Election 2012: Don’t Believe the Hype

A man is no less a slave because he is allowed to choose a new master once in a term of years. – Lysander Spooner

And,  you are all slaves. Most of you just don’t know it, because you aren’t physically shackled, but you are slaves nonetheless.

I freed thousands of slaves. I could have freed thousands more, if they had known they were slaves. – Harriet Tubman

I’m just doing what I can to convince you of this fact.

Tuesday we’ll be given the illusion of practicing Republican Democracy. They have presented us with the choice of two New World Order, international banker controlled slave masters.

It doesn’t matter which one you choose:

Romney worked for Bain Capital. Bain Capital donated money to Obama.

Obama legislated socialist healthcare for the United States. Romney did it for Massachusetts first.

Romney called TARP a good investment. Romney takes credit for Obama’s auto bailout.

Romney agrees with Obama’s TSA policies, the 2012 NDAA, and the Patriot Act renewal.

Neither are veterans and they both went to Harvard.

Romney, just as Obama, supports abortion.

Romney believes, just as Obama, that the President may take this country to war without Congressional authorization.

Both candidates have attended Bilderberg meetings.

This, fellow slaves, is what we call, two sides of the same coin.

Remember this when you go to vote for the better slave master, or the lesser of two evils.

I know it sucks to only have the two candidates to choose from; only two political parties… You may have heard otherwise, but it isn’t true. There are only two parties, two candidates. No one else can or is running for President of the United States:

Stewart Alexander is not running for President under the Socialist Party USA party.

Katheryn Lane is not running for President as a Republican.

Andy Martin is not running for President as a Republican.

Stephen  Rollins is not running for President as an Independent.

Matt Snyder is not running for President as a Republican.

Vern Wuensche is not running for President as a Republican.

Gary Johnson is not running for President under the Libertarian Party.

Roseanne Barr and Cindy Sheehan are not running for President and Vice-President under the Peace and Freedom Party.

Kent Mesplay is not running for President under the Green Party.

Virgil Goode is not running for President under the Constitution Party.

Tom Hoefling is not running for President under the American Independent Party.

James Harris and Maura DeLuca are not running for President under the Socialist Workers Party.

Tom Stevens is not running for President under the Objectivist Party.

Merlin Miller is not running for President under the American Third Position Party.

Andre Barnett is not running for President under the Reform Party USA party.

Jerry White is not running for President under the Socialist Equality Party.

Jim Carlson and George McMahon are not running for President and Vice-President under the Grassroots Party.

Jack Fellure and Toby Davis are not running for President and Vice-President under the Prohibition Party.

Stephen Durham and Christina Lopez are not running for President and Vice-President under the Freedom Socialist Party.

T.J. O’Hara is not running for President under the Modern Whig Party.

Randall Terry is not running for President as an Independent.

Jeff Boss is not running for President as an Independent.

Joe Schriner is not an Independent candidate for President.

You cannot write-in Ron Paul or anyone else’s name on the ballot.

You cannot vote for any of these people because none of these people are Barack Obama or Mitt Romney. These people are not running for President. These people may not even exist. Even if they do exist, even if they were running; you cannot take them or their candidacies seriously because they have not appeared or been talked about on Fox News, CNN, MSNBC, ABC, CBS, The New York Times, USA Today, or any Clear Channel Radio stations.

Do not “waste your vote” on any of these people. They are clearly unqualified.

In truth, in the case of individuals, their actual voting is not to be taken as proof of consent, even for the time being. On the contrary, it is to be considered that, without his consent having ever been asked, a man finds himself environed by a government that he cannot resist; a government that forces him to pay money, render service, and forego the exercise of many of his natural rights, under peril of weighty punishments. He sees, too, that other men practise this tyranny over him by the use of the ballot. He sees further that, if he will but use the ballot himself, he has some chance of relieving himself from this tyranny of others, by subjecting them to his own. In short, he finds himself, without his consent, so situated that, if he use the ballot, he may become a master; if he does not use it, he must become a slave. And he has no other alternative than these two. In self-defence, he attempts the former. His case is analogous to that of a man who has been forced into battle, where he must either kill others, or be killed himself. Because, to save his own life in battle, a man attempts to take the lives of his opponents, it is not to be inferred that the battle is one of his own choosing. Neither in contests with the ballot — which is a mere substitute for a bullet — because, as his only chance of self-preservation, a man uses a ballot, is it to be inferred that the contest is one into which he voluntarily entered; that he voluntarily set up all his own natural rights, as a stake against those of others, to be lost or won by the mere power of numbers. On the contrary, it is to be considered that, in an exigency, into which he had been forced by others, and in which no other means of self-defence offered, he, as a matter of necessity, used the only one that was left to him. – Lysander Spooner
