Jet- Good to hear from you again- yes, a change will take a lot of people on both sides of the fence coming together to steer America back on course. Let’s see if we’re up to paying attention and acting.

Shea- Turn on the lights brother! This is bad, but it could still get worse.

Peter- You sure do seem to have an optimistic outlook for the GOP. I don’t think I can agree on all of your point, but of course. time will tell.
Truth is, we all need to use more common sense and find common ground to make things right. I know that all republicans don’t walk the Bush line 100% just as all democrats aren’t lock-step with that party line. It’s the independents who need to be heard to restore some sense of sanity along the way.
Thanks for dropping by.

John- The right knows plenty about repeating a falsehood long enough until it becomes truth. At the very least, that is like the pot calling the kettle black.

However, cutting tax rates for the top income brackets, killing the tax on dividends, slashing education funding, supporting outsourcing of jobs, rescinding prevailing wages laws in LA rebuilding, promoting illegal immigration…

I could find ample support for all of those statements as easily as anyone else could.

Scott- Energy plan? You mean attack oil rich countries and funnel tax breaks to the energy companies? Yeah, that’s a great plan, isn’t it. Thanks for the comment.

Jessica- Yes…let’s. Happy New Year.

I just blogged about how China will continue to compete with the U.S. for energy resources. You can read it at

This administration “has sacrificed the future opportunities of the poor and middle classes while helping the rich get richer for the sake of being richer, and distorted the rule of law as suits their whim. ”

This is one of those flasehoods that is routinely disseminated on the Left.

Have you ever tried to support this kind of information with the Census?

If you repeat a falsehood enough, it may yet become truth in your head, but it is still wrong.

Stop by my blog for a view of 2005 from the OTHER side of the aisle.

My biggest hope is that we can learn to agree to disagree about some things, and make progress on others.

Anyway, I think that the period of 2000-2005 has been a dark period in America’s history. Here’s hoping the second half of this decade will bring improvement in many ways.

Good brain food, as usual. 2006 will only we a turning point if enough citizens are disgusted enough to actually participate. Sound bite mentality is killing America.

I’ve sent you an email.

Chandira- We could all do more than we are, and it will take more real action to help make a change. Let’s see if we are up to the task in the year ahead. Happy New Year to you too!

Jolly- I hear you man. We need to get people to reengage the political system. Get out there and yell this year!
Good to hear from you as always.

Toniyah- Thanks for the support, and it will please you to know that I am working on putting out a book. You can help too…just send people over to Common Sense and have them spread the word.

Good luck to you in the new year.

KWW- Yes, we do have much work to do if we are to reclaim this country for the average person. I hope that 2006 will be a turning point for our country. Glad to hear from you again.

Me4- Not to lose big…what a strategy. Or…lie your ass off and spread fear.

Seems that we could do better. I know we deserve better. Thanks for the thoughts.

Windspike- Good to hear from you man. Since there are literally no independents in federal office, anti-incumbent to pro-independent has much the same result if successful. Happy New Year to you and yours, and I hope to meet your expectations in the coming months ahead.

Anon- Sorry folks…Wallyworld is closed.

Minimally, that could served to put real people back in charge of our government rather than leaving it to the insanely wealthy.

Looks like this is your traditional lead in to a whole wonderful round of blog posts – Blog on brother, and happy new year.
