We have to de-NeoCon and maybe even de-GOP the country, just as Germany had to de-Nazify. And then we need laws to prevent the proliferation of their ideas, just as Germany has laws against Nazi propagandizing.

34. No it goes like this, I grant thee Liberal three wishes. |

A republican Genie grants a Liberal Democrat three wishes under one condition. What ever the Dem wishes the genie grants double to all republicans. Whats your first wish lib? a million dollars. bingo a mill for him two mill for all repub's. Whats your second wish lib? a beautiful girl friend. he now has a beautiful girlfriend standing next to him and see's these repub's walking around with two beautiful girlfriends. The Genie then says this is the third and final wish, what do you wish for? Well I always wanted to donate a kidney.

I'll accept your wishes as a given. Here's my own beyond that.
1)That once they are at least in a co-equal position, the Democrats become DEMOCRATS again. That means stop enabling the corporate takeover of our country and the world, become a real balance to "free market Darwinism" and start pushing for things like anti-trust laws, workers' rghts and supporting (instead of undermining) the middle and lower classes.
2)That they start doing to "conservatism" what the GOP has successfully done to "liberalism" for 30 years. Marginalize and dscredit the basic philosophy of Greed and Elitism that conservatism really is.
3)I need a girlfriend. (Okay, that's not political, but no harm trying to sneak that one in there to the genie too.)

9. hmmmm.... today's wish list includes... |
|
1. A truly progressive tax system that eliminates corporate welfare support via taxes, and taxes wealth as effectively as income.
2. An end to public subsidies of the massive global corporate profit complex that is responsible for cheap, industrially-produced food-like substances.
3. A shift of the public money used to prop up the auto and petroleum industries, into a massive investment in public infrastructure of electric car charging stations and public transportation.
wistfully, Bright

If you had those two, you wouldn't even need a third wish - you could save it for the next disaster.

13. Here's 3 real throwbacks. |
|
1. I wish that the plot to kill JFK had been discovered and it's instigators and participants arrested and jailed for life.
2. I wish that America had developed and mandated non-polluting energy sources and viable electric cars in the 60's.
3. I wish that Richard Nixon had never run for public office of any kind.

14. I'm still working on the exact 3 I'd wish for, but one certainly involves |
|
a pterodactyl swooping down from a volcanic-red sky, sinking its talons into Ann Coulter, and carrying her off to gnaw her worthless bones to the last bite.
I don't know if pterodactyls had talons. But the one in my wish does. And they're real damn sharp.

UNIVERSAL PEACE. Is that so damn hard that we need a Genie to grant it? Oh, never mind. OK, I changed my mind, I want two. The end of hunger. We have enough food, just need better distribution.......and someone to care that it gets distributed. Oh, OK....I want three. I want this entire administration to get what they deserve. Jail time and all. Sorry, Im a slow thinker. :)

25. Three wishes - I wouldn't waste one on shrub. |
|
1. Peace on Earth for the next 10,000 years. (which would require everyone to have basic life needs met in order to avoid war and asassinations over recourses)
2. Technology for cars and power plants to run on garbage without polluting.
3. All those disease that kill people one inch at a time go away (HIV, cancer, lupus, etc)

29. 1) universal healthcare 2) stronger public schools... |
|
including better pay for teachers, and 3) a very dynamic, popular, gets things done type of democrat elected as president in 2008.
(I thought at first impeachment and resignation would be nice for Bush, but then we'd get Cheney and he's no picnic in the park either.

36. I want the environment we had before the Industrial Revolution. |
|
Second, all the worlds weapons and weapons producing installations, I want them to vanish into a blackhole.
Third, all people who control the governments of the world, I want a floating ticking counter above their heads that shows clearly if they are 'good' or 'evil'. I want it to be permanent if they ever pick politics as a career.
