November election is probably the last opportunity to restore democracy

Because of complacency, the United States has been taken over by forces who are the exact opposite of the ideals that formed this country. Lulled to sleep by prozac, television, entertainment culture and gadgets, we have squandered the dreams of democratic capitalism and our rights to vote, and allowed an utterly corrupt cabal of arrogant liars to take control of the government and the media.

Bush and his corporate cronies have involved us in a contrived war that is destroying our credibility in the world community. They are dismantling our freedoms, stealing our hard-earned money, and consolidating their control of the information we receive.

The coming election in November is probably the last opportunity for the few people left in this country that vote to turn the tide and restore democracy, but unfortunately we will probably waste the chance.

2. Hey, that made me think of something...

All Bush has to do is unleash zombies on election day in the buildings the elections are held, and he'll win by a landslide!
Mmmm brains.

5. cute

Some would say that is what he did unleash! Of course that is how I felt when Reagan was elected as well.

3. Possibly if there was a canidate that would actually change

anything I would vote for him but none of the canidates I have heard of so far will make the needed changes. So our democracy is doomed.

4. We will take back America

I go into an ice cream parlor in southern MO, and the clerk behind the counter says, "Hope you aren't voting for Bush. We have to get rid of him." Spontaniously. And no, I didn't have a Kerry button, and was dressed like a typical American.

I go into the bank in Harrison AR today. The loan officer says she can hardly wait until she can vote Bush out of office in November.

I talk to my boss over the phone. He's griping about the high price of gas. "You know who to blame...." I start. "Don't worry," he replies. "I'm not voting for Bush. And I'm telling all my friends to vote against him too!"

This is Conservative Country. These conversations happened in the last week. Before this, I've heard from several Republicans who will vote Democratic.

Personally, I think Bush is toast unless the election is rigged.

7. Taking back America...

Let's hope it's not rigged...AGAIN!  I keep hoping that
there's enough things falling apart around him that he'll
defeat himself.
Although, I think it's time for John Kerry to step up to the
plate and show us what he's got.  I can't stand the thought of
another four years of the "Dubya Chronicles"!
