Still, Jesse Ventura (a freaking wrestler) managed to stir the ire of dissatisfied Dems & Reps in MN and I have to think as things get worse and worse, at some point, enough people will turn away from the joke our election process has become. It'll take money (for the third party) and, probably (and very unfortunately) a depression-like atmosphere to get it done, but Jesse did manage it without either.<BR/><BR/>If enough people just stick to their guns (or hearts) and vote their conscience rather than the "lesser of two evils" it could shake things up.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13172818.post-42818927245106461462008-09-16T16:08:00.000-04:002008-09-16T16:08:00.000-04:00Especially Kucinich's Impeachment Articles which P...Especially Kucinich's Impeachment Articles which Pelosi admitted she didn't even read, (though Kucinich is still pushing for this). <BR/><BR/>It's amazing that Clinton can get impeached for cheating on his wife, yet Bush lies to us and sends us to war, abuses his executive powers, etc, and nothing happens.<BR/><BR/>Martha Stewart went to jail for lying; why can't Bush?<BR/><BR/>We have a two party dictatorship right now. Ron Paul might as well be a third party candidate the way the Republican party has changed over the years. <BR/><BR/>Yet third parties can't get anywhere because the Democrats and Republicans control everything; they put a stop to third parties after Ross Perot got 20% of the vote in 1992.<BR/><BR/>So now we have basically two parties which are not very different from each other.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13172818.post-18419154674275020302008-09-16T16:03:00.000-04:002008-09-16T16:03:00.000-04:00As can be said about the supposedly "liberal" Demo...As can be said about the supposedly "liberal" Democrats ... what they did to Kucinich (laughed him off their own debate stage).<BR/><BR/>You're right, JD ... absolutely ironic.

The difference betw...John makes a very good point. The difference between the parties is miniscule. If we "really" wanted change, we'd be behind Ralph Nader. Explain to me how "real" liberals can vote for Obambi rather than Nader. Obambi is a football field to the right of Nader (because the left has been truly marginalized) and what did the Dems do when they had the chance to solidify support behind Obambi 8 months ago? Instead of knocking Hillary out of the race the first time her side injected racism, they backed off and let her run wild.<BR/><BR/>If (or when) the Dems lose this one, they can backtrack 8 months or so (10 by election day) and remember one more time how they snatched defeat from the jaws of victory. Don't call the part of the country stupid that backs McCain and his obviously unqualified choice Palin ... take a good look-see at your own party (if you're a Dem) and remember how your guys let the unity Obambi had fostered slip through the cracks with an appeal to racism by your next candidate (hillary clinton).<BR/><BR/>If you lose this one, you just might see there's nothing to feel superior about at all.<BR/><BR/>You want real change, stop kidding yourselves and vote for Nader ... or maybe next time don't laugh Dennis Kucinich off the debate stage.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13172818.post-18754818001585220202008-09-15T21:51:00.000-04:002008-09-15T21:51:00.000-04:00Yeah, McCain is a terrible choice.

The letter writer says thinking of Dusty as VP has him looking at moving to New Zealand. In Canada we hear about "liberal" Americans thinking about moving here if the US gets much more conservative. I suppose they could also think about moving to any western European country because they'd all be more "liberal" than America.<BR/><BR/>So, my question: if the USA gets too "liberal" for people what countries in the world could they move to that would be suitably "conservative?"<BR/><BR/>Might be an interesting list of countries with shared "conservative" values....John McFetridgehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09442198820998606682noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13172818.post-30221884041200044982008-09-15T16:47:00.000-04:002008-09-15T16:47:00.000-04:00Remember when bringing the family into it meant Bi...Remember when bringing the family into it meant Billy Carter?John McFetridgehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09442198820998606682noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13172818.post-22967388891703598762008-09-15T15:48:00.000-04:002008-09-15T15:48:00.000-04:00Terrific column, Dusty.
