@chiropractor2005 Cheer up bro, it's not all doom and gloom :)

If you want doom and gloom though, check out the Federal Reserve and its 16 trillion dollar bailout. A good start for your country would be to nationalise the banking system.. not use private banks. Ron Paul is the only guy worth becoming president and was the one who has been pushing for audits of the Fed for years, he is the one that exposed the bailout.

Peace to you from England.

my men at the moment you think you know all the things you need to know at that moment you'll be wrong never convince yourself you are more than other people even when you are , because at that moment you 'll be turning in your wolf

Ron Paul is a good choice too. Although he is a Libertarian Republican.

I saw this last year. Powerful is an understatement.

Agreed, Budvb. Hillary's as much a war whore as GWB. Gravel is a Dem of the old school--before that party sadly sold out to corporations and war.

HE was not elected either time...you will live long

enough to have that proven to you...whether or not

you will accept that proof...is up to your intelligence. I am a high school graduate...and I knew much more than any Harvard or Yale graduate...

they voted for the illegal and immoral war in Iraq..

I griped to everyone...no one listened

was it really worth it going into iraq ?? we need to focus inland .. make sure our social security fund is being replineshed,our kids are given good health care ,lets spend our tax dollars where they belong to the americans and let the iraqis handle their own buisness since there was never a threat to the USA .. I cant even watch this movie .. i have been physically ill and depressed since 9/11 i cant handle this no more ..

Dizzyskittlez, I agree. That's why we need to elect Mike Gravel to be our next president. So we the People can have the same powers as congress.. Check out his site, and you can decide for yourself.

To stand silent is to be complicit. It is TIME TO WAKE UP and TAKE THIS COUNTRY BACK from those hell bent on destroying it!

George W. Bush is a WAR WHORE!

Amen!
