Subject: RE: BS: US Election System
Yep. Alanabit, you got it figured just about right. But what gets to me is the complete puffed-out-chest type of arrogance that Junior displyas as if he actually won anything, which we all know he didn't. Well, a few folks don't know it but then again there are a few folks who think that Kennedy wasn't killed either, that it was all staged by the CIA who had him abducted by aliens and taken off to another solar system...

Thing about Junior, is that he's been *given* everything in his life by his daddy and his daddy's friends. Oil companies. Baseball teams. Whatever the kid wants, daddy will figure out a way to get it for him. Heck, daddy got him an oil company which he ran into the ground, but not before taking $800,000 out of the piggy bank just months before it crashed. Hmmmmmmm?

Yeah, we could use some good old fashion *Made In the USA* honesty in not only the way we fund elections but also how votes are cast and counted. But, I'll be perfectly truthful, I don't see it happening. Too much dough going to too many repubocrats and they have got control of the government.

But I am hoping that the Green Party will run someone with a little more charisma than Nader next time and gets the required 5% ti not only get some funding in '08 but also into the debates. Hey, a two party system is a start. Even if one of the two only has 5%. It's a start.

Yeah, that would be a silver lining if Junior continues on his path of overlappin wars as he spends a big chunck of America's future going after one axis of evil country after another. Folks then could really think of abandoning the Democrats, if they felt that the Dems had no change of winning the White House because historically, voters don't change Presidents in the middle of a war unless they can't or won't run anymore.

But we do need to clean up this mess...
