But you have and give a picture of pessimism. All I am trying to do is push people to show that there is optimism and that change CAN and WILL happen if enough voices demand it and work for it.

Don't push the negativity and the hatred, expand your views into what can be positively done and work to BETTER the country.

There is no need to tear it down... we have the freedom to make the changes but we have to work for them. (Although I admit I am scared of what Bush may do if the GOP lose in '08.... but that's just my paranoidal side and I can't live on "what ifs" but they are fun to hypothesize at times.)

It's not time to tear down the nation it is time to stand up be counted and push people to come up with ideas to save and better ourselves. We need optimism and positive ideas now more than ever.

RB whether you believe me or not, I like ya. I like and respect most people on this board. I am trying to push people into getting out of the negativity and come up with positive ideas and compromises and debates that produce ideas that people when they read these threads can say, "That could work." or at least push them into thinking positively and demanding positive messages, ideas and plans from their politicians.

We are a country driven on negativety, fed negativity, and hate politics. It is time to push and demand for better.

Who cares what party the person with the better ideas comes from... we need leaders that are willing to take chances, piss people off in their party and the other and to stand up to corporate interests and say, "This is OUR country. A nation is not built on the power of the corporation and rich, it is built on how well educated, the chances EVERY single person has to advance, and the ability leave a better country for the future."

We can do it, we just have to start doing it. If enough voices speak out and demand what is right and demand politicians work for what is best for the country not their party or special interests we all win and we all get a better result.
