Elections update

August 30 2008

We have egg on our face again, because John McCain picked Sarah Palin for his running mate for vice-president, not Pawlenty.

Palin does not have great international significance. She is just a shrewd domestic political choice by McCain, at least as far as anyone can tell looking at scant information available.

Very lately the Democrats have been attacking the proletariat to prove their worthiness in the upcoming election. There seems to be a calculated effort to annoy us on as many little fronts as possible. They have yet to come clean with public admissions on their role in domestic spying for example. It's a method of operation whereby the Republicans claim to be monarchists without their base's knowing or objecting, but the Democrats claim to be something they are not.

We look around the whole world and see where there is anti-war progress and where there is not. In Iraq, for example, we see "time horizons." On the other hand, there is a place where there has been a conspicuous absence of progress. Then we look at who is in the government in that place, and who is not, and we draw conclusions. We draw these conclusions; even though, we ourselves oppose voting.

That problem may change next month, but for now especially we have to conclude where the problem really is. We hope that soon we will be able to say that things are moving generally in the proletarian anti-war direction, without specially created obstructions.

The 2000 and 2004 elections were very close. There will be resentments against MIM's website for being the largest traffic one in the "socialist" category and to the left of that. The Democrats have succeeded in coercing the other "communist" parties into their camp. It's not surprising ideologically though, because in common they all share the idea that at least 51% of Amerikans are exploited and worth winning over for their supposedly progressive thrust.
