So, when we win in November... when we take back the WH and both |

Houses what are we going to do? What's your favorite wish? How are we going to do it better? It's coming... we need to get ready.
I have so many wishes, my first and foremost would be to fix what we broke in Iraq and then remove our troops from the Middle East. I don't know how many goats, or vials of AIDS medicine, $87 billion would buy, but I'd like to see us invest in stuff like that, instead of bombs.
What's your favorite wish?

get rid of the electronic voting machines.

2. Iraq I don't think will be fixed that quickly, but |
|
At least get on a better road by providing a better solution like getting the UN involved ect.
Overall I want to see the economy start to come back, and I want us to be back where we were in the world's eyes like we were under Clinton.
Incidently I doubt we'll be seeing anymore conservative republicans holding as much power ever again like this after this election.

Getting the WH and congress is meaningless while these fanatics can define what the constitution means. (Not to mention their coup d' etat after the 2000 election.)

8. I wish there was something we could do to force the media to tell us |
|
the truth. We have 24/7 news and it's all bullshit. How much could they teach us about the world around us - who's who, what's where, why it's there and where it's going and who bought it. Nope. Just bullshit repeated over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over... Oh, excuse me. I get like that sometimes.

10. REINSTITUTE THE FAIRNESS DOCTRINE. |
|
The very fact that people are stunned by what too many of them are seeing for the first time in "Fahrenheit 9/11" is proof positive that the media is guilty of GROSS DERELICTION OF DUTY, CRIMINAL NEGLIGENCE, and AIDING AND ABETTING every last crime committed by the bushes. Every one.
The media needs to be held accountable every bit as much as the bushies do. Maybe more. Because they were in a position to expose the lies, and stop the carnage and the wanton, needless destruction.
And they did NOTHING.

12. Someone was on CNN yesterday saying the media's tendency |
|
to throw out an issue/event and then get somebody from the left and somebody from the right to argue about it is bizarre and unfair to the viewer. I can't remember who it was. Maybe, it was John Stewart? I don't know, but it struck me that this is the type of "news" I have grown used to. Not, this happened, this person did it, in this place at this time, because... Instead we get "This is what I think happened and it's so and so's fault."
The corporate media definitely needs to have a day of reckoning.

The United States must get its fiscal house in order. No other work can be done successfully until that detail has been taken care of. If we don't do this, fixing other problems will run us deeper into the red.

9. Put every one of those war criminal and/or traitorous assholes on trial |
|
here in the US and give 'em the death penalty. THEN rescind the death penalty, and send them off to the Hague for ANOTHER world-wide fully humiliating trial.
We have to show the world that we can, indeed, govern ourselves and that our system works, however imperfectly, eventually, and that we will always, indeed, get rid of our vermin.

Fairness Doctrine, market ownership, ... the works.
Make sure this shit never happens again.
