George Galloway

This Scot is magnificent.
If the United States of America had one politician with the integrity and the courage of George Galloway, the American people would have half a chance of stemming the tide of the complete collapse of the economy and the starvation and suffering awaiting the middle class and the poor.

The greed of the ruling class has occluded their vision to the point that they have no contingency plan for any popular reaction to the abject failure of the global economic system, any more than they had a plan for a post-invasion Iraq and Afghanistan, so rabid is their lust for obscenely morbid profiteering.
When the numbers of the rich are only 1% instead of 2% of the American population controlling 90% of the wealth, even the deposed from their ranks will be left no choice but to wake up or starve.
Is Xe Corporation large enough to keep the barbarians from the breeching the periphery of the gated McMansion communities and only the wealthiest of those suburbs at that?
Understand this; the person to lead us out of that darkness will need to be able to name the newspapers that they supposedly read to help them make sound policy decisions as a world leader. The Tea Party candidate in Delaware, Christine O'Donnell who is commonly referred to as Sarah Palin's Mini-Me, was unable to name even ONE SUPREME COURT POLICY that she found objectionable although she railed against the Supreme Court through the entire debate. The person needed to lead us out of the darkness of economic and social ruin will need to be considerably more sophisticated than someone, despite having the full economic weight of the ruling class behind her, is so mired in the idealogical quicksand of extremist far-right wing theology that she thinks that a pragmatic policy for a Twenty-First Century political figure is to squander the millions of dollars donated to the supposedly populist Tea Party by a cynical cabal of billionaires. It is embarrassing to watch Christine O'Donnell begin her first professionally produced commercial by announcing, "I am not a witch." Who is her advisor, the ghost of Father Coughlin? Her backwoods extremist followers may take comfort in knowing that she is not a witch and that she in fact will not be riding a broom to work or performing Satanic rituals and sacrifices on the statehouse lawn, or that she isn't a unicorn, a leprechaun or a banshee for that matter, but the Republican voters of Delaware have no choice but to be embarrassed by a fundamentalist from the lunatic fringe of the right-wing Christian camp looking to install the equivalent of a theocracy with all of the charms and the freedoms of the Taliban's Sharia.
Okay, as it turns out that despite her claiming to have had a degree from Fairleigh Dickinson University she did not. She did finish her courses last month after this bagatelle was revealed.
And okay, her father was just a six week fill-in during the finale of a multi-year run rather than the definitive Bozo the Clown as she claimed, an accolade that must be awarded to Larry Harmon, the creator of the franchise and is this not considerably better than being a permanent clown?
In the candidate's case, her anti-masturbation proselytizing began in the 90's and she has continuously been a spokesperson for extremist and reactionary fundamentalist Christian diktats since that time.
The die is cast.
Christine O'Donnell is, in fact, to the shame of the Republican voters of Delaware and Celts worldwide, an embarrassment, an extremist and a permanent clown.
