Is that a roll of dimes in your pocket...or are you just happy ...
Edited on Fri Jan-09-04 10:44 PM by BackDoorMan
to see me, so you can rip me off somemore? Are they all rich, your friends? I mean rich, rich...do they all believe the bullshit myth that they are all going to be filthy rich if they just hang on long enough and support the fascist republicans? Is the few bucks they save a year on Bush's tax cuts worth it to them to have an uneducated populace, no health care, a polluted environment in our great industrial nation? Do they really love seeing all their money going to the military, multi-national corporations and for corporate welfare subsidies? Instead of to the wellbeing of the people of our own once-great-nation...is it worth it to them to save a few tax bucks to break unions that provide a decent living for our people, so huge corporations can make even more money...is slave labor here and abroad OK so corporations can make even more money and not pay taxes?
Is their whole life about money, greed and more money? Does human life mean so little to them that they will happily believe everything a lying republican owned corporate media tells them?

1. Nice post BDM
And to answer your question, yes there do seem to be some, even here. ProFreeTradeProNaftaAntiUnion Even had a poster tell us earlier in the week that UNION POWER NEEDS TO BE REINED IN. If that ain`t the funniest/stupidest thing I`ve ever heard.

3. In the early 1950's unions hit a high (of only) 36% and it's been

being busted down consistantly since, to a low now of around 10% of the working people...as if corporate management will look out for them, i.e. Enron, etc...

2. Yes, because they think the world is overpopulated
And everyone else can die but them. Then there will be more for them.
Funny but purely capitalistic countries are more populated because of the fact that people have large families in order to survive.

4. I've said it before...
...and I'll say it again. Many middle-class voters are mindless herd-animals. They don't try to make informed decisions, they simply vote for the most charismatic person, the individual who agrees with them most, or the canndidate who throws them a few short-term bones.

Compared to such individuals, most zombies or Borg Drones have more indipendence.

I'm sure left-wing views would become more popular if people would get their brains in gear, stop believing all the crap they're spoon-fed and make an informed political desision once in a while.


"ok, deep breaths. one, two, three, four..."

I'm just pissed the way our unions are portrayed, distorted and busted up at the expense of these greedy fascist pigs and their corporations! (As the people allow it, and watch and do nothing, passivity is as bad anything we can offer Bush/Rove.)

Cheers & support to Dennis Kucinich! http://www.kucinich.us/

Democrats, STOP attacking democrats.

6. In a choice between a fascist and a coward, Americans will choose
the fascist. Who exactly has been making a powerful case for the workers in this country? I'll back a fighting Dem anyday and I believe that the majority of Americans would do the same. We have had party leadership ready to bend over for Republicans and chant, "yes sir, may I please have another."
