    Great way to "stay the course", Hillary! How much GOP ass have you been kissing lately??... brown noser! You're just as bad, if not worse, since you've been criticizing Bush on his implementing this war on terrorism. You're supposed to be a democrat? Neo-con! Way to flimflam, you stupid old cow. You should be put out to pasture... or in a slaughterhouse.

    And Mitt... you rhyme with your name (shhhhhhhhh). It's so scary to look at your fake smiling face and hear you talk about supporting starting a new war in Iran. George is just continuing his father's mission of the Iran-Contra affair. And you are in support of this... what a laugh. You think you can get backing for the clear continuance of war, and getting the approval of Congress? - merging one war into another? Are you insane? Wheeee!... let's have some more fun destroying the lives of American soldiers (and their families) and innocent people from another country... what fun!

    If only monthly psychological tests were given to republican/neo-con politicos... we wouldn't be in this mess.

    Ron Paul - I applaud you for calling it how you see it. It takes a lot of courage to do that. I agree with you that an act of terrorism on the U.S. is done by individuals, and it was a mistake to go to a war with another country so impulsively, without getting all the facts in. This was not well thought out, but considering where it came from, surprise surprise. While I think that there is a lot of validity in what you are saying, tread lightly, or people will judge and miss what you are saying altogether.

    This is all about instilling the public with fear of an impending doom. That's the only way that these republican asses get put in a level of authority - they manipulate the truth and the people who are looking for security. But what these people get is only false hope because they are getting a fabricated "truth".

    Become stronger and more well informed, America... or else we are doomed. Understand and never forget this: the republican politicos are the REAL terrorists.

    Mitt and his desire to look good is yet another failure. He wants props for... what? I don't get why he would deserve any sort of accolades at all. Just because he wants his wife by his side at night and he likes McDonald's cheeseburgers?? BTW, great nutritional value, Mitt! You are aiding (and abetting) the molding of the minds of children... way to make America even fatter. Such a good role model.

    NOT!

    If Mitt Romney is the future of America, then I'm outta there. He is a genuinely insincere, ineffective "leader" that has only gotten by because of his car salesman smile.

    I've said it before, and I'll say it again: Mitt Romney did not do one thing to benefit the state of Massachusetts the whole time he was governor. If he can't lead a state effectively, then how the HELL is he going to run the country (besides into the ground)?

    And the only reason why there are many books about him is to confuse the voters. "Well, gee... if there are so many books about him, then he must be blah blah blah." Most of that blithering idiocy written in those books are a load of manure. Look at how many books there are about G.W. Bush... and the majority, if not all of them, are to his detriment! And they're bestsellers!

    Pres. Bush should be tethered, gagged, then be drawn and quartered for what he has done to the people of this country. His war hero mentality is a bravado of insanity and to the detriment of this country and the world. He has alienated us from our allies and the government. This is Bush's pissing contest and it's all about him, and he's dragging us down with him.

    Dick Cheney, Donald Rumsfeld, and Karl Rove have been working on these plans of going to war with Iraq and Iran since Bush Sr.'s presidency --- probably more likely during Reagan's administration. They have been using Bush as a puppet of destruction, a role which Bush thinks will earn him a place in the history books as a war hero. He could not be more wrong.

    These actions that the Bush administration are taking will make this a world war, and it's undoubtedly going to be coming to the United States. Millions of people will die, but Bush will say that it's all for the good of the country and the world, and that people's lives will need to be sacrificed.

  • Fascism is the New Government!

    fascism |ˈfa sh ˌizəm| (also Fascism) noun an authoritarian and nationalistic right-wing system of government and social organization. • (in general use) extreme right-wing, authoritarian, or intolerant views or practice.

    The term Fascism was first used of the totalitarian right-wing nationalist regime of Mussolini in Italy (1922–43), and the regimes of the Nazis in Germany and Franco in Spain were also fascist. Fascism tends to include a belief in the supremacy of one national or ethnic group, a contempt for democracy, an insistence on obedience to a powerful leader, and a strong demagogic approach.

    Romney and his k-k-klan are showing their colors, people... don't ignore the underlying messages, or the understanding that he's another republican who's going to try screw this country up even more if he gets the chance. Let's not give him that chance.

    Sorry for my stuttering.
