Just when you think some may be different, I learn that all politicians really are the same.
As reported in Newsweek recently, a law student wearing a headscarf was barred from sitting in camera view during a Barack Obama speech in Detroit. The student, Hebba Aref, was forcibly moved out of the area.
Oh, no! People might think she's muslim. And what happens if a muslim is seen near Obama. That could be bad for the polls. What if our numbers go down? Oh, no! Move the girl now. Screw what we stand for and everything we've said. They're just words anyway. We gotta worry about our image.
The girl later said, "I felt like I was discriminated against by the very person who was supposed to be bringing this change."
If a candidate really wants to bring about change, he or she would break off all affiliations with the Republican or Democratic parties and campaign as an independent. True change will only come once the two-party stranglehold on the country comes to an end.
Vote Nader. Vote Barr. Just don't go for the dumb Dems or the ragin' Repubs.
