I mean, aren't we all Americans? aren't we all human beings? what ever happened to "government of the people, by the people, and for the people? "..lately it has seemed like the country is on the verge of a partyline civil war, getting down right nasty too, democrats and republicans actually verbally expressing pure, venomous hatred and mistrust of each other.. question is, how would such a civil war play out? folks, we need to get our act together, and sooner, rather than later.. the eyes of the world are on us and trust me, they are watching for any signs of internal weakness..and I've never, until recently ever thought of my country, the USA, of being capable of weakness...i still refuse to believe it...

After millions of words about Iraq, it all comes down to one word:

Decades.

That's from the Washington Post's Baghdad reporter on 10/31/06:

The top U.S. military commander in Iraq, Gen. George W. Casey Jr., predicted last week that Iraqi security forces would be able to take control of the country in 12 to 18 months. But several days spent with American units training the Iraqi police illustrated why those soldiers on the ground believe it may take decades longer than Casey's assessment.


Decades. Why decades?

Seventy percent of the Iraqi police force has been infiltrated by militias, primarily the Mahdi Army, according to Shaw and other military police trainers. Police officers are too terrified to patrol enormous swaths of the capital. And while there are some good cops, many have been assassinated or are considering quitting the force. "None of the Iraqi police are working to make their country better," said Brig. Gen. Salah al-Ani, chief of police for the western half of Baghdad. "They're working for the militias or to put money in their pocket."


Decades - all to empower murderous sectarian militias, rob U.S. taxpayers blind, and kill or maim more U.S. soldiers.

Just this month we lost 103 brave young Americans, bringing the U.S. total to 2,816.

But George Bush insists U.S. troops absolutely will not leave Iraq until "victory" is achieved - however long that takes.

Decades.

The children of U.S. soldiers killed in Iraq may grow up to fight and die in Iraq, just like their parents.

And between now and then, 100 American soldiers may die every single month.

Decades.

Do you want to send today's high school seniors to fight and die in Iraq to train Iraqis who won't defend their country for Decades?

Do you want to send today's high school freshmen to fight and die in Iraq to train Iraqis who won't defend their country for Decades?

Do you want to send today's junior high freshmen to fight and die in Iraq to train Iraqis who won't defend their country for Decades?

Do you want to send today's first graders to fight and die in Iraq to train Iraqis who won't defend their country for Decades?

Do you want to send all of their children to fight and die in Iraq to train Iraqis who won't defend their country for Decades?

If your answer to this question is No, then please take one small action: send this email to everyone you know and implore them to vote a straight Democratic ticket next Tuesday November 7.

Our children - and their children - will thank you.

If he isn't running for president, and he isn't up for re election, why does it matter what he says? It's not like dems would be choosing between him and someone else, so it obviously won't affect their party or their vote. But if independants and moderates (the deciding votes) get sick of hearing about Kerry, would that influence their vote? I'm not talking about stealing votes, I'm talking about swaying the independants...

I really hate it when politicians and the religious influence science, when they have no clue what they're talking about.

Seriously! One would think that such laws violate the separation of church and state that's established in the Constitution, but I once heard about a Supreme Court ruling that stated that blue laws weren't unconstitutional. What's up with that?

The Republican National Committee is a regular recipient of political contributions from Nicholas T. Boyias, the owner and CEO of Marina Pacific Distributors, one of the largest producers and distributors of gay porn in the United States.

www.FEC.gov lists Boyias as contributing to the RNC three times in 2004 and two times in 2005.

Whats the point? Last week, the RNC, headed by Ken Mehlman, ran an ad against Rep. Harold Ford (D) in Tennessee. One of the barbs in that ad was the claim that Ford had taken political contributions from "porn movie producers."

So,I guess Ken Mehlman was for porn producer money before he was against it.

What do you think?

It’s remarkable how desperate the Republicans are these days.

Even though Kerry apologized today for messing up a dumb joke which he should not have joked about in the first place, I don’t recall hearing George Bush apologize for misleading the American people about weapons of mass destruction and Iraq.

PLEASE CONFIRM, GEORGE BUSH HAS NOT APOLOGIZED TO THE AMERICAN PEOPLE, THOSE FIGHTING IN IRAQ, THOSE WHO HAVE LOST LOVED ONES, AND THE REST OF THE WORLD FOR INVADING IRAQ UNDER FALSE PRETENSES.

When do you think he will apologize to us, especially, those who have lost loved ones?

Both Kerry and Bush are members of the rich-boy satanic cult the Skull and Bones. Since they all swear to support other members, could Kerry be following instructions from their Grand Poobah (or whatever their satanic priest is called)? Or was Kerry trying to say that if you vote out of a position of ignorance you get results like the bush-league? The Republicans did promise a big surprise before the election, was this it?

John Kerry calls our brave soldiers in Iraq "terrorists" but he himself burned down civilian homes and murdered all of their animals. What a hypocrite!
