Re: USA numba 1
And there are a lot of people who are pleased as punch that the Iraqi government is not going to be aiding terrorists any time soon.
Both sides get to cast votes in November.
I know you don't like elections, but that is the method we use to transfer power in our republic.
The Iraqi Government may not be aiding terrorists, but us Americans have done such a thorough job at pissing off not only the people of Iraq but the rest of the world, I hardly think the former Iraqi Government (the one in which Bush and his staffers claim aided terrorist attacks on our soil when in fact they did not) would have logically posed any immediate threat to the U.S. But we did need an excuse for that precious, precious black gold. If that's not a material reason for justifying a war, I don't know what is. I'm sure if spam made the Bush clan as much money as their shady dealings with the petroleum market, they would be trying to invade the country with the next highest output of spam next to the U.S. claiming that our national security is at stake.
What I don't understand is how people can be lead so easily by the Republicans in believing that Kerry didn't serve this country with honor. Unlike draft dodging Bush. It makes me sick that people refuse to wake up from the "Matrix" in which they live. Don't be lead like sheep to a slaughter, think about what really is happening to this country as a result of an ever-increasing love of money that many of the wealthy have. To be "fair and balanced" It's not just corruption on the conservative-Republican, but the liberal-Democrat AND anyone caught in the middle, with too much money and time on their hands. Money is absolute power, and absolute power corrupts absolutely.
Thanks for the rant. |

| First and fore-most,I do like elections but would like them even more if they were fair to begin with, but campaign finance (yet another working concept based on pure greed) as well as the shady setup of bypassing the true American perspective (popular vote) of who the next Pres. should be, but instead we use the electoral collage, which is not representative of the populous. It's a sham. Greed, most certainly, seems to be the philosophy of the two major political parties. That, in my opinion is NOT a reflection of a democracy, but more closely represents a weak form of socialism. Campaign finance is keeping the good candidates out of the running, simply because they do not have the monitary assets to compete with this old-style "democracy".
Secondly, there was NO link that Iraq or even Saddam himself had ties to Al-Quida (which after the fact was confirmed by the current administration). Al-Quida only appeared in Iraq after we had messed it up so badly, taking advantage of that country's lack of government to hit another strike to the US by killing our soldiers (many of whom must buy their own body armor because our government can't find the resources necessary for THEM. Maybe if we cut the over-all war budget supplying our forces may happen).
Lastly, both sides may indeed cast their votes. But will it really matter? Not only did the Florida election debacle prove that no matter which method we chose to cast our vote, it's not really safe and can easily be changed or even disappear altogether. Now Florida wants to begin using electronic voting machines which are inherently flawed. The point is; the vote can be easily swayed or manipulated by a person who necessitates the capital to do so and has the will to do so. Just food for thought. |
