What will it take to rally the people to hit the streets in protest?

[in_cog_ni_to]

What will it take? How much will "WE THE PEOPLE" take?

They IGNORED the warnings of Bin Laden about to strike the U.S.

LIES about WMD

An ILLEGAL invasion of another sovereign nation

over 2,200 U.S, soldiers are dead because of LIES

This administration planned to attack Iraq prior to 911...911 was their excuse

They outed a covert CIA agent

Election FRAUD

They have stolen 3 elections

They have been spying on U.S. citizens for the last 5 freakin' years

They trashed the Geneva Conventions and TORTURE detainees

They torture CHILDREN

They torture WOMEN

They are now trying to make the idiot "Adolf George Hitler", DICTATOR, with Unitary Executive power

They will overturn Roe the first chance they get IF the spineless Dems confirm ScAlito

Damn near Every repuke in Congress is involved in the Abramoff scandal

They see our CONSTITUTION as "a G-d damn piece of paper" and have turned it upside down

They have silenced whistle-blowers

They attack anyone who speaks out against the regime

They have destroyed the middle class in this country

They have out sourced all our IT and manufacturing jobs

They have turned Congress into a useless body of our government

They give to the rich and take from the poor

They have implemented a DISASTROUS Medicare Bill written by THE PHARMACEUTICAL COMPANIES

They are trying to destroy Social Security

They have given corporations control of our country

They passed a DISASTROUS Bankruptcy Bill

The citizens of NOLA are STILL suffering from the LACK of Government help

They have BOUGHT the media and vice versa, which is now nothing but a WH propaganda outlet

We have higher gasoline prices

We have higher natural gas prices

They want to illegally search/bug/wiretap our homes with delayed notification for 1 MONTH

They want Librarians to give them info on what we READ?

The new HD digital TV will give them the POWER to monitor us

They have "lost" TRILLIONS of $$$$$$ and have NO CLUE where it went

They gave Congress a BOGUS cost of war estimate, KNOWINGLY


What else??? How much more will it take to get people to hit the damn streets? Honestly. We need a LEADER to lead us in this revolution and I just don't see ANYONE with the balls to do it. How much more will we take?

1. i'm afraid to imagine what it would take

but it's coming

[Strong Atheist]

2. Depression conditions like the 30's.

Nothing less will stir "the masses" from their complacency.

[converted_democrat]

3. When they are no longer allowed to possess porn, and they can't afford a

six-pack. That's my guess.. Or a draft, but I don't think our "leaders" are that stupid..

[in_cog_ni_to]

11. Well, the new HD digital TV that the GOVERNMENT is paying people to

buy, will enable the government to monitor the PORN watching. I knew there had to be a reason those bastards offered up money to help people buy the new digital converter boxes when TV goes Digital ONLY. :grr: THEY WILL BE MONITORING US! AGAIN!

[FloridaPat]

4. No jobs, no food, and a worthless dollar. Or maybe even

the Chinese taking over in forclosure for all those loans. Or just maybe when the electricity goes off because oil is too expensive and their reality TV programs became really real.

[TayTay]

5. Screwing up Medicare and creating a health emergency.

That should do it. This is massive and affects so many people in the country, it's just amazing.

Ahm, 12 states have declared public health emergencies over this. It's huge, it's not an abstract, it's not taking place somewhere else and it affects massive numbers of US citizens.

What a disaster!

[Fredda Weinberg]

6. a universal draft eom

[mopaul]

7. money, and the lack of it

[Child_Of_Isis]

8. Everyone took to the street already.

Thousands upon thousands upon thousands. It didn't even get any decent media attention. Most of our Dem leaders distanced themselves from the event. Most likely the next time we take to the streets we will be jailed for being "disruptors".

[newportdadde]

9. Starvation, no oil or EXTREME gas prices/shortage.

Baring those two events it will never happen.

[Sparkman]

10. Just like in Nazi Germany in the 1930's, NOTHING will rock the gravy boat.

[htuttle]

12. Hunger

[DanCa]

13. What will it take for us to protest the religious right policy makers.

I've been harping on that for months now. As long as something godd on tv I guess we wont.

[ReadTomPaine]

14. It will take a bold leader or 'super katrina' event to make it happen

My preference is the former, needless to say.

[Strawman]

15. This is a good list

But all these horrible things might not lead to the next New Deal. Poor people might be more inclined to turn to some charismatic leader of one of these mega churches with a theocratic, neofascist philosophy. Hell, that's what's already happening. Where else can they turn for help?

[in_cog_ni_to]

17. Eventually people who fund those churches

will have no more money to give. If they have no jobs, they can't donate to those churches. That "faith based initiative" is so flawed, it isn't even funny. Sooner or later those churches will be as poor as the people who attend them.:(

[Strawman]

18. Don't be so sure about that

People will give their last nickel to these crooks. And do you think any Xtian right-friendly govt in power during a Depression would create a new WPA? Nope, they'll give lots of faith based welfare with strings attached and lots of skimming off the top by these religious frauds. The secular welfare will be so shitty by comparison that most people will just swallow all the religious crap to get assistance.

[abluelady]

16. You've Got to Be Kidding

It will take sex in the oval office. :sarcasm:
