yeah we definitely can't jump out that's for sure. in our current situation where shias are committing terror crimes at will it almost makes sense to use our current position in iraq to exterminate those fuckers in iraq & iran as well. in fact, the US could assassinate or otherwise exterminate every shi'ite cleric in any country that they exist in the world & i would applaud the victory. When the followers weep for their martyr, make sure to take care of every one of them as well. But, you see, we 're not going to do that because the Republican multinational billionaires have been in bed with the rat bastards for a long time now.
your little parroting of proud marie's inept post earlier today though shows that you are in ignorance & denial. Even Bush snidely defends the war to the democrats explaining that "at least we have an energy policy." Anyone that doesn't believe this war is over resources & also profiting from corrupt insider contracts alongside stealing from bloated (& often outright bogus) military budgets needs to fucking get with reality.
when rahm emanuel (d-il) was on maher last night a question was put to him by bill that addressed the inherent power of lobbyists & implied that it might be the most important concern & the representative just brushed off the question & redirected his attention elsewhere. i've seen enough already. rep emanuel is a bought-&-paid for mountebank. to add further evidence, he voiced support for hillary clinton as the next democratic presidential nominee much to the chagrin of mr. maher. I've of course remarked in our little political threads here that campaign finance reform will never fly like it should & the what's really needed is a call for a constitutional amendment to end repeat terms of office because the corruption has grown to be that bad among republicans & democrats alike. Bill Maher repeatedly makes another great point. He often remarks upon the Democrats' puzzling weakness to really go after the republicans through republican-style demagoguery which would surely win them elections. the democrats did go after bush heavy that one time...regrettably over slight katrina mismanagement which made those particular democrats (& celebrities) look like irrational, ridiculous fools; & i suppose many of them are. thank heavens that it was a bipartisan criticism that nixed the proposed uae dubai world ports deal. that, along with ever soaring gasoline prices, is what tipped the scales & is still wreaking havoc with bush's numbers.
if you truly observe recent american history, you'll discover that it was during the '80s & '90s that PAC lobbies sponsored by large corporations & huge wealthy interests gained their massive political clout.
the '80s & '90s saw a time of an unprecedented rapid (in some case exponential) growth of wealth in this country. Think of it as the rape of the Baby Boomers' harvest. As a result, even the Democrats succumbed to the temptation. But we've crashed now & in a big way. The democrats may be corrupt too by & large but at least they are more likely to be more truthful & also more mindful of the laws of the united states. their record shows that at least. you may just want to ask yourself at this point, golden child, just who it is that (as you put it) "has a stick up their ass"?
