Attack Iran in June and the country goes wild. Declare martial law, cancel the elections in November, Bush stays on as dictator and the neocons will be dancing in the street.

My response: YES, you have the idea here! Blow up a couple bridges and a *** in the U.S., blame it on mythical terrorists, THEN declare martial law! So forth and so on.

What surprises me is that Bush hasn''t gone to Dems and pushed them for a draft! Think about it?! His party is probably going to lose big time in November, he''s not up for election, what does he care?!

He would then have his troops to continue onto Iran!
He could arraignment a deferment for his new son-in-law to keep him out of the military! He''d get the continuation of the U.S. presence in the Middle East for at least some time after he''s gone because it would take awhile to sort this mess out!

I''m just shocked that they didn''t come up with this and do it! He definitely is slipping! Nancy Pelosi would cooperate because Bush has her ''wrapped around his finger''! He says,''bark'' and she goes ''bow, WOW!''

Well, we''ll see what happens!

Lawyers File War Crimes Charges Against Rumsfeld And Others
In German Court

By Michael Ratner

29 November, 2006
Revolution


On November 14, the Center for Constitutional Rights (CCR), the International Federation for Human Rights, Germany''s Republican Attorneys'' Association, and other groups and individuals filed a formal complaint with the German Federal Prosecutor to open an investigation and, ultimately, a criminal prosecution of former Defense Secretary Donald Rumsfeld and other major U.S. officials. The complaint argues that Rumsfeld and other high-ranking civilian and military officials named as defendants in the case have committed war crimes, and in particular torture, against prisoners in Iraq, Afghanistan, and Guantanamo Bay. Following is an interview Revolution did with Michael Ratner, president of the CCR, who was among those in Germany on November 14 to file the complaint.

"f Obama where to actually make
it past the Republicans and get in the White House, the results will be disastrous."

truthyness, what will the diasaster be? a president that responds for the interests of the people and not the corporations?

This morning on CBS up to the minute broadcast they stated a fact every American working class citizen has known and seen first hand for the past seven years.

Under George Bush administration, Gas has tripled, the cost of living is escalating, the number of Americans unemployed or underemployed due to corporate outsourcing has tripled. A stagnant pay level the middle class is facing is reaching a critical level. So yea I believe things should look extremely gloomy for the Republican party..... I don''t know if the Democratic Party has any magic cures, I just know its time to stop the destruction of America for the benefit of the wealthy provided by blatant pro corporate policies of current Republican leadership......

I also come from a long line of Democrats but I have to face the fact that the Democratic Party isn''t what it used to be.

Two things have become evident to me even though they don''t
make any sense at all.

The first one is that the Democratic Party Leadership
knows damm well that if Obama where to actually make
it past the Republicans and get in the White House, the results will be disastrous.

The second one is that the Democratic leadership
is throwing this election.

I know it''s hard to believe. I know it doesnt make any sense. But it''s happening everyday right in front of us, and I can''t go on telling myself that it isn''t.

Maybe things wouldn''t be so gloomy for republicans if they actually had a nominee that was against Amnesty, rather than Juan Amnesty Mccain! I hate Amnesty! That is why I hate Juan Amnesty Mccain! I could tolerate a republican president, as long as that president was staunchly against illegals getting amnesty. I can''t and will never call Juan Mccain my president. If there is enough idiots in this country to vote for mccain, I swear i''ll move overseas then! I''m tired of republican nominees that only look out for the filthy rich, and the illegal immigrants! Isn''t it time for hard working blue collar americans to have a voice in Washington, and have a president that represents our interests, not the interests of illegal immigrants! America for the americans! Say No to Juan Amnesty Mccain! Vote Democrat 2008!

I think yes the Republican should be gloomy. Everything the conservatives and Repubs have stood for has proven to be an absolute failure. Like their president bush, they will be recorded in history as bumbling failures.

John Boehner is a poor excuse for minority leader. Fortunately, Nancy Pelosi is the worst Speaker of the House in history.

My response: You''ll get no argument fm me, mister! I think you''re correct on both points! The so-called leadership in Congress for both parties stinks!

Too many Republicans supported the Bush Adminstration for too long and refused to speak out even when Bush exhibited staggering incompetence. The Republicans have no one to blame but themselves for putting their party and their special interests ahead of the welfare of the country.

The most important thing the Republicans in the House of
Representatives can do to improve their chances in November is to select a new minority leader.

John Boehner is a poor excuse for minority leader. Fortunately, Nancy Pelosi is the worst Speaker of the House in history. The GOP house members need to get off their rear ends and find a better leader.

jrysk....Read the article. Biggest load of ***** I have ever seen. If Obama has committed crimes as you claim then why hasn''t he been exposed and arrested? When that happens I will believe you. Until then you are nothing but another neocon loser trying to stir up a ***** storm. It won''t work...the people aren''t as stupid as you seem to think. If this "investigation" has been going on as long as claimed the government would have taken Obama off in chains long ago. As for all the characters mentioned in the article, how many are under indictment? I can''t believe the lengths some people will go to simply to spread rumors. If Obama was involved and knew that this was taking place he is surely smart enough to know that sooner or later it would all come out. Why would he spend the time and effort to run if he knew it would all be for nothing? This whole thing is absurd.

The Neocon''s see the train wreck coming and will probably opt for the "National Emergency" option.
Martial Law, Dictatorial Powers, keep the Money Faucet wide open into the pockets of Big Oil and Big War.
It''s good to be a Filthy Rich War Profiteering Neocon Nazi Scumbag......

This elction''s biggest political fraud is the U.S.(Federal) Dept. of Education. The department of education is in the student loan business in the billions of dollars and not in the business of education and learning. It is a legacy that starts and impacts most in the slums and ghettos of America. Blacks and Hispanics are still in the back of the bus in education. We have the worst educational system worlwide. Return the education responsibilities back to the states. Abolish the Federal Department of Education. I believe both MCain and Obama will do this if elected.
