Help me, I'm Rip Van Winkle...
I must have fallen asleep in a drunken haze 20 years ago or something, because I could swear that we're actually debating whether torture is an appropriate course of action for the United States to take.

This is still the United States, right? I didn't wake up into some Orwellian authoritarian futuristic society did I?

Am I still dreaming?

1. Go back to sleep.
We'll wake you when it's time to fight the cloned Schwarzenegger cyborg army.

2. Fucking republicans as always - getting their way and they want Hillary & Obama to fight it out.....
Edited on Wed Dec-12-07 08:26 PM by GreenTea
You know Obama is too moderate and still, he will never be the Dem presidential nominee, (maybe VP, but doubtful)....even ole Huckcleberry (Huckabee) would whip his ass....there are millions of Dems who would find any excuse to vote for any candidate other than an African-American which would normally make Edwards even more attractive to them, but the republicans DO NOT WANT EDWARDS as the Dem nominee...Hey Missy, I'm just stating facts I know to be true....The republicans and their owned media are firmly in control of the Dem prez races and outcomes.....The republicans are working hard to keep it a battle between Hillary & Obama...Hillary, she be woman and Obama, he be black man (in the small state party primaries it looks close (pushed by the right-wing owned media) but in a national general presidential election fucking forget it ....with Hillary winning, because even racist Dems would rather see a woman win then a black man....All the while keeping Edwards down never rising above third....that's the republican plan and they ALWAYS get what they want!!!

Don't worry Bill, Edwards will be kept down and Obama is black....Hillary by default!

The republicans always get their man...or woman!


Sorry Virginia, I know you wanted something much more fun and light....maybe you should threaded your post in the Lounge? I'm always way too serious as I study these republican fucks each day, they are simply Nazi fascist in disguise which is the same racist hateful, greedy, corporate imperialistic republican party.

5. Fear is a powerful drug.
If you succeed in making people believe that everyone around them is probably a terrorist, it's much easier to convince them that drastic measures are required to keep them safe.
