With over a TRILLION wasted on a useless war, all going into the pockets of the rich
I highly doubt there is ANYTHING the rich can't or
won't do to smash any resistance by
the middle class and poor. I never cease
to be amazed at the power money has to corrupt.

How can the little guy ever hope to stand up
against the literal billions of dollars
available to smash him?

Sorry to be such a downer, and I'm sure Samson
has been brought down before, but it's rare.

Money does not "disappear." It changes hands. Whose hands have the War Trillion today?

2. War.
It feeds the rich while it buries the poor.

4. We can win because we have the numbers. The rich are 10%; that
means, however, that we have to be in charge of the message this time. We cannot leave it up to the candidates. We should have piled on the Kerry swiftboaters for their outlandish attack. This time we will not wait. We must be the swiftboaters. It is time to fight fire with fire. The future of the earth itself is on the line!!!!!!!!!!!
