Politics - 15 October 2006

Why do only around 25% of the adult population of America vote in their presidential elections. I can only presume that the Democrats & Republicans dont represent the ordinary man or woman. If this is true then why have you not got an alternative party that represents the aspirations of ordinary people.

We in Britain started the Labour party over 90 years ago through our Trade unions and Socialist societies, We made great leaps forwards by doing, we created the National Health service and better working conditions health and eduction. The present leaders of the Labour party have moved to the right, and again the working class are looking for radical alternatives.

In the U.S I believe most people have become brain washed about Socialism. the rhetoric I here about what socialism stands for to the ordinary American is totally allien and false to what socialism really is. They always point to Russia or Cuba as socialist countries, but they are dictatorships.

There is a certain masculinity that I have noticed about the way some conservative females deal with political issues.

I just wonder if they take their lead from that scrawny man with long blond hair dressed as a woman. You know who I mean..

I now avoid any Republican who is not discerning enough to identify the truth that is patently clear.

Political affiliations should not make one blind to the truth. Right?

Are Liberals lying when they say that Bush lied about WMDs.

Nancy Pelosi, Hillary Clinton, and Bill Clinton ALL believed that Saddam Hussein had WMDs in 1998. This was 3 years before Bush came to office.

Here are quotes of them saying so:

Isn't it a shame that the President of the United States of America feels he needs to constantly lie to his people when empiric evidence from all round the world sugests that he wouldn't know the truth if it bit him on the azz? I a sure Republicans must be embarrassed, irregardless of what they say here.

This study says 655,000 possible dead (450,000-700,000 range) from polling families with death certificates. 13% are from American air bombing. Bush is just white washing this scientific survey with a comment saying "not accurate" I also read in the Minneapolis Tribune that during the height of Saddam's ehtnic cleansing, 40,000 died in the same amount of time. Are we as bad or worse than an evil tyrant even though we meant well? Also, naturally, 50,000 would have died in this period if not for the war and that violent death accounted for 65% of the deaths in the study.

B-52s could end the war in Iraq in a month. It would destroy the insurgency, the terrorists, without any US troops losses and our troops would be home before Christmas.

Are you disgusted by the personal attacks and slander of this decorated American hero for purely political reasons? Will the Republicans and their speakers on talk radio apologize and admit they were wrong, or will they show their lack of character and go after Warner and Hagel?

I want to run for NY Representative, My first order of business would be a 50% pay cut on my part. The other 50% would go back into the comunities I represent. My role is not for money, but for the people I represent. All classes from low to high.If one class gets a 5% tax cut everyone does. I am not a career politician. If the people voted me in , They can also "fire" me. If they have a problem I want to see it fixed Period!!! A politician is an extention of the people.

If you look around you will see politicians all over, working only for the handful of people, those people want the little guys eliminated. If a politician is caught in ANY wrong doing They should be fired on the spot. Creating jobs? alright lets do that. Why are the illeagal imigrants here? Well because the farms they work on Do not pay worth a bamn. That is why we dont want to work there. So lets help them farmers out so they can pay better So more of us can have good jobs. So what do you think?
