I've Got A Feeling That Terrorists Might Attack The World Trade Center Again

George W Bush, the doofusy son of a former one term president was inaugurated today, becoming our 43rd potus. In my opinion dark days are ahead of us. For the record I voted for the Green Party candidate, Ralph Nader. In my strong opinion, however, the election was stolen from the true winner, Al Gore. That the Supreme Court stopped the recount and handed the presidency to W is total bullshit. Unprecedented bullshit.

But now we are stuck with W for at least the next 4 years. I can't imagine him getting re-elected, however. He'll be another one term president like his father, mark my words. God, it sickens me that it isn't Al Gore who is being sworn in today. Sure, I'd have prefered a president Nader, but a president Gore would have been acceptable to me as well. Especially considering that Al Gore actually won the election!

But back to the dark days. The reason I say that I think terrorists might attack the World Trade Center in New York City again is because they've done it before. On 2/26/1993 a truck bomb was detonated below the North Tower, killing 6 people and injuring more than a 1,000. Those responsible had intended to bring down the entire structure and kill many more, however.

In my opinion the terrorists will probably try again, and the election of an incompetent CIC might be just the opportunity that our enemies have been waiting for. President Clinton, the traitor (AKA "New Democrat") who signed the NAFTA trade agreement, at least kept us safe. As you may recall, President Clinton attempted to take out bin Laden. Although the Republicans in Congress claimed that he did so only to distract from the Monica Lewinsky scandal.

I didn't vote for Clinton, instead casting my ballot for Perot in both 1992 and 1996. I was convinced that Perot had a better shot the second time, given the fact that Clinton went back on his word and signed the trade agreement that cost many American jobs, just as Perot warned us. Unfortunately Perot did even worse the 2nd time he ran.

But at least Clinton recognized the threat posed by bin Laden and his terrorist group. Will our new illegitimate president also take the bin Laden threat seriously? I doubt it. Actually, I've got a very bad feeling that the WTC (or some other high profile target) might get bombed again. And this time our enemies might kill many more Americans. We got lucky the fist time. Their plan was to kill thousands, but they only killed 6. We might not be so lucky the next time.

Al Gore Will Be Elected Our Next President

The results of the United State's 54th quadrennial presidential election will be known tomorrow. While I'm casting my ballot for Ralph Nader, my prediction is that Vice President Al Gore will ascend to the White House. Certainly the people are with him, given the popularity of Bill Clinton. Yeah, Clinton disappointed with his signing of the NAFTA trade agreement, but overall the WJC presidency was successful, I think.

Ralph Nader would make a much better president, IMO, but a Gore presidency? I think it could work out OK. Sure, a Gore presidency will not be as beneficial to our economic well-being as a Nader presidency, but it will be loads better than a W presidency (God forbid the electorate is dumb enough to elect this mouth-breather).

Ralph Nader's campaign issues, BTW, included universal healthcare, free education, and protecting American jobs by opposing globalization. As a resolute opponent of trade agreements such as GATT and NAFTA, President Nader would push for the replacement of these bad deals with open agreements that pull-up rather than pull down environmental, labor, and consumer standards.

So-called "free trade" enriches the transnational corporations at the expense of American jobs, harming our economy. President Gore will not roll back NAFTA or pull us out of the World Trade Organization. The exodus of good paying jobs from the US to 3rd world sweatshops will contiune under President Gore.

OK, so there probably are not enough voters out there as intelligent as myself to elect candidate Nader president tomorrow. But, on the other hand, the electorate surely is not dumb enough to send the bumbler George W to the White House. Of that I am 100 percent confident.
