If he gets back in.

[Garrett Lowell]

Bitter and shrill, are we?

[Bigrock]

Bush is going to be missing quite of few of his current hench men and women. Ie Rice, Powell, Tenet and who knows who else. I expect Rumsfeld wont make another term either.

Where will he find another group of folks so adept at and willing to lie, lie, lie?

I have too much faith in the American people to imagine that he might, conceivably, be re-elected.

[NormMessinger]

I don't know Andrew. You've often had a better insight to the forest than those of us who can't see it for the trees, so to speak, but I worry. This outfit would call a tornado a strategic readjustment if it keeps the lackies in line and fools enough others.

That's all for now. And let me reiterate my promise to stay away from politics :

I will not, under penalty of deep disappointment, engage in any further poltical ranting that involves : the war in Iraq, America's president, or the state of America's public*.

[Bigrock]

I made clear that the writing was some one elses that I cut and pasted. Sorry to get your hopes up. Carry on.

[Gresham CA]

Sorry about that then. I thought the last comments were your's. Carry on.

[Memphis Mike]

He isn't going to get back in Dutch.

[Jack Heinlen]

So youse guys want JFK two, who can't make up his mind, who defamed fellow soldiers in a time of war, who is a prevaricator out the ying yang, over the idiot prince?

I'm shocked to find gambling going on here.

I pray for my country. I love my country. I pray no man on a white horse comes to rescue it. But it needs rescuing from the current political crisis.

Jung and Jungians speak of a crisis of opposites. I've said this before, but when the opposition is well enough heated a third is called. A sort of King Arthur in his better aspects.

We're in trouble with these choices. We know it, the world knows it. God Bless America.

"We're in trouble with these choices. We know it, the world knows it. God Bless America."

We're in deeper trouble if the Dubya is allowed to stay in office. I said he won't get back in and I mean he won't get back in legally. Only an idiot would vote for him and someone who is only concerned with the contents of their pockets. Our country has been sold out to the mega rich. The majority may no longer have any control over who is in office. The next election will tell the tale. If it's a close election and the Dubya wins, I can just about guarantee you there has been more election fraud and cheating just as he did in the last one. The Diebold system is in place. No records, nothing to count.

Its called Plutocracy Mike.

A Plutocracy comprises a government system where wealth is the principal basis of power (from the Greek ploutos meaning wealth).
The influence of wealth on governance can be expressed either via the wealthy classes directly governing, or (more typically) by the wealthy classes using money to control the government. This control can be exerted positively (by financial "contributions" or in some cases, bribes) or negatively by refusing to financially support the government (refusing to pay taxes, threatening to move profitable industries elsewhere, etc).

There have not been many examples of a "true" plutocracy in history as such, although they typically emerge as one of the first governing systems within a territory after a period of anarchy. Plutocracy is closely related to Aristocracy as a form of government, as generally wealth and high social status have been closely associated throughout history.

Right on Donn.

Some folks are so blinded by their hatred of Bush, they'd sell their souls for someone else ...

That is scary ... that is real these days.

If the Bush family had 1/2 the money as the Heinz/Kerry's I could take some of these folks seriously.

Bush doesn't hide who he is ... Kerry is great at playing like he is just a normal guy like the voters! You dem. voters are fools to believe that.

Most of us are healthy, happy, and glad to be Americans! [img]smile.gif[/img]

And "most" is good enough. Only a minority lack adequate wages to live on, lack hearth care, have babies who die early, etc. etc. etc. etc. etc. etc. etc. etc. etc. No sweat. All they need is a little intitive,eh?
