Are the Republicans the REAL terrorist threat in this country?
They steal elections in Florida, Georgia, Tennessee, etc… use muscle tactics against Democratic legislators in Texas, finance recalls for elections they don’t like the outcomes of. They use their corporate money for lying and slander of others and laws they don’t like. They support electronic voting machines in which THEY control the software, with no paper trail.

The Republicans have almost absolute control and ownership of the “free” media and our airwaves in this country. (Ashcroft and the Patriotic Acts allows for real free speech?)

They exploit the shit out of our environment for financial gain, support no government programs for the people (unemployment insurance, minimum wage, Social Security, Medicare, disability insurance, etc…) only tax breaks, corporate welfare and bail-outs for Republicans.

The Republicans are more scary than any foreign terrorist, and much more of a real threat...the Republicans are terrorist in this country, the way they use their money to steal elections and subvert democracy...and nobody seems to give a fuck!!!!

Who’s the real menace to our democracy and way of life?

2. You have spoken the unspeakable !
And you are correct. Until we can get rid of these fascists that have taken over this country, we will continue on this rapid decline. But how can you convince moderate Repubs of this?

3. The GOP is a much greater threat than al-Quaida
Because they are Americans who have essentially renounced allegiance to everything this country stands for in the name of Corporatism.

They are truly fascists. I won't give them the credit to compare them to the Nazi, who were the undisputed masters of 20th century evil. But they're probably ahead of Mussolini.

4. Yes, the Republicans now in control are always trying to hiding it,,
Edited on Fri Aug-15-03 03:51 PM by Oracle
but indeed they are truly fascist!

And yes, fascist invade other countries, spreading lies and stealing the weaker country's resources...yes, they start unnecessary wars!!!

"Moderates" are the true joke in life...these people are so afraid of everything they stay on the fence and don't know which way to jump...until something or someone else convinces them it's safe. Pitiful!

5. How long do you think it's going to be before
the power grid failure is going to be linked to the need to drill for oil in ANWAR. You think it's ridiculous? Look how they connected Iraq to Al Queda.

7. Your absolutely right...

When Enron was killing us with inflated prices here in California, (as Davis was begging Cheney and the Feds to put price caps on George's friend, Ken Lay and Enron. All Cheney did was laugh and say no.)

Then the exploiters got their way and the next thing you know they were building a shitload of new nuclear power plants all over California.

It's fucking like "Sim City" with these fucks...they will never be happy until they build on, and exploit it all, everything!
