Thread Name: BS: Anybody But Bush?
Subject: RE: BS: Anybody But Bush?
Actually I do get it, guest. The situation that Barney Frank succinctly describes is upon us and I think his solution is correct. The deregulation movement that really gained momentum under Reagan is moving the wealth of this country toward a privileged few. Mr. Frank's call for more government involvement is, short of a violent overthrow of the government, the only thing that's going to reverse this trend. This is not a new idea. It's been a pretty standard reaction to Reaganism by liberals as we watch Coporate America dismantle the New Deal. Unfortunately, the American electorate is far too disinterested to support a fringe canidate with enough courage to try and reform things at this point. I guess things will have to get a lot worse before some kind of change can occur. (What do you recommend?)

BUT...if you need a reason to subscribe to the Anybody But Bush philosphy, and IMO there are plenty, his potential for packing the court with conservatives is plenty good enough for me. vl
