We Fear for the Republic

So today is Primary Election day here in Pennsylvania and Lew dutifully went and Cast his Ballot.
Jan is registered as an Independent so she cannot vote in the Primary.






Lew Voted against another 100Yrs of War.

He Voted against
"the acquisition of unwarranted influence, whether sought or unsought, by the militaryindustrial complex"
(quoted from a speech given by President Dwight D Eisenhower in 1961)

He Voted against Jingoism.
(Politicians wearing little Chrome Flags in their lapels, for example)


Can you guess who Lew voted for??



But it will make no difference because this Fall other Americans will send McCain to the Whitehouse and the Feeding Frenzy of the "Defense Contractors" will be as never seen before. Re-instigation of the Military Draft will probably follow.

Perhaps the nation which so whole-heartedly Drank the Koolaid of the Bush/Cheney Lie (that Sadam had "WMD" and was gonna Gas America or Blow it Up) and made a War where there was none before deserves to send it's Sons and Daughters to die in the One Hundred Year's War that McCain might very easily Create??

But there should be a way to send those who will Vote for War this November to McCain's Front Line instead of the Grandchildren.
But there should be a way to send those who will Vote for War this November the Bill for Bush's War and for whatever turns out to be McCain's War instead of leaving this terrible Debt to our Grandchildren.
But that won't happen.


Remember that the Bad Old USSR failed not because Ronnie&The Pentagon beat them, but rather because they spent their nation's Resources on Military Toys and collapsed in exhaustion. We may do the same thing; break the Nation's Back and Heart over The Pentagon's never-sated Lust for Toys. Toys like "Star Wars".
