Chuck,
Have always been a fan of you and your movies! Thank you for the fine work you are doing. Sarah Palin is one of us (true American) and deserves to be in the white house. Again, thank you for your encouraging work!

It seems to me that McCains own Party maybe trying to hurt him by waiting until now to throw all of this out there. Him and Palin did threaten to attack the "Good Ole Boys Club" like she did in Alaska. They have to get there before they can do anything. It maybe that they are more worried about Palin then McCain since there are some in prison in Alaska because of her. If McCain and her will stand and really clean up DC I'd like to see them get there. Unfortunately since our Gov. and Media lie so much, I call half truths a lie, we don't know when they are telling us the truth. They are like the "Little Boy That Cried Wolf." This can be dangerous for them as well as us.

What a powerful metaphore... The OK Corral. Try to imagiine another one. Custers last stand. The government has given up all pretense of fair judgement, of the any hint that it will protect citizen from the excess of citizen. Watch how fast the people turn into a bunch of irrational screaming savages if this all goes broke. That will teach you some metaphores.Maybe like the reign of terror...Thanks...Sweeney

Re: Lola Mathuews;...Jeez lady, this whole country was built on a lie. We have deficit spending. Wouldn't it be better to tax and spend rather than borrow and spend? Or not spend, but then what power would government have to right injustice if it could not redistribute wealth to some extent???.. But when you redistribute wealth not by taxing wealth, but by inflation or by taxing income then you tax the poor to help the poor, or as so often happens, bt taxing the poor to help the rich. ..So, the deficit is a big lie. It says America can have justice on the cheap. it says we cannot have justice now unless the future pays for it. Remember: This country once taxed property for nearly its entire support and for that reason it gave property owners a greater stake in government...They have more  power, and less reponsibility for the cost of government, so, if they feel they want to start some foreign war, it is not them that bears the price in blood or treasure. If the rich bore the price of government they would make certain government acted responsibly. ...Now, look at what these deficits run up for the rich lead to.... The best example is the first example... President Jackson was the last president to pay off the national debt. He did this by breaking America's promise to the Native Americans; and he sold off all their land to the rich. The same thing happens today with oil fields, and broadcast airwaves, and every imaginable consession to the rich. It is our oil. It is our coal. It is our country, and if you watch you will see these rich buy back their own bad debt for pennies on the dollar. It is the peoples money that is loaned to the rich to loan to us. Why we put up with this non sense is a mystery...Thanks...Sweeney

Oh, and thanks Bush and fellow Republicans, for the socialist bailout bill. Perhaps more tax cuts for the rich will help.

The same thing is happening in the UK. Our 5th column government has pledged the equivalent of $US880,000,000,000 for this purpose, which is getting to be big money. Right now, we can't do anything to prevent this massive theft of taxpayers' money. We do have an alternative to vote for, though, the British National Party, which is gaining momentum at local levels and is determined to press on to national level in order to prevent the final destruction of this country at the hands of the 'old gang' parties, of which there are 3, which between them cover the nominal political spectrum of the GOP and the Democrats in the US. These 3, Conservative, Labour and Liberal-Democrat, are known as 'the 3-headed hydra.' It is regrettable that you don't seem to have a real alternative to your main two parties, both of which seem committed to selling the US 'down river,' which I understand to be a pre-Civil War expression and I think is accurate in the present circumstances, for both the US and the UK.
My understanding is that the US prospered greatly in the early part of the 20th century, with huge growth in mining, railroads, steelworks, oil refining and all aspects of heavy industry. The consequent but rapid acceleration of stock market speculation in the 1920s, however, far outstripped the capacity for even the US industry to keep pace with genuine economic growth. The crash of '29 was the inevitable outcome. What is alarming about the present crisis is that both the US and the UK have suffered serious industrial decline, depressing the scope for steady economic recovery further. The final outcome of the Great Depression years was WW2, which is also disconcerting in the present context.
