A Vote For Billary?

I shall not vote for Billary Clinton. I shall not vote for John McCain . One is a neo-Liberal, the other a modern day Republican, neither is worth a half filled spittoon. I do not like Bill Clinton, either. Arthur Schlesinger, Jr. criticised Mr. Clinton back in the 1990's for leaving the Democratic tradition of Andrew Jackson and Franklin D. Roosevelt and John Kenndy, turning instead to the Republican ideal of small, non-interventionist government. This small government lets enormous companies pretty much have their way. The Democratic tradition is summed up in the words of Andrew Jackson: “Government should be administered for the planter, the farmer, the mechanic and the laborer who form the great body of the people of the United States. These classes all know that their success depends upon their own industry and economy, and that they must not expect to become suddenly rich by the fruits of their toils. Yet they are in constant danger of losing their fair influence as a result of the power which the moneyed interest derived from a paper currency which they are able to control and from the multitude of corporations with exclusive privileges which they have succeeded in obtaining in the different states.” It is Time For Change.
