The guy's car was like an apothecary on wheels: vicodin, pot, xanax, valium... <BR/><BR/>I too voted Ralph Nader in 2000. In New York it didn't matter, but let's face it: it did cost Gore the election in Florida. But Nader's argument that the Dems and Repubs are merely two wings of the same bird I think is disingenuous. Only a Republican turd like Bush would have blown all the goodwill we had back after 9/11. But of course I'm fully convinced We knew the attack was coming and did nothing to stop it. In fact we covered up warnings from all the major intelligence agencies and obstructed investigations left and right (see Minnesota, San Diego FBI field warnings).<BR/><BR/>Max and Serge, if you read one book about 9/11, make it the War on Truth by Nafeez Ahmed. He documents all the different ways the Bush administration let the attacks happen, from how they reorganized the NSA and intelligence agencies to the failure of NORAD, etc. It is startling and will give you goose bumps at what it implied. Then hopefully it will piss enough people off to reopen the investigation. But alas I doubt it. The 9/11 Commission was an even bigger whitewash than the Warren Commission, and that's saying something!Denierhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09868021465867496096noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21120313.post-46617358411781756832007-08-10T14:53:00.000-04:002007-08-10T14:53:00.000-04:00Go for Belgium.

You see, wars are for other people; that's always been the Republican mantra. If this fight against terrorism really were a war for civilization, then why aren't their sons and daughters manning the ramparts. <BR/><BR/>Serge, I'll say this much: If Giuliani somehow becomes president then I swear to god I am moving to Belgium or Denmark, or maybe Canada. Whoever has better food. At that point the country would be lost. Ghouliani is easily the most paranoid public figure since Richard Nixon. The McCain of a few years ago would have wiped the floor with Rudy, but that maverick straight shooter has been replaced with the scary replica McCain that we've seen recently. The only Republican with the balls to stand up to BushCo is Chuck Hagel. But unfortunately he decided not to run. Somebody save this country from itself!!Denierhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09868021465867496096noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21120313.post-29220062879613898962007-08-09T21:48:00.000-04:002007-08-09T21:48:00.000-04:00I remember when Chris Farley used to play Rudy's s...I remember when Chris Farley used to play Rudy's son on SNL. Rudy used to make me laugh, in a good way. He was self effacing, had a good sense of humor, and had he run in 2004 may have stood a chance. Now he's really kind of sad. It's like he forgot that it wasn't just 9/11 that made him one of the more popular mayors in New York's history, but he's clinging to it like it's Linus's security blanket. <BR/><BR/>I'm also not surprised that his own kids wouldn't vote for him. If my dad were running, I wouldn't vote for that prick either. At least he can always look back and say "at least they're not the Bush girls..."<BR/><BR/>I think Mit "Jesus was an American" Romney already took a pot shot at Giuliani about the ordeal, proudly stating that his kids were helping with the campaign and all that. <BR/><BR/>I also eagerly await the day McCain finally snaps on stage and takes down the other candidates in a hail of obscenities and gun fire. <BR/><BR/>On the other side of the fence, I don't know if you caught Hillary's outburst about her support of lobbyists, but it wasn't very well received. <BR/><BR/>In closing, Bill O'Riley is a colossal douche bag.Serge A.

She's a good candidate (which of course is entirely different from being a good senator/president.) In short, I was almost tricked by her concise answers and clever talking points! Fortunately my priest was there and exorcised her foul shadow before my couch started levitating. I'm not a fan; I think she's a Grade "A" Phony. <BR/> That being said, they all are, to some extent. But of course that's politics. The real question is which one would steer us down the least ruinous path for the next four years. I like Kucinich, but well haha. Realistically, Edwards or Obama. I'm probably leaning Edwards right now. You're right about his populism, he's alone in that (amongst the serious contenders, anyhow.) <BR/> As far as Big Dog, I agree. In the 90's he spread our legs real wide for the deregulation crowd, not to mention his slashing of social spending. The fact that he's branded a "liberal" is completely risible and illustrates how far to the right the so-called center has been moved in the last thirty years or so. <BR/> And Jesus, I can't believe that BushCheneyRove and Co. are gonna get away with the incredible amount of evil shit they've pulled. If we had the same press we did during the watergate era, they would have been chased out of Washington by now. Instead we have the "liberal" New York Times' Michael Gordon and Judy Miller schilling for them, while the reporters doing real and honest investigative work are branded as nuts and ignored. Even the once great Woodward has become a Tool.

I think I'm gonna throw my endorsement to...I agree. I think I'm gonna throw my endorsement to John Edwards. And not be default. I think the last thing the country/Democratic party needs is a polarizing figure like Clinton; plus I'm disgusted by Americans being ruled for over 200 years by Bush-Clinton-Bush-Clinton. <BR/><BR/>Edwards is the only one talking about the incredible economic hijacking of the country by the Bush/Cheney crime family. 5 more million in poverty; millions losing health insurance, pensions; foreclosures up; real income and wages way down. And of course the tax cuts, CEO's making more than the rest of the work force put together. Unions have shrunk since Reagan; from 25 percent to 7 percent of the work force.<BR/><BR/>And Bill Clinton is no hero in this: NAFTA, Telecom Act of 96, his own PAtriot act after Oklahoma City bombing. Hillary is corrupt, I'm convinced of it now. I think there was something foul about Vince Foster and a lot of other shady suspicious stuff regarding the Clintons. I love Edwards keeping the heat on by mentioning lobbying, NAFTA, etc.<BR/><BR/>Obama is too young, too inexperienced, too glib for me, but as a VP candidate with Edwards, then you may have something. <BR/><BR/>Ghouliani is looking like the favorite for now, so assume Rudy heading the ticket in '08, but who's his vice pres. We can be sure it will be white & male, and that it won't be Ron Paul! <BR/><BR/>BTW anybody would have come out smelling like a rose as mayor of NYC following 9/11. What -- Bloomberg would have shrunk from the spotlight. Rudy is a pack of lies masquerading as a candidate. If the Dems can't hand him his ass, they deserve to lose, assuming the election is on the up and up -- a mammoth assumption of course. The current Village Voice rips him a new one this week, exposing his campaign stump speech for the work of fiction it is. Problem is the red staters don't read the Voice, they read Readers Digest, and they ain't running no exposes of America's Mayor anytime soon.Denierhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09868021465867496096noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21120313.post-24803177543401075362007-08-08T00:18:00.000-04:002007-08-08T00:18:00.000-04:00I hope I'm right too. I'm trying to be optimistic,...I hope I'm right too. I'm trying to be optimistic, which probably makes me a sucker. <BR/><BR/>It's amazing the way Rudolph lucked into his image as 9/11 hero. Apparently all you have to do to become a Legend is have your PR guy rub some soot on your face and hand you a bullhorn. <BR/><BR/>Anyways, even though it's early I'm nervous about 2008. Dems seem confident in victory, which puts me even more on edge...Magnus Maximushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01254439363709919015noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21120313.post-71937366060655924802007-08-07T21:16:00.000-04:002007-08-07T21:16:00.000-04:00Thanks for checking in, Max.

I'm sure Rove/Cheney have somehow blackmailed him like they did McCain into complete mindless subservience to the Mission. I hope you're right about Americans catching on. I'll believe it when I see it. But Rudy has yet to have a true meltdown moment that will show the rest of the heartland what we NY-ers know: underneath the civilized demeanor, the guy's a total nutjob.

Every time I hear his lazy southern drawl I get mental images of lynchings and Kennedy's head being blown off. <BR/><BR/>As far as Ghouliani, his one note campaign ought to fizzle shortly after the start of the primary season. Americans are starting to catch onto the 9/11 fearmongering technique.Magnus Maximushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01254439363709919015noreply@blogger.com
