The Fix Is In (And It Has Been For Over Six Years)

I've been saying for many years that people have to stop pretending that two party primaries aren't fixed. We are nothing more than a country of sleepy consuming dullards being manipulated and marketed to by McDonald's/Federal Government/Military Industrial Complex (insert evil mechanism of choice). Who the two parties "select" to represent us is no different. They offer us choices; "Would you prefer a Whopper or a Big Mac - Hillary Clinton or John McCain" The "sameness" is VERY important. The candidates MUST be the same or, at least, very similar. Only hamburgers are allowed! Those who may want soup or salad or a fruit plate can just piss off. This is America, damn it!
I'm pretty sure that, regardless of all the buzzing bees, Hillary and McCain will ultimately be the candidates and the reason I know this is quite simple. For about six years, the corporate press has been giving both of them tons of free advertising and none of the other candidates have received this kind of constant free national attention because ... the fix is in, as it always is.
When "the dullards" (the kind of people who only follow politics once every four years and who often do so by watching TV) start to decide who they will support in the primaries, they usually resort to voting for whomever they are most FAMILIAR with (with the caveat that this person also be wearing their team's "colors").
For better or worse, Hillary and McCain are those candidates. It is the frightened dullard CENTER who ultimately decide who the two parties will put up and McCain and Hillary have very similar ideals and agendas. After 8 years of impending fascism, the dullards will once again accept one of these well-known Dems or Reps as their champion as if either of them are principled human beings instead of just lobbyist donation receptacles! Stop pretending the two party primaries are real! It just encourages them.
