1 Million ways to die... Bush Republicans are still cowards!

Our priorities are all wrong (from Wired News):

In fact, your appendix is more likely to kill you than al-Qaida is.

With that in mind, here's a handy ranking of the various dangers confronting America, based on the number of mortalities in each category throughout the 11-year period spanning 1995 through 2005 (extrapolated from best available data).

Driving off the road: 254,419
Falling: 146,542
Accidental poisoning: 140,327
H I G H
Dying from work: 59,730
Walking down the street: 52,000.
Accidentally drowning: 38,302
E L E V A T E D
Killed by the flu: 19,415
Dying from a hernia: 16,742
G U A R D E D
Accidental firing of a gun: 8,536
Electrocution: 5,171

Also check out this great quote that derails George W. Bush's bullshit 9/11 speech this week:
"If the war on terror is really a "struggle for civilization" itself, as President Bush claimed last night, why do we have just 130,000 troops in Iraq?

"You would think that if America were really engaged in such an epic battle -- 'for all the marbles,' as one friend paraphrased it -- we would put up a bigger fight."

- Taegan Goddard, Political Wire


November 7th, don't vote our of fear, vote out of principal. Remove the fearful, dishonest, coward-ass war profiteers in the Republican party. Vote Democrat, Libertarian, Green, whatever... just make sure the Republicans loose their power!

I would begin voting today and vote every day until 08 if they would let me. These last six years have ruined our reputation all around the world and that is a freakin' disgusting shame.

Why do all the critics have to be anonymous?

Anyhow, the Islamic fanatics are NOT attacking switzerland, Brazil, Colombia, New Zealand, Fiji, Cuba, Bahamas, etc. etc. etc....

The foreign policy for the last 40+ years has been pissing off half the world and pushing fanatics to aim their efforts at the USA. This federal government is in the pocket of the Military Industrial complex, a great REPUBLICAN president (Ike) even warned us about it.

This never ending "war on terror" is being used as an excuse to violate the civil liberties our founding fathers fought to secure for us in the ratification of the Constitution and the Bill of Rights. You prefer war over liberty, death over rational thought. Your attitute will keep us in war and will keep the radical cave-shitting bastards in the business of attacking us.

Wake UP!
