The next American President will: |
|
*Continue the WAR for OIL in the Middle East
*Continue to expand "Global Free Trade"
*Continue to export American jobs
*Continue to import low paid foreign workers
*Support The "FOR PROFIT" Health Insurance Industry and begin to subsidize them with taxpayer money
*Continue to expand the American Military machine
*Increase the size of the Defense Budget
*Appoint SC judges that support the Unitary Executive and Corporate sainthood
*Continue to increase the income disparity between the ultra-rich and everyone else
*Continue unquestioning support for the Right Wing Likud in Israel
*Work to undermine true democratic reform in Venezuela and South America
*Maintain the Pay for Play status quo in DC
*Torpedo any REAL movement toward Publicly Financed Elections . . . but vote for Hillary anyway because she might appoint a SC judge that upholds Roe. It has already been decided.
My name is bvar22, and I approve the above message.

2. The next American President will have beaten Hillary in the primary or the general election. We can |
|
choose between those two outcomes.

I will be voting for a true Progressive in the primary, but if you listen to the Hill supporters, their polls, and the Media, its all over but the coronation.

9. Well, what else would they say? |
|
They're trying to create an aura of inevitability; that's what front-runners do, and it's often a highly effective strategy. I don't think it's actually going to fly in this case, though. Once voters really get a look at the rest of the field in the next couple of months, I think the polls will start to swing. The vote itself is anybody's guess. Of course, I could be entirely wrong--wouldn't be the first time.

11. I'm thinking Obama or Edwards will beat Hillary in the primary and then win the general election by |
|
a huge margin which sweeps a 60 Senator filibuster-proof majority into the Senate.
I'm hopeful that Hillary will not get the nomination and we will avoid snatching defeat from the jaws of victory in the presidential race and we will avoid torpedoing the Senate campaigns of our Democratic hopefuls in states like Nebraska, Alaska, Texas, Oklahoma, North Carolina, Tennessee, etc.

1. Just one of the many ways the Upper 1% and their bought politicians |
|
will continue to marginalize LABOR and drive down wages.
If you Work for a Living, don't support Economic Conservatives....Republican OR Democrat.
The Democratic Party is a BIG TENT, but there is NO ROOM for those who advance the agenda of THE RICH (Corporate Owners) at the EXPENSE of LABOR and the POOR.

5. And the bullshit continues |
|
when you guy isn't winning, oh heck, best thing to do is trash and flame his competition. That way you might get another vote, if your post is crappy and flaming enough.

7. the next American president will hopefully endorse: |
|
-An end to military action in Iraq and the Middle East,with an enhanced focus on diplomacy. -Medicare for All-a universal, single-payer, not-for-profit health care system that leaves no American behind. -Survival of the middle-class-through repeal of NAFTA,promotion of universal education from pre-school through college,rewarding companies who keep business in the United States with strong tax incentives,creating millions of jobs through a public works program combining infrastructure(bridges,dams,roads,etc) and energy needs of our country. -Restoring the Constitutional powers of President by repealing the "unitary executive" privileges empowered by the Military Commissions Act,which elevate the President to a level equivalent to a king or dictator. -commitment to conserving the water,land and climate through initiatives laid out by the Kyoto Treaty and his proposed Works Green Administration. -Initiatives to prevent homelessness,poverty,and hunger in our country-initiatives sparked by his own experience with homelessness. -Initiatives to restore AMERICAN capitalism by doing away with NAFTA,the WTO and multinational corporations that have robbed so many middle class American jobs and taken corporate ownership out of American hands.
That would be Kucinich,of course.

8. Will Be The Same One USA Has. ... shrub Will Not Give Up Power |
|
. Even when shrub gives himself and the first level lackeys presidential pardons, they will still be open to arrest and rendering to international law for war-crimes. This administration will not be able to transfer power legally. They will have to stage a coup simply to remain un-arrested.
Do you think shrub and Co. are not watching the actions of the Pakistan leaders this weekend? .

17. If you're prescient why bother being rich? |
|
Being rich is not the be all and end all of being. Being a good American used to be more than just being greedy. Hillary comes across as greedy, and a greedy president will do actions listed above.

There's a reason anyone with a shred of sense doesn't make sweeping prognostications: 99% of the time those making such prognostication are wrong, and end up looking the fool.

18. Well, if you're an independent, why vote????????? |
|
If an independent is reading this right now and can't participate in his state's Democratic primary and the primaries determined that Hillary won, why bother to fucking vote at that point?
