It is insanity.....

[kentuck]

pure and simple. The more the Repubs screw up our country and our economy, the more credibility they seem to attain? The more illogical and asinine their explanations for their failures, the more brilliant they are portrayed by the media. Is there any cure?

1. Yeah. The Train Wreck.

It's coming, and everyone is gonna get a little reality therapy.

You know it's coming. The only good part about it is that this will be the last time anyone with the name of "Bush" is inflicted on this country ever again.

[katinmn]

3. Absolutely.

All those who voted for him and his "moral values" are getting a royal screwing. They just don't know it yet.

[iconoclastic cat]

4. Details on this train wreck?

Because all I see is Militant Fundigelican propaganda.

6. When the BS gets so bad that even big buisness can't cover it up.

And they will try to cover it up right up until the very end, and past the end. Just like Hitler's media did for him right up until the allies were on the outskirts of Berlin. And just like Saddam's minister of propaganda while U.S. forces were sitting in the Baghdad airport.

9. I wonder what the headlines of Goebbels' propaganda rags were in

the last months of the war, whether they read like Fox news copy.

[Tandalayo_Scheisskopf]

7. Details? Look around.

Look at the fundamentals of this economy and government spending. Look at what they plan on doing to social programs, which are much a bulwark against societal chaos as police, if not more so. Look at their desire to punish states that voted against Chimpy. That and so much more.

All of these things will have consequences, especially the moves they are making to economically disenfranchise everyone who isn't the top 1% of wage earners. Are you a student of history? I am. History shows that every revolution that has taken place has started in the middle class, a middle class that has been wiped out by the rulers.

What about when the draft starts up again? Think it won't? You have another thing coming. There is exactly NO way that Iraq can continue, without a draft. Think that they are just gonna drag up and leave? Bwah. Fat chance. The whole of their credibility has been gambled on Iraq. What will happen when the draft starts again? Tilt. Welcome back to the 70s, with all the fun and frolic of those times.

It's coming, because these people are too arrogant and too stupid in the ways of the REAL world. They think they can create their own reality. Well, it just doesn't work that way.

It's coming and it's gonna be...interesting.

8. "They think they can create their own reality..."

I think you are correct. No one should be so foolish and no one should believe it possible. Reality is war, famine, earthquakes, floods, and locusts. There are events and natural occurences beyond the understanding of common man, let alone in the control of man. It is arrogance against nature herself that would believe such blasphemy and I agree, the train wreck is coming...

11. Is that what your reality consists of...

war, famine, earthquakes, floods, and locusts? I didn't know that Kentucky was such a godforsaken shithole. ;)

If reality were war, famine, earthquakes, floods, and locusts, they wouldn't have to create their own.

None of the events and natural occurrences you listed are beyond the understanding and control of man.

5. Let's hope so

Let's hope people get hip to who and what the sainted rich really are, and why it's a bad idea to starve the poor and the working class to keep the rich fatter and fatter.

There's nothing like a ruined economy with no jobs forthcoming from the holy rich to tell people that supply side economics is 100% wrong, and that the only way to prosperity for all is to start at the bottom.

Let's also hope people finally have the will to clean the little cadres of ideologues out of the Pentagon (since they've now lied us into two huge, disastrous wars of convenience) and cancel all those expensive weapons programs suitable for empire but not for defense.

Let's also hope that people finally manage to convince our wonderful elected representatives that government should always act in an adversarial position towards corporations to protect the people they are meant to serve. That is, if they are too spineless to change a lot of things about the status of the corporation in the US, let's hope they realize that corporations are the friends of neither the country nor its people.

Just getting rid of the Bush family as movers and shakers in American politics isn't nearly enough. We have to get rid of the mindset that produced them, both in their party and in ours.

2. Yup, send the reporters

over to cover Iraq upfront and personal. That would give them a different perspective on things.

10. Just saw on the CBS Evening news how sales are flat at

Wal-Mart but what's the one sector that's booming? Yes, that's right, the luxury retailers--Cartier, Tiffany, Saks, Barneys, etc. Seems Cartier can't keep enough of their $5K watches in stock--all sold out. Why won't these people realize that a vote for the Repugs is a vote against their own economic best interests? Does none of this sink into their thick skulls? How much more evidence do they need than this?

12. That was an AP story but I'm surprised that a tv network

broadcast it.
