In Orwell's Animal Farm, the animals who took control of the farm started off with a set of rules, and one of their Commandments was, "All animals are equal." Over time, however, the power-hungry pigs started behaving like their former oppressors and they eliminated all of the Commandments except for the one about equality, which they changed to "All animals are equal. But some animals are more equal than others." Also, If anyone questioned Napoleon, the lead pig on the farm, the sheep were sure to silence him with a tremendous bleating of "Four legs good, two legs bad!" The bleating would continue until all questions were forgotten or dissenters were too intimidated to raise them again. The Animal Farm problem with our current leadership is obvious.

oh, I had forgotten about the bleating chorus.
so like our grassroots libs and the mediots.
I think it is time to reread that wise little book.

"Four legs good, two legs bad!" has been replaced. The new mantra is "Tom CAN"T win, a vote for Tom is a vote for Bustamove!"
But I fear I may be slightly off topic. :-)
