Rabble is a great website that I just stumbled on. Very informative.Let me join the fray... 1. If the Dems succeed in removing the Repubs from the White House in 2008 (with a resulting removal of Amerika from Iraq), do you feel that the kind of stuff happening in London will finally end? I'm skeptical but not sure. 2. Probably a more important question is: Do you think the Dems can take back the White House (and Congress, for that matter)? 3. Would you travel to London now (or even fly in or out of London)? Personally, I'd choose Paris. Thanks!

Maybe I can be of some help:1. If the Dems succeed in removing the Repubs from the White House in 2008 (with a resulting removal of Amerika from Iraq), do you feel that the kind of stuff happening in London will finally end? I'm skeptical but not sure. It may slow down a bit. But the question to ask is: If the Democrats win in 2008 will they pull out of Iraq? (Remember, John Kerry had said that he would NOT pull U.S. troops out of Iraq.)
2. Probably a more important question is: Do you think the Dems can take back the White House (and Congress, for that matter)?
It depends on the powers that be. The Democratic party and the Republican party are the same crooked branches on the same corporate tree. Big business likes working with the Democrates but WANTS to work with the Republican Party. If the mood is swinging towards the Democrats then they just might win. Don't expect things to get any better because they both support the war in Iraq and curtailing our civil liberties via the patriot act.
3. Would you travel to London now (or even fly in or out of London)? Personally, I'd choose Paris.
I am NOT going to be bullied by fear or intimidation. Not by the terrorists and certainly not governments that behave in a terrorist mannor. I will fly to both London and Parris although, because I don't know french, I think I will just fly to London.

Honestly, I don't know. quote:

If they nominate Russ Feingold, yes. Feingold is a liberal Midwestern Senator who just won re-election who's not afraid of being liberal. He's against NAFTA-type trade agreements, he voted against the war in Iraq, and he stood alone of all senators to vote against the Patriot Act. He'd be a very credible challenge to the Republicans. quote:

I just took a road trip into Winnipeg this past week. Far more dangerous that flying or being in London.

Hi, Sven,Welcome to Babble, and greetings from a fellow Midwesterner. We Dems must push the party leadership to live up to the ideals of peace and economic justice, and stop cowering in the center. Otherwise, it won't make as much difference as we would hope if a Dem wins in 2008. Are you active in your local DFL?
