    November 7th is a 3-pronged referenda, plus Hillary is an opportunist

    November 7th's elections come down to three referenda: a referendum on the gullibility of the American people; a referendum on whether the United States will wage endless war; and a referendum on whether the United States' Constitution will effectively be repealed.

    And what does the Bush gang do to distract the public? It shamelessly spins John Kerry's botched joke into a referendum on John Kerry -- and he isn't even on the ballot!

    Also, Hillary Clinton just lost me for good and forever -- she could have kept her mouth shut. Better, she could have been a "uniter" and said that Kerry's gaffe was unfortunate, but let's focus on the real issue, which is Bush and his botched War of Choice on Iraq.

    If the Repugs maintain control of the House and the Senate next week, it will not be because of John Kerry's inability to tell a joke. It will be because the American people don't realize that their country has been lead to the point of no return by a bunch of lunatics.
