Why do you draw a connection between Pelosi and a group promoting
adolescent-adult male sexual relationships? I know of no evidence to
this. If you have some, please share it. Otherwise feel free to put
away your bucket of ****, or come tommorrow, us reasonable folk will
dump it on your head. You've had a nice friendly warning.

Run along now and get back to your hating. We big folks got real work
to do. Nice knee pants, by the way.

Until we don't realize how ****ing corrupt our electoral system is and
how much it is a corporate dictatroship of the few, I will not make any
sense for me to vote.

Hmmm....I'm fat and out of shape. I can't climb hills for beans. I'm
slower than some of my friends. I guess I shouldn't ride at all then,
eh?

In all seriousness, I agree the system has serious flaws. However,
let's look at the odds.

Exercising your voting privilege == remote chance that the system may
be affected by your actions.
Failing to exercise your voting privilege == zero chance that the
system will be affected.

Seems pretty simple to me...

Best,

Yep, has the guy that works at the shop just scared ****less...pretty
funny. He should be scared ****less of more of the same. I want to see
Pelosi take the gavel..and then see Rush's, Bill O's, Sean Hannity's
face...


Peter: If you haven't seen it yet, I highly recommend "V for Vendetta." It's
the movie that 1984 should have been, and has one of the all-time great
lines-

"People should not be afraid of their governments. Governments should be
afraid of their people."

I spent a bit of time trying to find where they stole that line from, but it
appears to be original.

"V" is a very good film. And very "on topic" for the US today. It
played to a mostly empty house (on opening weekend) in this very
Baptist and Republican area. ;-(

IIRC, the quote was from James Michael Curley, Mayor of Boston and,
later, Governor of Massachusetts. Curley's political "machine" would
pick up drunks, homeless, vagrants, etc., give them some $ and
transport them around the voting precincts of Boston, pulling the lever
again and again for The Mayor.

Curley was a role model for Daley.

Do you realize that you and your neocon Christian whack job friends
are a minority in this country and are the laughingstock of the entire
world? Put it into perspective: if "reality" is defined as majority
rule perception, then on a global perspective you and your ilk are
nothing more than an obscure, tiny, and very very crazy lunatic
fringe.

Unlike the lunatic fringe in the middle east, with their 14th century
educations, terrorists, homicide bombers,and IED's, your fringe just
so happens to be in charge of the current, but not so certainly
future, most powerful country in the world. If the Republican Party,
which tolerates you in their midst, isn't decisively voted out of
control of at least one branch of Congress today, this country will be
written off by civilized cultures world wide as a lost cause.

The first GW Bush election was accepted by the rest of the world for
what is was: a tragic confluence of reaction against Bill Clinton's
libido, the insufferable hubris of Ralph Nader, and the hypocritical
flip flop of the "state's rights" ultra conservative majority of the
Supreme Court.

The second Bush election was a slap in the face of civilized peoples,
and gave rise to the question of how stupid can this country really
be, that they can be cowed into impotent fear of terrorism by a bunch
of irredeemably deceitful, greedy, manipulative, hypocritical and
downright evil thugs of the likes of W. Bush, Cheney and Rumsfeld. Not
to mention the Religious Right, which keeps proving over and over that
the more extreme a person's religious fanaticism, the more likely it
is a cover for serious mental illness.

A 2006 mid-term election which does not put the brakes on this
insanity will be the death knell for this place, which had so much
potential, so many resources, such a sound constitutional foundation,
but like all empires before it, just flat out blew it. We will be
consumed by our arrogance, ignorance, incompetence, apathy,
ineptitude, debt, and greed.

So I'm on my knees hoping that in the next cycle, Fox News, Rush
Limbaugh, evangelicals, Pentecostals, neo cons, and all the rest of
the right wing crazies who have so ****ed up this country and the
entire globe, will be marginalized as the despicable narrow minded
losers they are and have always been.

Phew!

Let's not forget the limited campaigning skills of Al Gore. Who else
could have let an utterly unqualified bozo like Dim Dub get close
enough to steal the election? Clinton, if constitutionally eligible,
would have handed Dim Dub his ass and made him wear it as a hat.

Good summation of the current situation.

I figure any way it comes out, I lose.

I fear the D's and despise the R's. So who to vote for?
