The economy falters.
A Republican is in the presidency (illegitimately).
What happens next?

that he or she is simply not GW Bush?  
Are your feelings really that simple?
A blog post at the NY Times asserted that Hillary Clinton's vote to empower the current usurping president to go to war has caused trouble in her campaign.
She never voted for war.  
Congress never declared war.
Yet, their approval of the resolution is inextricably linked with the war and all its attendant crimes and losses.
Here is her response to the concern.

other nations behave or misbehave.  
I've just been listening to the Iowa debate that happened this week, and there was a word often repeated in the discussions of foreign policy.
That word was "behavior."
It was used by nearly every participant except two, Joe Biden & Dennis Kucinich.

This is only a discussion of material from the 11/15/07 debate.
From the debate transcript

BLITZER: You say national security is more important than human rights. Senator Clinton, what do you say?

CLINTON: I agree with that completely. The first obligation of the president of the United States is to protect and defend the United States of America. That doesn't mean that it is to the exclusion of other interests.

And there's absolutely a connection between a democratic regime and heightened security for the United States. That's what's so tragic about this situation. After 9/11, President Bush had a chance to chart a different course, both in Pakistan and in Afghanistan, and could have been very clear about what our expectations were.

Maybe something's going down, maybe it's not.  
I was looking over Google News this morning.
The headlines are as follows:

US diplomat Negroponte to visit Pakistan

The Race to Be the Un-Hillary

Fred Thompson keeps nose to Iowa grind

Sticky issues for Coast Guard

Rudy Giuliani advisers focus on later, delegate-rich states

And then, there's this:

the nation's highest civilian honor, has been awarded to two foreigners.
The Liberian president and a Cuban dissident have earned the recognition of G.W. Bush.  

There has been a spate of wind here for the past two days.  It blows so hard that it rattles the windows, and in the case of my apartment, it often comes right through.  The best source of heat in such a storm is an electric blanket, and I'm very grateful that I've got one.  

It's hard not to feel overwhelmed with the sheer number of repressive things this government manages to get done within such a short space of time.  I just have to hand the direction prize to the neocons.  They may be morally idiotic, but they certainly apply themselves completely to their roles as criminals.

Let me tell you my story.
I'm both disabled and a widow.  I did not choose either of these conditions in my life, they just arose over time.  When my husband died in 2000, I had just finished a degree in community college for transfer.  As an undergraduate for the last four years, I've been living on Social Security survivor and disability benefits by way of SSI.  I was covered for health by Medicaid, as were all my children.  The money was tight, the time was busy, and not everyone was happy with the arrangement (I'm speaking about my daughter's adjustment primarily), but we managed.  This coming autumn, though, it looks like I'll be earning just enough money to support myself.

Those who have pirated the ship of state away from the people hate humanity.
They hate their own humanity secretly, and they hate the humanity of everyone beyond them overtly.
Poverty will be the scalding fountain that drives the evil from the good, that will force the majority to fight the regime existing now.  Poverty will force people to face the truth; their leaders do not represent their interests.
