How do we win our country back?
If * wins, I hear lots of people saying they would like to move out of the country. My family and I are thinking seriously about moving to Canada. We're sickened by what fools and hateful, selfish people our fellow Americans have become. (Not you guys....you're the best!!) But then sometimes we think we need to stay and fight.
But how, exactly? What do you mean by "fight" when you say you want to stay and fight? What, exactly, are you going to do?
Personally, I think the left was sleeping while the Reich-Wing planned and plotted and bought up our airwaves. I honestly believe that their taking over the airwaves is the main reason they are in power now. The number of people I hear reciting Rush's talking points is mind-numbing! And there are little clones of him all over the radio dials in the smallest of towns. And that's not even mentioning the big media. As long as Reich-Wing propaganda is being injected into every corner of America without counter-point, I don't see how we have a chance. What can we do? For those who stay and fight, what is YOUR plan?

2. bring the terrorists of PNAC to justice
We need to make an example of these gangsters and prosecute and convict them and send them to JAIL.

That might just restore some dignity to government.

Evil people need to have the shit scared out of them that their actions might actually result in punishment.

Right now every one of these scumbags will have a nice golden parachute after the election, and they're all gonna go into cushy corporate or think-tank positions and get $50,000 a shot for speaking to other right-wing wannabe gangsters.

These people are crooks, they are criminal, and America is one big embarassment until they are thrown in jail and locked up so they can't hurt anyone else and they set an example to other powerhungry scumbags who might want to take over the most powerful country in the world.

3. But How?
Edited on Thu Oct-14-04 09:52 PM by OnionPatch
How can we change the mindset of all these people who are currently voting Republican? Until we do, how can we win elections? And if we don't win elections, how do we prosecute these criminals?
