Rob Dawg said...: Yes, if only to piss Keith off. A Dem in the whitehouse and the Reps in Congress? Play what is called future history here. The deficit would surely be much lower but what of international tensions? Iran and Iraq would poised on a nuclear knife edge that would surely engulf Egypt and the house of Saud. We'd still have had a 9/11 event but not only would our response reveal us to be a paper tiger the budget priorities and deficit hawking would make us a toothless tiger in fact as well. Better? Hard to say but then if there hadn't been these last 6 years of media and Dem drumbeating thecurrent officeholder might have been able to do a lot better as well.; September 16, 2006 11:56 AM

I would also allow the US to set up concentration camps for anyone here illegally, make them work for at least one year on a fence between the US and Mexico, and line the border with tanks and armed garrisons. (Sort of like every country south of Mexico does to protect their banana republic contry!). Anyone who has not served in the military has no basis to comment, as you are living in the US as a free, non-Islamo- captive without having paid for the priviledge.

Anonymous said...: LOL. Another vet here. I didn't vote for them the first time they lost the (popular) election, nor the second time when it was rigged.

I'd rather have someone who's actually *experienced* combat making the decision to go to war. These guys were just a little too eager to send pimple-faced kids to die in Iraq, considering their own ignomious behavior when it was *their* turn.

We need a 'Mr. Smith Goes to Washington'- a leader not a politician- but see none on horizon.

No, wouldn't vote for them again, am kicking myself for voting R last time, but couldn't stomach Kerry. Now I wonder could Kerry have been this bad? What a mess.; September 16, 2006 1:36 PM

What's with this gratitude syndrome?
Just do you friggin job like everybody else and quit wearing it on your sleeve.
If you don't like it and can't take the heat, get out of the kitchen.

And what's this BS on ground-zero workers and lung issues?
That's a lot of malarkey so these overtime pimps can now start collecting inflated "disability" pensions at an early age (30s & 40s).

Anonymous said...: No vote. Former vet, did GW1, figured the US was playing to much the mercenary force then..'oh you can't bring forces, just send money we will take care of it for you.' Now we don't even ask for money. "We are going to lead the way to combat terrorists around the world. If you're not with us, you're against us."

I also wish for a true leader. I currently live in CA, remember the Bill Simon, Gray Davis debacle? For crying out loud, 34 million people in this state and that is the best we can do? Then we get Arnie...this place is truly effed...

I feel pretty much the same way about my country. Bush, Gore, Kerry, now more than likely Hillary? We have set upon a course that could be truly ruinous. I try and be positive but man is it hard these days. My biggest fear is that GW and crew will keep this 'economy' going just long enough for them to squeak out of office. So that the blame for this mess doesn't land squarely on their shoulders. I have a co-worker who de-registered as a republican to indie cause of these two. He maintains that history will judge W as the worst president ever. But not if he skates out of office before the defication contacts the rotary ocsillator...; September 16, 2006 5:36 PM

The political procees in the US has reverted to the lowest common denominator (Dem's = International Bolshiviks / Repub's = Elite One world Financial Aristricrats). At least all the mexicans that amount to an army of foreign occupation on US soil would be forced to comply with the immigration law, and the welfare paraistes would find their meal tickets include mandatory public projects under a more or less benign junta.

If Americans are too apathetic to govern themselves, vote for decent leaders and send out the idiots such as Clinton, Kerry and so many others so that any other meglomaniacs with a personal agenda get the message, somone will do it for them.; September 16, 2006 6:01 PM

Why don't you, for a change, post a survey as to who would vote for the Republicans and who would for the Democrats. No third party for now. They're also welcome to state their reason why.

Just a NO vote, by the way. For example, one may not vote for Republicans, but not necessarily would go for the Dems either. They may just sit tight on election day.

it will have to get much worse.

Yes, Clinton is a smart guy with a nearly perfect sense of what to say and how to act to gain favor. In other words, a perfect politician.

The problem with Clinton is his need to be liked never allowed him to make important decisions. Everything was half-assed and conciliatory. His presidency was worse off that GWB's in '95, and then he hired Dick Morris to run the country while Clinton ran for a second term. All of Clinton's "great achievements" were actually the doings of Dick Morris and Leon Panetta.; September 17, 2006 4:38 AM
Anonymous said...: Fellows, there will be no revolution in America.

We'll have Hoovervilles, food riots, etc but no popular uprising.

America is not France, where there are countless uprisings and riots.

In general, the mainstream American believes that his govt will ultimately take care of things and even if the govt doesn't, the attitude is 'shit happens', not 'oh, let's gather around this Lenin guy, and see what he has to say'. That's Europe or Asia.; September 17, 2006 4:45 AM
Anonymous said...: Australia has a preferential voting system, which could be used to vote the bastards out of office, if people weren't so scared of trying something different. Even Australians seem unsure of how to use this.

In a preferential voting system, you can select your first preference, but if you're not sure that you're first preference has a chance of winning, you number your subsequent preferences 2, 3, 4,... etc. If your first preference does not finnish 1st or 2nd (or possibly 3rd) on the initial count, your ballot goes to the candidate you numbered 2. This is an iterative process until all votes are distributed to the two leading candidates. Your vote is never wasted, no matter how extreme your vote is.

Peferential voting is optional or mandatory, depending on the election (federal, state or local). If it is optional, and you're not sure how to use it, you just put a 1 in your prefered candidates box.

I think a measure like this would make the US democratic system even more robust.

I personally would like something like the 22 Amendment to be added to the Australian Constitution, and applied to the position of Prime Minister.

Just a thought.; September 17, 2006 5:05 AM

That's strange, I'm certain I heard Dubya claim he was a "War President" and then turn around and called himself a "Peace President". But maybe what he meant was "piece".

Whatever he meant, it sounded so Orwellian.; September 17, 2006 5:17 AM

Good God...your brain must be totally non-functioning. You describe the alternative with the perfect description of Bush! Is everything you perceive in life backwards?; September 17, 2006 5:42 AM
Anonymous said...: "People said the same thing about Lincoln during the Civil War."

Bush was a "C" student and a "C" president.

Ronald Reagan is supposedly popular even though he let the CIA sell dope to fund his covert war.

I don't blame Bush for wanting to throw out the constitution because the congress stopped funding Reagan's war and, obviously, Bush won't allow a repeat of that.

After reading Stirling Newburry's pieces over at tpmcafe.com, I have a lot more empathy for why Bush is being the bully he is-- because the mideast has raked in american dollars left and right, but I hope that Honda, for example, is succesful with their cellulose ethanol technolgy so we can get our national economy back!

To answer your question: it depends who Bush ran against. In general, I'm a Dennis Kucinich fan.; September 17, 2006 6:09 AM

Here is what wiki says about S&L:

The ultimate cost of the crisis is estimated to have totaled around USD$150 billion, about $125 billion of which was directly borne by the U.S. government, which contributed to the large budget deficits of the early 1990s.
