lifted from the Mother Jones article linked above:
Here we go, the patriot Phil Graham has single-handedly driven our financial system to the ground. John McCain, who does not know much about economics, rewards his buddy by making him his economic guru and advisor. Had this happened in the Banana Republic, the citizens of the Banana Republic would have taken to the street in indignation and outrage.
Here in America, the press is totally impervious to the story, many thanks to Mother Jones for reporting it. What our mainstream press is overwhelmed with is whether Obama hanging a flag lapel on his shirt or not and whether his great uncle was at Auschwitz or Buchenwald.
Meanwhile, the average Joe is busy wrapping himself with the flag and watching the trash that the corporate-owned media is tossing at him every night to keep him pacified. In the meantime, Uncle Phil Graham and his junta are busy fleecing America; enriching themselves, their spouses and their corporate masters.
Simple question to the hard-working, less educated white men who are contemplating voting for machismo McCain, who for sure will take us to another war with Iran:
Which is less patriotic; to stick a flag lapel on your shirt, or to bankrupt America by waging needless wars? Which is less patriotic; to go to Rev. Wright's Church or to make billions by stealing our manufacturing jobs and shipping them to china?
Until the hard working, less educated Joe wakes up, smells the coffee and set his priorities straight, Patriots like Phi Graham, his patriot friend McCain, and their corporate masters will drive all of us to an unknown abyss, having our flag lapels on our shirts or not.
