The American people don't want no egghead runnin' their govmint. They want somebody as confused as them and just as unwilling to admit it. They want John McCain and that perdy lady. You people in that internet place jes don't connect with us ordinary folks. John McCain does.
What will you do when Maverick/Moose wins in a squeaker in Florida? Riot? Protest? Write letters? Nothing. That's what you'll do, nothing. Maverick/Moose know that to really transform WaRshington, WaRshington must be destroyed. That is Maverick/Moose's real plan, burn WaRshington to save it. Hey, worked in 'Nam, right?
When Republicans blame Democrats for anything, it usually turns out that it is the Republicans who are exibiting the offending behavior. This serves to not only paint the Dems with the bad behavior, but it reinforces the idea that both parties are the same. It is akin to a bank robber accusing the teller of robbery while the teller is handing over cash at gunpoint to the band robber. It has so far been very successful. I am extremely surprised that I don't hear more about this tactic from the left. It needs to be pointed out every time it happens or it will continue to be successful.
Republicans are bullies. Nothing more, nothing less. What this country needs is extensive education on the identification of bullies, their methods and tactics, and what we, the people, can do to counteract these methods and tactics. I'm sure there are many books on the subject of bullying on the playground, in the office, and at home but I have yet to see one on bullying of one section of the population by another. Your article perfectly illustrates what happens when bullies get called on their tactics. They retreat to the victim position to blunt any critisism of their previous actions. If we are going to be forced to deal with these 'people', we should have a guide for doing so. Remember, no one in a position of strength has to make threats.
Democrats will continue to enable Republicans to rape the population of this country and pillage the treasury. It is the role they have been assigned by the Republican leadership. Just look at the pork(read bribes) that the bill had to be laded with to get the theving Republicans on board. These GOPers wouldn't throw their own child a lifeline unless their child paid them to do so. Why doesn't America see that the Republican party is in fact a criminal enterprise bent on the destruction of the planet in order to enrich themselves and their friends? I'll tell you why. Because for 30 years the Republican party has been buying up the media and consolidating it under their rule. Now, no news can get out without Republican say so. If this party is not outlawed soon, this country will be nothing but a pile of ashes. Hell, maybe that's for the best. At the very least it would mean millions will live that would have been murdered by American bombs in the 'future wars' McCain has promised.
As long as Congress does nothing to challenge Bush, we should all learn that even the Democrats are in on the crimes. Pelosi and Reid signed off on this program as well as torture and the illegal invasion of Iraq. They, acting as our representatives, signed all our names to this program and the torture program. We gave them the power so it is we, the people, who are responsible for the destruction of our own country. If anyone deserves punishment, it is us.
Let's see now, McCain/Palin incite the crowds, surrogates in the crowd incite them further until they riot. This gives Bush an excuse to call out that Amry division or battalion or whatever he just stationed in the US. More 'Brooks Bros' paid flunkies riot which gives Bush another excuse for declaring nationwide martial law, suspension of the constitution, and a 'postponement' of the elections. Works rather nicely, doesn't it?
Here's how 'The Plan' works.
1. Tax breaks for corporations that ship well paying jobs overseas.
2. NCLB enacted to 'dumb-down' teenagers and pre-teens.
3. Encourage college tuition hikes to make it unaffordable for middle income kids.
4. Concentrate on a 'service economy' composed of low-paying, no insurance jobs.
5. Market the Army as a summer camp with job training.
6. Invade the schools and lie to parents and children about Army 'life'.
7. Invade oil rich countires for profit.
Make it so that the only opportunity for non-college educated people is...............THE ARMY. SURPRISE!!!!!
Watching these men laugh and chuckle at each other while millions are suffering due to the criminal actions of both of them makes me physically ill. It's not enough for them to drain our bank accounts into the pockets of multimillionaires on Wall Street, they have to laugh in our faces while they do it. Both these men are truly disgusting that they could yuck it up with each other at a formal dinner while people within a mile of their location go without food, shelter, and medicine. I will vote for Obama but I will never forgive him for this performance. I expect nothing from him. He is only the lesser of two very great evils. I think I'll go throw up now.
"I screwed up"????? He LIED!!! And Letterman, just like everyone else in this god forsaken country, let's him slide. He lied to Letterman, he lied to the American people, and he's lying to himself. It's a disgrace. The media is a disgrace. The whole election system is a disgrace. I cannot help but pray that someday another country will decide they have had enough of this nation's BULLSHIT, and call this country what it truly is: The Forth Reich.
