My next door neighbor said it would take Americans 8 years to figure out that the Bushboys and the Cheney cabal were taking this Country in the wrong direction. He said that right after GWB was elected to his first term. He commented that “by the time Americans figure out what’s going on, Bush will have taken this Country so far to that right that it probably will never get back on track.”
Pretty astute projection on his part, wouldn’t you say?

So far to the right, that we’ll never recover…….
It’s official. Fascism is here for a while. In the Sacramento region, a liberal one, it’s been confirmed that the ratio of conservative radio hosts to liberal ones is 264-0. ONCE AGAIN, THAT’S 264 TO ZERO!
No, the liberals did not quit, relocate, or take other positions. They were REPLACED by christian rock radio and other forms of entertainment.
It’s time to realize it: We’ve been hijacked.

How much dissaproval does the democratic leadership in congress need before getting the balls necessary to start impeachment.
They say they don’t have the support in congress from the minority and it would be too dificult… however they are here to serve the people, not their own political interest and how they might be seen if they go ahead with it. They should be more concerned with how that 82% of the public will react in the next election when they realize the democratic party was unable to act on the wishes of 82% of the population… this may be the right time for a viable third party to arise and say goodbye to the absurdities of the past.

The democrats barely have a majority to pass even the most uncontroversial bills. Republicans are filibustering everything they can, the president is still issuing signing statements to overrule laws and claiming state-secrets on the issues he would be impeached for. Republicans thugs have taken hold of this country and there’s very little the democrats in congress can do – so impeachment is not going to happen, and we can’t really blame the democrats for not bringing it up.

the republicans react to polls and perceived public opinion, particularly when it turns against them in such a way that they see their ownership of local, county, state and national positions of government.
I’ve been watching episodes of frontline where there is ample evidence of their misdeeds as well as testimony from others who were involved or had deep knowledge of the events.
The justice department may be controlled by crooks at the moment, but there are enough patriots still to get them to do a thorough investigation… otherwise, the divisiveness may tear the country appart.
I mean, look how unpatriotic the republican party is… they hate the idea of democracy, this is evidenced by their totalitatian control of their members and the restrictive laws they pass, even in their desire to get involved in the lives of private citizens in order to gain a perceived political victory for themselves. They have no empathy for others, contrary to all that america stands for. They lie constantly, giving dissinformation, misleading information, outright lies and in some respects improbabilities bordering on the absurd as response to questions on important issues. They refuse to take responsability for their actions.
Look, I don’t think the entire party has been corrupted and infiltrated by the most evil of sentiments, greed and lust. But it seems obvious that the leadership has embraced those evils wholehartedly and they care not about anything other than funneling more of the trasury to their friends and party in order to remain in control and exploit the population for their own selfish needs.

David… regarding your neighbor… I myself predicted GWB to be the worst president ever in our country’s history. Nothing astute about it, I just remembered how terrible his father was and I know the apples never fall far from the trees. Just imagine, 4 to 8 years from now, we may have Jeb to “vote” for to ‘fix’ the country AGAIN.
Too bad Ron Paul didn’t get any real airtime or actual media attention. (He’s technically still running, btw) People moan and groan about change, yet when someone voices actual “change” no one listens. Mention his name to a few people and I bet a majority of them say, “Who’s he?”

Forgive me, I am not such a great fan of George Senior, however he did have more intelligence and pragmatism than his son,… or perhaps the ability to act upon the intelligence, rather than nitpick it in order to support their case. George senior understood the dangers of going all the way to Baghdad, they are the same dangers that existed in 2003 and Bushney ignored in their push to secure the US treasury for their friends at halliburton, big oil, blackwater…etc etc.
Bush senior understood the dangers of thinking strictly from the political bone rather than the mind. Even though Junior’s team is composed of mostly members of that administration that saw the writings on the wall, they now chose to whitewash the wall and damn all warnings and go in anyway. They set aside all the plans laid out by the military and micromanaged the conflict from their political, business-trained minds, to such an extent that they were outrunning their supply lines. A blunder that military officers would be court martialed for due to professional negligence. The military does not take kindly to politicians placing their members at undue risk, although they will carry out unlawful orders dutifully when instructed to do so.
So, I cannot place blame or praise on one man… I know that it takes a team to steer the ship, be it well or poorly, and the captain is responsible for plotting the course and making the difficult decisions, because he is burdened with the responsability of the outcomes of those decisions. You might say that in this case, the captain willingly allowed a mutinous crew to take control of his duties, and you’d be right. But that doesn’t absolve him or any of the countless others who had the duty to sound the alarm that the ship was heading towards an iceberg and chose not to do so.
Like all the other decisions coming out of this administration, the decision to go to war was made from a political consideration. The conduct of the war was carried out from a political perspective. The way moneys have been allocated where decided with a political ends in mind. Just like the National institues of science was politicized, the FCC was politicized, FEMA was politicized and worst of all, our justice system, up to the level of JoSC has also been politicized to a level from which we may never recover.
What was the purpose in this?…
To help the republican party gain more power and influence, to divide and conquer, regardless if those you are divinding and conquering are your own compatriots… that to me is the definition of treason, and no amount of pleading by the traitor that he is a patriot will convince me otherwise. If you allow yourself to accept this lie, then you are no patriot either.
Good Day!!
