Now adays, It’s Christmas Time All Year for the Rich
In the true spirit of “let them eat cake,” our Democrats are joining hands Republicans Politicians to dance around the tree handing out gifts to those who have it all anyway. Here are some bills that I suppose our wonderful Democratic leaders will be introducing:

Elimination of the 40 hour week,
Elimination of the Over-time, Opps they have already done that one.
Elimination of Unions,
Elimination of making people who hurt other people for profit take the responsibility for their criminal acts…Opps once again they have already don’t that one.

Having worked my ass off the last election for Republican Lite Kerry….I am now looking around for another way…If all we are going to get is kicked in the ass by those who solicit our support and money ( I suppose we just do not give enough to buy the best) then why do we continue to support the sell-out bastards?

Just a thought

3. After the Depression, the train ride for the rich got sidetracked.
Of course, St. Ronnie got it back on the express rails. Now we have Busholini converting it to a bullet train. And the sheeple let it happen.

2. Fortunately, some Dems still support us..........I think?!?!?
Now, the chimp is almost laughing in the faces of the middle class and his pugs/corp friends/golf buddies are whistling all the way to the bank.

4. Yes. And all our Congress members, with the exception of a few are
fabulously wealthy.

5. I feel like I was had in the last election.
Edited on Thu Apr-14-05 11:21 PM by Cleita
I actually took time I didn't have to canvass. I was the full time caregiver of my husband 24/7 at that time and the extra energy and courage I had to summon to go spend a couple of hours climbing hills to try to get out the vote was a sacrifice. I was willing to make this sacrifice because I thought my leadership gave f**k.

Apparently they didn't.

I wasn't the only one that had to go the extra mile and with all the effort we made to try to get Kerry elected, it seems like no one cared about our blood and sweat. When our Democrats do a vote like they did today on top of the quick concession of the election and the refusal to even try to start impeachment proceeding against some of these white collar mobsters, I mean it's as if we didn't matter.

I really felt used and very unappreciated.

6. Kerry gives a fuck. Beleve that.
Wow, Cleita, you invested a lot. I didn't do that. There are many people who did, or didn't, but you are opening our eyes. To the whole farce.
