Dumb Leaders can only Fool the People for a period of time.Sooner or Later |
|
The People will realize DUMB don't work well for the Nation and its citizens.
Many of the GOP SHEEP have found the TRUTH and are mulling their position. Some have come over to REASON and Sanity. They will not support Dumb any longer.... Especially those who have figured out, THEY BEEN VOTING AGAINST THEIR OWN SELF INTEREST....
What makes the hard core GOP Sheep so unwavering, so tenacious?? Do they not see the damage? Are they THAT Brain Washed? Denial works wonders I guess cause 60% of Americans now see Bush is up to NO GOOD...I mean, look at his 6 year record...not one good idea.
Are we SAFE?
Are we looking at the BIG PICTURE?
Murphys Law sez Dumb don't last forever....sooner or later the peeps will wake up

5. Those who control the Spice has the World in their hands |

OIL is the Spice
Sooner or Later the OIL will dictate the powers of life and death....
Will common sense and reason play a part?
Too many peeps will feel pain and death while the SHIFT takes Place...if it ever does....

4. Dumb like foxes? The current adminstration has ripped of our treasury, |
|
has realized their ambitions to invade Iraq, has stripped us of our civil rights, has stolen at least 3 elections, and has decimated the lower and middle classes.
Were they just lucky to have achieved all this, or are they "dumb" like foxes?

15. If wishes were fishes we'd have a fish fry. I'm volunteering for my Dems |
|
this election, and I hope we can take back at least one if not both houses.
But I know the current admin isn't dumb. They are sociopaths, but they aren't dumb.
And if we confuse being sociopaths with being dumb, then it is us who are dumb.
Just my opinion.

19. I believe we are of the same mind...the TOP GOP is cunning and devious |
|
resulting in them reaping what they have
My contention is they have short term gain, perhaps 20 30 40 years or so
It is up to the sheep out there to determine where it should stop and implement long term goals that are for the COMMON GOOD.
The Solutions to a better way of life lies not in the Republican Party...they are counter productive for the Masses.
Since they have been at the Helm for all these years with hardly any gain for the Common Good...The Handwriting should be on the wall
But can the peeps READ?
Canardly. 40% of Americans are either aliterate or illiterate...which explains why we have so many grammatical errors seen here and elsewhere.
The answer for the Nation is to vote BLUE...the Pubs had their Op and blew it.

9. We have a long way to go in this country before.............. |
|
the majority of the people wake up. They will only begin to pay attention when it directly affects them in the pocketbook, their child is drafted or worse killed, they can't put food on the table or, God forbid, they have to cancel the cable TV. I am not an optimist about what really motivates people in this country.

12. Bush had 90 % after 9/11...today its 36%...meaning the peeps have smelled |
|
the coffee.
The TOP GOP has proven to be Inept, false leaders, Greedy, and Selfish.
They care not for the common good...including their own peeps who support the Party. Its almost a CULT
The Philosophy of Greed/selfishness must be replaced with benevolence and what is GOOD

10. If a majority of the people are fools |
|
then the fooling can go on for a long time.
Lincoln wasn't quite right. You may not be able to fool all of the people all of the time, but you don't have to. You only have to keep fooling enough of them all of the time.

13. Us Dems should be finding ways to DEPROGRAM on a collective |
|
basis
We only need a small percentage to effect change...that is what the GOP Leaders are afraid of
They are pissing in their pants like Percy of the Green Mile.

11. "Terra!" "Gay Weddings!" "Baby Killing!" "Gay Baby Killer Terra!" |
|
You get the idea. It has remarkable staying power. Let's not kid ourselves. We may take the House but it is not a sure thing. The Senate will be tougher - doable but tougher. Will people remember $3 gasoline in July when they are paying $2.10 in November? Hard to say.

14. We should be focusing on the BIG PICTURE...Its the PUBs who make our |
|
Nation weaker with a dumbass President and it should be the Pubs who are booted outta office.
They canardly choose a good Prez
They got no new Ideas that are worthy to the Common Good.
They have backed up/supported Crappy notions and ideas from the BushCo.
And, most are Peters, inept and confused.

Americans will continue to support "DUMB" bacause a large portion of the population is stupid. The coming wave of undereducated young people who, transfixed, gaze at their belly button rings and jiggle their butts, concerned only with the outcome of voting on some inane television contest will insure that the government of this country will continue to be decided by a minority of its population. Americans, on average, have a political memory of only five days duration. Gas price down, Republicans go up. We are doomed.

20. While many...all too many people out there confirm your assessment |
|
I have a glimmer of HOPE....more emotion perhaps but such is HOPE.
The challenge is to up our efforts to make peeps WANT to Learn, to elevate above the minutiae of who won the Pitt Game or who made the spread.
Tis a Challenge for the DEM Party.... as the PUB Party wants us to remain dumb....look at their efforts....all around us confirms.

It's telling them what they want to hear. That has a much longer shelf life.
