Here here! JD I think that is a perfect reflection of the Democrat's view and interests at a Real Politick level.
However I think just as little of the GOP at this point. I think if you look deep down you will see it too. Look at it at a Real Politick view. No BS. This addy has been a failure in almost every way you can imagine; excepting perhaps fiscally and that's debateable long run. You know what peaves me? Alot. Bush is a loser. I actually voted for him last run around. He had the lot, the full run. Judicial & Legislative in his pocket. What did our leaders do I ask? Could have done anything everything to make this country better, faster, safer, stronger. What did the Hill do? What did President Bush do? No I am serious. What has he done? We know he's good to his buddy's and contributors. He has failed as a warleader. He's a loser. He didn't do it the right way, and has dishonored our military by giving them an untenable position in the strategic and tactical sense. That region has swallowed better men than ours throughout recorded history. Americans go in, kick ass, make love and flowers with the locals, and then return home. Unless there are nukes this how we do it. We should have had 300,000 troops, and ideally neighboring national support if not international; then we could have succeeded. We failed to create a political vaccuum with our troops. Oops. The whole country is an insurgency, we cannot win without generational occupation, and with larger forces than are currently there. It's FUBAR, and it's Bush's fault. Afghanistan too FUBAR. In Afghanistan we fail because the final hammer blow failed to fall, we pulled it. Oops. The spearhead went to Iraq. Now all shit has broken loose. Drugs, tribes, enemy gets away, it's no good. Now we are occupying Afghanistan. You know that was Russia's Vietnam? Plus you've got the black bag prisons and domestic survellance of citizens legalized to throw at the door. AND he did a Reggie Bush aboard the aircraft carrier. He lost, we lost, it ain't gonna happen. Are you ready for 50 years worth of ME? Time to call it a ball game and meet at the ranch. It sucks, but it's true. We don't need the oil. There are better safer domestic production ways. Not to mention his bent on letting the illegals call it even, and this whole NAU thing.
I'm not wishing you had voted for Kerry. However, I think it is clear that faced with the same choice of Bush or Kerry again that peaceful revolt is the only option. (Vote every incumbent out, citizen petition?. Term limits in the house, total election reform...are my suggestions)
Seriously now. They were both skull and bones, both Yale, both blue bloods of the first order. Man. No bueno. I'm from Texas. No man from Texas has a beach house, "in Kennebunkport." Bush couldn't handle the Rangers, and used our governorship as a spring board to the white house. Stuck us with that ass Perry. Silver spoon screwup who bought a seat in the white house through old money, used daddy's political capital, and recruited the CIA Darth Vader for his VP.
The world turned up side down. We used to have common sense. My grandad told me so.
