The New Democratic Majority

I've been really busy with my work and band, but I've been trying to keep up with politics at the same time and I see hope with limits. First, the limits relate to money in politics. There has been so much money already in the 2008 campaign. It blows my fucking mind that candidates for the election in the 2008 election raised $20 million in the first quarter of 2007. How is that democratic? Most money came from fucking corporations that shouldn't have any rights to give money to campaigns outside the limits of the individuals. If they want to be considered individuals under the 14th amendment, they should be subject to the limits of individuals: $2,000 to a candidate per year.

Although the doom and gloom bullshit from the campaign finance front, we are moving towards a forced withdrawal from Iraq. First, we shouldn't have gone in. Second, we're in and we see a civil war so fucking get out. We need to send the U.N. in and get our troops out. Blue helmets will be able to do the job of peacekeeping better than we can (we should also get rid of Saudi Arabia, they're the source of Bin Laden and many people blowing up our troops in Iraq). We need to get Israel out of their 'occupied territories' (as they are recognized under international law). Get the division official agreed upon and minimize those that support terrorism. They do nothing valuable and destroy any promise that could come from the area. Anyone who blows themselves up for a cause represents a failed cause and anyone who then goes and destroys the area from which suicide bombers come just create new animosities. Extremists are the ROOT OF ALL HARM IN THE WORLD. Go for the Aristotilian mean instead...that is the path to peace.
