Paranoria? Oh no, realistic possibilities, considering the track record of the Bush/Cheney cabal. <BR/>It has been stated that the next president (if there is one) will carry on Bush/Cheney's work. That the system to continue the plans of the Neocons is well assured. True? <BR/>I hope not but I would not be surprised. Power once attained is not surrendered easily.Worried Americanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15025693881754554346noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17213045.post-53434552921177943042007-08-06T15:33:00.000-05:002007-08-06T15:33:00.000-05:00I still think it's rampant paranoia.

I also think that it's still very possible that the next president will be a Republican.Endorendilhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16978068671745411352noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17213045.post-47807368446733593472007-08-06T10:26:00.000-05:002007-08-06T10:26:00.000-05:00Me too, Diva but then I told myself "don't be sill...Me too, Diva but then I told myself "don't be silly, it would never happen here".Grannyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17283823157675990935noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17213045.post-18721466884257821172007-08-06T09:09:00.000-05:002007-08-06T09:09:00.000-05:00This is something I've been thinking since 9/11/01...This is something I've been thinking since 9/11/01 - that they have no intention of leaving office in 2008, that there will be an "October Surprise," and the Blackwater Mercenary Army will guard the gates.DivaJoodhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02534571327558009753noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17213045.post-74900719215935742292007-08-06T07:09:00.000-05:002007-08-06T07:09:00.000-05:00The Republicans and Democrats are indistinguishabl...The Republicans and Democrats are indistinguishable from each other anyways.<BR/><BR/>The Democrats didn't end the war- didn't even try, really- and recently voted to give GWB <I>more</I> power to snoop without warrants. They didn't act on social security, or health care, or immigration, and raised the minimum wage a mere pittance.<BR/><BR/>I don't think there's any need to rig or steal an election. Regardless of who wins, the real power in this country will still be with the corporations.<BR/><BR/>We've reached the point where we can't tweak the government through the electoral process- we have to tear it down and rebuild it from the ground up.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
