Yeah, and Paul Revere rode to Lexington to promote his silversmithing business. "A cynic is a man who knows the price of everything, and the value of nothing." Mr. Moore speaks eloquently for the Left, the Center, and even former right-wing folks like me to join forces to get rid of the most cynical, opportunistic, divisive, and un-American administration since Richard Nixon's. Don't whine next year about the terrible Administration if you don't take your chance this year to replace it with a much more reasonable one.
Is there a viable third party candidate that I am unaware of? Other than Badnarik, that is. Being still currently undecided myself (although living in one of the 32 or so 'pre-ordained' states) I found this speech to be "most cynical, opportunistic, divisive, and un-American" ones I've listend to in awhile. (At least since the ones in Boston last week). I don't expect any better from the ones in NYC the fisrt week of september, either. I hope you're right, and that a Kerry administration would be more reasonable. From what he's said, however, I *am* cynical. In a nutshell, he would; -Continue the war in Iraq (Which he voted for as senator) -Continue the Patriot Act (Which he voted for as senator) -Raise taxes and increase spending -Increase entitlements -Prostrate the US to the UN and Europe Of other important policy decisions, he can't be pinned down to a specific answer. So now I can vote for Jack Johnson (Yale grad, skull & bones member, rich due to inheritance) or John Jackson (ditto). Pardon me for failing to see a difference. There is no more Democratic Party, or a Republican Party. There is only the Bureaocratic Party, beholden to themselves, worried only about their own perks and power. If you believe otherwise, then you've drank the Kool-aid too.
