17. Do you think a man who was willing to lie 237 times to attack a country which never attacked us, and to kill a hundred thousand innocent people in Iraq, might have been willing to kill three thousand people in New York city to "justify" doing what he wanted to do?
18. Do you think letting a thousand illegal aliens a day cross our border while confiscating your shampoo at the airport is a legitimate national security policy?
19. Do you think declaring there are "no symbols of national significance" in New York in order to justify cutting proposed anti-terrorism funding is a legitimate national security policy?
20. Do you like the 20,000 Iraq casualties for NOTHING; no WMD, no democracy, no peace, only increasing chaos and death?
21. Do you like starting unnecessary wars and then LOSING them?
22. Do you approve of remaining in a lost cause and watching our soldiers die only to protect Republican politicians from admitting the obvious defeat which has taken place?
23. Republicans have controlled all 3 branches of government for 6 years, who then is responsible for all this?
24. Do you think keeping the people who've lied and repeatedly failed national security on the job, to fix what they broke, is smart?
25. Do you like living in the most hated nation on earth now?
26. Do you like having a religious delusional who claimed ""God"" told him to strike at Saddam", with his finger on the nuclear button?
27. Would you like the United States to attack Iran on false WMD pretenses too? "Fool me once....": Bush couldn't even finish the sentance correctly, can you?
28. Do you want a man who believes Armageddon is "necessary" to fulfill his religious beliefs?
29. Do you want two more years of this nightmare? 30. Would you like Bush and Cheney re-questioned about 9-11 and compelled to answer under oath?
31. Had enough fear?
32. Had enough abuse of power, contempt of congress, violations of the Constitution, violations of the court, arrests, indefinite detainment, and torture without trial?
33. Had enough of being ashamed of your own country, all on account of a few contemptible criminals?
I thought there would be more than 34 talking points.
Ever since the patriot act I knew there was a lot wrong with this government.
In fact Bush said yesterday that Saddam had nothing to do with 9/11, most likly a slip of his tongue.
I am proud to say I have never voted Republican in my life. I'm not to sure about the Dems either. When Kerry ran after being defeated by a 3% lead that he held throughout the day through the exit-polls I wondered if he was just as bad as the Neo-Cons. and the Counsil on Foregein affairs, or the Federal Reserve Bank who control our dumb asses', through fear mongering.
I said it before and I'll say it again "the only thing we have to fear is fear itself" FDR.

We were down to two allies and there is trouble in paradise. Blair is in trouble in Britain primarily for his support of Bush who is loathed throughout the country. There are credible reports that, having given Olmert a green light to attack Lebanon, Bush urged Israel to go ahead and attack Syria. There were reports out of Israel that Olmert refused. Another "alliance" strained. And Australia? How many troops have they sent to Iraq lately?
Since Bush stole the election of 2000, the US is now the most despised, most reviled nation on earth. Bush is now a recruiting poster boy for Al Qaeda. What if Bush nukes Iran and Iran retaliates by blocking the straights of Hormuz. Turkey will deny egress across it's territory. And, of course, so will Syria. Well, over 100,000 American troops could be completely cut off in Iraq, quite possibly the worst military blunder in history.
It was David Hume, I seem to recall, who wrote that there was a moral imperative to be intelligent. Maybe so! But the PRACTICAL imperative to be intelligent would be GOOD ENOUGH. And that has been sorely lacking since 1980, and especially so, since the year 2000.
