good round-up to get us to where we are today

I want to say this one thing before we go further into the abyss of the American politics of today. This is why I just can't and won't sit by silently to watch Mrs. Clinton take the helm of our national politics. They swing from the calm to the ridiculous of our national politics.

At the end of this next presentation, there are some very important questions we all have to face if we have to think clearly into the political world of which we are to guarantee our votes as being important and our right as Americans.

(follow below the fold)

Read what Robert Perry has to say and tell me that he is not the best to give us a run down on the old story and/or the rest of the story, as it my very well be.

I truly enjoyed the review. Ask yourselves if you can answer the questions here and enjoy the debate before we do vote for a new president of our country.

Thank you all here for giving me food for thought and for a place to exercise my 1st amendment rights.

Also, I have wondered for a very long time why the Clinton's and the Bush's can socialize and still not have any bitterness towards each other.

I, for the life of me, can not understand why the Clinton's allowed the reputation of their name be scrawled to this degree and still can political get along with the republicans who some are still sitting senators and congressmen/women to destroy our nation!

After the first initial evidence that the republicans were out after blood in '92-94, and to allow Newt the Grinch destroy our republic the way he did and not allow our voice for other sides of the pendulum come forth is such a travesty. I can see the hypocrisy that now has invaded our national capital and such rhetoric has fallen on/over it. With such a history as we have had, and the investigation of the Iran-Contra affair and things before this, that we must clears up the missing history for us to become very clear of what has happened to ur nation as a whole, as it stands today. This is such a same that we can not get the right answers to the questions of why we can not impeach today or investigations that really matter by the democrats, for that matter. They are bogged down in their own history that will tell the tales of hypocrisy. Such a shame!

That made me sick. Clinton abandoning all those GOP scandals so he could build a "working relationship with those people." Lot of good that did him. And now we want to put the same team back in place, that let bygones be bygones once before?

Hell no.

Bravo, Brenda.

it is so sad when our country has turned the page of democracy, into the rules of deception.

when will people recognize that it is total monetary control we live under, not only corporate greed, but down to the level of personal egotistic greed.

the past four administrations this country has elected, (valid or not) have systematicly stolen our rights. these rights that generations have suffered and died for.

I can assure you that there is a rumbling going on in this country, and every chance, I intend to make it louder, until it becomes a roar that hopefully will awaken the sleeping mass'.

again, I salute you...

peace be with you ..

IP!!!!

Where have you been??????

I miss your voice here. Thank you for your kind words. Yes we have all been snookered for so long of a time.

I know that many have great things to say about Bill and Hill, but they are not who we think they are, or at least how they project themselves to be, IMHO. yes certainly they are not as bad as this administration but they are just a corruptible

We all could use a refresher course in our history, me thinks.

Hugs my brother. Stay well and safe.

Hey Brenda, great to hear from ya, I've been busy, up to my eyeballs in work, and constantly telling people everywhere I go about the injustice we have been submitted to.
You would be surprised to know the numbers of people I have been talking to, and have converted to a different thought train. It has not been so much in what I have to say, but what they are witnessing that is converting so many. The Proof is in the Pudding let us say.
The more the scoundrels that are running things are going to get caught. Not just this administration but several in the past. It's catching up with them.
As I have said many times, if you want to get a person's attention, get in their wallet ; )

I'm an Independent, always have been, always will, so it's not about Republican/Democrat, it's about what's right, and we allready knnow the wrong.

great to hear from ya, and hope to chat with you again.

peace be with you...

Re: good round-up to get us to where we are today (4.00 / 2)

me too IP. I am independent. I tried once to be a dem but it did not work out for more than one month...:o) What can I say....wink wink. The dem party around this part of the country is worthless as, well, you get the drift...;o) YOu are absolutely right about the politics of day present and days in the past.

Good for you to stay in the pitch of things. My brother is a dem and he even worked with and for the dem party till they stabbed him in the back, many years ago. He does not have much nowadays to say about the good of either party. He abhors the rebubs. So guess he is sorta in the same boat as you and I.

As a matter of fact, I need to get off h ere and get ready for a long drive this w/e to go and see them, the family. He is much older than I and he is not in good health. I just feel the need to go and see him for a day or so. Took some vacation days to do this.

Anyhoo, do stay well and safe and try hard not to get into any trouble....wink, wink....hugs...
