Democracy or Dynasty

Does it strike you as strange that the last three presidents have come from the same two families, and that one of the front-runners is from one of them, too? At the end of the current administration, there will have been twenty years of Bushes and Clinton. If H. Clinton (we want to avoid the "Hilary problem" here) were to be elected president next year, there would be at least four more years of these two families. This is a very large country. Surely there are more possible presidential candidates from many other families. These two families represent nothing but various shades of right wing more of the same. They are pro-Iraq-Occupation, and great friends of corporate America. H. Clinton served on the board of WalMart for eight years.

A new slogan: Let's be a country, not an empire.
