I know many of you don't like it but in a democracy we vote.

(4,667 posts)the losers.. they all agree we will be, it seems, because our wages, to them all, "have to fall" - a lot.
They want to do this by throwing open services to international competition, with government procurement, work will go to the lowest bidding firms from all over the world, and their workers. US firms wont win those bids. So our own tax money will be flowing overseas in huge amounts unless our wages fall way way down.. I would be willing to bet that this happens within two or three years. they have been planning it for more than a decade.. You can read about it in dozens of world organizations.. for example, the WTO if you Google on "disciplines on domestic regulation"

Gore lost his home state of TN and refused to let Bill Clinton campaign for him in Arkansas and lost there too.
Gore ran a bad campaign. He has always taken the responsibility for that.

(12,081 posts)How many Senate, House, and governorships have we lost under the current leader of the Democratic Party? Is Nader to blame for all those losses as well? or is it just the voters fault for those losses? Anybody's fault but the party's right?

Boom! I send them off to the cornfield.
I'm starting to realize that life is too damn short.
P.S. I am a lifelong Democrat. But probably not for much longer. A pity my party has left me.
