We need an election year war to market after Labor Day like Bush
Not to bring up too bitter a memory from eight years ago, but I definitely remember how Bush and his Republicans did so well in the 2002 midterms. They drummed up the Iraq War on false pretenses in an election year.

Oh yes they did.

Now Dems don't have the limitless lowness that Rove, Bush, et ilk displayed at that time, so I am not seriously suggesting we start a war for no reason like they did. But maybe there is some other product we could market "after Labor Day." And next time someone asks a Dem why we are apparently looking at trouble in November, I hope they say: "Cuz we don't start wars to win elections like the GOP."

2. We already own Canada
We just let them think they are independent.

3. Right Wingers
We call them enemy combatants, round them up, and jail them with no charges until at least after the elections.

5. Down With Welfare for the Rich!!!!!!
Call me a commie, and I don't care. I have no ax to grind behind my impulse to follow the
Golden Rule.
It doesn't take a religion or a political party or a theoretic "ism," to see and understand the UGLINESS of the Right wing continuing it's attack for more tax breaks for the rich, less regulation of their Big Pharma, Big Oil, Big Ag, Big Military Industrial Complex!!!!
