I do think we have a better chance under the Democrats to achieve a semblance of social justice and a domestic focused economic policy. Clinton tepidly pushed us in that direction. lol, WorldCom, Enron, Global Crossing, etc.... And don't forget, China now has their own astronauts thanks to algore and willie...

Rock_nj > There is reason to dislike both major American political parties. Two sides of the same rotten coin that constantly egnages us in wars for profit and neglects the domestic agenda. What is there to like? Indeed so, and many people are asking that question. guardian.co.uk >>The mood in America is shifting against the Iraq war, but it has found inadequate expression in Congress ....unlike the Democratic presidential candidate John Kerry in his swift boat, Sheehan will not be blown off course quite so easily. The public mood in America is shifting consistently and decisively against the war and Bush's handling of it. Gallup has commissioned eight polls asking whether it was worth going to war since the beginning of the year: every time at least half have said no. For the first time, most people believe the invasion of Iraq has made the US more vulnerable to further attacks. The number of those who want all the troops withdrawn remains a minority at 33% - but that is double what it was two years ago, and still growing. The reason Sheehan has become such a lightning rod is because that mood has found only inadequate and inconsistent expression in Congress. It has been left to her to articulate an escalating political demand that is in desperate need of political representation. This marks not only a profound dislocation between the political class and political culture but a short circuit in the democratic process. The mainstream has effectively been marginalised.<<

Rock_nj > .... challenge the corporate power structure in America and cause a change from the bottom up. Seems there was something like an uprising in Salt Lake City. dailykos.com >>Salt Lake City Mayor Rocky Anderson addressed both the VFW convention and the protest. Anderson told the crowd that people were afraid of what they had to say and they're "not going to take it anymore." The mayor ended his speech by saying "it's up to the people to keep speaking up and this is a turning point for our nation here today in Salt Lake City." Chants of ``Rocky!'' followed Anderson as he took the podium at the anti-war rally. ``Those who take a stand ... who stand up to deceit by our government. Those are true patriots. You are true patriots,'' Anderson said.<<
