Thank you.

Whenever William Tong comes up with one of his great hits from the Vietnam War Era I respond with one of mine from the CIVIL WAR ERA. DemocRATS were the party of slavery then and through Socialism STILL ARE.

We don't need to rig anything the way your crooks did last time. We'll win this thing the old-fashioned way: We'll EARN it. As for the Civil War, at the time, the Republicans were the liberals and the Democrats were the conservatives. Both parties changed, and now it's the Republicans who defend the Confederate flag and racist policies. Just once, I wish Reagan had said, "Mr. Helms, tear down that rag!"

Don't you DARE try to connect me to Neo Secessionists. In fact if you look at my song parody history here you will find I have used Marching Through Georgia, the most HATED Civil War song by Neo Secessionists extensively as an original for parodies.

Coral: As someone fairly up to date on the American Presidential race and what the two parties stand for, while living outside of the USA in a country messed up by REAL socialists (Sweden), I feel I have to tell you that the one thing that bothers me (and other non-americans) is the way republicans use the word socialism and/or liberal as a label/insult for their democratic opponents.

And as someone in the position to compare let me tell you what everyone in that position knows: Both the Democrats and the Republicans is far too the right compared to what is considered (electable non-nazi or racist) right wing parties in a majority of the countries in the rest of the world.

Some old Roman conqueror who's name escapes me right now once said something like: "One more victory like that and I'm lost". What you and your kind must understand is that the way you twist the value of old labels may win you the current presidental race, but it sure as hell is loosing you (the American culture that had a home free touchdown situation just ten years ago) the respect leading position in the rest of the world.

And, as an export-depending capitalistic economy that is catastrohpe, after all, you're only 300 million people out the the entire world population of 6 billion. That's about 5%, in the long run dependent on that the other 95% is interested in doing business with them out of free will.

Know 1 - Thank you. As you are probably aware, many Americans would like to have a President who is willing to listen to and work with the other nations of the world who crave true Peace & Prosperity. The current White House occupant is only able to win elections by using divisive tactics, gross distortions, scare tactics and outright lies. Even if I agreed with his policies (which I do not) I would find that more than a little sad and extremely distasteful. It annoys me no end when Bush makes speeches to the "world" that are really just campaign speeches he's spewing out to the many badly and sadly informed Americans who still consider him a viable President for some reason. It's going to be very close but I'm hoping we will be able to send him away on Election Day. I am very concerned, however, about all the ways in which HIS party may try to rig and/or manipulate the voting process - not to mention the distinct possibility of one or more State vote tallys ending up before this current Supreme Court - we already know how much integrity the 5-4 majority has with regard to the Voting Process and what we know is not encouraging in any way....Coral, I know there is no convincing you so...I will not try...
