I doubt that'll happen. Then again, it would be interesting to see him try. guliani tried just exactly that in NYC right after 9/11... and got told in no uncertain terms...
"No way!"
And he was popular (why I don't know).
Then again, the American people have shown an astounding ability for running scared and being herded like sheep.
Frankly, everything we've become reminds me of what the USSR was like at the height of it's power (...right before it collapsed). The same violating of rights, the same scare tactics, the same throwing out of the constitution...
I am worried that BUSH ( i voted for him) is gonna override the election because of war like IRAN or RUSSIA......Maybe thats just the internet getting in my head...
Lame ducks can be dangerous. You've gotta watch what they do. In these last months, a lame duck tends to do whatever they can to aid in their own financial success after their presidency ends. It looks like Bush is staying in character with this one, and sinking to the lowest, greediest actions he can.
Well said Savas !
I can't believe the Bush administration. It's like they are untouchable and can do what ever they please. Someone please impeach these guys ! I've signed evey petition for impeachment, and I see millions want it done. Yet nothing happens. I have lost faith in both parties. It's just insane !
This is the social side, where we discuss issues...have fun... etc...
I'm not a big fan of "moveon" myself, but i recognize corporate greed when I see it in action. The whole plan here is to make contraceptives unavailable through health insurance, simple as that.
This will end up hurting us "little people", and making big bucks for the companies involved.
Frankly, part of recovery SHOULD be political and social awareness. Learn the issues, make a best educated decision, and become involved. Many addicts after years of living "alongside but not a part" of society need to learn how to become socially responsible people again.
So... if you want to be an iron clad, gun toting republican, or a weak kneed, daisy carrying liberal, that's fine by me. :) As long as everyone gets INVOLVED.
This is our country folks, and we're supposed to decide it's future.
We turn more and more power over to a small elite group of individuals every day, and it shows in the bad decisions being made.
Let's exercise our awareness. They say you need to get reconnected to your family, friends and people as the beginning of recovery...but it goes further. We are a NATION. Connect to that, and you'll never be alone.
Did anyone mention that this was a substance abuse site? Whatever - if you need to vent - go for it. Best of luck to you in recovery ---
Dude....going to moveon.com was your 1st mistake...though i agree the conservatives are a little crazy....The left wing (move on) is even crazier......
Think about this Bush goes way over the top on people not having sex before married and not killing the baby or pretending it did'nt happen..
Move on goes over the top with have sex anytime you want and kill any baby you want and pretend it did'nt happen all you want...
So they both have a point......Also do you know about George Sorros ? he funds the thing....
