Question about Perot and NAFTA
Didn't Ross Perot say that if NAFTA passed there would be a giant sucking of jobs out of this country?

3. I knew.....
I voted for him.....I was just so fed up that I wanted anybody who could run a business to run our country. I didn't know enough about Clinton to vote for him. That was before I woke up.

4. You were right. We need somebody who is willing to work for the People
We have to get Corporate money out of politics.

5. Thanks
Sometimes I think I was just stupid, other times I think I was brilliant. I still want to have a politician who works for the people. Do you honestly believe that we will ever have that again? I feel that the politicians are for the most part bought and paid for and it makes me sad. The few honest ones that I know of are Dems so that is why I am here.....for now.

6. If we do not get the Dems to have the majority in the house
next year and Impeach the whole treasonous
MIS-Administration this country will be beyond redemption. I am making plans to flee. The world will not allow the frauds and felonies to go unchecked.

Watch the dollar crash. Watch the world refuse to support our debt.
Watch inflation go to 1000% a DAY.
and watch the chimp smirk through it all.

7. Me too...
I have a thirteen year old son and a nine year old daughter. My husband is a computer programmer. My entire family is at risk. I just don't know where to go. I have no money to speak of...living from paycheck to paycheck like most Americans and my husband is very passive and is in denial. I have no idea what to do........Dear God in Heaven.........do I need help and a plan.

Sometimes I just feel so helpless.

9. Perot said this non-stop
and he was more than right. I think Clinton sold out the working class in the country when he signed the agreement into law. Perot was the last and best chance the people of this country had to break the monopoly of the two party system. There IS a difference between Dems and Repubs, but being very cozy with the business interests of this country isn't a major one.

10. AGREE
I firmly believe that if the special interests money weren't involved in politics, the world would be a different place. I don't believe that Bush would have stood a chance in a world like that.

Greed and money ARE the root of all evil.
