It doesn't make much sense for me to try to add anything here.
But I feel I must speak out. I don't think it's about the]
person who I don't really know or care to much. It's about the policies as Kendall has said.

As to the cabinet of the Bush Administration, Al Franken has
called them "Chickenhawks". That is, it's easier to make a war policy than to participate in it. It's the old cliche of "Let's fight, I'll hold your coat." War is a terrible, horrible and
awful thing and it doesn't offer any solutions to how people can live together in peace and justice. There are those who will get rich from war because that's justified in their minds. I'm thinking
of the infamous "Golden Triangle" of the Pentagon and the private corporate sector. This would include the Bush Administration's current cabinet. These men are dangerous for the country because
they are immoral. They are making money from the deaths of
innocent Iraqi women and children. They are making sure that
the working people of this country will not see the benefits
of their labor. They can count themselves amoung the wealthy
in the "class war". This "war" was created by the Bush Administration and Reagan and Bush Senior. There are people who
are working at manual labor jobs who are trapped in them because there are no places to retrain since money hasn't been allocated for them to do so. The destruction of the welfare system has meant that
poor hardworking Americans don't have decent paying jobs and can't
raise their kids on the money they make and the time they can
spend with their families is limited since they work long, hard hours for little money....a disgraceful devaluing on the minimum
wage in the "richest country in the world."


The public school system is being gutted by Bush and
his cronies. Only the wealthy will be able to receive a decent
education. This is anti-American. Anti-democratic. If this happens, then bin Laden and Saddam have beaten us.

We need a president who is responsive to the needs of Americans
and not a spokesperson for Haliburton, Harken, Enron, and the
gutting of the Texas and American educational system.

A word about Libertarians. We need a strong, moral federal government to protect us against the selfish, self-serving
Libertarian movement who would cut off the necessary funding
for deserving African-Americans, Hispanic and poor isolated
others in the citified ghettos of the US. Their representative
on talk radio spews his vitriol daily. Neil Boortz. A bully who
allows no contradictions to his madness. If people don't want to
pay taxes for educating those who don't have a chance in this
country, or helping them find decent employment, then bin Laden
and Saddam and Bush have won.

End of rant but I'm a folkie who has strong feelings about this
kind of thing and probably should keep my mouth shut but it's just
too painful not to.

Actually, Red, that piece of doggerel has been floating around the internet claiming to be by Shakespeare for years now, and was not written by Cher. If she got suckered by it, as many were, it is because they do not know what real Shakespeare sounds like. I knew the thing was a phony the first time I read it. Here is the Snopes analysis debunking it. It is ripe with clangers which old Bill would not have allowed into his parchments.

Slight drift here:

"Libertarian" can mean a lot of very different things.

Sometimes it's a way of saying Anarchist without frightening the horses - nowadays I suppose it's best vto say left-libertarian when you mean that.

Or it can mean nutty survivalists living out in the woods with machine guns who hate the givernment, but also hate just about everone else as well.

Or it can mean well-off guys who want the law to keep out of their way, but are happy to see it brought into play to protect them against tother people.

........

"Whats worse than Bush in 2004?" - well, whatever happens (short of another pretzel or similar occurrence) you/we've got him for the whole of 2004 and into 2005. The answer is surely: "Bush, any time after January 2005"

I see in the headlines this morning that Bush is trying to pass a FOUR HUNDRED BILLION DOLLAR defense bill.

Anyone out there think this is merely to cover what has already been spent in Iraq?

My other thought:

Only nukes cost this much.

"Last vote" indeed. If only they'd actually been elected that would be ironic.

Meanwhile our schools are crumbling, our economy is in the toilet, our environment is a cesspool, our privacy is a joke and reproductive rights are soon to be a thing of the past. I think there are better places to spend that money.

Does anyone know something good about Bush? Even his supporters seem unable to say anything other than "He isn't Clinton". Well, Duh- I know he isn't Clinton. Clinton left us with a budget surplus that Bush went throught like it was melted butter. Granted, Clinton had his personal problems, but apparently he did was a better president with his pants off than Bush is with his on.

Whats worse is a voting system that does not insure a democratically elected president.

All of your talk about ousting Bush in the next election is, I fear, a moot point.

At this point, the best you can hope for is military mutiny combined with a general strike and a boycott by the civilian population.

Of course, its easier to talk about it than actually do something about it. The last thing anyone is willing to do is give up the luxuries they think they are entitled to.
