Americans, do yourselves and the world a favor and boot out as many Repubicans as possible on Tuesday (think it is).

It's hardly necessary to dwell on the security failures of the current Washington administration. The world and the US itself are far more dangerous to day than 5 years ago. The war in Iraq (more even than Afganistan) has been:
  • Ill-conceived, (WMD? yeah, right)
  • Poorly-prosecuted
  • Counter-productive.
And Muslims throughout the world have be alienated and the extremism among them fostered so that terrorism is increasing likely everywhere including the US. This was predictable and was predicted by people as lowly-placed as myself.

The real threats to the US, (and various other "first world" nations but none more so), today are:
  1. The widening gulf between rich and poor (and the unattainability of the American dream)
  2. Gobal warming, polution, and the practical scarcity of natural resources
  3. Alienation of the rest of the world as result of the misuse of power, and resulting in terrorism and nuclear arms proliferation.
The Republican Party needs to be view in terms of these issues, especially No.1. The cardinal error of American "middle-class" is that that party represents their interests in any way. Americans accept a very broad definition of "middle class", (basically anyone with a full-time job), and that's fine with me. But I'm specifically not talking (only) about the working poor, rather about the professionals, corporate middle managers, and small to medium entrepreneurs. You folks, get rid of the notion that what happens to the destitute and the working poor isn't your problem, their impoverishment will eventually -- and sooner rather than later -- result in your own. The Repulicans' only true constituency is the gobal corporations and the super-rich who believe they ignore the welfare of the nation to further their own, misanthropic, self-interests.

Social conservatives?? The Republican Party pays lip service to the American Dream and Christian values, but it's only that. Republican leaders serve mammon and they do not serve God. So social conservatives too are deceived by Republicans. Consider yourself "Christian Right"?? Then you are self-deceived as well. The term is an oxymoron: the Christian Right are neither right, (small "r"), nor truly Christians -- rather they are Pharisees.

In short there are really only two kinds of Republican voter:
  1. The greed rich, and
  2. The stupid.
