When the democrats inherit this government and raise the capital gains taxes back up, not to mention the others as well, I'll remember who was one of the creators of this expensive little project of ours in Iraq. For some reason Rumsfeld is the first name that comes to my mind. That sob is going to cost me my tax cuts. God damn money waster. A conservative could approve of someone like him. Especially a Johny-come-lately neo-con. But not a free-thinking capitalist. With people like him you don't even need democrats to suck our wallets dry. Sometimes I wonder how much more tax cutting we could have gotten away with if it weren't for that ******* war.

I agree. What I prefer is a federal coucil of seven members of different parties of which one is chosen every year to be the leader for purely representative functions. He or she would hold no more power than the others. Or the citizens who have the power of referendum to correct them. Fastpat, maybe you and I might share some views on direct democracy and citizen referendums.

He is a socialist (bad for America) and he is black (bad for rising within the Democrat party).

Yes, in 1861.

This is 2006, we know we don't need one now. It's called the march of knowledge.

Yes. A helvetic sort of democracy would do fine.

Yes, that could work but only if it required a super majority (75-90%) and granted the government no coercive powers of any kind.

Hmmm, stupid over evil, that's quite a concept.

Yeah..I like Giulianni. I do not believe I used the word honorable. But I do believe that If you can successfully run NYC, which he did, you would probably be a pretty good US Prez.

Fine, we'll take that risk.

Oh, did I tell you that North Carolina bought California a few years ago? Yep, North Carolina National Bank bought Bank of America. Own em, outright.
