Learn how to govern yourselves or expect to lose it all. |

The more you focus on bullshit in a campaign, the more the campaign will be covered in bullshit.
What do you care about?
- Health care: Are you covered? Your children?
- Education: Do your local schools have the books they need? Will you be able to pay for college?
- Iraq War: People are still dying.
- Energy: Can you pay for gas? Even more so, can you pay for a new hybrid car?
- Global warming: The glaciers are melting.
So what matters, huh? Why aren't we out picketing? Why aren't we speaking out? Why aren't we holding our leaders accountable? Why the fuck are we all on the Internet prattling on about bullshit issues like we have for the last three months???
It's incumbent upon US and US ALONE to make sure that our democracy is effective. We have been asleep at the wheel. If we don't take charge, then some crackpot will wrest control of the government from us because of its ineffectiveness. In fact, if you look at the current Bush Administration, one already has.
TAKE CHARGE. IT'S OUR GOVERNMENT.

1. Because Hillary had to try and win after losing 12 straight nominating contests |
|
and that's what happens when you have a protracted battle between two people who agree on most everything issue-wise and one of them is committed to playing in the gutter.

5. That's why I'm voting for Obama. |

"Health care: Are you covered? Your children?"
I think Clinton's promises on health care are as phony as all the others.
"Education: Do your local schools have the books they need? Will you be able to pay for college?"
Clinton voted for NCLB. That whole program was shit from the beginning.
"Iraq War: People are still dying."
Exactly, and I'm voting for the person who was against it from the beginning. Not the person who thought it was a good idea.
"Energy: Can you pay for gas? Even more so, can you pay for a new hybrid car?
Global warming: The glaciers are melting."
And both are why this "gas holiday" thing is so much bullshit, and insulting to anybody with half a brain.

And if I had the money, worth every penny!
On edit: Is this what is meant when you hear, "Freedom isn't free"?

10. I fear it might take more |
|
than yelling with signs.The worldwide protests before the Iraq war did nothing to stop this psychopath presidency from going on a rampage in Iraq that is currently destroying our country and Iraq.. So,what makes you think yelling with signs will work now,we need another tactic. One that will hit these rich insulated bastards where it will hurt them.In the money,ruin their precious"lifestyle and dash their "economic dream" to dust. Among other things.
