THE REAL POLITIK EDITION: ISSUE 50, VOLUME 77
I HATE YOU, A LITTLE
by Malik Isasis



Republicans revel in their conservatism and fascism like happy pigs rooting in shit. Whenever they are in power, they never shy away from appointing conservatives, or neocons to positions of power. Yet, when the Democratic Party are in power they run from liberalism, or progressivism in an effort to be bi-partisan, which means absolutely nothing—because Republicans would rather cut their throats and watch them bleed out. Democrats put Republicans into their administration, confirming the mythology of the Democrats’ weakness.

Whenever we vote Democrats into power it is always a rain of disappointment. It is why people loath politians as much as they do. The Democrats took charge of congress in 2006. We didn’t expect that the Democrats would change a systemically-broken political system in 24 months, however, Democratic supporters weren’t expecting the Democrats to continue to give George Bush and his flying monkeys the resources of the government to continue to carry out torture, domestic spying, and expansion of the Iraq occupation, and covert military aid to Turkey in bombing Northern Iraq. The new Democratic majority, despite Americans’ strong opposition to Bush’s policies, has sustained Bush’s policy of death and fear.

The Democratic Leadership Representative Nancy Pelosi of California and Senator Harry Reid of Nevada have been about as affective as an extra thumb. Bush has clubbed them like baby seals, dragging their bloody corpses onto a heap of irrelevance. The spinelessness of the Democrats is why so many people are cynical about change, and voting. Democrats and Republicans are opposites of the same coin; they’ll do anything to maintain power. The Democrats are no better than their rightwing brethren if they are allowing the country to fall apart and people to die so that they can be elected. It appears this was a strategy, giving Bush enough rope not to only hang himself, but the rest of us too.

Change We Can Believe In

After eight years of George Bush, and twelve years of Republican governance I don’t have patience for Obama trying to appease any Republicans and their corporate media with so-called bi-partisanship. Bipartisanship really means Republicans get what they want and the rest of us living with the consequences of backward-looking policies.

Obama has filled his administration with neoliberals (Democratic Leadership Council), who are no better than their counterparts, neoconservatives; they both believe in neocolonialism, which means more wars, occupations and corporate destruction of unions. Just as House Leader Nancy Pelosi took impeachment of Bush off the table, Obama will take indicting Bush officials including Bush, off the table. Bush will get away with crimes against humanity.

The best predictor of past behavior is future behavior. Democrats will appease the Republicans because they are one in the same, one is just nicer, but we still get fucked in the end, so being nice doesn’t really mean shit, does it?

Shills, Operatives, and Flying Monkeys

The infiltration of corporate shills disguised as democratic consultants have driven the party out of the interests of the people and into the interests of corporate power. Just as the neoconservatives have subverted the Republican Party, neoliberals whose belief that the economy [think globalization] should be transferred from the control of the public sector to the private sector, has and is subverting the Democratic Party. Either way, we the people are left with our trousers at our ankles.

The Democratic Leadership Council (notice the page and how proud they are to be in Obama’s administration) was founded in 1985 to introduce a “third way” of winning by turning Democrats away from populism and toward globization. The DLC’s theory of winning was only reinforced when former President Bill Clinton, the council’s most well known neoliberal won two presidencies.

The DLC members read like the Who’s Who of Democrats. President Bill Clinton, Senator Hillary Clinton, Vice-President Al Gore, Senator Joseph Lieberman, Representative Harold Ford, Jr., Senator Diane Feinstein, Senator John Kerry, well known Democratic political operative Terry McAuliffe and many more—see the list for yourself, here. Investigate any of these Democrats' records and you will find broad support of globalization, support for the Iraq invasion and occupation and corporate interests. All of these Democrats have sold their souls to become meatpuppets of the corporate lobbyists. Al Gore has since defected from the DLC and deprogrammed himself.

The DLC’s “third way” hasn’t worked in two presidential cycles [2000’s election was stolen] and four congressional cycles, yet they’re like someone playing the same numbers because it hit once. Bush and his flying monkeys fucked up so badly that the Congressional election of November 2006 the Democrats were able to limp their way into power. The Democratic consultants have pushed the Democratic Party into almost irrelevance. The leadership in the party don’t make a move without first putting a finger to the wind. Almost every choice is calculated based on a cost benefit analysis.

Susan Estrich, Pat Cadall, Juan Williams, Tammy Bruce on Fox News and a host of other Democratic consultants on CNN and MSNBC are professional bullshitters, and sellout the party roots by sustaining political status quo, in order to sustain corporate interests. They puke their bile on the airwaves day after day, after day like an airborne virus infecting, constantly infecting.

In a move to remake themselves into former President Ronald Reagan, members of the Democratic Leadership Council have created a Frankenstein monster who lacks identity. This Frankenstein monster has developed a co-dependence, it needs approval of Republicans for its esteem. The DLC and their political hackery have sacrificed the Constitution for the sake of power and the maintenance of power.

The Co-op of the Democratic Party by corporatism has completed the assimilation program by multinationals, and has illuminated the limitations of a two-party system. The use of post bi-partisanship or bipartisanship is covering the smell of shit with air freshener. The shit is still their even though you may not smell it.
