Dead because of a lie. Dead because selfish people in government wanted a war and lied to get one. How can you not be angry?

In the heartland, anger that borders on rage
Factories have closed. Our manufacturing sector has disappeared. U.S. workers are shipping equipment and their jobs overseas and often to countries where workers are paid less and safety standards are nil.
So, fellow Americans, why was Sarah Palin smiling, and to whom was she winking when she said in St. Louis, “We’re gonna fight for the middle class, everyday American men and women”? And why did John McCain hit the campaign trail the next day talking about liberals vs. conservatives? The old labels don’t work when both liberals and conservatives are standing in the same unemployment lines.
Palin may not have blinked at the St. Louis debate, but all over the country, civil libertarians convulsed when she said, without being asked, that she intends to expand the executive powers of the vice presidency. This Dick Cheney in lipstick doesn’t want to be a Senate tiebreaker but would directly intervene in congressional affairs and significantly blur the lines between two key government pillars. (I’d like to give a “shout-out” to Ben Franklin, Tom Jefferson, James Madison and Tom Paine, who knew better.)
We’re still a great nation, but — gosh darn it! — what happened to us? I mean besides nearly eight years of Dubya and the possibility McCain-Palin could win this election.
Ever wondered what a pig in lipstick is? Check out the bailout plan that is the new “rescue plan.”

Hey - quite bothering me with questions and let me watch
webpattymy reality shows and Fox news to keep me informed.
And let the schools teach nothing and believe in the lies of our government because if we don't we're un patriotic and really a terrorist.
Everything we used to be!
justiceEverything we used to be has gone!
And part of that fault lays with US,for NOT doing anything to stop it!
All our heavy industry,of ANY WORTH and respect,HAS gone.
Our economy is in tatters for ALL but the top 20%.
That leaves 80 PER CENT of 300 million Americans in,or on the edge of,the junk yard.
I have never heard ANYONE from Congress(candidates included) mention the increasing amount of TENT-Cities,growing refugee camps,and people who have lost EVERYTHING(either because of hurricane,flood,or economic mishandling/neglect by our Government)and are already(in increasing numbers)living in their CARS/VEHICLES,IN CAR-PARKS!
As far as the Institute for 'Deregulated,ALL risk Government,Corporate US Treasury,Investments,shark- infested businesses and BAD BANKS',is concerned,they have JUST robbed us of another 1.5 trillion at least!
So they are OK temporarily!
Until they realise that we won't be SPENDING much over the next couple of years,as NEEDS must!
And won't be VOTING for anyones re-election who has let us down hard on this round,in favor of "BAILOUT" for the banks!
We,as consumers,are encouraging,and participating in SLAVE-LABOR(oh! sorry "free trade")overseas and treating OUR OWN working-class,trade,domestic,laborers the SAME here...like slaves!
Illegal immigration is just another 'convenient'form of slave-labor,exploiting poor and down-trodden,oppressed people,who seek some semblance of "freedom" from their own homelands.
So much for a mutual and respectful "Free Trade".
We have allowed them,to OUT-SOURCE our dignity,identity,strength and SOUL!
How can WE let it have gone SO FAR?
How can WE have allowed THEM to run amok with our Constitution,Bill of Rights and Civil Liberties?
It all comes down to us,doing SOMETHING instead of NOTHING!
Correct as usual
chillyphantomMost Americans are so wrapped up in their own little lives that they don't see the bigger picture that's right in front of their faces. In their own little minds, these people don't need to deal with the bigger picture, that's why they elect people - to deal with life's complexities so they can watch Survivor reruns shove fast food in their cake hole and chase it down with copious amounts of beer.
Yes, everything that made America famous is gone. I expect to start seeing apple pies with labels saying Made in Mexico or Made in China.
But there is one way to look at this situation. When Americans are unemployed they have even more time to watch reruns, eat fast food and slug back beers.
