4. Yes, let's hope so.
A future of endless war and nothing for the citizens of the US is a crap option for the future of us all.

3. You know what it serves as a stark reminder of?
That if you elect a Republican president, he will never . . . . EVER . . . listen to what YOU want. War, jobs, environment, doesn't matter. They will do what they WANT to do, and there isn't a fucking thing you can DO about it.

Just remember that.

You could be two million strong at the White House gate. Shut the city of D.C. down.

He would. not. care.

Not one BIT. He'd turn the military and police and XE on American citizens in a fast heartbeat and not lose a second's night sleep over it. All of the Republican president's supporters would laugh with their Gadsens and nine-foot flags and grizzled goatees and call us "Commies" and "Hippies" and "Hanoi Jane" or whatever outdated burns they have in their dusty arsenal.

Just remember that.

Never put another BEWSH in the White House (it's still not over). Never put another Republican in the White House.

Remember, there are no more Eisenhowers in that party. Hell, there aren't even any NIXONs in that party. Sad as it is to say, Tricky Dick was a saint compared to this new breed of laissez-fail warmongering theives and liars. You think a modern Republican would create an EPA? You think a modern Republican wouldn't stop any notion of health care reform and give the keys to our future and prosperity right over to the military and Wall Street?

5. its not over, you are correct, when the current POTUS continues Bush policies
including neverending occupations of countries and murder of their civilians and our soldiers.

6. That was the occasion of realizing how thoroughly corrupted our media is
They were pretty much able to ignore this, or underestimate it, or put it on page five.

Then they did the same thing with the protests at the RNC in NYC. Ignored OCEANS of humanity.

Never took them seriously again.
