As long as the democrats in Washington DC sit around and do nothing to stop the republicans from counting and/or fabricating the votes the neocons will continue to gain power. This has been proven in at least 3 straight elections.

Our family was the first host family sent to West Cameroon in 1963 under the Kennedy Peace Corps stuff. I was 6 months old. I couldn't speak english in complete sentences after learning three languages in west africa as a child. I had a hard time when we came back to the states. I understood on some deep profound level being carried around on the back of poverty in the bush in west africa. I understood a jet crashing in to the top of the mountain in Cameroon in 1964 killing everyone on board. I understood on some really strange level what it was like to experience the poverty,(suffering and trauma), and still have the cultural understanding that didn't conform to what the white folk thought was right. I dunno. BUSH is a whack job in the position he is in because he apparently has NO understanding and NO compassion for other cultures and other ways of thinking. Other ways of speech. Other cultures in general. My parents were Assemblies of god holy rollers. My dad worked with ashcroft and the whack jobs in southern missouri in the mid and late 1960's. All that ended when a WHACK job preacher threw my older sister on the ground and held her down on stage and claimed she was having some kind of holy experience. That was a defining event...for our family... Nothing made sense after that. (It was hysterical rebellion to everything starting at that moment.) It was all about resistance. Throwing the whack jobs and the preachers out the window. Throwing the thoughts and mind control of the establishment out the window. Throwing the church and the assemblies of god out the window and in the toilet. I grew up following the whack job ashcroft and his follies. I grew up talking about the evil cheese companies in the stock market. The evil tabacco companies. The evil Manipulated stock market. There was never a question. It was all about the manipulated market. that was normal dinner conversation. There was never a question of what was right or wrong. The church was a joke. The church was a business. the church was something that justifies what you do or don't do. My dad was a methodist minister by that time...Government was a joke. The president was somebody u questioned.... I dunno. George bush and his stuff just makes my shit roll. Maybe it's something about myself that i can't stand. I dunno. That guy needs to pull his head out of his ass and if he can't do it by himself then he needs to have congress stand up to him and tell him where to stick his ideas and lack of understanding. I don't care who he tries to charm or how charming he tries to be. That guy needs help and his megalomania is not going to stop by just letting him do his thing. The more u resist his ego the more he is going to try to stand his ground....that is sad. really sad. It took a long time. but life in generally has taught me suffering. Life in general has been really hard. Life in general has taught me some very tough lessons about suffering. Morons like george bush will never understand until they have suffered enough. and that is not going to happen. George bush can not have compassion because he just doesn't understand. America BETTER wake up. America better start to get it. What goes around comes around. The more george bush resists the more he creates what he resists. Oh well. Good luck.

Here's a good one--lol: Senator Santorum Outed Should Republicans Get Special Rights ? Taking Liberties Operation Enduring Unconstitutionality The outcry of Senator Rick Santorum of Pennsylvania regarding homosexuality is nothing more than a cry for help from someone silently afflicted with a severe case of human rights dysphoria. This condition generally reveals itself to a small minority, but politically powerful individuals known in common terms as “Republicans.” Republicans once took great pride in themselves: “Republicans say that government doesn’t work, and after they’re elected, they prove it, “ says P. J. O’Rourke, an afflicted author who travels in Republican circles.. Then came “Stonewalling” Richard Nixon’s “Southern Strategy” that lit a fire under a thousand crosses throughout Dixie. “I don’t care what they do in the privacy of their own caucus room, “ one Democrat responded, “Why do they have to parade their disgusting racism in public? Senator Santorum has not yet achieved the full indignity of pointy-headed bigotry exhibited by “out” and openly hating Republicans such as Strom Thurmond and Trent Lott. However, Santorum is exhibiting all the signs of a prospective hate developer trapped in the body of a Northeastern conservative. Republicans develop a keen sense of masking their inner bias for country clubs sporting green grass and white people with an outward mantra assuring the world of their compassion. In most cases, the bias is not actually aimed at race, religion, or sexual orientation, but at the general belief that targeted opposition groups lack the wealthy roots that rate Republicans their social advantage. For instance, O J Simpson, a black man who is believed by some to have engaged in such socially disfavored activities as first-degree murder, has achieved widespread tolerance at country clubs and Republican bastions throughout the US. As recently as this week, Mr. Simpson has been awarded his very own reality television show that will assure his continued survival among the wealthiest of Americans. Republicans have been known to favor French words such as “entrepreneur” while distancing themselves from the likes of French fries, toast or horns. Xenophobia is a common symptom of a potential Republican in recent years, as Republicans take offense not only at their natural prey among Democrats, but anyone who exhibits a failure to fly an American flag as they consume Iraqi oil in their bumper-sticker laden SUV. The US Supreme Court is reportedly considering whether Republicanism can be legally practiced within the safety of a “red state,” those states won by Democrat Al Gore in 2000. Republicans feel that they should have the right to do whatever they want in any state of the union, except of course the District of Columbia where lying about sex is an impeachable offense. Some religious zealots have called for compassion in the treatment of Republicans, noting that some practitioners such as Sen. Olympia Snowe of Maine, while declared Republicans, attempt to disengage themselves from actual Republican acts. “We must love the practitioner, while hating the practice,” one fundamentalist independent noted. Still, Democrats believe that practicing Republicans are not born that way. They believe something in their upbringing brings them to unspeakable acts such as demanding tax cuts during time of war. “Chances are that Republicans suffered from a weak father that took them to country clubs during an impressionable age and pressured alumni organizations into placing them within an Ivy League college,” one Democrat insisted. A rapidly growing trend believes that Republicans can ultimately be changed. A “compassion” organization established deep in the piney woods of Texas where the word “Republican” was once as rare as the word “African American,” has developed the “Barry Goldwater Enlightenment Center.” The Goldwater Center teaches impressionable former Republicans that Universal Health Care is common across the world, and not a signal that the world has gone soft. It teaches that human rights are not special rights, and not subject to the will of the majority. The Goldwater Center reminds Republicans of a time when the first Republican President said “God must love poor people, because he made so many of them.” “We hope to have more than 500 graduates by 2004,” the director of the Goldwater Center predicted. “That’s more than the margin of victory in the 2000 presidential race.” liftingthefog.com
