2. OK, start at the top
1) "Did elements in the Bush administration actively encourage 9/11?"
Possibly but I doubt it. More likely, the conspiracy (and 9/11 WAS a conspiracy however ones looks at it) was cooked up independantly. Certainly, the Bush Admin did nothing to prevent it and exploited it mercilessly.

2) "Has America's foreign policy been taken hostage by another country? Specifically, has the Lukid Party become the true control center of the United States of America? It's now self evident to barnyard animals that the neocon lobby isn't lobbying for the well being and national security of OUR country."
Debateable. Certainly, the US has generally been very pro-Israel in recent years. Granted also that certain members of the Bush Admin are fiercly Zionist (calm down kids, I am pro-Israel generally but, to quote the late Molly Ivins, "suggesting that certain officials may have done things for Israel's benefit is not to promote the Protocols of Zion"). Again, I think it's far more likely that there is a common goal (although for very different reasons) than any actual collusion.

3) "Is George Bush deliberately trying to kill our one and only planet Earth to "speed up" his pathological, Armageddon death wish?"
Quite possibly. It's also likely that Bush simply doesn't care either way. As he said himself, "we'll all be dead".

4) "Why did only high profile Democrats receive anthrax in the mail and what are the true circumstances of the tragic death of courageous Senator Paul Wellstone?"
The anthrax was obviously mailed by a Repuglican. Whether that indicates a conspiracy, there's no evidence for that. Likewise, although mercilessly exploited, I'm not aware of any evidence that Paul Wellstone's death was anything other than a tragic accident.

5) "And just what funny business is going on between George W. Bush and Osama bin Laden?"
I'm not sure there's anything between Bush and Osama but the Bush and Bin Laden families have been close friends and frequent business partners for years. Your guess is as good as mine on what that's all about.

6) "Have the Republicans factually stolen the last two Presidential elections (plus several 2002 midterm elections) with corrupt voting machines and illegal dem/progressive voter-trashing tricks? In short, is the Bush/Republican administration systematically (and rapidly!) murdering our Constitutional Republic, which is based on free and fair elections?"
Yes and yes. Next question?

7) "Is our country, after all, a mere a Dictatorship of the Rich?"
Absolutely and has been for much of the last quarter century.

8) "How much of the 20th Century Nazi Party is still alive and well in the sewers of the Bush/Republican Party?"
I doubt there's very many Nazis who were actually in WWII left. Even if they managed to escapse capture or were smuggled into the US by Paperclip, they'd likely be somewhere in their nineties by now and probably dead. Do the neocons and fascists share a certain mindset? Absolutely but that doesn't necessarily indicate collusion.

9) "Once and for all, who are dem centrists like Hillary Clinton really answering to?"
The mention of Jesus was gratuitous. Depends on teh individual politico. Some are interested purely in personal power which they may or may not intend to use for the public good. Some genuinely believe that their way is either the best way or the only politically achievable way.

10) "And lastly, for a little comic/serious relief, what's the story about Judas Joe Lieberman?"
Partly, it's power. Lieberman is now a very politically powerful man. Equally, it's the story of one man drifting to the right at a much faster rate than the rest of his party, Zell Miller with better manners. Finally, it's pride. Joe feels he is entitled to his position in Congress, no matter how the Dem primary voters feel.
