Homestead mailing list

[Lynn Wigglesworth <lynnw1366 AT hotmail.com>]

He's a Democrat because his goal is to get elected. He couldn't be 
elected dog catcher running on a DSP or NP ticket. The same reason 
McCain is a Republican and not a representative of that right-wing group 
that advocates overthrowing foreign governments (forgot the name). Both 
candidates have been involved with some questionable, extreme groups and 
people.

What worries me more is who they've taken money from and are beholden 
to. I suspect that greedy bankers and companies like Monsanto and 
pharmaceutical companies have their hooks deeper in the candidates than 
fringe political groups. Monsanto and Novatis gaining more power scares 
me more than some nutty socialist group.
