Bill Clinton Is My Hero!

----Your vote counts more now then ever-This world is coming apart and to put the wrong people in charge can be not only dangerous but life threatning to us and the rest of the world-Republicans represent big oil and big money-The demos represent the adverage working class person-The Republicans spend tax money-your money on destroying other countries and then having American companies like Haliburton clean it up and overcharge America by billions-The Republicans remove social programs that help adverage families with heath care and school loans-Do you want 4 more years of that?-We have a leader who is not afraid to bomb a country that has nukes!-Does that sound right?-Would you?If you don't vote then don't complain when your drafted to go to war somewhere-

 

I am an active voter.....but after the last two elections, im not so much convinced that my vote counts. I think the Electoral college system is screwy......how sad that we are losing faith in our civic duty?

 

This is from a post I made in the Politics sub-forum:

I really hope a lot of ya'll saw, 'MOYERS ON AMERICA: "Capitol Crimes", on PBS. It was about Jack Abramoff, Tom DeLay, and the K Street Project. I never thought I'd see such a hard hitting, tell it like it is, 2 hour in depth investigation and explaination of this still growing mess. The show is a year old, but it's still worth seeing. And it being shown now, with the Foley story, and it looks like Hastert will be going too, and five weeks until the election.

My favorite quote from the show is good to remember, "...the people who are in charge now have a vested interest in increasing our cynicism. They are the party of cynicism against government. And when they do these things, that's just an added benefit that they've managed to get the cynicism numbers up where they have. That's good for the Republican Party..."

OLD DAD-Do you watch Bill Moyer?-His show is getting less funny and more serious about all this stuff going on-Great-Tonight he had Senator and hopefully our next president; John Kerry- He ; Kerry layed it out real good about what George is doing to put an end to Mother Earth as we know it-He had alot of good facts and he held back no punches-He admitted to taking the high road during the debates with Bush-He could have ripped him apart on being his non military record, but he didn;t and regrets it-He said he would not hold back anything against Bush again and he may run again-Ya know Carrey has a good record and was a war hero-He is worth my vote on that alone-It shows he cares about another persons life-That comes in handy when you are asking thousands of young people to give theirs for this country-The current president is not affected by the body count-it shows-He won;t talk to the grieving moms and dads that he took from them-under false pretenses-He cannot look them in the eyes-Anyway they also had Robin Williams on there who was funny as hell but real seious alot and knew alot on whats happening- All and all a good show-It may be time for Jon Stewert to get a little more serious as he has a huge following-more then the "real" news channels-They showed a clip tonight of a talk that Folley was having with NBC and thanking them for all the great work they are doing to catch the intrnet pedophiles!!!--This guy is very twisted-Lock his ass up-with M.Jackson-Yes -the Republican spin machine is broke and cannot be fixed-John Kerry said tonight that America saw after Katrina that there is no wizard behind that curtain-just a very sick old man-lol!

 

I've been a "fan" of Bill Moyers since his shows with the great JOSEPH CAMPBELL, http://www.jcf.org/bliss.php

The shows were, ""Joseph Campbell and the Power of Myth ": http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Power_of_Myth

You know who Im looking to vote for? The candidate that doesn't participate in the mudslinging.....

 

Yea dd-that would be my first choice too as it usually is the canidate with the least to offer the public; doing most of the slinging-It's the old con game of deception by distraction-The mud slinger is taking the heat off of himself by portraying the opponant as being this or that or for voting for the war etc.-It makes the voters forget about all the bad stuff the incumbent has dished up -This current president completely takes the cake. He could care less what people think-It's his way or the hi-way-Total 60s redneck mentality!-He is stuck in a time warp when it comes to freedom of speech and womens rights-He would have been a big star in the 50s-Him and guys like George Wallace would have kept this country in a perpetual state of emergency with the National Gaurd stopping the right to free speech or abortions-Wrong president-wrong time-

 

Is there anyone to look foward to? Who would you like to see run for president next?

 

I still want Al Gore.

This thread is good, but ya'll should also come to the Politics sub-forum. A lot of good discussion there, but there could be more.

And that would be where?-Help I am so lost in here-I a have been sucked into the hole in cyberspace-O-Excuse me Dad I was havin a minor flashback-Ya know-this is off the topic a little but I just remembered something funny-I knew the free love thing had hit it's peak-so to speak-in 68' when I saw this store front open up on Haight Street and it was there for people to come in that were wired up and rap all night!-The funny/sick part was that-that was the business! They charged people to come in and rap all night-lol-I couldn't believe it-I knew then we were in trouble-haha-anyway-I like the politcal mess going on with the Publicans-You can only jerk people around just so long-They are droppin like flies now-It would be a great opportunity for someone like me to step in and really screw things up!-just kiddin-but some Democrats with smarts and integrity would be a welcome change right now in Congress-You know the world is watching and any move made is under a microscope-The Republicans are running scared-We need a new leader now-A good president would have a little bit of speaking skills and possible keep certain countries from messin with the bomb-This whole thing is soo scary and we have leaders that are not up to the task-will we make it through 2 more years? Carrey for Pres.

I will vote for any Democrat running; but my first choice would be John Kerry-He is smart and well spoken-He would be respected by the world leaders. Bush is an embarrasment to America-Like Bill Clinton said last week -The reason North Korea and Iran are flexing their nuke muscle is because we are so busy being bogged down in Iraq-We could'nt defend them now if we had to-Our great leader has completely used up all the troops and keeps recycling them back to that rat ass desert!-Not fair and certainly not legal-People sign up then get used and abused beyond the contract with the military-It's not right-Our troops are tired and need to come home for good!-They and the rest of this country was sold a load of crap-ROCK THE VOTE!
