Bush Loses Election
by andy Saturday, Nov. 06, 2004 at 6:29 AM

Bush lost the election because the candidate who best represented his interests, John Kerry, lost.

George W. Bush lost the 2004 Prsidential Election last Tuesday.

Not Bush the candidate, that would be silly, and unproveable. These were never intended to be free elections in the first place. Ask Ralph Nader. Or if you could go back in time, ask Victor Berger, the duly elected Socialist Party candidate from Milwaukee who was denied his seat in Congress in 1918 because he was against he war. But I digress.....

Bush, the member of the Ruling Class, lost the election because the candidate who best represented his interests, John Kerry, lost.

Despite all attempts by the AFL-CIO and "progressives" to paint John Kerry as a "friend of the working people" its clear he was just a representative of the capitalist class -- and a very smart one. With his economic program he was trying to save that class. On many issues, such as the Iraq war and Israeli occupation, he was just Bush Lite.

Bush, on the other hand, is not a very smart capitalist. He is outspoken in removing the facade of 'democracy" that the ruling class gains so much by preserving. He is destroying the underpinnings of "the" economy. I should say "THEIR economy". He has tied up all the reserves of the imperialist military machine in an unwinnable war in Iraq.

With his clumsiness Bush has pushed the capitalist system 10 or 20 years further alng the curve toward its destruction. If only there was an alternative present in the minds of the people.

So if Kerry had won, Bush and his class would have done better. He's a loser.

Sure you can reprint it. Its Indymedia. Everybody copies anything. You don't even have the "joy of stealing" for doing it.
