That's EXACTLY what was said about George Bush in 2000.
...and you see where THAT got us. Too much ambition and greed for money and power, and not enough brains, compassion, or forethought. Is that what AMERICA and AMERICANS are all about? WTF?
*USA PATRIOT ACT. Unconstitutional and the beginning of the end for our Bill of Rights.
*Gasoline's price doubled under WHAT party? What's their answer? Continuing tax breaks and land giveaways (drill on MY beautiful COAST? F**K YOU!) to the oil companies that have posted their greatest profits EVER. It's good to have oilmen in the White House...for oil companies, anyway.
*9/11 happened on WHOSE watch? We have the most sophisticated electronic surveillance apparatus in the world, and we couldn't stop a bunch of mostly SAUDI men with box cutters? Again, WTF? Oh, and where's Osama?
*Iraq had no WMD's and no intention nor capability of attacking us (c'mon, we're the SOLE SUPERPOWER, right?), and yet, we're poised to spend more than $2 TRILLION for invading and occupying it for the next few years. (I won't bother mentioning McCain's ease in saying we could be there for even a 100. Ooops....) We've already spent $500 BILLION dollars there. Where's most of the money for this grand clusterf**k coming from? Our children and grandchildren will be paying it back to the PEOPLE'S REPUBLIC OF CHINA! Yeah, the Commies! They own $503 billion of our debt, with Japan leading the way with $583 billion, btw. After all the fear mongering and red-baiting of the latter part of the 20th Century, the "enemy" now has us by our economic short hairs, courtesy of tax breaks for the rich and corporations and 2 very expensive wars. Enriching war profiteers AND China/Japan at our expense, is THAT American? 4150 of our brave soldiers have DIED in Iraq, and for what? NOT for our American freedoms, that's for sure.
*Mercenaries on the ground in America doing police work during Katrina, taking guns out of the hands of law-abiding citizens trying to protect what little they had left? Where's our National Guard? That's right, in Iraq, protecting OIL FIELDS and working next to MORE mercs making 10x what the average grunt makes. Ask our friends in Central and South America how they feel about paramilitaries running around in their countries, beholden to no one but their paymasters.
Ms. Palin is a sop to the Religious Right, because McCain didn't start his pandering to them early enough in the campaign, and USED to call them "agents of intolerance" back just a little while ago. Sara was CHOSEN for McCain by his handlers, c'mon...I'm sure he wanted his old buddy "Turncoat Joe" Lieberman instead.
Now, lest you think I'm an Obamaphile, I have my own Sh*t list for him:
*Why does he think that phone companies who ILLEGALLY wiretapped Americans IN America (because "the government told them to") should get retroactive immunity from prosecution? I want my 4th Amendment back from you and the Republicans, NOW.
*Unwavering support for Israel? Ummm, I've got nothing against Jews at all, but WHY are we supporting them (with OUR tax dollars, again!) with BILLIONS of dollars in military aid and turn a blind eye to the Palistinian's plight?
*He still wants to leave insurance companies involved in our health care, sponging profits from our already short health care dollars.
*He's a member of the Council on Foreign Relations. So is McCain...birds of a feather...check this short clip on who they are. It will surprise you...
Council on Foreign Relations.
Really, I'm a Kucinich/Paul ticket kinda guy. Both of them understand and FIGHT FOR the Bill of Rights and the Constitution better than any of the party
apparatchiks ("agents of the apparatus") that we have been presented with so far. They may have some differing policies, but their fundamentals are right on...
