Subject: Next President?
Lisa,
Thank you so much for keeping us sane thru the elections. I'm so very happy Diebold elected Dems after all!
My bet is John McCain will be the GOP pick. And Hillary is the GOP pick for the Democrats. I like Hillary but women are not held in high esteem in our crazy political world, so I'm unsure if she could be elected. What do you think? I want someone with deep experience in the military to get us out of this mess Bush made Who do you think will be the Democratic pick?

Wouldn't it be nice to have a president with an impressive resume instead of President Toga Party.
Wes Clark sure has an impressive resume. I highly recommend watching the video provided below this email. He reveals a lot of inside information about Wolfowitz and how the neocon lead-up to this war actually started in the early 1990s. It's a chilling seven minutes. CNN should be showing this
I admire Hillary. I was very disappointed she voted for the war, and I'm over it, because she was deceived along with the rest of us. Her Senate record is centrist. I also admire her for standing by her man. She loves Bill along with the rest of us.
Vice president Barack Obama has a nice ring to it, eh?

President Bush sounded semi-rational and connected with reality the morning after the election. It's amazing how a good spanking will focus the mind. - Zing!

Return to the Scene of the Crime
Imagine Osama bin Laden
visiting the United States ten or 15 years from now, telling Americans who to
vote for if they want to avoid getting hurt. It would never happen, but in
Nicaragua something very similar happened in the run-up to their election on
November 5.
Former U.S. Lt. Col. Oliver North, who helped organize and raise funds for a
terrorist organization that decimated Nicaragua in the 1980s,
returned to that country's ground zero in late October to warn the citizens
there against re-electing Daniel Ortega.

AHNC Trivia: Some Nicaraguan street sign language for Daniel Ortega is pointing to your wrist. The meaning being Ortega is not out in the jungle with the Sandinistas anymore but now has a passion for fine things such as Rolex watches.

"Donald Rumsfeld has been let go. Insiders describe Rumsfeld's reaction as shocked and awed. How does that make Rumsfeld feel when George Bush tells you you're not competent enough?." --Jay Leno
Torturous Repercussions
Just days after his resignation, former Defense Secretary Donald Rumsfeld is about to face more repercussions for his involvement in the troubled wars in Iraq and Afghanistan. New legal documents, to be filed next week with Germany's top prosecutor, will seek a criminal investigation and prosecution of Rumsfeld, along with Attorney General Alberto Gonzales, former CIA director George Tenet and other senior U.S. civilian and military officers, for their alleged roles in abuses committed at Iraq's Abu Ghraib prison and at the U.S. detention facility at Guantanamo Bay, Cuba.
