It is bad if you are one of the families who have recently been outsourced. It hasn't hit everyone but it has hit many and for those folks the current economy and rising costs of everything from food staples to gasoline aren't making life anything but a struggle.

Well, if you want to assign blame for that, blame the speculators in the market driving those prices up and the stupid news media predicting Armageddon.

Oil prices are going up because of speculators NOT because there is any gas shortage. These are the same rich a@@holes who shot up the market on subprime loans.

Of course, market regulation into the subprime loan mess was lax from the President to Congress. Alan Greenspan, a complete idiot and former Fed Chairman, never, ever wanted any market regulations of the packaging of subprime loans into securities that eventually would crash. Did the President or Congress press the issue? NO!

Outsourcing could easily be solved if the do-nothing Congress would eliminate tax breaks for corporations that outsource. Democrats, what have you been doing since taking over in 2006? Nothing except bashing Bush, he deserves some of the blame, not solving any issues.

Democrats assail Bush over Iraq but they have no problem voting to fund the war. They could dearthorize the war but refuse to do so. Why? Because it is a campaign issue they want to use for the 2008 Presidential Election.

How about Voters putting the same lame idiots in-charge? Yes, if you want to really blame someone for the mess in American, how about you. Yes, Americans don't vote, and when the do, it is because of appearances and the same bulls@@t promises they fall for everytime.

How many voters really research the candidates? Maybe 10%. They buy the fancy speeches and, "Omg, dips@@t is coming to my town!"

Candidates, in both parties, have about the same talking points. Like or not, both like big government. Both like control. Both want to keep voters in-line and will do so until 99% actually vote intelligently. A 60% turnout is amazing in America but not overseas. Iraqi ventured out in face of death to vote at about 95%.

The simple fact is American voters are to blame for the incompetence of government. I should say citizens since most are too lazy to vote in the first place. Democrats tried to shut-up Nader who was telling lots of bitter truths.

If America wants to change America, no one should show up on November 2nd unless they are voting for a third-party candidate. Our two-party system is a disgrace. Neither do much that they promise.

Colin Powell quit because Bush wasn't listening to him about Iraq. Colin Powell quit because he knew a mess was coming and didn't want to be a part of it.

Colin Powell should run for President. He'd win hands down but will never run due to the political whores that will use anything to undermine him. He said that. He said he wouldn't put his wife through a campaign.

So, since a lot of people are angry and a lot more should be angry, I want to see riots at both conventions this year. I want to see the kind of riots that made whitey move to the suburbs. We riot after the Superbowl so why not riot about something really important?

America has become a nation of those who don't like to question authority and those that question those that question authority. If I remember correctly, We The People are the boss not Congress or the President. But, since only 50-60% vote, We The People aren't being the boss, are we?
