13. That option
looks better every day. When we can poll on who we should murder next, I can't be a part of that. It's sick. America is sick.

20. You represent yourself, and they represent themselves.
Just because a political party wins an election doesn't mean that it is now the ONE face of America.

And it's not like you're a serial killer, you did everything to stop Bush, and voted against him I'm sure.

21. Some people claim they represent us here in America and they get air time
on cable news networks. The rest of the world sees this and thinks, "Americans are the enemy because they choose their leaders. Look! There's another American leader on TV now. Let's hear what he has to say:"

16. Canadians doing it right
They legalized gay marriage, medical marijuana and have universal health cover. They also have a large budget surplus and aren't giving tax breaks to corporations but increasing social spending. How did they end up with our America? :shrug:

3. Our fearless leader shall fend off ALL enemies!
And vanquish their evil souls to the depths of HELL in the NAME OF THE LORD! Where they will burn in a sea of fire, forever condemned to eternal damnation. Amen. Peace be with you.

Or as Jerry Falwell would say, "Blow 'em away, in the name of the Lord!"

22. Since you used "bomb",
I voted for Iran.

I am thinking that the neocons don't have enough self control to wait until we are ready to invade Iran properly and may just move ahead with "selective bombing".

If Iran does nothing (as a response), then it is another "triumph" for neocon "policy". If Iran responds with any attacks "above the radar", then we either nuke them -- or use this response as an excuse for the draft and an invasion. And if Iran responds with "below the radar" attacks, these can be either ignored or used as an excuse for more attacks -- on any scale.

In the neocon mind, this would be a pretty convincing plan. Of course, they wouldn't give any consideration to what might go wrong with their plans -- and any sort of disaster would just be turned into an opportunity to crack down on domestic opposition, and move onto the next stage in their agenda.

But I think that the plethora of possible targets and the lack of "ground" resources has the neocons in somewhat of a tizzy. Maybe someone should give them an ice cream cone to distract them for a time.

A key question is whether or not the neocons will be stupid enough to involve Israel (directly) in their next folly. This would be a disaster and the US would never be able to overcome the perception that we were the tool of extremist Israeli policies.

But then, this sort of thinking is beyond most neocons -- at least those who aren't deliberately trying to bring about the end of the world.

Oh well, I wasn't planning on living forever anyway.

In any event, I expect nothing to happen until after the "election" in Iraq... But you never know -- they have that man date after all.

27. Probably Iran, then
we'll be in a civil war of some sort, I am sure. There's too much a push for "states rights," a la the Civil War era of history. And there's too much social conflict. I don't think this country can survive together.
