3. The Corporate Coup is almost complete. How did this happen? Didn't we elect Democrats to STOP it?

At least when the Bush War Criminals were getting ready to start their illegal war, the LEFT was out there, doing everything they could to try to stop them.

Now there is a deafening silence.

So I'm thinking that the opposition from the Left wasn't entirely for principles, that much of it was purely political.

Is there any opposition from the Right btw? I haven't seen any. So I guess at least they are consistent in their support for war.
