This is the mentality the Republican party prefers the American public to be in.

Democrats PERSONIFY the "herd" mentality.

The Democrat plan has ALWAYS been

Do more to help the poor

Work to protect the environment and develop "clean" energy sources

Relieve the populations of any form of personal responsibility - even when they want to keep some.

But what they REALLY do is

Chase women

Drink

Kill a few people and call it an "accident."

Make themselves rich

Get re-elected by renewing promises to do the plan

When someone asks them how much of the plan have they actually accomplished, they say "What?"

The Clinton years would have been a GREAT time to start developing some alternative energy sources. But instead, people drove Hummers and monster SUV''s, because oil was cheap and the supply would NEVER END.

Opportunity lost...

Mo-o-o-o-o-o-o! Mo-o-o-o-o-o-oh! I''m a mindless cow, so I''ll do-o-o-o what ever you want me to-o-o-o.

Fat chance ***, not gonna happen. You''ve stampeded enough trailer trash and closet Klan members over the years, but it''s all caught up with you.

In the face of total economic collapse and a major depression on the horizon, you''ve got zip, nada, nothing, zero, to help the situation.

Take your seat at the back of the bus.

I do not think that I will, "msa123".

I find your speculations - with their somewhat strained threads of rationality and logic - to be much more amusing.

Ask yourself, what in the world is going on and how did the Treasury and Fed Reserve just get all this power... and the American people are fighting over taxes. It is the perfect storm.
