Let The Dictatorship Begin......


Well..........If there isn't enough consciouses on both sides of the aisles to at least tell GONZO your management skill are not up to par with the constitution and if we are going to have to get more repukes outraged about the crap that is going on so we can bring it out into the public and wake up this world to the crap this ADMINISTRATION is getting by with then my fellow DUers.....Dictatorship is just around the corner.....

Frankly todays lack of vote was another scoop out of the grave being dug for democracy. Frankly fellows...I think that both party's are conspiring in something that is going hit us hard in the face soon....so sad when you vote a party the majority and they still have no power to do anything......I also believe the fact the 2008 prez elections starting 2 years early is not so we have lots of time to listen to ideas but I think it is a ploy to get the majority of Americans apathetic and burned out before Nov 08 since they wouldn't dare steal a third election the next best thing is to get them into an uncaring mode.

Your input please....

1. I don't think you could really call it a dictatorship as much as an oligarchy
In an oligarchy, a relatively small number of people reign over the many, and it's not necessarily true that above all that is an overpowering figurehead of the state, although it is seen sometimes in several examples. People are still free to run for office and cast ballots, but the avenues of information have been polluted by corporate interests who run the news outlets, and races are tilted in favor of those who have the most money.

2. the United States of America is dead

"Taps" was played on December 12, 2000.

The election of Reagan was denouement.

Everything since December 12, 2000 has been overt oligarchical rule.

6. I think we may have got as bad as we could and it will go
the other way now. The country seems to do this over and over. I think this may have been over the top so to speak but I have faith in the USA and think we will work at getting it right. We have for 200 years and each time we do become more liberal in the long run. It is always interesting to look at how the GOP really thinks and not many want to give up a thing that in general the Dem. party has put in even when they claim to be in the GOP. I have always thought parties or religious groups never last unless they do as the members want it to do. Have all the 'fatwa' you want but if the people do not wish it they will just leave the group. The big trouble is when some one has a gun and tells you you have to stay. This 'we are the people who are always right' that Bush seems to have around him is just going to drive about 70 percent of us Am. nuts. I think his base really are old time Royalist.

3. There is a significan bloc of Democrats who don't want power, I'm convinced;
They want to seem in opposition but they like the status quo. The result is effectively a one-party state.

5. Find out who they are and vote their asses OUT in '08
If they don't want power, get them the hell out of an office of power. Period. That goes for every damned one of the "keeping the powder dry" Democrats too. FUGG 'EM! They're the weak links that keeps the party broken down. Our Country can't afford these weak links right now. We're at a point of no return, and if something doesn't get done very quickly, it's gonna be too late. We're one "false flag attack" away from Marial Law, suspended elections and disbanding Congress.

Sorry Mick, but time ain't on our side anymore...

7. Killing the Goose that laid the golden Egg
Money, perks, big budgets,mega donations, honorariums, Billions in political ads, what and ruin all the fun? What Congress doesn't want is a frugal, quasi socialist economy with election reform and an honest, one person, one vote electoral system.

8. This was the first thing I thought about when I woke up this morning
I started walking down the hallway and I thought I don't even want to turn the TV on because I didn't want to see * flaunt Alberto. So I thought "He did it, and how did we give it,whats going to happen now?"
