The Democrats have to realize they didn't win power because the people thought they were such a fantastic party with wonderful ideas. They won because people voted against Republicans and not necessarily for Democrats. Essential, voters chose what they perceived to be the lesser of two EVILS.
Almost all of the races were very close, with few outright thumpings.
Just drop your pants, bend over and get ready to be invaded.
Once we let down the defenses, which liberals will make absolutely sure happens, we will become the weaker and a new strong-man will emerge.
Not saying that Dems can't handle the job of running our country . . just not now. You can't back away from an opponent, you can't hide in the bushes. Perhaps, we shouldn't have let happen what did . . but, the milk has been spilled, already.
If you raise your gun, you better shoot. You can't later say, "oops, I shouldn't have raised my gun, please don't take this aggressively". Fools, if you think this is the right course because the mother-fucker standing in front of you will cut you to the ground.
If Dems held congress BEFORE, hell probably wouldn't have broken loose in the first place. But, it has and it is now, and we need someone with balls, not someone with compassion. The strong-man doesn't care about compassion, they care about power.
Was Bush the strong-man caring about power instead of compassion . . maybe . . but, it's too late now to step back and say, "sorry". You think anyone cares about how sorry we are?
The bottom line the great comunacator let us down, Ronny Ragen pres. What did he do he brought down the wall, The russians were keeping the talban in check. so now twenty years later we have our own asses in Iraq and we are fighting the Talban I think it was all a U.S.S.R. trick to put them on us. I bet the wall goes back up.
Reagan was the ultimate. Without question in my mind, the best President we've ever had, as far as his communication was concerned. Things would be completely different right now if he just had some balls.
According to my most beloved and my first lady.. Arundhati Roy
"What does the term "anti-American" mean? Does it mean you are anti-jazz? Or that you're opposed to freedom of speech? That you don't delight in Toni Morrison or John Updike? That you have a quarrel with giant sequoias? Does it mean that you don't admire the hundreds of thousands of American citizens who marched against nuclear weapons, or the thousands of war resisters who forced their government to withdraw from Vietnam? Does it mean that you hate all Americans?"
I would have to put a few before Reagan like warshington Jefferson Adams Linclon wilson both Rosavelts God love him maybe the greatest of all Harry Truman I think Ron falls somewhere between Van Buran and Hayes.
It really doesn't matter to me about WHO exactly becomes President, so long as he/she has balls and some class.
We, as Americans, would like to believe that we'd put someone in office who's qualified for the job - yeah right - in reality, most people judge candidates because of their personality, not platform, nor intelligence (like Bush who's really edumacabed).
If we like the person and he has a pretty smile, stupid people, which makes up the majority of the population will vote for him. Pretty pathetic.
I have a lot of friends who are Dem's, but, they are whussy's and would shrink away from anything confrontational and right now, with the way the world is . . we need brawns, not brass.
btw (and everyone knows who I'm talking to here) . . American's AREN'T a race. For being such a smart person, you sure are a dumbass !!!!!!
I must agree not being a race, being many races, makes us as strong as we are. our diversity makes us what we are we may fight amoung our self but we take a very dim view of outhers picking on one of our own.
Damn pathetic?. But admitting this alone won't bring back half a million children death in Iraq or does it..?
You vote for dumb ass? for the 8 damn years?and you think that you are smarter than the stupid in white house is..??
Democracy..?? what democracy when your vote get tweaked..?? is that democracy..??
Freedom.. what freedom? When you are being watched for what you do..?? freedom..??
The idiot in the white house. The king bush (the first) said ??I will never apologize for the United States. I don't care what the facts are.??
?Way back in 1988, on the 3rd of July, the U.S.S. Vincennes, a missile cruiser stationed in the Persian Gulf, accidentally shot down an Iranian airliner and killed 290 civilian passengers.
I don't care what the facts are. What a perfect maxim for the New American Empire. Perhaps a slight variation on the theme would be more apposite: The facts can be whatever we want them to be.
are they still facts? when we tweaked around..? after our liking..??
When the United States invaded Iraq, a New York Times/CBS News survey estimated that 42 percent of the American public believed that Saddam Hussein was directly responsible for the September 11th attacks on the World Trade Centre and the Pentagon. And an ABC News poll said that 55 percent of Americans believed that Saddam Hussein directly supported Al Qaida.
None of this opinion is based on evidence (because there isn't any). All of it is based on insinuation, auto-suggestion, and outright lies circulated by the U.S. corporate media, otherwise known as the ?Free Press,? that hollow pillar on which contemporary American democracy rests.
Apart from the invented links between Iraq and Al Qaida, we had the manufactured frenzy About Iraq's Weapons of Mass Destruction. George Bush the lesser went to the extent of saying it would be ?suicidal? for the U.S. not to attack Iraq. We once again witnessed the paranoia that a starved, bombed, besieged country was about to annihilate almighty America. (Iraq was only the latest in a succession of countries ? earlier there was Cuba, Nicaragua, Libya, Grenada, and Panama.) But this time it wasn't just your ordinary brand of friendly neighbourhood frenzy.
It was Frenzy with a Purpose. It ushered in an old doctrine in a new bottle: the Doctrine of Pre-emptive Strike, a.k.a. The United States Can Do Whatever the Hell It Wants, and that's Official.
Do you guys really following what happens world wide... Or just satisfy your self with the stupid refined news from abc/cnn or msn..??
I am anti everything that fuck with the humans and the human's rights GLOBALLY.. Americanism and its patriotism bullshits is a disease? Every sane human should fight against it ?.

"America should have minded her own business and stayed out of the World War. If you hadn't entered the war the Allies would have made peace with Germany in the spring of 1917. Had we made peace then there would have been no collapse in Russia followed by

Who do you think will be running this time? Everyone around me seems to think we will finally get a female President. Namely either Hillary Clinton or Condoleeza Rice.
Yay!!! It was signed today. Now if we could only get congress to pass a law to just keep child molester's in prison for life. Or better yet....maybe I'll just keep that thought to myself.
Synarchy was founded in the early 1870s by Joseph Alexander Saint-Yves d?Alveydre (1824-1909). This was a period in which many new political ideas were taking hold. Like many of a conservative mind, Saint-Yves was alarmed by the rise of Anarch
