I have yet to discuss anything political here, but those who know me personally know that almost above all else I am a political whore. Lately, because of school and post-election-defeat stress, I haven't been *gasp* paying much attention to political developments.
But the fact that President Bush wants $87 BILLION more for the "wars" (even though I thought major combat operations had ceased) in Iraq and Afghanistan, and later the same week 37 soldiers died in ONE DAY in Iraq, strikes me as pretty fucked.
AND this administration has been caught multiple times giving handouts to journalists who defend the right-wing agenda (i.e. pundits supporting "No Child Left Behind" even though the bill was an obvious ploy to starve the public school system out of existence).
And I'm not even going to get into what a mess that coke-fed from a silver spoon fucker's gonna make of Social Security.
Why was Bush reelected again?

Feel free to join the Liberal Politics and Michael Moore Fans group (if you like him) here. The Liberal Politics group has grown a great deal over the past year and sees daily activity.
Bush is a horrible loser. I can't believe that the American people elected that guy. Of course, after Florida 2000, it should have been Gore running for re-election, huh?
The one thing I wish people would stop fucking talking about is Obama in '08. I think he's absolutely amazing (as did, what, 80-some percent of Bush voters in Illinois? I'll have to ask my friends who live there for the exact figure), but the man is still green. We should let him ripen and naturally rise to national prominence. But that's just my humble opinion.
Thanks for the invite to the groups...will probably join the Lib group (not much of a Moore fan).
