I can't help but hear that in Stewie Griffin's voice.
I liken myself to the Gnomes of Zurich.

I see you like making false statements, Arianna. That is unfortunate.

I have a question Jaime, if Nixon can't cover up Watergate, and bush can't even cover up wiretapping, than how could anyone ever hide conspiracies the size of which you're describing?
I'll agree that many people in positions of power were put there my secret societies, skull and bones being up there near the top, but it isn't my personal belief that this is part of a huge conspiracy to create a new world order, but instead simply a group that is perpetuating itself by guaranteeing what it promises. It's keeps it's members rich and helps widen the gap between the rich and the poor. As for Globalization, trust me, you want it to succeed, we all want globalization to succeed, it is in our best interests for the world to be connected in a fair and equitable world economy. Wars disrupt trade, and there is very little reason to go to war between two countries that are peacefully and equitably trading.
Back on topic, I was a little dissapointed about the democratic response this year. I thought it ironic that he was bragging what his state has done even though he had been elected just 18 days previously. However, I don't think democrats should take opposite positions just to take opposite positions. Realistically speaking, the democrats don't need to take a more leftist response to please their far left liberal support, as those people are SO liberal that they would never vote for the oppoosing party anyway. In addition I'm really worried about how polorized the american political system has become these days, and I do appreciate that the democrats didn't spend the entire response slamming Bush, if only so that the two parties can at least try to start working together.
Popular support for Bush is at an alltime low, the Democrats probably didn't feel any need to slam bush and look like rabid dogs ferociously attacking when he's down. In the end he made a rather subdoed speech and they made a rather subdoed response. The democrats don't need to bury bush, he does it all on his own.
You have to believe that doing a small, genuinely kind thing for someone will make the world a better place. Those small acts of compassion, those real acts of love, give each other the greatest gift of all-hope.

See, the trick to a conspiracy theory is to make claims that absolutely cannot be proven or disproven. Your lack of evidence is never a factor. *** THEY *** are hiding the truth from you.
Sorry to continue the thread hi-jack. This bullshit just really baffles me.

J, I feel your pain, bro. Both on this conspiracy hijack and the once-progressive dem party. I'd love to see the progressive side of the party go it's own way as a third party, with a decent candidate instead of the kind of candidates that the green's have been running.
Meanwhile, I'll continue to vote the lesser of two evils, friends don't let friends vote repug...
And let's not forget how the nader voters narrowed the margin the first time the chimp ran, thus helping shrubya to steal the florida election (with the help of his daddy's supreme court).
