Hi Mac,

If Bush wins, you might add to the list of contributing factors: 1)
Clinton's incessant Blow Jobs in the "O[r]al Office"; a significant number
of  pampered, self-indulgent, selfish, bigoted, ignorant, national
chauvinist and triumphantalist electorate; the whore media bent on ongoing
access ( the price of which is not asking any real questions about anything
real)to get their "scoops", in order to get their exposure, in order to
build their names and reps (ratings), in order to get more extensive and
ongoing access, in order to...; big money rigging the narrow "menu" from
which the electorate make their "choices"; a failed educational system that
teaches nothing about the real world, critical thinking, real issues etc;
whore academics doing their own faustian bargains--spinning and meaningless
"scholarship"--for promotions and tenure; reformist liberals, so "proud" of
their "caring" as they presecribe aspirins for cancers and join the
"conservatives" in denouncing and marginalizing the left (or what is left of
it); an electoral system designed to favor big money, the rich and key
constituencies in key states; etc etc. etc.
