Political Thread

[Homerun04]

Let me start by saying I am an Independant............but it really looks like the Democrats are a shoe in for the next Presidential election.....Iraq, unemployment, gasoline prices......the Dems could run Bozo the Clown and beat the republicans thanks to GW's efforts.....and -- it hurts me to even think this -- but I think Hilliary will be the first female US President after our next election.

Greed is killing the Republican party....IMO.....no social values....they beleive in free markets and Capitalism to the extreme (which is incorrect even according to our Founding Fathers).....it always amazed me how the conservative Christian community backed Bush in the last election simply becuase he said he supports Christian values....while he does support some of them (abortion, stem cell research, etc) -- as a Republican he certainly doesn't support many others (i.e. do unto others, it is better to give rather then receive, etc).

Thoughts?

Greed is killing this country from all sides. Nuff said

Greed is killing this country from all sides.

Couldn't agree more.....Uncontrolled capitalism leads to greed.....in fact, Capitalism is greed-based.........the difinition of Capitalism is "profit".....Q: Why does any company exist? A: For profits..........look up the difinition of "profit".....it means "excess"......show me ANYWHERE in ANY organized religion where we are told we should have excess while others have nothing......I defy you......beleive me, I am NOT a liberal in a any way, but I am also not an ultra-competitive person bent on advancing my cause at the expense of others....that, my friends, is what capitalism is all about.

And that is also -- IMO -- the root of why so many other countries in this world HATE the USA.....

We need John McCain to go non-alligned and take the best of both parties with him to Washington.
