Yes, tafka pb, those nutty founding father types were dreaming when they wrote that batshit nonsensical Constitution. What were they thinking? Freedom is scary, responsibility is a drag.

How can you be for ‘personal freedom’ and socialist health care at the same time? Robin Hood has to steal from someone’s ‘personal freedom’ to pay for your subsidized health care.

Socialist should quit pretending to be good Americans. Just go ahead and right up a new Constitution for the People’s Society of America. That way, we the deluded will understand that we are indeed slaves.

I received some ballot information today for a primary out here (CA) on June 3rd…just two state propositions and electing the regional council for the Greens. After a quick examination, I tore it all up.

This will be the first election I have not voted in since 1986…it feels kind of cool.

Oh, Mike. Poor, poor Mike. I like Ron Paul, too. He’s a truthteller. Problem is, about 80% of the truth in his mind is batshit.

I am with the Libertarians when it comes to personal freedom, sexual freedom, a defensive rather than offensive military posture.

They lose me when they become the “every-man-for-himself-invisible-hand-is-my-healthcare” crowd.

I have to believe that Obama is different, that he’s not a corporatist, that he’s not bought and paid for. I have to believe that right now. Maybe I’m deluded, and if he turns out to be just another guardian of the status quo, well, then I shall join IOZ, Frederick, the Culture Ghost and others who are checking out.

For now, I remain engaged.

Stop buying into the Dem vs. Rep nonsense, they are both owned by the banksters. It makes little difference which puppet is to be elected.

See you in the bread lines.

I’ll bet you a couple of rounds of beers that the democratic nominee wins the general election. Are we on?

Once the spotlight is off the Clinton-Obama rivalry and focused on McCain-Democrat, it won’t take too many confused statements from McCain before people realize that he’s just not fit to run the country.

I still think much of this is the die-hard right deluding itself. The primary is killing Obama right now, but people in the US of A have short memories. The Wright thing isn’t nearly as scary as the rightwingers would have us believe.

I think once this primary is over — once Clinton and her yes-people stop deluding themselves — the real issues will emerge and the DNC, Move On, and the Obama campaign will tie GWB around the neck of McCain.

I cannot give into the feelings of hoplessness just yet. Perhaps I am a fool.
