Unclogging the System

My preference would be for questions that clear the air of accumulated hypocrisy that has clogged the political system for decades.

1. Both parties have had to placate the South's racist history and tiptoe around continued de facto segregation. Are you ready to lead a second civil rights movement that would accomplish something close to real racial equality in this country?

2. It is no secret that Christian fundamentalists have held the Republican Party hostage and caused a sharp decline in Democratic popularity. Do they deserve to have such lopsided power, and if not, what would you do about it?

Both questions are so loaded with their own notion of rightness that they barely qualify as questions. If you want to state your opinions, Deepak, just go ahead and state them. But don't pretend to us that you're asking any kind of useful question here.

In case you haven't notice deep one, there is a black guy running for president this time around exactly much more equal would you like it to be?

Russian, and or together with China [After Olympics] Will Deploy Their Patriot Missles on Venezuala & or in Cuba, like America did today with Poland!

From info & belief, someone said that Russia, China & Iran say that the American Evangelical Christian Right, Middle & Left via the Republican Party, and via Lame-Dick Prez G.W. pushy BUSHy [thinks he et al, can get away with Murder?] & Chanee, is

threatening the 'Soverignty' of both RUSSiA's close ally CUBA & VENEZUALA! And

Both Sovereign Nationals are asking 'For-Protection' in light of what happened in Poland & Georgia recently.

Hence, a Good Reason for Russia to Claim , similar to the Americans exuses , to set-up a 'Missle-Shield" in the America's on both Cuba & Venezual, not just the CAUCUS's , but near here too!


Russia sais, The 21st Century & beyond will be a two-way street" and It will never honor any 'Monroe Doctrine' , since America, does not honor the 'Gorbachev Doctrine'!

Russia says, "Two can play the same Game! And maybe America George Bush can tell a small nuke nation like Pakistan that "I Will Blow-You Up back to the 'Stone-Ages'" [similar implied] , but

but America cannot talk like that to Russia nor China!

"questions that clear the air"

Always respectfully, Deepak, this tactic of expecting cleansing answers to crucial questions seems awfully naive. We know from experience that people in power simply lie or obfuscate in order to keep things the way they are.
