War & Babies: Why we gotta vote for Sanders in 2016 (or not)
Right now, it looks like the worst is going to happen in 2016 -- that
when we Americans go into the voting booths, we're going to be forced to
chose between the Bush Dynasty (which brought us all those disastrous
and criminal wars on Afghanistan and Iraq plus various African wars
including one that led to Blackhawk Down) and the Clinton Dynasty (which brought us all
those disastrous and criminal wars on Haiti, Syria, Libya, Kosovo and
Ukraine). http://www.ezilidanto.com/zili/2015/04/no-hillary-haiti-is-not-for-sale-to-your-family/
In 2016, we Americans are going to be forced to choose between "War" and "More War" -- and when that happens, I'm just gonna barf.

Or perhaps we might be allowed to vote for those king-making Koch
brothers and their Ken-doll evil twin Scott Walker. "Vote for me and
you'll get genetic mutation, fracking and poverty! I've yet to meet an
oligarch, War Street lobbyist or bankster that I didn't like!" proclaims
Walker. Gag me with a spoon.
Yes, the main election slogan for the RepubliDem party in 2016 is
apparently going to be, "Just hold down your vomit and vote" -- along
with, of course, their perennial favorite, "It doesn't matter who you
vote for anyway because we control the voting machines and the
propaganda machines too," as well as their ever-popular "We always
(heart) ISIS, al Qaeda, the UN, Zionists and neo-Nazis because they
always (heart) our gun sales." I think I'm gonna throw up. http://sputniknews.com/columnists/20150422/1021234376.html#ixzz3YFfZQcFJ
Moderate Democratic candidates like Elizabeth Warren and Dennis
Kucinich don't stand a chance of scoring their party's nomination -- and
as for moderate Republican candidates? Bring in the clowns. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Y69MGOprjzw
So this is why I am officially going to vote for Bernie Sanders in 2016 -- and you should too. https://www.facebook.com/Sanders2016.
Senator Sanders is definitely on our side -- or to paraphrase the
Pussycat Dolls, "Don't cha just wish your president was hot like
him!" https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=O5rkgUkdlVg
But no matter which RepubliDem freak gets elected in 2016 -- or even if
by some amazing miracle an actual decent human being like Sanders
does score America's vote, my life is still going to change forever next
week.
"Will you be going off to Yemen or Benghazi or Kiev?" you might ask.
"Or even Washington DC, Ferguson, Baltimore, Juarez or Flora-duh?" Back
to being a war correspondent? That would be so easy. I wish! http://www.counterpunch.org/2015/04/23/weaponizing-information/
No, next week I'm going to become a full-time caregiver for my daughter's new baby.
And Senator Sanders is the candidates most likely to provide our nation
(and me!) with affordable daycare instead of just drowning us all out
in totally unaffordable and unsustainable "war". Have you ever even
priced full-time infink daycare lately? It can cost more than half of
your yearly salary, thank you very much. You might as well go out and
buy a few RPGs or a tank.
So, starting next week, me and baby Sofia are going to be spending
major quality-time together until she starts kindergarten -- unless
Senator Sanders get elected (or I win the lottery) first.
But perhaps baby Sofia might want to become a
war-correspondent-in-training? Because if either the Repubs or the Dems
win the 2016 presidential election, there will always be plenty of
wars. No college or jobs or healthcare for Sofia when she grows up --
but there will still be a hecka lot of wars. By the time our Sofia
turns 18, the entire USA is gonna look like Iraq, Libya or Kiev --
unless we vote for Bernie. http://rt.com/news/251961-ukraine-maidan-snipers-poland/
But if (when) the RepubliDems do get elected in 2016 and Endless War
becomes our new best friend for life, at least I won't be alone. We
Americans are all gonna to end up tossing our cookies, losing our lunch,
saying hello to our new BFF "Ralph" and/or bowing down to the porcelain
throne. https://consortiumnews.com/2015/04/27/syrias-nightmarish-narrative/
PS: My friend Rita just e-mailed me, "Just
a note to say that Sanders always votes for war and military spending.
Look it up. Even Nader is not too happy about that." Oh crap. Not Bernie too. Hell, even Elizabeth Warren doesn't seem to be very much against endless war these days. Poor baby Sofia is gonna have a hard row to hoe.
Is it too late to register with the Green party?
