Well, I read all of this and can only say, what crap. As far as I am concerned, this political system is a disaster. Whether Demo's or Repub's, they have only their own agendas to push, and everything is for the party. Screw the party. Both of them. They have a stranglehold on this country, and are advancing themselves, and not the people. When party became more important than the people, and the government slowly took over and started running us, we lost ourselves, and started to follow blindly whatever idiot was brought to power. This government is ours, and if we expect to keep our place in the world, and keep our environment, then we have to stop parking our brains at the door, and think about truly relevant issues that absolutely need to be addressed in our own country. OK, so Kerry won the debate, big deal. Where is the stop to all the building on, draining of, and killing of our wetlands? Why bother with Iraq when the SOB who did this is hiding in Pakistan/Afghanistan? Why are two parties in charge who only think of their own , but leave the rest of us paying their way, making them fat, and getting nothing in return except screwed, blued, and tatooed, while they live high on the hog?? If we do not place more parties with platforms in favor of the people (what this government is supposedly about) in power, then we get what we deserve. Loss of liberty, and no chance of pursuit of happiness. Get fresh minds and new ideas in the White House, and get rid of these jerks who are killing our credibility in the world, and are never straight with the American people. TAKE BACK YOUR GOVERNMENT, AND TAKE BACK YOUR ENVIRONMENT!!! It is up to you. We are already up to our necks in another Vietnam, and that is one thing we cannot afford for our nation, or our people. The horrors of war have already been realized on our soil, go after the real jack a** who did it. Bush. Yuck!! Kerry. Ichh. Democrats. Barf. Republicans. More barf. We need new blood, and need to know how to mind our own business, and when to step in and act. This was totally thoughtless, and I will not support any party that does not support its own people. So neither the Democrats, or the Republicans can expect any help from me. They are quick to take your money, but when you really need them, you don't exist. Debates be dam ned. We are in deep trouble, thanks to thoughtless Government. Screw them. Ah! I feel much better now.
