When will *you* "get over it" ?

[Mairead]

No, not Coup2000. No, not the USAPATRIOT Act. No, not the invasion and ongoing massacre in Iraq. No, not the prospect of endless US imperialism.

When will you get over the idea that a DLC/PPI world would be significantly better than a GOP/PNAC world? That parents of children with their arms and legs blown off care whether it was done by a nasty, inhumane GOP-dropped bomb or a well-meant, kindly Dem-dropped bomb? That life is better for a child orphaned by PPI imperialism than for a child orphaned by PNAC imperialism?

When will you break down and admit that 'ABB' is a self-destructive delusion and a snare?

When will you decide to turn your back on the corporatocracy and its greedy psychopaths who want More when they already have too much, and are willing to turn us all into fertiliser to get it?

When will you give your support to the one candidate whose vision of the world is not one in which the US combines 19th-c. colonialist imperialism with 21st-c. police-state technology?

1. No offense, but you sound a little paranoid.

What an odd, odd poll..

[Mairead]

2. What's odd about it? The idea that there are 3 DLCers standing?

Or that PPI is the DLC's PNAC? Something else?

5. No fair, Feanor. That's propaganda, not a response

6. You are entitled to your opinion, even though I disagree with it.

4. After DKs sellout to Edwards in Iowa

you still think there's anyone left who isn't
"with the program"?

9. Apparently some here think imperialism is just fine!

As long as it's good, wholesome Democratic imperialism and not that terrible, unhealthy PNAC kind.

[bigtree]

8. You throw out these monikers DLC/PPI and GOP/PNAC

You claim there is no difference between the Democratic policy groups and republican organizations.

Then this:

"When will you give your support to the one candidate whose vision of the world is not one in which the US combines 19th-c. colonialist imperialism with 21st-c. police-state technology?"

No example of where the DLC or the PPI merge or even any comparison of positions and policies. Just a rant with wild characterizations and accusations of corporatocracy and greedy psychopaths.

And then a loaded appeal to support your candidate. Sure I'll follow you. Where are we going again?

11. PPI is much better written, and makes it sound more attractive, especially

if you read it with a full belly in a nice comfortable home with electric lights, and if you don't have babies screaming from 3rd degree burns with no painkillers in the next room.

[Mairead]

12. "You claim there is no difference"

Do you think there are substantive differences? Certainly the PPI claim there are, but that's hardly a declaration against interest, is it.

Why don't you tell us what you reckon the differences are?

13. The truth is out there!!!

Of course, the obligatory music:

14. Yes, it is. But the lies are in our heads.

15. I'm not sure you heard the airplane.
