Nothing to show for it?? Halliburton recieved an oil contract worth Billions!! The Bush Admin got exactly what they wanted from attacking Iraq.

Why should this guy be permitted to tell the truth the day after that other guy lied his ass off?

It appears war is our only remaining profitable export. What a sad commentary on the reality of our times!

Run Dennis, Run!

Ron Paul Press Release on Obama’s Iraq Speech:

Mission Not Accomplished

LAKE JACKSON, Texas–(EON: Enhanced Online News)– Sept.1, 2010

Congressman Ron Paul today released the following statement on President Obama’s speech from the Oval Office last night:

“The President’s announcement that all U.S. combat troops have left Iraq is no more believable than the ‘Mission Accomplished’ declaration was in 2003.

“Once again, we are being told the mission has been accomplished and our brave men and women are coming back home. Though the people are hopeful they remain skeptical, and rightfully so.

“The biggest problem is that success in Iraq is undefinable since the mission was never defined. The reasons given for the invasion were based on misinformation. Now, the war has cost us hundreds of billions of dollars and this has contributed significantly to our economic woes.

“Forty-four hundred Americans are dead, thirty thousand severely wounded, and more than a hundred thousand are suffering from serious health problems related to Post Traumatic Stress Syndrome. This alone should tell us that it was not worth the investment and the needless sacrifice of our young people and the taxpayers.

“It is deceitful to imply we will avoid hostilities with this new policy. We still have to contend with:

* the 50,000 troops carrying weapons remain in Iraq
* the 100,000 contractors that remain with more expected to go to Iraq
* the 9,000 special ops personnel trained in assassinations that remain in Iraq
* a huge embassy, bigger than the Vatican, that will remain
* Dozens of military bases that will stay
* Al Qaeda organizations that did not exist before the war
* Muqtada al Sadr, a strong nationalist who has gained much political power
* The fact that Iran benefits tremendously with the Shiites now in power in Iraq and is a close ally of al Sadr

“Osama bin Laden wins by ‘proving’ that America has an agenda of occupation in the Middle East. And, we continue to walk into his trap and hand him up his best recruitment tool in his efforts to incite hatred and terrorism against the United States.

“What’s worse, President Obama made it clear last night that the troops and resources leaving Iraq will not come home to defend our country or ease our economic woes. They will instead be diverted to Afghanistan, perhaps also Pakistan and, I fear, even Iran.

“From my viewpoint we are the losers in this fool’s errand of endless war. Tragically, this new policy is not one of peace but merely a charade that will severely undermine our national security and continue us down the path to bankruptcy—a threat that we best not long ignore.”

Most crazy people now make more sense than Barack Obama. Most fucking Teabaggers now make more sense than Barack Obama. Maybe we shouldn’t have elected a madman president.

Ron Paul and Dennis Kucinich….one of the few lone voices of REASON in our times.

Too bad America thinks otherwise.

Now eat cake citizens….

Let’s just have a Paul-Kucinich ticket and slam the door shut on all these other cretins, including Obama and his vile ilk…

No more Neocons or Neolibs.

The UN had outlawed mercenaries twice but just like the International Declaration of Human Rights, the USofA is not a signatory of those conventions. When will the USofA stop being a rouge nation and follow international law?

Holy fuck Dennis Run. Expose this fucking charade Obama. I think at this point Dennis could beat him.

the fucking neolibs are the articulate wing of the necon nazi demons. they are both out to plunder and destroy the greatest dream of mankind. these motherfuckers want our sons and daughters under their desk sucking their johnsons until their blood thirsty god comes a riding on a cloud of flatulent shit. fuck them and their spawn.

Your definition of ‘fucking neolibs’ deserves a spot in Websters.

I like you, I voted for you in round #1 of the Iowa Caucus in 2008, but it’s FEWER American troops, Dennis, not LESS. Don’t feel bad, this is America, most people are too stupid to know the diff.

Fewer or Less?
Use fewer with objects that can be counted one-by-one.
Use less with qualities or quantities that cannot be individually counted.
Incorrect: There were less days below freezing last winter.
Correct: There were fewer days below freezing last winter.
(Days can be counted.)
Correct: I drank less water than she did.
(Water cannot be counted individually here.)
When referring to time or money, less is normally used even with numbers. Specific units of time or
money use fewer only in cases where individual items are referred to.
Examples: I have less than an hour to do this work.
I have less time to do this work.
I have less money than I need.
I have less than twenty dollars.
He worked fewer hours than I did.

We ARE the Great Satan.

who the fuck cares

It wouldn’t have mattered if McCain won, the same policies would have been passed and pushed as “conservative” measures. Their voting history must be scrutinized to know the candidate.

So your only criticism of Dennis Kucinich is his grammar usage? Maybe if you were less critical, you would have so few friends. That is just flat-out the ultimate nit-picking.

Your profile picture describes you handily.

The man who should be president. Oh, that’s right, we only elect movie star types here in Monkeyland.

Exactly, both men running were madmen. As usual, the Plute-approved choices were evil against eviler.

On this particular matter (foreign wars), I agree 100% with Ron Paul. It’s just too bad he marches to overturn Roe v. Wade, supports the dismantling of social security and welfare, and wants to eliminate nearly all government regulations on corporations; all of which is wrong.

Why couldn’t Kucinich be more charismatic and less nerdy? We could really use a major political leader with real ideals and ideas.

No chance. Things would have been vastly better with McCain. Under the vast Democratic majorities, Congress would have reigned in the excesses of the executive. Under Obama, the huge Democratic majorities have been silenced and things have only gotten worse. Obama is truly the worst thing that ever happened to this country.

Under Bush, only Republicans defended fascism. Under Obama, not only Republicans defend fascism, but so do you. Obama is demonstrably twice as bad as Bush was.

Sounds like pretty good feedback to me.

Fewer, as in fewer people, live bodies.
Less, a lower number, as if “troops” was just a number.

Nit-picky, sure, but helpful for the man who should be president.

C’mon people! Get real! Making war is a business a real big money making business. The trouble is, only a few people really do well making big bucks in the war business. Halliburton, Black Water, Boeing and other defense contractors and they do it on the backs of young men and women who willingly do their bidding at the expense of perhaps losing their life. Cannon fodder for the big money boys. Bushy boy started it and Obama is going to oblige the big money boys and keep the war business going. Our military budget is the largest in the world and the big money people in this country are going to make sure it stays that way.

Too bad you don’t understand he questions the CONSTITUTIONALITY of Roe V Wade being a FEDERAL law and it going to State jurisdiction. Supports the dismantling of Social Security for FUTURE use and won’t touch current Social Security enrolled people’s money.

And about the regulations, you’re only part right.

Now what I want to know is who told you this, why do spread it around as fact, and what good has it done?

“… the State Department’s plan to double the amount of mercenaries through next year…”

fail.

I bet next time you guys will vote for a candidate like Ron Paul or Kucinich instead of the usual ‘lesser of two evils”.

Have we learned our lesson yet?

I guess, if you are the goddamn grammar police. *rolls her fucking eyes over and over*

or cynthia mckinney if you aren’t a racist, sexist bag of shit.

Not (“new”) news, but related to the staggering figure of vets suffering from PTSD:

“I am under a lot of pressure to not diagnose PTSD”
A secret recording reveals the Army may be pushing its medical staff not to diagnose post-traumatic stress disorder. The Army and Senate have ignored the implications.
http://www.salon.com/news/special/coming_home/2009/04/08/tape

“When Sgt. X went to see McNinch with a tape recorder, he was concerned that something was amiss with his diagnosis. He wanted to find out why the psychologist had told the medical evaluation board that handles disability payments that Sgt. X did not, in fact, have PTSD, but instead an “anxiety disorder,” which could substantially lower the amount of benefits he would receive if the Army discharged him for a disability.”

PTSD is NOT a condition which can be glibly swept under the carpet. Even with intense, sustained treatment, the prognosis is awful; this disorder doesn’t generally tend to get better with time.

The condition causes the amygdala – a collection of nuclei in the brain which controls, among other emotional reactions, fear and panic – to become hyperreactive. Whereas most subjects habituate to startling/fear-inducing stimuli, the amygdalae of sufferers of PTSD is “stuck” in the “on” position when exposed to a stimulus that activates traumatic memories (which can be something like fireworks going off on 4 July)…and the bureaucrats want to write these combat veterans off as “anxiety” cases.

Any politician (or anyone in general) who invokes the notion of “supporting our troops” without setting aside appropriate resources for dealing with veterans suffering from PTSD which they got as a result of this war of aggression is a hypocrite of the worst kind.

dont forget many of these private security forces (mercenaries) are owned or heavily invested in by neocon republicans, oh well they might as well profit from a war that they screwed up and shouldnt have started anyway.

Yep, Cheney and Bush owed ‘em one.
http://www.time.com/time/nation/article/0,8599,320735-2,00.html#ixzz0yJuLbtzR

If you make your money before gaining control of an Army, is it still called profiteering?

He’s got a hot wife!!

Tried that with Reagan.

angry

I agree. Neocons are the ones who persuade the absolute lowest common denominator, allowing for absolutely crazy shit to happen. The libs are there to make intelligent people feel like they have someone to vote for.

Kucinich-Paul. FTFY

Why is it that an anit-war president-CEO can expand the fronts of war without a peep from the peeps that selected him from the 2008 lineup?

The lineup was–

Dem: Minority, Female
Rep: War Vet, and nobody that would even come close

With any candidate above, if you were to go against the CEO policy, in asking to end the war, you are (with Dem 1) – Racist, (with Dem 2) – Sexist (with Rep 1) – Anti-American

Genius really. I don’t hold much hope of my fellow Americans being engaged or informed enough to effect a material change, but the candidates put forth were, by their very persons, enough to limit open objection to the official policy, which is always ‘war’.

In a land where we have let the crooks write the law and the lawyers guard the crooks,. . . well, we’re fucked.

There is another war being waged, and we are most assuredly losing it.

Whoa now, easy girl.
It’s all good, it’s just a freakin’ dum’ass thread on some two-bit quasi-political/news website.
Come on, calm down and let’s go get a drink or 7.

‘Scuse me but why do you say Kucinich is nerdy? Most probably because that’s how the neo-nazi/neo-conservative media WANTS you to percieve him.
I worked for Dennis; was actually on the road with him in ’04 (as a paid multi-media guy, not a supporter…at first anyway), and although he is an incredibly caring and empathic guy he is anything but nerdy, trust me. This guy can speak and get people fired up. I followed and filmed him around all over New England and people who knew nothing of him would get completely enthused as he spoke. Really. That’s why you NEVER get to see him actually speak.

God damm, holy shit … you are RIGHT.

here were we for the democratic primaries, when we could have made a better choice? We could have had Kucinich. What will happen next time? The same small groups picking the candidate, because it is all decided by who can attract money?

“Supports the dismantling of Social Security for FUTURE use”

Yeah, that’s what I said. Am I’m strongly against that. About the regulations, I’m completely correct. A simple google search of ‘Ron Paul Regulations’ answers that question definitively. Here is one: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Political_positions_of_Ron_Paul

Now what I want to know is why you’re asserting that Ron Paul is someone different than his written political positions indicate, and what good has it done?

Fuck them, fuck their mothers, and fuck the entire van load of drunken sailors that gang-banged their fucking mothers in the parking lot of those strip bars the night they were conceived.

Cynthia McKinney, to use an old navy expression, is lower than whale shit and if she ran for office could not draw flies.

Very significant point: Perhaps outcome determinative on the Iraq issue. Thank you Dago T for the edification.

Perhaps your parents should be prosecuted for abuse based on your irrational post.

Questioning the Constitutionality of Roe v Wade means he approves of the Government’s grubby hands meddling with our female population’s reproductive organs. Paul is a religious fanatic and has been cozy with very questionable charterers.

His reaches that right conclusion on foreign wars for the wrong reason: he is an across the board isolationist.

He is for deregulation – so the corporate interests can engage in destructive practices.

Paul and Kucinich are like oil and water.

I think Cynthia Mckinney would be a great candidate if she ran, however your kind of garbage talk is what divides this country. “Your a racist, sexist bag of shit” if you don’t vote for her? How about voting for the person over what gender they are or what race they are? How about voting the person over the party. The reason we have such a right wing republican party right now is because their moderates were defeated in 06 and 08 by some very conservative democrats. When you vote in more conservative anti progressive democrats it does nothing but split the party. I would rather have moderate republicans than conservative democrats, because look at how effectively the dems have run the senate since they took over and they are the party in power which means they not the republicans who filibuster everything will be blamed and the conservatives will gain even more power. People in this country are stupid, they can’t see more than 5 feet in front of their faces. Things going wrong? Blame everyone else but yourself. Want to make it right actually vote your conscience, until then this country will continue its horrible path to oblivion

Well yes, Mckinney too. But I was speaking of the two “main” guys on our “alternative” list. Maybe someone woke up on the wrong side of bed today?

More charismatic? Have you seen him speak in session on the House floor ever???

And are you looking for Billy Graham? Or maybe “Keep hope alive”? Or maybe “Yes we can!!!!!” Yeah, we see how “charisma” works for us huh?

Let’s see here, I’ll use YOUR own source to make a point:

Wiki even says:

Paul is a Non-interventionist….hmmmm we could use that.
Paul was against the Iraq and Afghan wars from the START…yep…we could have used that too
Paul is against Israel policy and fighting for Israel and questions our relationship with them….yep…so far so good.
Paul rejects the notion that Iran is a ‘threat’ and consistently points to the lies about their “weapons programs”….roger that too
Paul voted to end trade restrictions in Cuba
Paul is a PROPONENT of free trade and REJECTS protectionism, but opposes NAFTA and GAT….roger that too…so far he sounds like a wet dream….let’s go further.
Paul opposes Illegal Immigration and is for secure borders and against “anchor baby” practice…so far he’s my guy

Paul wants limited FEDERAL (key word here) Government is PERSONAL matters or matters that should be relegated to STATES. Or more “Republic” version of Government, the way it used to be….sure could use that too…unless you like the “FEDERATION”.

Paul’s stance on business is one where he sees regulations harming many businesses for no reason other than bureaucracy. He wants to dismantle the CIA, DHS, DHHS, DOE, and many of the alphabet agancies….why…because they are useless, period.

Paul opposes the Federal Reserve and wants to get them out of our money management and into the hands of our Government, the way originally intended.Check on that too.

Paul believes in the right to bear arms…and supports the second Amendment…thanks Paul.

Opposes eminent domain, domestic surveillance, Patriot Act

Opposes Affirmative Action as it IS A FORM OF RACISM ITSELF…check on that too

Supports stem cell research

On pollution he says : “We as property owners can’t violate our neighbors’ property. We can’t pollute their air or their water. We can’t dump our garbage on their property …. Too often, conservatives and libertarians fall short on defending environmental concerns, and they resort to saying, ‘Well, let’s turn it over to the EPA. The EPA will take care of us …. We can divvy up the permits that allow you to pollute.’ So I don’t particularly like that method.”

Hmmm, he might have a point there.

Any point where Paul OPPOSES SOMETHING on social issue such as abortion, gay marriage, education, etc…is NOT because he opposes them, he opposes the FEDERAL GOVERNMENT involved in such matters, and feels these issue should be relegated to the STATES. It’s a difference of JURISDICTION, not the ISSUE itself. But many meme that he is against these issues entirely.

Wrong again and again and again.

Now name we ONE person who has a (D) or (R) after their name in the upper echelons of Government NOW, that even comes close to his record for issues that SERVE AMERICA FIRST.

You can’t, but you’ll take a few tidbits that you disagree with him on and throw out the baby with the bath water. Which is why you Paul “haters” will get what you deserve over and over again….the BUSHES AND OBAMAS of the world…and you’ll make the rest of us who want the madness to end suffer right along with you..

Congrats….now go eat cake.

Abolsutely! It’s a Republican jobs program! You’re not against the government creating JOBS now, are you? It’s just that we don’t have any bridges, roads, or schools to show for it. Iraq has lots of ‘em in tiny piles of rubble, though. And then we can pay Halliburton some more to build new ones. It’s about the jobs, people. ;-)

Unfortunately, we only elect candidates that can attract more than 10 votes.

At what?

Yes, and we have the competition beat, hands down. Thank God for that!!!

THE THEORY AND PRACTICE OF
OLIGARCHICAL COLLECTIVISM
by
Emmanuel Goldstein

“In one combination or another, these three super-states are permanently at war, and have been so for the past twenty-five years. War, however, is no longer the desperate, annihilating struggle that it was in the early decades of the twentieth century. It is a warfare of limited aims between combatants who are unable to destroy one another, have no material cause for fighting and are not divided by any genuine ideological difference This is not to say that either the conduct of war, or the prevailing attitude towards it, has become less bloodthirsty or more chivalrous. On the contrary, war hysteria is continuous and universal in all countries, and such acts as raping, looting, the slaughter of children, the reduction of whole populations to slavery, and reprisals against prisoners which extend even to boiling and burying alive, are looked upon as normal, and, when they are committed by one’s own side and not by the enemy, meritorious. But in a physical sense war involves very small numbers of people, mostly highly-trained specialists, and causes comparatively few casualties. The fighting, when there is any, takes place on the vague frontiers whose whereabouts the average man can only guess at, or round the Floating Fortresses which guard strategic spots on the sea lanes. In the centres of civilization war means no more than a continuous shortage of consumption goods, and the occasional crash of a rocket bomb which may cause a few scores of deaths. War has in fact changed its character. More exactly, the reasons for which war is waged have changed in their order of importance. Motives which were already present to some small extent in the great wars of the early twentieth centuury have now become dominant and are consciously recognized and acted upon.”

This is an important read because it so accurately describes the present. And how in the world did Orwell so perfectly understand the future back in the 1940s?

THE THEORY AND PRACTICE OF
OLIGARCHICAL COLLECTIVISM
by
Emmanuel Goldstein

The primary aim of modern warfare (in accordance with the principles of doublethink, this aim is simultaneously recognized and not recognized by the directing brains of the Inner Party) is to use up the products of the machine without raising the general standard of living. Ever since the end of the nineteenth century, the problem of what to do with the surplus of consumption goods has been latent in industrial society. At present, when few human beings even have enough to eat, this problem is obviously not urgent, and it might not have become so, even if no artificial processes of destruction had been at work. The world of today is a bare, hungry, dilapidated place compared with the world that existed before 1914, and still more so if compared with the imaginary future to which the people of that period looked forward. In the early twentieth century, the vision of a future society unbelievably rich, leisured, orderly, and efficient – a glittering antiseptic world of glass and steel and snow-white concrete – was part of the consciousness of nearly every literate person. Science and technology were developing at a prodigious speed, and it seemed natural to assume that they would go on developing. This failed to happen, partly because of the impoverishment caused by a long series of wars and revolutions, partly because scientific and technical progress depended on the empirical habit of thought, which could not survive in a strictly regimented society. As a whole the world is more primitive today than it was fifty years ago. Certain backward areas have advanced, and various devices, always in some way connected with warfare and police espionage, have been developed, but experiment and invention have largely stopped, and the ravages of the atomic war of the nineteen-fifties have never been fully repaired. Nevertheless the dangers inherent in the machine are still there. From the moment when the machine first made its appearance it was clear to all thinking people that the need for human drudgery, and therefore to a great extent for human inequality, had disappeared. If the machine were used deliberately for that end, hunger, overwork, dirt, illiteracy, and disease could be eliminated within a few generations. And in fact, without being used for any such purpose, but by a sort of automatic process – by producing wealth which it was sometimes impossible not to distribute – the machine did raise the living standards of the average humand being very greatly over a period of about fifty years at the end of the nineteenth and the beginning of the twentieth centuries.

Last One. Can you imagine the benefit to our country if the money and human resources necessary to fight and support the Iraq and Afghanistan wars had been plowed into building and staffing new schools, hospitals, libraries, senior centers, etc. or, how about the shared benefit from replacing our country’s decaying infra structure with new roads, bridges, and renewable energy power plants, etc. According to the powers to be, we don’t have any money for that, but we sure as hell have all the money in the world (including China’s money) to fight a phony war based upon lies and deceit. I can’t even contemplate the above without feeling great shame and disgust which brings me to tears. What has happened to our once great country and where we you and I as it sank into the abyss.

The essential act of war is destruction, not necessarily of human lives, but of the products of human labour. War is a way of shattering to pieces, or pouring into the stratosphere, or sinking in the depths of the sea, materials which might otherwise be used to make the masses too comfortable, and hence, in the long run, too intelligent. Even when weapons of war are not actually destroyed, their manufacture is still a convenient way of expending labour power without producing anything that can be consumed. A Floating Fortress, for example, has locked up in it the labour that would build several hundred cargo-ships. Ultimately it is scrapped as obsolete, never having brought any material benefit to anybody, and with further enormous labours another Floating Fortress is built. In principle the war effort is always so planned as to eat up any surplus that might exist after meeting the bare needs of the population. In practice the needs of the population are always underestimated, with the result that there is a chronic shortage of half the necessities of life ; but this is looked on as an advantage. It is deliberate policy to keep even the favoured groups somewhere near the brink of hardship, because a general state of scarcity increases the importance of small privileges and thus magnifies the distinction between one group and another. By the standards of the early twentieth century, even a member of the Inner Party lives an austere, laborious kind of life. Nevertheless, the few luxuries that he does enjoy his large, well-appointed flat, the better texture of his clothes, the better quality of his food and drink and tobacco, his two or three servants, his private motor-car or helicopter – set him in a different world from a member of the Outer Party, and the members of the Outer Party have a similar advantage in comparison with the submerged masses whom we call ” the proles “. The social atmosphere is that of a besieged city, where the possession of a lump of horseflesh makes the difference between wealth and poverty. And at the same time the consciousness of being at war, and therefore in danger, makes the handing-over of all power to a small caste seem the natural, unavoidable condition of survival.

Zeitgiest addendum movie on youtube may help you work out this problem. He does talk of a VP type world above.

A government controlled by capitalist corporate ruling elites requires perennial wars otherwise their monopoly will perish. It is up to the people to change this order by whatever means it takes.

Money definitely is an attraction to politicians! Don’t expect to ever find a 3rd or indie party candidate getting good air time at the presidential debates. The Reps/Dems hijacked the Committee for Presidential Debates away from the non-partisan League of Women Voters in 1988. OpenDebates.org

Dennis….please run for president in 2012!

Thank you very much, Dennis! Take a bow!

Let’s keep them separate. Two voices are better than one, and let’s home their voice is heard. Don’t want either one as president, (bought, paid for, owned, and silenced) but a strong showing and a clear voice is needed. The single voices speaking truth are strangely absent from our present congress. Nation money, and loyalty oaths to the party machine and money keep the corporate agenda running smoothly. Let’s hope a couple other old guys decide to wake up and speak the truth before their party takes them down in a blaze of glory

“Now name we ONE person who has a (D) or (R) after their name in the upper echelons of Government NOW, that even comes close to his record for issues that SERVE AMERICA FIRST”.

Dennis Kucinich!

He is a pacifist (against war, itself) and while always voting against war and war funding he is also pushing to develop a Department of Peace.

He wants to end the death penalty because it’s not only barbaric but racist in practice.

He has fought tirelessly for a single-payer health care system because all Americans, not just the wealthy ones, should get health care.

He is basically “pro-life” in that he believes all life is sacred (he’s a vegan) but votes Pro-Choice because he also believes every person should be able to make their own decisions.

He supports same-sex marriage because everyone, regardless of gender preference, should be treated equally.

He supports the decriminalization of marijuana.

He is against NAFTA and the WTO because they promote lack in the U.S. and other countries.

He supports free education from preschool through a Bachelors Degree.

He supports immigration reform and giving resident undocumented workers “a clear road map to legal status”.

He opposes Israel’s occupation of Palestine.

He supports the Bolivarian Revolution in Venezuela.

He wants to normalize relations with Cuba and does not believe that Iran is a threat to anyone.

He wants to restore family farms in the U.S.

And, he is against privatization of Social Security. He believes that every American should be able to retire at 65 with full benefits because, after a lifetime of work, they deserve it.

Overall, the biggest difference between Paul and Kucinich is which side they’re on. Both are basically libertarian but Paul is a right-wing Capitalist. Kucinich is more like the social democrats of Europe.

Don’t forget General Electric (GE).

The people should have elected YOU as President instead of Obama! We would have completely vacated Iraq back in 2009! But the people were swooned by Obama’s grand performance…not realizing he was just an actor in a political suit! Fire this totally incompetent imposter!!

As usual Kucinich is on the money. This is a huge problem and is sort of the opposite of the silver lining in this situation. Do we want our 50 thousand non-combat troops in a support position for defence contractors?

Now if these private contractors are truly rebuilding Iraq, then fine but I doubt this is post-war Germany rebuilding these contractors are doing.

We need someone like Kucinich who speaks the truth articulately very well. This outweighs anything who’s appearance may not field your dreams of what a president ought to be. For instance: the “charismatic” presidents for the past 3 decades did not prevent the crap(s) we are facing today but contributed to it’s causes. Professionalism is what we need at the times we need it to protect our right and the Constitution. “Charisma” wastes our money and clouds the truth in BS.

fuck you. I have been listening to this shit for two years. I am just throwing it around myself, dipshit.

Excuse me while I LOL again. I am what’s dividing this country, eh? Have you looked at what so-called liberals have to say about Sarah Palin and Hillary Clinton?

Have you seen what they call tea partiers?

Have you seen the division spread around by shitfucks like yourself for more than two goddamn years??????

Fuck you, you dumbass hateful, racebaiting piece of filthy dogshit.

I have not divided a thing. I have listened to PURE SHIT, like yourself, racebait others for too long now.

Fuck off and fuck your mother.

Wow quite the troll aren’t you? if bad language is all you have as an argument please keep it to yourself. As far as liberals go, I consider myself one based on my own view of what being a liberal is. I could care less if anyone else calls themselves one or not. I am curious though what have the “so-called” liberals said about Palin and Clinton? Just because they are women doesn’t mean they are the better choice, there are some very very conservative women out there who I believe give women a bad name. Sharon Angel for one. As for the tea partiers, where do you think they get their support from? The rich mostly who pray about the stupid people of this country into thinking tax cuts for all is a good idea. The gap between the rich and the poor has never been greater, yet many of the poor, even middle class people believe the lie of trickle down economics. Oh and you made my point for me, thanks for saying such disgusting things about me and my mother. You don’t divide a thing huh? Only people who are angry, hurt people that don’t even believe what they themselves say lash out in the way that you have. If your just a troll trying to get a rise, please go find some right wing website to flame on. You will fit right in.

With my 100th Disqus comment, I’d just like to say:

GOD BLESS DENNIS KUCINICH!

If Dennis Kucinich and Ron Paul ran together we would have a great POTUS ticket.

His fucking post was totally fucking rational. Get fucking real.

“Now name we ONE person who has a (D) or (R) after their name in the upper echelons of Government NOW, that even comes close to his record for issues that SERVE AMERICA FIRST”.

How about ANYBODY. Dennis has been in Congress for 14 years and has authored exactly 3, yes 3, bills that have passed. 2 of these were to name Post Offices and one was to make a Revolutionary War hero a citizen. In what fantasy world does this constitute a succesful Congressman? And you people think he would make a good President? Please share your drugs with those of us that live in this idiots district.

Talk about not understanding!!! I LIKE KUCINICH! When I said that he is a bit nerdy, and I wish he were more charismatic, it was not to be overly critical.

BUT I do wish that Kucinich had more charisma (and I have seen televised speeches), because then he would have an actual chance of getting elected. Maybe it SHOULD be the case that charisma had nothing to do with electability, but it simply ISN’T the case. Go ahead and try to live in the SHOULD BE LIKE THIS WORLD if you want, but we don’t actually live there. In this world, for better or worse, to get elected president you need to get people who are not news junkies, policy wonks, etc. to vote for you. And they need to know you, which is how Kucinich wins in Cleveland, or you need some charisma.

This, of course, has nothing to do with anything I said.

I do not generally comment on web sites but I needed to drop in and say thanks for making this, I absolutely agree with the fact and with a little luck people today can understand this argument.

There are three things that can destroy a preacher the glory the gold and the girls.
