America stands on a precipice. Democracy is losing as the flagship nation of that ideal. The Electoral College cannot continue. If the population is truly to elect leaders in one voice, then all should have equal footing in that choice. If a president is elected because an electoral number is reached, but not in the popular vote, you will get disastrous leaders like George Bush.
I believe that this nation is ready for a change. The people of America know and understand who they are, and who controls their lives. This isn't about a bunch of farmers that can't spell their own name. This is about the dumbing down of a smarter America. The people should voice their ideas, and get them heard. It is time the structure of this flawed representative democracy is scrapped and rebuilt. It is only for the betterment of the legacy of a great and honorable people.

Yes!!!!

unfortuantely last decade of republican rules we have witnessed the csuality of US credibility.

Although a handful of republicans were envolved in policy making decisions. we live in another side of hemisphere where people normally do not distinguish between republicans and democrats.

Democrats have to work hard to restore US credibility and ensure their allies to be a reliable partner.

The situation now is so much complicated that no dramatic results can be foreseen in near future. so this is possible that the world will not feel any immidiate difference however this is our honest opinion that the down ward slide will atleast be stopped.

we hope to see the Hillary and clinton be back in oval office and wash away the dirt with their wisdom during their tenure

reading my stuff a couple of weeks later is refreshing, I didn't know I was that smart or versatile...whatta guy.

so it looks like they've seperated some wheat from chaff, how's bout seperating some conspirators from freedom.

g o o g l e gates Negroponte Honduras Iran Contra

see what happens, arrest the Executive Branch and all of their families for treason.....it's simple if you actually pay attention.

g'day.

The "thumping" that the republicans got on election day was the result
of more people coming to the conclusion that Bush & his party were lying
about Iraq from the start. Furthermore, and this may be more important,
that the republican party, far from being the place where good upstanding citizens reside, has the same percentage of crooks & perverts
that any organization of its size would.
As that great liberal republican Abe Lincoln once said: "you can fool some of the people all of the time & all of the people some of the time,
but you can't fool all of the people all of the time.
Will the democrats be able to magically transform Iraq into a peaceful
place or will the ultimate outcome be replacing one dictator with another. That is up to the Iraqis. If they are ready for democracy
they will ultimately get it. The locals know who the troublemakers are
better than the U.S. forces occupying the country do.
All this failed neo-con fantasy proves is the limits of military power.

If I can't get the first word in, I might as well have the last,,,

The Republicans, actually the nominal "Conservative" party in the US, have been repudiated by the voting public.

The reason for this repudiation was not because "conservative values" are wrong, but because those trumpeting said values had an agenda that could only be achieved by a bait and switch appeal to those values (the reasons for the shellacking the republicans received are manifold, but embarking on an orgy of corruption and graft before they actually held the keys to the kingdom wasn't a good idea). The true agenda was to establish a ruling class and a proletariat (read your Roman history). It would have worked, too, if not for the power of one-man, one-vote system and the unwillingness of the populace to vote themselves into a position of subserviance.

The Republic survives - thanks to the virtues of democracy.

Go USA!

Only the rich thrived under Bush in over 6 years therefore there are more people who will benefit in having a Democratic-controlled Congress, even if it is just to check the abuses of Bush. Having Democrats win is a big plus already because their victory brought Bush down to earth. Bush is a lousy leader because he acted as if he was not accountable to the American people. Yes, he was appointed by the Supreme Court in 2000 and he squeaked by in 2004. Because of these circumstances a mature-thinking individual would go out of his way to "persuade" the other side. Instead Bush acted like a jerk. Hopefully, the Democrats will learn from the crude & arrogant Republicans and not act like them. They can navigate their way around differences, be creative about solving the nation's big big challenges (Iraq, North Korea, Iran, deficits, etc.) the people of the world want the United States to remain a strong power with principles and decency.

If not destroying something is saving it, then yes, they can.

Now that the DummyCraps have taken control of the House of Representatives, stand by for a plethora of pork-barrel bills and outrageous tax increases. As an added injury, this will almost certainly mean a reduction in funding for the war on terror with more dead Americans as a direct result. Consequentially, my advice to everyone is to start drinking heavily.

WELL, THE WORLD THINKS SO. Europeans, particularly and certainly all of Asia, are widely reported to be watching with
trepidition, hoping for a change here—the question being is the whole country rotten or only our president. Does no one here read the international press? Did you think, in asking this fool question, that America is popular around the world? Or hated? Or that they wouldn't want a change? Good God.

And let us not forget the the $$$ trail ("put options" gamble that a company's stock will lose value):

From 911scholarsfortruth.org:

"In the weeks before 9/11, the US Stock market showed rather high levels of activity on companies that would subsequently be affected by the attacks. The afternoon before the attack, alarm bells were sounding over trading patterns in stock options. A jump in United Air Lines some 90 times (not 90 percent) above normal between September 6 and September 10, for example, and 285 times higher than average the Thursday before the attack, have been reported. A jump in American Airlines put options 60 times (not 60 percent) above normal the day before the attacks has also been reported. No similar trading occurred on any other airlines appear to have occurred.

Between September 6-10, 2001, the Chicago Board Options Exchange saw suspicious trading on Merrill Lynch and Morgan Stanley, two of the largest WTC tenants. An average of 3,053 put options in Merrill Lynch were bought between Sept. 6-10, compared to an average of 252 in the previous week. Merrill Lynch, another WTC tenant, saw 12,215 put options bought between Sept. 7-10, whereas the previous days had seen averages of 212 contracts a day. According to Dylan Ratigan of Bloomberg News: "This would be the most extraordinary coincidence in the history of mankind, if it was a coincidence. This could very well be insider trading at the worst, most horrific, most evil use youÔøΩve ever seen in your entire life. ItÔøΩs absolutely unprecedented."

On September 18, 2001, the BBC reported: "American authorities are investigating unusually large numbers of shares in airlines, insurance companies and arms manufacturers that were sold off in the days and weeks before the attacks. They believe that the sales were by people who knew about the impending disaster". According to the London Independent, October 10, 2001: "To the embarrassment of investigators, it has also emerged that the firm used to buy many of the 'put' optionsÔøΩwhere a trader, in effect, bets on a share price fallÔøΩon United Airlines stock was headed until 1998 by 'Buzzy' Krongard, now executive director of the CIA."

The 9/11 Commission, after looking into the pre-9/11 stock trades, never denied their unusual nature. Instead, the Commission declared that al-Qaeda did not conduct the trades, and asked no further questions.

http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/1566565847/qid=1120623441/sr=8-1/ref=pd_bbs_ur_1/103-8086269-4513445?n=507846&s=books&v=glance

Who, if not al-Qaeda, performed the incriminating trades? This information exists, it can be easily obtained, and it needs to be made public. Moreover, illegal money transfers may have been processed through computers housed at the World Trade Center shortly before planes crashed into the Twin Towers on 9/11. We demand a disclosure of the source of the put options and that this whole sordid affair receive a complete and public investigation.

"I want to punish the neocons beginning with Bush if the Dems get in...I feel they ruined our country and that it will take a real
spotlight on their lies and hubris to gather the energy to start."

Starting with some answers about WTC 7's mysterious "suicide;" the alleged presence of thermite byproducts in WTC 1, 2 and 7's foundations months after the attacks; the rush to ship rubble and other physical evidence overseas following the attacks; the President's brother's company's involvement in WTC security in the months leading up to the attacks; reports by firefighters and other witnesses of multiple explosions throughout WTC 1 and 2 before their collapse; and other 9/11 related questions.

Whether the Democrats choose to investigate the issue and release information requested by 9/11 scholars and family members will offer some indication of how far they intend to stray from the current pathway laid out by H.W. and his fellow henchmen.

"Of the People, by the People, for the People."
The amrici always pretends somebody else is to blame.
Bush is the problem, the republicans are the problem, the iraqis are the problem.
Maybe, You're the problem.

Most of my associates (I teach at Cal Poly) think a House controlled by the Democrats would be very good for the Reublican who runs for President in two years.
The quality and viewpoints of the majority of Democrats who are candidates for the House this year are so bad that should they be in the spotlight for the next two years it would sour the American public to such an extent that no Democrat would be elected President for a very long time.
It would make election of two Democrat presidents from 1976 to 1992
seem like heaven to Democrats.

Oh god please let them win!! The world need to have Bush on some sort of leash. Dare I hope that he may then end up in front of a war crimes trail some time in the near future.

Columnist Settles in Propaganda Case
Associated Press
Monday, October 23, 2006; Page A06

Columnist Armstrong Williams has reached a settlement with prosecutors regarding payments he received from the Education Department to promote President Bush's agenda.

Under the agreement, Williams admits no wrongdoing but will have to pay $34,000. The deal was reached last week by Williams, the Education Department and its subcontractor, Ketchum Communications.
Armstrong Williams agreed to repay $34,000 of the $186,000 he received for promoting No Child Left Behind. (By Lucian Perkins — The Washington Post)

"The department is happy to see this matter come to a close," Katherine McLane, a spokeswoman for Education Secretary Margaret Spellings, said Sunday. "One of the first steps Secretary Spellings took when she came to office is to establish guidelines to prevent future occurrences of this type of situation."

A message left at Williams's office was not returned Sunday.

The settlement brings to a close a year-long investigation into the case after reports emerged that the Education Department contracted with several radio, television and print commentators to promote the No Child Left Behind Act.

Lawmakers criticized the contracts as an improper use of taxpayer dollars. Congressional auditors concluded the department engaged in illegal "covert propaganda" by hiring Williams without requiring him to disclose he was paid.

YOUR TAX DOLLARS AT WORK TO DEFRAUD YOU!!!!

.

not a class.

How about requiring that _any_ elected official be able to pass an EBI w/poly.

like _any_ employee getting a Top Secret?

bush _could_not_get_a_clearance_ if his life depended upon it, without someone _excusing_ him from examination

and yet he has the nerve to classify incriminating evidence and appoint people into sensitive positions to avoid oversight.

John Negroponte', his fathers' good friend, is his choice as director of intelligence for the United States.

Negroponte' can jerk the pension of anyone that testifies against bush, as a congressional mandate.

Negroponte' also has by congressional mandate the ability to excuse any company from being audited or tax examined.

That is kinda weird dontcha think? Like why does bushes good buddy, the one that hid the terrorism paid for by the United States in Central America from oversight during his tenure in Honduras?

You say he's doing the _same_job_ in Irack?

what a surprise..... S.O.S.D.D. need a DUI fixed call Alberto Gonzales, he's for sale.

Does anyone where you live think that a Democratic Congress in the U.S. would be better for the world?

define themselves.

they need to hold up some thing and say, that over there makes me worthy.

and it doesn't even matter if it's good or bad, it becomes _your_ symbol for worthiness, and if someone says it's unworthy, it feels like an attack on your

little childish self.

your little childish self is trying to protect itself with stories.

grow up.

.

I chose effectiveness, if you were on my team, I'd fire you.

or use childish tactics, you do both debs...

again, you want to talk about India?

step up or get out of my way....... you _are_ ineffective and weak.

.

To "...radical..."

Bedtime.

"similar, of a "same mindset," obfuscating in the face of overwhelming evidence.

get it?"

The only evidence we have (from open intelligence) is that USA, India, Israel are at war against radical Islam (not to be read as war against all Muslims). This effort would be significantly diminished if Democrats come in 2006 and 2008. You seem to disagree with me and Tom, but that's your prerogative.

whosoever, whatever wrote.

"I hate stupid people."

Then probably you would hate to look yourself in the mirror.

I don't vote with them or for them.......

I vote for effectiveness, that changes from time to time.

I dislike people that can't buy clothes except for the label. I feel like trash people buy for the labels......

me I look for double stitching, extra buttons, good quality, high thread count.......

I understand what I'm looking at. I don't need to buy the label.

Get it? I despise people that buy by the label.

are you a _good_ christian? what does that mean? you probably couldn't tell me the difference between buddhism or hinduism or sufism, or zorasterism.........

read much rumi?

.

I hate stupid people.

anymore than the Indigenous population of the United States was an enemy to the invaders........

we _made_ the Indigenous population into our enemy, sweet heart.

and the same ploy is being used again.

surely you've heard about that, Wounded Knee? broken treaties, poisoned water holes, blankets with smallpox on them?

wanna justa fy some thing, create monsters......it's called a spy ops

or psyop, budday....make up some garbage and repeat it over and over until it becomes like a coffee stain....

have the Executive Branch and Complicit Congress say,

Terrorists, Iraq and WTC/911 in the same 4 second soundbite, then 80% of the US troops in Iraq will think that Iraq attacked the United States,

because there is _no_ other justifiable reason for being there.

get it?

.

I am a Republican. I don't know what Deb is. What are you? Don't say you vote the candidate. I'm sick of hearing that.

similar, of a "same mindset," obfuscating in the face of overwhelming evidence.

get it?

To "...annoying..." once again:

In fact, because the US and India have a common enemy, namely, radical Islam, I strongly support them. The same goes for Israel.

but the facts are verifiable. Including Saddam supposedly leaving Bagdhad with three tractor trailer loads of cash while surrounded, during the second invasion. _THAT_ was on television.

The other reference to Al Zarqawi has been provided. Fantastic? Hardly, I worked in Washington for a number of years....Clinton was an outsider. Bush had been involved since the early 50's........pay attention....that is why they have term limits.

Delusional, look in the mirror if you want delusion. Check my facts.

If you want to have a conversation do that. If you want to somehow point out inconsistencies, good luck.

To "...annoying..."

A couple of quotes from one of your recent postings...

"I was working at a company that sold security systems to Saudi at the time....and read about the conversation in an issue of Newsweek. I asked a friend of mine who was a Seal, and later in the CIA if it were possible that we would be that duplicitous. He said "of course," that's the way _we_ work. Perhaps you're aware that the whole Al Queada in Iraq thing was a PSYOP, and that Al Zaquirwi or whatever his name is was a BS story put together to convince the Iraqi people......and then later the world."

and,

"Saddam didn't drive out of bagdhad with 3 tractor trailers loaded with cash while surrounded, infiltrated, with all media communitcations being watched with 24/7 surveillance from the sky and ground by the most sophisticated technology available? The only way he escaped is he were assisted by our side."

Another quote from an earlier posting:

"there never were any WMD in Iraq, nor was there ever a belief that there was.

what there was the 2ND LARGEST OIL RESERVES IN THE WORLD."

finally,

"doubt me, look it up"

I don't know why anybody would doubt you based on some of the bazaar statements you make, but the one that you quote Harold Meyerson gives me some sense that you are not dilusional.

Let me quote myself from a blog just above yours:

"...You are right, however, the rich are getting richer, and the poor are getting poorer. There is an increasing disparity in our society..."

Let me just add that the standard of living in the US has been declining for decades (not just since 2000), so this is not just a Bush problem.

"And indians for outsourcing? How transparent is that?"

what are you talking about here? You must be confusing me for someone else as I have not commented on Indians yet.

I'm not a Democrat, chatter jeebs

whatever happened to that 19th bomber mous sassi or whatever his name was, the government hosted a website for him where you could listen to him rant about wanting to kill Americans and behead them....probably went back to his job at the base in Clearwater, doncha know...

it was a veiled reference to an earlier propagandafest by bush defending agencies of disinformation, foisting a dissection of a corpse purported to be the body of one of their own team, labeled a terrorist, or

"The evidence suggests that Zarqawi was part of a Pentagon disinformation campaign launched in 2003, which was initially intended to justify the US-led invasion of Iraq. This central role of Zarqawi as an instrument of war propaganda was recently confirmed by leaked military documents revealed by the Washington Post."

comprende? burned any wives recently Deb?

howabout slavery in India, chatterjee?

"Do you have any proof that it was not CSI propaganda like the El Zaquwari tale, psyop? Answer the question."

Pray (whatever is your name), what's a CSI propaganda ? Is this another Democratic recycled drivel, now that allegations against Halliburton has been muted, following Tom's response to Jim H. ?

content!!!!!

stand up for your dishonesty!!!!!!!! YOU have a right to a lawyer, anything that you say can and will be used against you in a court of law.......

this is public record.

conflict of interest? Cheney and George H.W. Bush with connections?

no compete bids?

did Negroponte excuse them from having their books looked into?

Why did that congresswoman in the so called debate say that Halliburton had dropped 9 Billion, that $9,000,000,000,000 NINE BILLION DOLLARS WAS UNACCOUNTED FOR IN DEALINGS WITH HALLIBURTON?

how much is 9 BILLION DOLLARS? Heck, I could get by on 1 BILLION. SEND ME MY SHARE....now!

.

PNAC,

it was in response to George H.W. Bushes second term being taken from him....

he had plannus interruptus. Thus being unable to prevent Clinton from being a two termer, they made sure that there wasn't a followon from

his vice president Gore, with dishonesty.

and by the by, Halliburton is a symptom, not the problem.

Do you live in boise? any salmon fishing near there?

.

or about the reality of castes within the Pakistani, Indian world

or being a Royal vs being a regular Saudi/UAE/Kuwiati person.

heh heh heh...

To Jim H Minneapolis

"...The invasion of Iraq was probably more to do with raising the stock prices of the oil companies and the Halliburtons of this world than stopping Islamic expansionism..."

Haliburton did quite nicely working for the Clinton administration throughout the 90's. They were even picked for work in Bosnia despite NOT being the low bidder because of their experience. Al Gore complimented their work. They are a logical contractor to use for large jobs because they are a large company.

Your statement is rediculous to say the least.

heh heh heh.....

cutting peoples heads off as justification for bush stealing their oil.

are you crazy, stupid, immoral or all three?

where's the link?

did we invade their country w/o provocation?

Is beheading something that they do to their own people? Do you have any proof that it was not CSI propaganda like the El Zaquwari tale, psyop? Answer the question.
