Leaders from Hell. We all know a few from the past and how their
people suffered. From a few screwballs in Rome to Idi Amin, Stalin, Hitler, etc etc.

The question is how these guys managed to get into power and how they kept the power until the "Fall" or natural death. How is it the PEOPLE were powerless to overcome a "Lemon Leader".

The French did it with Louie and Anoinette.

George Washington did it.

And another question, Who is in charge that these kinds of Lemons never reach our White House?? Were we voters too complacent? Were we snookered? Is it too late?

Arrrgh, the Lemons persist.

Come, we go resist.

6. His Pub Masters are in a tizzy tho. They picked Bush but never
once thought of him as a BIMBO.... Now they found out what Gov. Ann Richards was saying is true.... the man is 4 quarts low in the crankcase.

A Fifth Grader in charge of the Nation, how strange we live.

7. Ann Richards knows a Texas Tick Turd when she sees one!
She knew he didn't have both oars in the water but NOOOOOOO people wouldn't listen to her! I just heard on CNN that Bush's ass kissers in congress were tired of his unthrifty shit! A falling out among common thieves! I hope the dumb bastards that voted for Bush starve to death and then some really bad shit happens to them! We may need to start another CURSE thread somewhere!

3. Dear Opi,
Edited on Thu Jan-29-04 12:31 PM by Cleita
Until we get true democracy, lemons will be able to gain power because they exploit the loopholes in our system. I would like to get rid of the electoral college myself in favor of a runoff system of voting.

I also would prefer that candidates be government funded for their campaigns, so that they don't have to accept special interest money. It has been tried in state elections, I believe in Maine and parts of California, and it worked very well.

This would be a start and there are many other ways too that I'm sure
others will suggest. I prefer my lemons squeezed over fish.

5. Lemons over Fish instead of Lemons in the White House
Sending Tons of Roses and Caviar with Fine Wine.

You would think if we can get a man to the Moon, we can figure out a better Pol system. But we reject the notion only because the status quo is preferred by the ruling class.

Come, time to smile :D

8. Too bad.
Is it the devil I know syndrome that we are hesitant to correct a corrupt system?

9. It is percieved that its not in the Ruling Class best interest that
we undergo a system change. Those wimps are too scared of change prefering to stick with Status Quo(They wish to stay in power and rich too.)

It could ne so nice for everyone but the rich stifle progress.
