I'm supposed to believe that the man who sat in a classroom reading a
kids' book for seven minutes AFTER he was told the country was under attack,
who was warned repeatedly about imminent threats against the country and
chose to ignore them, who has traipsed off on vacation every time there is a
domestic or international disaster, is a decisive man-of-action with the
fortitude to run a nation.
I am supposed to believe that God himself chooses my nation's leaders
and that, in His infinite wisdom, he chose a lying, thieving, self-
absorbed, pro-torture, pro-war, lazy frat-boy jerk like George W. Bush.
I am supposed to believe that the same man who used family money and
influence to duck military duty, who has failed at every business
venture he ever tried, who never did an honest day's work or accomplished
anything of value in his entire life, is fit to be Commander-in-Chief.

Criticism of call it what you want, plutocracy, unfettered capitalism does NOT imply communism, but it does mean travesty (mocking ) of democracy.

Can democracy produce these statistics?

The top 1% of the American population averages $15 million in net worth. Middle class holdings are $81,000. 30% of households have less than $10,000 in holdings, and 17% of households have a negative net worth. And this is said to be the wealthiest nation on earth!

Source of the statistics and worth reading

This may sound somewhat racist, and for that I apologize; I most certainly do not mean it in that way, and this is a genuine question I am asking.

I have always been taught that the Arabs are the ones antagonizing the Jews, so it was an interesting surprise to me the other day when I read a quote by an Arab statesman. He said that the Arabs were not anti-Semitic, but we westerners are. We were the ones who pushed Jews out of our countries or did not allow them in, killed them (during WWII), and acted hatefully toward them. Then, we pushed them over into Palestine to get them out of our hair, proclaimed Arab soil as Jewish soil and made Arabs refugees in their own countries and then had the "audacity" to call them anti-Semitic.

He was right in his history, but I just never thought about the Arabs not being anti-Semitic as much as anti being displaced from their homes. What do you think? Was he right or wrong? Am I missing a piece of history/politics?

The Republican party was the party that Lincoln was in, and Lincoln did sing the emancipation proclamation.

Actually I will not allow my kid to listen to him speak, because he is such a bad example, like a lousy book....you steer your kid away. After all this President is inarticulate, albeit his home language, grammatically void, and inept with vocab and pronounciation.

i have read several articles claiming that we need to stop buying oil from middle eastern countries because it funds terrorism. having grown up in saudi arabia, i fail to see the logic behind this conclusion.

first, the oil workers are expats and saudis with normal lives just like you and me. they do not strap on bombs and kill innocent people. obviously they are not terrorists so the money they earn is not going towards terrorism.

also, the saudi government owns aramco, the biggest oil company in the world. all of aramco's profits go to the the saudi royal family. the terrorists want to overthrow the royal family and install an islamic theocracy, so the royal family hates them. in fact, the royal family exiled bin laden from saudi arabia. obviously, the oil money the saudis get is not going towards funding any kind of terrorism.

so please explain to me why people are still claiming that the money we pay at the pump funds terrorism. is there something i'm missing?

I can't stand what's happeneing to my country! I love the USA, and oppose all who mean it harm. Unfortunately some of those who mean it harm are right here calling themselves Americans. No, not sleeper cells, but regular people who, through fear and ignorance let themselves be herded like sheep by the fascist bastards who control that drooling idiot Bush. There used to be a saying: 'I disagree with what you say, but I'd defend to the death your right to say it'. Sadly that philisophy is dead, any opinion not approved by Homeland Security and Fox 'News' is subversive treason. When did it become wrong to ask questions, to take pictures or video in public places? To be skeptical of politicians and scrutinize their actions and motives? All normal American things that have become suspect in the new security state. So many people I've spoken to don't realize anything's changed because it doesn't affect them personally, or spew back :'Do YOU want to die! Do you want your family to die!?'

why do you suppose so many people ask such shallow, stupid, inane, inflammatory, insulting questions (with pathetic spelling and grammar)?

for me... it's really tough because i've always WANTED to like him for some reason. i really did, but folly after folly insued and everything that WAS predictable came true than wars and gas n stuff... i mean, it bothers me that i feel like after all these things i wonder why i just dont know more about them.

scam artists must be at an all time high these days. people are doing extreme things and they think they will be covered by the law if anything goes wrong. until then, profiteer.

this, to me, is the most excruciating difficulty i have understanding our president, mr. bush. why? because i don't really believe he is a stupid man. sure, he's needed every business he tried to run be bailed out (by papi) and he had that incident with coke. and believe it or not, i'm one of those middle road ( or now called libertarians i'm not sure... ) types that never blamed him for one second when it comes to the immigration issue! i saw prior president(s) do the same but worse.

You republicans don’t seem to comprehend the liberal mind set.
you talk about stupidity. that liberals hate America Blah Blah Da blah and crap. get a grip people. All liberals want to do is to insure that the true vision for vision for this country is followed.You conservatives have turned America into a Hate mongering intolerant Christian state. You hate liberals you hate non Christians. you want to drive all who don’t believe in what you believe out. that is not was America was founded on. it was founded on ideas tolerance and separation of church and state because the founding fathers got tired of being pushed around by the church. we don’t believe in what America is we believe in what America can be. Now you read this and you think typical liberal Dogma. that is Bull S H IT. I am a country boy at heart, I believe in the ACLU, I belive in the right to bear arms and I own a gun, but I believe in pro choice, i belive in dieying with dignity and anti racism.

I was wondering if you were scared to vote because of retalliation. If you are a die-hard Democrat, are you concerned that during a Republican administration, someone with power could order the voter records (public info) and maybe do things to you to prevent you from voting in a future elections, like have the IRS audit you because you are a Democrat, or do things that may take away yor ability to vote? What if you wrote a letter to your Congressman, would he was Democrat, would he give you the attention you deserved if you normally vote republican? I just used the Republican and Democrat not intending to make either one sound like the bad guy.

do all you see in america is reds and blues. When i read these posts all you do is stereotype and bash each other. both sides seem to know nothing about the issue, instead you both pick up on something from the one news report you saw and suddenly you are an expert on the issue.

And none of you can seem to find a middle ground on anything. Im a liberal, i think Clinton was a good president, i think what he is doing now with his global initiative is awesome. I also think that republican Tom Ridge (former PA governer and homeland security) was one of the best governers PA ever had, much better than democrate Ed Randell is currently doing.

Im just saying, move out of the red and blue and move into the purple, or at least the blueish-red or redish-blue
