Where are we here? The 70's? Labour? Conservative? Frankly, here in 2011, they are all one and the same, you can't slip a cigarette paper between their CV's, their education or their policy ideas. The sooner we get away from this idea that there are any real alternatives amongst the parasites we 'elect' the better. They are thieving parasites who will disappear when their scam collapses just as fast as the taxpayer cash they, and their Goldman Sachs allies, have banked over the years.
Every time I hear people trying to separate the LibLabCon I'm reminded of one of the very best Futurama episodes "A Head in the Polls". And not least because Nixon returns as President of Earth.
[One of the candidates,
Jack Johnson, begins the (TV) debate.]
JOHNSON :
It's time someone had the courage to stand up and say: "I'm against those things that everybody hates".[The other candidate is John Jackson.]JACKSON :
Now I respect my opponent. I think he's a good man but, quite frankly, I agree with everything he just said! FRY (on the couch) :
These are the candidates? They sound like clones. Wait a minute. They are clones! LEELA :
Don't let their identical DNA fool you. They differ on some key issues. JOHNSON :
I say your three cent titanium tax goes too far. JACKSON :
And I say your three cent titanium tax doesn't go too far enough! FRY :
If I were registered to vote, I send these clowns a message by staying home on election day and dressing up like a clown.(Thanks to

Frankly, there is no party line. Theft, assistant to global scale theft, speaking gigs, Euro millions and eventual taxpayer funded retirement to somewhere nice - there's your LibLabCon mouthpiece and it's CV. I'm thinking that re-armament is the way to go - not to invade our neighbours but just to force them to deport our swindlers for our lamp post decorations. It's gun boat diplomacy of sorts but I really do want these thieves to stand trial at some point. Can't help but laugh at the reasons we cut off the head of Charles - divorced from reality, borrowing on behalf of the country to enrich his friends and allies..... all sounding a bit familiar ... no taxation without representation ...
