The Obama cult does not convince me. Like it or not, he is just another corporatist centrist. The return of "Kerry" style political branding. THE MAN with an African-American face. A sophisticated form of liberal deceit disguised with the veneer of identity politics. Neither Obama nor Hillary represent "change", but only the illusion of it. Granted that THE SYSTEM would never allow Ralph Nader to win and will do everything in its power to emasculate his candidacy- but principle is principle. My endorsement for Ralph Nader is directly related to the motto of this blog: "In a time of universal deceit, telling the truth is a revolutionary act."

Good principles are perennial.
