In 2004, I saw bumper stick...Macguffin-<BR/>You said it. <BR/><BR/>In 2004, I saw bumper stickers that said "Re-elect President Gore in 2004."<BR/><BR/>Vikki-<BR/>The evil genius of the conservatives is that they've persuaded (through fear and guile) regular folks to vote against their class interests.<BR/><BR/>Oh, did I say "class?" That's a bad word in this country.<BR/><BR/>Natalie-<BR/>Don't let your head explode! We need your vote next year!<BR/><BR/>Skyler's Dad-<BR/>My guess is that it's because the average American voter can't name their state rep or even congressman, but can tell you the line-up on American Idol tonight.<BR/><BR/>Beth-<BR/>Thanks! Maybe some fact will jar someone's opinion loose.<BR/><BR/>Danielle-<BR/>I agree, it's time to take off the gloves. The stakes are too high.<BR/><BR/>Thanks for the heads-up on the documentary. I'll look for it.<BR/><BR/>And I am considering Kucinich.<BR/><BR/>Monkerstein-<BR/>And I thank you-- high praise, coming from one of my favorite political bloggers.<BR/><BR/>Cheer34-<BR/>I had a feeling.<BR/><BR/>As a former owner of a small business, I imagine you have some choice things to say. To say that this administration has been unfriendly, or at the very least, neglectful of small businesses would be an understatement.<BR/><BR/>I read a few years back that something like 70% of all new jobs are generated by small businesses.<BR/><BR/>Erik-<BR/>To maintain a conservative outlook requires such a high level of lying to oneself, or, as you point out, just utter contempt for your fellow man, it's unbelievable.<BR/><BR/>Frank-<BR/>Absolutely. Thinking of Hoover, his policies were absolutely failed, but he clearly did care about the people of the United States. These assholes don't. They're willing to let the economy slide, allow the murder rate to ratchet up, allow soldiers to die in a pointless war.<BR/><BR/>My father made the acquintance of a neighbor, an older gentleman, in Tennessee. This guy is a WWII vet. he told my father that this is absolutely the worst administration <I>ever</I>-- including Hoover's, whose he can remember.<BR/><BR/>Bubs-<BR/>Thanks. Yes, it'll take decades to sort out the mess-- the economic mess, the damage to centuries-long alliances. And some of it will never be fixed. You can see those "mistakes" at Arlington National Cemetery, or in the long-term care wards of veterans hospitals.Johnny Yenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06561248220244037567noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33543511.post-30480089118153562442007-08-02T07:36:00.000-05:002007-08-02T07:36:00.000-05:00Beautifully written, Johnny, as usual.Beautifully written, Johnny, as usual.Some Guyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06899082993897012313noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33543511.post-74354702132207716832007-08-01T20:45:00.000-05:002007-08-01T20:45:00.000-05:00F*cking A what a great post. Seriously. This is ...F*cking A what a great post. Seriously. This is what happens when you get people who hate government, and you put them in charge of one. You see the deliberate indifference to whether or not anything functions at all, as long as profits are maximized for a few cronies.<BR/><BR/>Frank's comment, sadly, is dead-on. It will take years to correct this mess, and the instant that the next (hopefully Democratic) occupant of the White House tries to change anything he or she will face a constant chorus of attacks from the right wing noise machine. <BR/><BR/>I'm going to go buy some more guns and canned goods.

It goes to great lengths explaining how our income taxes do not pay for infrastructural systems but only the interest on the deficit and also how the income tax is illegal and unconstitutional as it is appropriated specifically. <BR/><BR/>I think the best thing to do would be to study Republican politicking techniques and use them, they are effective and it is time to turn this shit around, now. <BR/><BR/>We always hear about our faults being paid for by our children and that has been never more true than now. We are globalized now, the consequences are running deep and will affect everyone, I have no doubt at all.<BR/><BR/>It does make your head hurt. I often have to take political breaks to keep my sanity! But know I am obligated to return.<BR/><BR/>Some people yell at the television during sports, I yell at news, press conferences and documentaries.<BR/><BR/>As always...Daniellehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03836716475835685334noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33543511.post-75650621282368652552007-08-01T11:48:00.000-05:002007-08-01T11:48:00.000-05:00Excellent.
