I'm beginning to think we're back in Alice-land. Everything means the opposite.

GWB - "I am a patient man!" "I want peace."

GHWB - "This is not about oil, it's about restoring democracy to Kuwait."

Etc.

GWB has outdone Clinton in raising money, the R's have something like 5 times the money the D's have, and conservatives are trying to claim the D's are the monied interests.

"The top 1% (rich) has as much after-tax income as the 100 million Americans with the lowest income, the Center on Budget and Policy Priorities reports. The top 1% already has nearly as much wealth as the bottom 95% of Americans combined. ... About 39 million Americans, including more than eight million children, have no health insurance of any kind - not private, not Medicaid, not anything. Lack of health insurance is associated with a 25% higher risk of death. Inadequate health insurance is one reason the United States ranks number 1 in the world in wealth, but only 32nd in child mortality under age five.

"Capitalism is the extraordinary belief that the nastiest of men, for the nastiest of reasons, will somehow work for the benefit of us all." -- Economist John Maynard Keynes
