOX their marching orders. And it's the establishment that knows what's going to happen before it happens. And it's the establishment that owns the narrative that they're doing what they do for us all the while refusing to allow the truth about their selfish motives to be aired because they're all in on this same deranged game where they're the predetermined winners and we're the predetermined losers. It's self fulfilling prophecy.

But, by all means, let's just focus on the fucking republicans instead of banding together to put them all out of business...
