Bush can't run again anyway

and it matters not who gets into the White House next time because

politicians are liars who eat crap and howl at the moon anyway

 

How many changes have been made to our Constitution. Our Constitution has

been our protection, and we see it be watered down, if not destroyed. We are

in an illegal war, our own privacy has been infringed on, while we are told it

is because of terrorists. We torture people. Be sure and read the links

that Marcia has included. I know I am buying the Naomi Wolf book as soon as I

can get to Borders. The things that are being spoken of, have been lurking

around for several years. I am also surprised that anyone would say that

someone who has already worked over our constitution , would think he could not

run again, or for that matter just plain plant himself right theree. We may

not be able to trust politicians but remember someone is going to be calling

the shots and we had better take a long hard look at it all. I am not that

enthused for my grand kids to live like what I see happening. I also can not

imagine anyone not seeing what is happening, and in fact what has already

happened. One thing For a christian country which is what we claim, I wonder

how anyone got the idea Torture is approved by Jesus. I also think I read many

years ago something about lies being Satanic, or that Satan is the great

imposter and liar. I should look this up first but I will stand by this. One

thing to get straight is do not pay attention to what is said, except to

compare to what is done. sharon

It is true we have had many a figurehead president, but we all can see

that there can be a difference based on who is put where as far as

appointments go. Not to mention the federal courts. I think it matters

who is in the White house, because whoever it is, is put there by the

people of this country.

 

We have gotten crooks because we voted for crooks based on our

personal fears and prejudices, and did not bother to educate

ourselves. All those crooks at some point campaigned at the local

level, that is where it starts. As long as the system remains, there

is always hope that the general population will get off their

collective butts and educate themselves as to who is pursuing office

rather than swallowing sound bites from bully pulpits.

It should set off an alarm whenever anyone suggests amending the

Constitution, or when anyone tries to increase the power of the

president. It is the one thing that will help our democracy survive

the extreme partisanship that has developed. The constitution was

written by folks that understood the misuse of power by kings and

such, and the danger of power being consolidated into one group with

the power to push their agenda on us all, our system was supposed to

keep that from happening.

 

In the Presidential election, we are choosing between figureheads that

the various power groups think are " electable " . Frankly, I think we

have gotten so concerned by minor scandals that we miss the big

picture of who these people are. What's important? How long they wore

their hair in college or how hard they had to work for an education?

As for politicians private lives, it's nobody's business who they

screw, as long as they don't screw us. I'm more interested in how they

can get along in the world.
