Ο Ρέιγκαν στα απομνημονεύματά του γράφει ότι όταν ήταν πρόεδρος, τον επισκέφτηκε μια μέρα ο πατέρας Μπους και του είπε: «Ρόναλντ, έχω ένα γυιό που από μικρός ήταν προβληματικός. Τώρα έχει φτάσει 40 χρονών και είναι τελείως άχρηστος. Δεν είναι ικανός για τίποτα. Δεν ξέρω τι να κάνω μ’ αυτόν.» Ο πατέρας Μπους αναφερόταν στον σημερινό πρόεδρο των ΗΠΑ. Αν είχε φροντίσει όμως να τον κλείσει σ’ ένα ίδρυμα, και ο γυιός του θα περνούσε καλύτερα, όμοιος μεταξύ ομοίων, και ο κόσμος όλος θα ήταν σήμερα καλύτερα.

ΣΑΣ ΟΙΚΤΗΡΩ. Ο ΓΙΩΡΓΟΣ ΕΙΝΑΙ ΕΝΑΣ ΑΠΟ ΤΟΥΣ ΠΙΟ ΧΑΡΙΣΜΑΤΙΚΟΥΣ ΠΟΛΙΤΙΚΟΥΣ.

Διασταυρώνετε καθόλου το κάθε σκουπίδι που βρίσκετε στο ίντερνετ ή απλά το δημοσιεύετε; Μου πήρε 5 λεπτά το πολύ για να βρω ότι αυτό είναι φάρσα. Το να δημοσιεύετε ότι να ναι δεν είναι σοβαρή δημοσιογραφία.

swell,είσαι πραγματικά σκουπίδι,μεταφράζεις (του κώλου μετάφραση)το σατυρικό κείμενο ενός Δημοκρατικού και το παρουσιάζεις σαν ιστορικό γεγονός.Που να ξέρουν απο μηχανές αναζήτησης και Αγγλικά οι φτωχομπινέδες Ελληνες,ε κουτοπόνηρε swell?
ΑπάντησηΔιαγραφήswell κι αν αληθεύει αυτό που λες, επιβεβαιώνει ότι οι διαπλεκόμενοι της Αμερικής έψαχναν να βρουν έναν ηλίθιο να τον κάνουν πρόεδρο. Λες να ήταν ο μοναδικός του είδους ο γιος Μπους; Θα έβρισκαν κάποιον άλλον να βάλουν στη θέση του! Ή νομίζεις ότι αυτός ο βλάκας αποφασίζει για την πολιτική της χώρας του;
ΑπάντησηΔιαγραφήΚαι μη νομίζεις, αυτοί που οργάνωσαν και υλοποιούν τον πόλεμο στο Ιράκ είναι κερδισμένοι, δεν θα χάσουν με τίποτα. Ούτε να φανταστείς ότι αυτοί ή τα παιδιά τους πολεμάνε εκεί! Η Αμερική χάνει, ο (φτωχότερος) λαός χάνει, αλλά όχι οι εταιρίες και τα στελέχη που υλοποιούν τον πόλεμο.
ΕΡΩΤΗΜΑ
ΑπάντησηΔιαγραφήΤελικα τι ειχαμε , ΔΕΞΙΑ ΠΑΡΕΝΘΕΣΗ
η ΠΡΑΣΙΝΗ (και μαλιστα αθλια) ΙΣΤΟΡΙΚΗ ΥΠΟΣΗΜΕΙΩΣΗ ???
Αυτο πιστευω οτι ειναι το κυριαρχο
ερωτημα και οχι ποιος τελικα θα
επικρατησει στο ΠΑΣΟΚ.
Κατα τη γνωμη μου, τι ΓΑΠ τι ΒΕΝΙ-
ΖΕΛΟΣ , μπρος γκρεμος και πισω ρεμα. Συγκεκριμενα οι ικανοτητες &
το πολιτικο μεγεθος του ΓΑΠ, εμε-
τρηθησαν και ευρεθησαν απελπιστικα
λειψα.
Οσον αναφορα τον πραγματικα χαρι-σματικο Βενιζελο , καταφερε κατα
την γνωμη μου, μεσα σε μικρο χρο-
νικο διαστημα και σε διαχειριση
κρισεως (τετοια εχουμε στο ΠΑΣΟΚ
αυτες τις μερες), να δειξει μερι-
κες πολυ ασχημες πλευρες του χαρα-
κτηρα του, οι οποιες απωθουν και
φοβιζουν τον μεσαιο χωρο.
Εχω την εντυπωση , εκτος των αντι-
κειμενικων μειονεκτηματων του π.χ.
εκτος Ελλαδος δεν τον ξερει ουτε η
μανα του, οτι συντομα θα αποδειχθει
ως ο πιο αμφιλεγομενος πολιτικος
αρχηγος.
Το δε μεγαλο σφαλμα που εχει πεσει
ειναι το γεγονος οτι δεν μιλαει
γενικα στο λαο, αλλο μονοδιαστατα
στη λαικη βαση του ΠΑΣΟΚ.
Ειναι τετοιο κτηνος αυτολιβανι-σματος που δεν του μενει μυαλο να
καταλαβει το ολοφανερο, ποιο? το
γεγονος οτι το ΠΑΣΟΚ ΠΑΣΟΚ εξακο-
λουθει να φοβιζει μεγαλο κοματι
της κρισιμης εκλογικης μαζας.
Αυτες οι εκλογες του 2000 σε συνδι-ασμο με το στησιμο στο ΧΑΑ αποδει-
χθεισαν πιο επαχθεις απο τις εκλο-
γες βιας και νοθειας του 61 για την
δεξια.
Εκεινο το πραγματικα αποτελεσματικο
Ο ΛΑΟΣ ΔΕΝ ΞΕΧΝΑ ΤΙ ΣΗΜΑΙΝΕΙ ΔΕΞΙΑ
θα φανταζει πολυ λιγο μπρος στο Ο
ΛΑΟΣ ΔΕΝ ΞΕΧΝΑ ΤΙ ΣΗΜΑΙΝΕΙ ΔΙΠΛΗ
ΚΛΕΨΙΑ (2000 και ψηφος και οικονο-
μιες).
Ο Καραμανλης περα απο τις αναμφι-
σβητιμες ικανοτητες του, ειναι και
πολυ τυχερος. Μονο ο Χρυσοχοιδης η
η Διαμαντοπουλου (πιο πολυ ο πρωτος) εχουν τα προσοντα να τον
στριμωξουν.
Πιστευω οτι τον Βενιζελο θα τον κα-
θαρισει σαν αυγο πολυ βρασμενο.
Ερωτημα 1ον, τι θα κανει ο Βενιζε-
λος με τον εκτελεστικο νομο του
δικου του Συνταγματος, οσον αναφορα
την ψηφο των Ελληνων μεταναστων ?
( Θελει 180 ψηφους για να περασει)
Να πει ναι , το ισοζυγιο αυτων των
ψηφων παραγερνει προς την κεντοδε-
ξια, να πει οχι, τοτε ειναι που θα
γειρει πιο πολυ. Οι αερογεφυρες
στηνονται ευκολα, και δεν κοστιζουν
και πολυ. Εδω στηθηκανε το 2000 απο
τα βαθη της τεως ΕΣΣΔ και μεσω Κυ-
πρου, οχι απ ευθειας.
Ερωτημα 2ο αρθρο 16. Υπαρχει περι-πτωση Ευρωπαιος ηγετης,κεντροδεξιος
η κεντροαριστερος να τον παρει στα
σοβαρα αν επιμενει σε αυτον τον
σταλινικο αναχρονισμο ?? Τετοια θεση δεν πιστευω να εχουν ουτε τα
υπο τον Φατος Νανο Αλβανοι πρωην
πνευματικα τεκνα του Εμβερ Χοτζα
και του Αλια.
Ερωτημα 3ο. Με ποιο τροπο θα πεισει
την κοινωνια οτι δεν ειναι η Φιλι-
πινεζα της διαπλοκης. Ποιας διαπλο-κης ? αυτης που καθε μερα που περ-
ναει ο λαος την γραφει ολο και πιο πολυ εκει που δεν περναει μελανι. Γιατι αν δεν την εγραφε , ο Καρα-
μανλης ουτε τον θριαμβο του 04 θα
ειχε πετυχει, ουτε την καθαρη νικη
του 07.
Το ποσο γιουσουφακι το επαιξε με
τον βασικο μετοχο θα του το λεει
ο Τζουμακας, ο μισος Συνασπισμος,
ολο το ΚΚΕ , και ολοι οι Αριστεροι
Πατριωτες (Ζουραρις, Καραμπελιας,
κλπ).
Δυσκολος εως αυτοκτονικος ο δρομος
για τον Βαγγελη.
