I'm tired. This fight seems so endless. I think its time to throw everyone out of office and start new. New elections with grassroot people--you know regular folks. The one's who have to balance their check books. The one's who know what struggle is. The one's in finacial ruin because of medical bills.
I can bet that we would have universal health care, better education, reduced arms forces and more diplomats, property taxes that are fair, insurance rates that are reasonable, mom and pop stores that can survive next to walmart, Americans producing real goods--not shipping out our resources for China to mold--only to sell back to us.
Its time to throw out the official that are boot stamping the constitution.

2. Yes, and we work so hard for such tiny gains |
|
Battling big Insurance, Big Media, Big Pharma, Hate Radio is exhausting. Even if we had honest media in this country, next month's elections would be a slam dunk.

4. The fight is not endless but I'm afraid of the possible conclusion. |
|
Other nations have been this divided in the past and it did not end well.
I'm thinking of Britain in the 1600s.

6. I was really tired and depressed after |
|
the torture thing was ratified by congress, but I am rejuvinated since. The house of cards is falling apart and they only thing that can save them is rigging the machines. We have to have enough turnout that even that fails. Its a crying shame that in america we have to worry about voter fraud and being a nation of torture.

8. tired can be a good sign--when you are in danger, adrenaline pumps |

Once Bush dipped 50% in the polls and stayed there, I felt that however ugly things get, they will shake out in the right way.
There are still moments of frustration, like so many elected Dems timidity and complicity, and willingness to only tell half-truths to defeat the GOP's full lies, but even within the Democratic Party, our efforts are starting to pay off. Their quieter foreign policy, the misnamed "neoliberalism" has been openly rejected and ejected from South America.
History goes in cycles, and the Bush regime was a desperate attempt to extend the conservative cycle that they correctly guessed was ending, just as it did at the beginning of the Civil War, the turn of the 20th century, and the election of FDR.
Their rearguard action is going to make the wave of history crash on them that much harder.
Those of us that noticed earlier are like the first six waves that battered them just enough to throw them off balance before the seventh drowns them.

9. As long as there are neocon rethugs holding political office.......... |
|
the fight must continue. It is easy to burnout on this day-in and day-out struggle of fighting the GOP corruption, BUT you must continue on. The bastards are finally being exposed for what and who they are and I anticipate many of the GOP will fall in November '06. Someday we may eradicate this country and the world of the neocon disease and infection.

10. Then you have the WRONG AVATAR. You are advocating for GOP wins |
|
whenever you suggest that ALL be thrown out together - because that tactic only serves to maintain GOPs in power.

13. I don't necesarily think so.... I was previously reading some of |
|
Kucinich's speaches.... and wished there were more true American politicians like him... and I was thinking it is so tiring to keep fighting and how disheartening that any democrat, that any American would vote for toture. They committed treason in my eyes.

15. Except MOST Democrats voted AGAINST torture - what YOU advocate is |
|
for Kucinich to NEVER become head of a committee in congress. Or Conyers. Or Waxman.
I personally distrust anyomne who posts as if all incumbents should get the boot. Because as a politcal tactic that only serves to help the Republican party, and most everyone knows that by now.
