  Ignorant Politicians

  Sen. Ted Stevens is like George Bush, neither of them knows much of anything. Bush's ignorance shows every single time he makes a speech or fondles Angela Merkel in public. Bush is nothing but a clown, an emporer with no clothes and because of that he is destroying OUR America, it's not his America.

  Rumsfeld, he of little if any military knowledge, says he has the confidence of the pres. and people just accept that. But there is a huge fallacy in logic here. SO WHAT IF HE HAS BUSH'sCONFIDENCE, that mere statement is supposed to imbue him with some kind of credibility, NFW. The Bush himself has no 'credibility or body of knowledge and expertise', so what does that confer on Rummy. IT CONFERS ABSOLUTELY NOTHING. This is simply and nothing more than the blind leading the blind, or the dumb leading the dumb, it's simply a case of DUMB AND DUMBER.

  'We the people' hesitate to run for political positions at any level of government. I't is no wonder that congress/government/the WH gets so little done. These assholes actually know very little. They are driven by nothing more than partisan political ambitions and self aggrandizement.

  I personally think most of them are incompetents other than the fact that most of them are lawyers(may the saints presevere us from lawyers, insurance salesman and used car salesman and most of all POLITICIANS) most politicians seem to know little else than the law which they don't follow anyway or which they bend twist and distort to meet their own selfish ends.

  And on top of all that, they are liars to 'we the people'.

  Let's get right down to the bottom line, any politician who lies to the people ought to be removed from office, spend a year or more in jail depending on the severity of damage done and never be allowed to hold public office again.

  That alone would REVOLUTIONIZE our political sytem. The other thing that needs to be done is our election system needs major reforms.

  The power has to be returned to 'we the people' or I am convinced American democratic values are doomed.

  Does anyone really want Halliburton or Bechtel or Kerr McGee or ADM or Cargill or the Carlyle group running our elections, our social security system, our government, or our military.

  I read very recently that after WWII corporations paid for about 40-45% of the cost of running our government via their taxes. Hang on now you will be shoched. Corporations pay 7% of the cost of running our government that means 'we the people' pay 93% of the cost of running our government.

  He who has the gold makes the rules. 'We the people' pay almost the entire cost of running our government that means it is our damn government, we frickin' own it. We pay the bills than we get to make the rules.

  If corporatocracy wants to rule our gov't then they must pay 97% of the cost to run OUR government than it will be their government and they will have the right to make the rules.

  AMERICA BELONGS TO 'WE THE PEOPLE'.

  AMERICA IS THE PEOPLE.

  It is that simple and at the very same time IT IS THAT PROFOUND.
