But I could be wrong....
I don't mean to sound disrespectful, but I couldn't disagree with this more. To take a line from a John Lennon song 'Everybody's talkin, no one hears a word." There are plenty people talking and we're only exposed or listening to a few.Happiness is only real when shared0 -

Fk I could care less what Ted Nugent says.........but that isn't the same as some that criticize Ed for pulling in a different direction.
Please though remember not to cast us all in one stroke as you did in this post....alot of "Amercians" do get it...(-:
No offence, but I think you mis-interpreted my post. The "Americans" that were being referred too were those that had achieved some kind of fame or celebrity and were then berated for using that celebrity to speak out on various causes or issues. One would hope that people would take the time to think about and question what celebrities are espousing, whether gun control, psychiatry, pro-activ or politics, and come to their own informed opinion, but then again, maybe for some people that's too much work. Regardless, I think that you and I are both on the same page.

Obama is a fucking warmonger too!! don't get it twisted,he is no different from any of the other shills (McCain,Bill-ary etc.)
So...he didn't speak out against the war? Those rally's never took place?
Obama may very well be a shill (your word...not mine)...but he is the least contaminated shill in the race.
BTW...President's are just human's...the question is...which one can I trust to be the most honest with me."Had my eyes peeled both wide open, and I got a glimpse...of my innocense, got back my inner sence, baby got it...still got it"0 -

I went to Toronto and heard him say "the government is trumping up charges on Iraq in order to invade" (or pretty close to this...need to listen to the boot) and GUESS WHAT he was right. And yes this was before we invaded....course anyone with half sense realized this was the case.
So what you're saying is that Ed is just holding back on the endorsing cuz he's planning to throw his hat into the ring and run as an indepenent on judgement?
The whole world will be different soon, the whole world will be relieved...
Print that on posters and he's good to goWell, do you need a lot of what you've got to survive?0 -

Man if people really think Bush being gone is the salvation to all our problems this country is REALLY REALLY FUCKED.
Ya'll better wake up and realize that any of the Three Devils: Obama, Hillary or McCain are ALL going to screw us really really hard, sell America down river, leave the borders open, keep us at war with someone, keep the corporations in control, strip us of as many liberties as possible, and keep the peolpe in debt.
This isn't about some stupid Left vs Right FALSE PARADIGM.
This is about an entire political system that has left the hands of the people and is controled by and for the elite.

If I opened it now would you not understand?0
