Yes, we can.

Really? You believe that it would literally mean the end of America?

America as we know it now. If we continue on our present course, I can only see disaster coming... economic collapse, destruction of our military, massive civil unrest, revolution, invasion… take your pick. The policies of the current neo-con/corporate controlled Republican Party will destroy this nation.

It is so funny that I feel that same way when thinking about Obama or Hillary in office. Without the last sentence, of course.

I resent the hell out of our tax dollars going to the industrial war complex. By that, I mean the apolitical politicians- like Cheney- who stand for nothing more than profit at any cost, even if it means the destruction of our country and the deaths of thousands of our citizens. I never thought you were rich, Scaeagles- I really don't concern myself with such matters, but I do know that you cite money as a primary motivator in your political decisions. I like money as much as the next person, but not at the cost of my humanity.

It isn't that my motivation is that I like money more than the next person. I am just against legalized theivery and redistribution of wealth, which is what I regard a large portion of taxation as. I am against the legalized pyramid scheme of social security. I do not believe that it is the place of government to determine that they can make better use of money I earn than they can. And I resent the hell out of the fact that the government never feels like they can do with less....it is ALWAYS more. Sadly GWB has failed me (and America) mightily in this area with the virtually exponential growth of the federal budget.

Saying GW failed is understating the situation. He and his gang have lied and stolen from the American people, and the world as well. They are nothing more than criminals- not failed idealists. I look at the actions of people like Limbaugh, who openly encouraged crossover voting, and wonder why anyone would align themselves with a party that engages in such cynical and deceptive practices. I'll take a good sex scandal over this **** anyday.
