Democracy in America is dead
This is a President who got less votes than his opponent and was installed by corrupt judges. The Congressional majority has attempted to arrest the minority merely for meeting. The President has publicly stated three times that he wants to be a dictator. He has stated that he needs explain himself to no one. This same administration orchestrates in Texas the attempted arrest of the opposition for withholding a quorum. It seeks to overturn the democratic election of a California governor mere months after his election. They lie to the Congress in order to start a war to allow a private company, Halliburton, to seize Iraqi oil fields. Wake the hell up America, liberty is already gone.

1. I hate to bring this up but a lot of Am. love thi war, bully stuff.
They seem to think this is the way we should be. It seems to be like TTexas people. I always worried about their endless bragging. Usually is a thing that means you are really unsure and do not feel as good as someone.

3. Bully tactics
They worked my friend! It was a nasty little trick tapping into the need for justice to relieve our grief and anger over 9/11. Very dirty little trick indeed.

2. We will have our say next November
I can't wait! I can't wait! I wish we had recall law on the white house though! Believe me I was one of the slumbering masses leading up to this egregious act against humanity orchaestrated by Georgie Boy but I'm awake now. Believe me others who sat back slumbering are waking up as well.

6. Your welcome
Believe me I've been as dismayed about this as I would imagine most of you, the vocal, the awake all along have been. I've felt like the biggest heal. But my resolve is to shake off this sense of hopelessness and helplessness the repugs would love us to bite on and meet them full force next November. Hopefully, Georgie Boy will take the beating fair and square!!

5. I agree
Edited on Thu Aug-07-03 09:24 PM by nothingshocksmeanymo
and I may as well do my MEA CULPA here since the California Supreme court seems to have no issue with the state being turned over to a governor that could conceivably be elected by fewer people than signed the recall petition depending on how many run and how few vote.

I thought I was depressed last night hearing a clear channel station playing a tune to recall Davis to the tune of BYE BYE MISS AMERICAN PIE....I'm in the dumps now...but I am very aware of the irony about a tune about this recall by Repubs to the tune of BYE BYE MISS AMERICAN PIE.....this'll be the day that I die :eyes:

8. I agree
Democracy is an inextinguishable flame that I believe burns within our hearts and minds, despite the best efforts of craven tyrants to snuff it out.
