Oh dear, I think SignyM meant BDN.
And when it comes to trollish - not sure if I count but I do get VERY heated when discussing the topic. At least I'm on topic though !

Best that can be said. Oh, and I express my opinions. No guessing about what they are.
Oh yeah - and to add to that - when Bush got handed the WH the first time he promised to be a 'uniter not a divider' and to 'to restore dignity to The White House.' Very shortly after that it became 'my way or the highway' (Paul O'Neill 'The Price of Loyalty') and a nastier set of political thugs, liars and crooks had never been assembled.
So I get how people mouth platitudes and make promises they fully intend to break - just to get into the WH.
Should it happen on an egregious scale with a democrat as it did with the repubicans I will join all you naysayers. But if it doesn't - and I'm thinking I'm right - I will say I told you so and at every opportunity.

"I just can't see NOT voting AGAINST the repubican policies b/c the democrats aren't 'good enough' for you. That's like handing over a signed blank check for more of the same."
Too bloody true, I *did* vote for Granholm, but she bought that through smashing a ring of predators I had been trying to bring down for years - and she did it in six weeks.
Not to mention being sick of Engler and his shite, not the least of which was the Metrocars deal, which directly impacted ME negatively via my employment.
Second time around, well, what did they have.. DeVos ? and his connection to Amway and that nutter Erik Price of Blackwater USA, who has recently been thrown OFF the IMA/IPOA, often mockingly regarded as the "Merc Council".
It sure didn't help his case to show up disheveled and hung over to a debate with a woman ever so capable of handing him his ass verbally even on his BEST day, neither.
I adore Jenny, but yanno, I don't think she's ruthless enough for politics, she still expects people to do their job, even when sandbagging it is of more political benefit... the budget crisis showed that, and it also showed the MI Rethugs were fuckin liars, since we seem to have a budget SURPLUS rather than the deficit they SAID we had, once the numbers came out - and they pulled that shit to bait the Dems into raising taxes so they'd look bad.
Jenny wants to apply that surplus by cutting gas taxes, giving us poor fuel dependent folks a break, but those same sandbagging, lying, backstabbing Rethugs are fighting it tooth and claw cause they wanna earmark it for some juicy pork... grrr.
I hate both sides equally, but when I DO have an opportunity of any kind to hack this crap off at the knees, I take it and hammer it down all the way, you bet.

Who gave us the USPATRIOT Act ? Gitmo ? Pen-registers and trap-and-trace on 10% of everyone in the US ?
So, rather than take a little step away from the fire you'd rather stand where you are 'cause that little step isn't absolutely everything you want. Sit and burn, then.

Wow Rue. I don't think I've ever seen you attack anyone before.
I'm assuming from prior conversations that we've had here that you don't condone the Patriot Act, Gitmo, etc..... What are you doing about it?
Not trying to pick a fight with you or anything. Honest qustion. I know you lump me in this category, so I'm just curious what advice you would give me since your frustration is not only with Wolfenstar, but with me and others like me as well.

Sorry 6-ix, but I took a look at your posts with the pictures all in a row and all I could think of was - wow, if they were each just a little different from the other you could flip them really fast and watch 'em move.
Mostly I try to be informed about the issues and records so I'm not going on feel-good commercials, distractions and lies. And I give money - till it hurts - to the one organization that seems to be doing anything at all about it - the EFF. And write, write write those letters. To senators, and representatives and newspapers. And keep my eyes out for candidates that are better on liberty than the incumbents. (Feinstein is a democrat and she sucks. I swear she thinks she represents the state of Israel, not California. I can hardly wait till someone challenges her. They WILL get the biggest checks I can write.) Support their candidacies. And write, write write some more of those letters. Mostly, I do what I can.
BTW, I'm curious myself. To me repubican intentions to reduce liberty were very clear. That's why I railed against the US PATRIOT Act, sneak and peak, illegal wiretaps, gitmo, torture, signing statements, so-called voter fraud, data-mining and databases, and the like. But the silence here was deafening.
Did none of these make any alarm bells go off with you ?

IMHO the Dems are rather split. There are Dems who just want to make our cage a little fluffier while taking away any real say in anything. I count Hillary in that camp. Last thing I want is to be tossed into the maw of the health insurance industry, just like I didn't want to be tossed into the maw of the internationals.
I would vote in a heartbeat for anyone who promised to pull out of NAFTA, gut the MCA and USPAT acts, rescind the DMCA, and trash all of those "business-friendly" government mandates that strip us and lay us bare for the rape. Unfortunately he has a snowball's chance in hell.
