The Republicans need a war to survive.

[slater71]

I think this has been lost in all the talk. They need a war to exist. Think about it. War is all they talk about which causes Kerry to respond. If the war in Iraq never happened, then what would they run on? The economy? These people can`t talk about the domestic things. Why in the hell don`t the people see this? We all know that would not go far. I heard that Gingrich was advising the campaign and I can`t help feel that he has done the " If we wrap ourselves in the flag, the democrats will never defeat us." deal on the repubs. I think they have convinced a lot of the people that they need him to be safe. I hope it`s not to late for people to see the real Bush and how hollow he is.

1. It's getting close to make it happen and not smell fishy...

2. The USA is addicted to war.

3. No, all they need is someone to hate...

War being the ultimate manifestation of that, but it really doesnt matter the degree. If there is a "group" (gays, environmental wackos, anti-gun, pro-abortion, separation of church and state nuts, non-Christians, etc, etc, etc) they will survive. Its their creed, their single "purpose" for existence itself.

4. Yes. They also need a divided America: Liberal vs. Conservative...

"Intellectual elite" vs. working folks, "God-fearing people" vs. the Godless and gays, on and on and on.

Only in a severely divided America can this right-wing government stand, so it foments the divisions along class lines, racial lines, sexual-preference lines, etc. -- "You're either with us, or against us."

It's a very destructive path, and it must be **changed**.
