Oh wait...they do... they call it free enterprise! How many of the yellow ribbon crowd even think about the massive profits being made at their own expense, off all of this mayhem?

The mainstream media ignores him and cuts him out of the photos. Democrats around the country beg for an end to the invasion and invasion funding yet continue to chant "He can't win". I don't get it.

Indigobusiness: Holy cow...hadn't seen the bit about Saddam's $1 billion dollar exile offer, and that was his own money, not ours, right? Wouldn't have cost us a cent. Holy crap...Bush is the upsidedown crapper over our heads that just keeps on giving.

JohnF: I'm afraid you're right...non-commital political pablum plays right into allowing everybody's perfect-candidate fantasies to survive. And it doesn't help that the the MSM keeps ignoring Ron Paul and Kucinich...just check out the photo of the latest debate candidates, where Kucinich is cropped out of the picture that appeared on CNN's main page: <a href="http://www.cnn.com/2007/US/09/28/hispanic.vote/index.html" rel="nofollow">link</a>. Corporate America has already narrowed the candidates down to their top two or three choices, all of who will play establishment ball and continue feeding the Military Industrial Complex with the blood and sweat of the vanishing middle class America. P.S. Sorry it took so long...adding your page, <a href="http://blog.sustainablemiddleclass.com/" rel="nofollow">Sustainable Middle Class</a> to the bloglist. Good stuff!

Kucinich actually voted against the latest $190B funding, yet he still can't break out of single digits in the polls. Why do the others duck the vote and the tough questions? Richard Nixon fended off accusations that he was "evasive." Why are the successful candidate evasive? Sadly, because it works. When confronted with a barage of non-commital political pablum, the voters are free to define the candidates based on "gut feelings." Good post, Joe.

All the gold in Fort Knox won't save our bacon once the fat is fully in the fire. What an egregious waste of resource. Now we find out our cocksure fearless-leader told the Spanish prez, as he was arm-twisting for war support, it would cost 50b to take Iraq. This, on top of his dismissal of Saddam's offer to go into exile, provided he could take 1b with him. Some businessman, our prez. Some visionary. Some world he'll leave behind.
