I would love to see someone with this degree of honest passion run for high office some day.

His right of course. But it can still be bad.

Who can say he's wrong?

(35,750 posts)He was on one of the MSNBC political shows and was on his way home from DC and stopped on the Jersey Turnpike to do an interview. He did the interview from his car.
That's a lot of time and effort to donate to this cause, and fully worth it. Not everyone would be willing to give up their personal time for such an arduous effort.
But then, he's always been a good guy.
Thank you, Jon Stewart.

Boy we love war. But boy we dont like to clean up the consequences. Always money for war, never money for the war-fighters.
Hope it makes people THINK.

(4,720 posts)War is a racket, and Republicans love every greed saturated aspect of it. They will spend billions on the bloody, inhumane machines of war and collect their slimy payola while never giving two shits for the people who die or are damaged wielding those horrific devices.
