Lies, More Lies, and Damn Lies

[MikeyDB]

I respect your optimism, I just don't share in it.

And yes of course nostaligia is at play....not only is the grass always greener...the hourglass isn't either just half full or half empty.....

We believed that there was a place in America for compromise, and although the Cuban misile crisis and several other nasty interludes swept us up in passionate debate, we had a sense that "this too shall pass..."

I fear that the luxury of space time and distance have in and of themselves re-defined our perspectives on many things. The world is a less friendly place...and that may sound strange coming from someone who's participated in some of hte most "unfriendly" places on the planet. I agree that media and the sense of immediacy of world events and global dynamics experienced through today's
culture and communications has had significant affect on our preceptions.

Thanks for your response.

Bush is a liar and a hypocrite the fact that the American public is now under the heel of his oppression doesn't make me feel sorry for them they elected him an he's ruining their country both inside and out hope they make better choices in 2009

They will actually make the choice in '08.

The American people got what they deserve when it came to George, the are blinded by their own sence of importance and the attitude that the world is there to serve them. For years they have been repeating the mantra that Iraq was involved with terrorists when it was not true.
Now their forces are surrounded by a civil war that America started because it couldn't mind its own business. This is not a case of waking up it is really an attempt to save what is left of the Republican Party. Evangelicals and greedy special interests rode into town on Georges coat tails and now they are blaming george for their own greed and shame. George is not a bad person he is merely, really really
politically stupid and that is worse than bad.
Now the greedy and the evangelicals are going to be left stewing in their own juice

Yeah, I did mention in another post, that George Bush, was a good find for Carl Rove and the Evangelists, as he is a rather 'blank', but talkative dip stick, and they used him for everything
they wanted spouted out for their own interests.
They have single handedly dragged their own country down into the gutter, not to mention what they have done to the Iraqi people, and they won't begin to
crawl back up, till after the 2008 election, (we hope), as long as the PEOPLE think, and elect
the right person.
When the campaigning starts, the people get sucked right into the 'horrible' tactics that the parties
use to smear each other, the republicans being the worse of the two in that respect.
