Reply #76: You're talking about mass hysteria more than ignorance... [View All]

...and I'm not sure that's possible for 60 million people. At least I hope there aren't that many clueless citizens in America.

I think most of them DO know what they're voting for. They're voting for the guy they think will win and they don't give a shit if he has to lie, cheat and steal to do it. They don't care about the massive deficits or deregulation of industry or the environment because it coincides with their goal to once and for all rid our government of the LIBERAL ideology and establish a base of power for their party. Like any other fascists in history...power and control is everything to them.

Yes...Kerry opposed many of Bush's policies. But that wasn't enough. He ran as a 'new' Democrat and ran around the country touting his rejectioin of 'redistribution' of wealth downward. In other words...he was for corporate over social welfare.

But what turned me and many others off to Kerry was his support for Bush's unprovoked, aggressive war. I refuse to believe that he didn't know it was illegal and immoral. Whatever courage he demonstrated during and after Vietnam was lost when he took political cover behind the many other Democrats that voted for and continue to support a war that didn't have to happen. He and too many other Democrats are responsible for unnecessarily putting Americans in harm's way and killing thousands of innocent Iraqis.

This is why I'm suggesting that there must be a similar 'mass hysteria' on the Democratic side for so many to support a war (slaughter) that's needlessly taking lives and plundering our treasury. I and many others refuse to join in that hysteria and live a lie.
