Thoughts & Quotes

What's been on my mind.

"Accustomed to trample on the rights of others, you have lost the genius of your own independence and become fit subjects for the first cunning tyrant who rises among you." Abraham Lincoln [1858]

"What luck for the rulers that men do not think." Adolf Hitler

Let's make em think. In 2000, just over 50% of the eligible voters, voted. In 2004, let's do everything we can to ensure that all of those eligible are both registered and then actually vote.........intellegently. If each registered voter, registered one person who wasn't and ensured they went to the polls we could have a real race that actually represented the true voice of the people.

Resources.
- Candidate and policy comparisons.
- All Candidates. Some more unique than others.


The Price of Purchase

Assume for a second, I'm an independent. The GOP needs to recruit my vote. What, really are they trying selling me? What's the primary attractor, based on the current administration's performance and focus? Economic improvement, Financial stability, Equality on all planes, International relations, Domestic confidence, Military strength, Assurance of health care and Job retention?

Today they're selling:

  • peace with war
  • security with fear
  • health with entitlements
  • savings with spending
  • patriotism with jingoism

Who's buying and why?
