America The Spineless
Well, kiddies, it would appear that Howard Dean's obsessive "anti-war" rhetorical platform was just a front to attempt to be elected. According to the above GNN published article (originally from the Minneapolis Star-Tribune), "Dr. Dean" has aparently reversed his stance and is encouraging Bush and other such neocon scum to continue the conflict "[n]ow that we’re there".
Although I found Dean's campaign to be too one-sided and statist-lefty, I did up until this point give him credit for running what (at least I thought) was a well-meaning and honest campaign. Well, now it appears that I was duped as well, and I feel a bit embarassed!
In related news, the approximately $82 BILLION "Emergency Military Appropriations Bill" has passed Senate from the Hizouse. According to the God-awful New York Times at least, only about 70%-80% of this money (from all of you, of course) is going to military use. The other 20 to 30 percent? Who the hell knows. All I know is that I'm not getting any of it and I bet none of our readers are, either. The best part of this legislation is that Congress believes We The People are so incredibly gullible and brainwashed that they blatantly and without reserve admit that not all of it is being used for its purported purpose! Check your local paper or news site for more details, you'll no doubt find the general breakdown.
Finally, this bill increases the compensation to families of "expended" troops from a bit over $12,000 per year to a full $500,000! I hope this is yet another typographic FUBAR on the NYT's part, or we're really in trouble. a tenth of that ($50,000) I could see perhaps, but half a million! The serviceman/woman's dead for crying out loud, not in the hospital or rehab.
I appologize for any rancor that results from my rubbing of some people the wrong way, but I say what I say not as a personal attack on anyone, but as a way to wake people up to reality.
That said, if you're an LP National member and/or newspaper subscriber, you should be recieiving a letter from Executive Seehusen about a petition to the RNC chairman telling him to pressure his officeholders to cut the crap when it comes to porbarreling. As always, he wants your money, which you can send in if you want to, but I highly encourage to send in your petition at least. I did.

No surprises here...Dean is just another lying democrat who likes getting votes through deception. Look, there's nothing wrong with supporting the war, but don't lie to the public about your stance! A lot of the people don't want war, so let them vote for an anti-war candidate such as Badnarik. I don't want war, and I would have voted for Badnarik had I been old enough.
Furthermore, at the least Dean had the balls to lie and say he was anti-war, Kerry had this grand idea he could just criticize Bush and people would apparently see him as anti-war, when in all reality he very much supports the war. Kerry is a stupid (expletive) who doesn't even know how to decieve the American people. No wonder he didn't win the election.
