Looking for someone else to cast the blame on (which is what this “war czar” business is) is a Bush administration speciality. It’s like when Condoleezza Rice suggested that what the USA needed was someone whose job it was to coordinate intel and present it to the president, at the time she held the job whose short but official job description was exactly that. And it tunrs out the Bush administration already set up a special war coordinator in 2003. The person’s name is Condoleezza Rice.

In spite of the constant assault on the constitution by the current administration I hear little outrage among the majority of people I know. Despite the fact that living in Boston, and not to mention that working in film and television, I am mainly surrounded by people who dislike Bush. It seems the pathetic racist ramblings of an old shock jock are much easier for most people to connect with.

What has to happen to wake up the plebiscite? We seem to be turning a blind eye to corruption and a deaf ear to torture. Of course I am part of the problem since I do not know what to do. There is ample evidence but many people seem so invested in not believing it, or are utterly ambivalent that each expose and documentary either falls on deaf ears or becomes preaching to the choir.

Are we waiting for a leader? Are we giving up on “We the people…?

(Sorry, Sunday-morning pronoun impairment. “Theirs” meaning the administration’s.)

…charges of voter fraud are a key component of the Republican electoral strategy.

See, this is where I think the Repug “strategery” will come back and bite them in the ass. The most egregious examples of electoral fraud of the last eight years were perpetrated against voters, by Republicans. Kathryn Harris’s trumped-up “felons list” and voter challenges at polling stations are just a couple of examples. The administration can waste all the tax dollars it wants, trying to prove that Dems are– what? failing to steal elections?– but they should understand that if any fraud is uncovered, it’ll be theirs.

Trouble is, the Democrats are not doing enough, fast enough, to clean this stuff up. I want Bush and Cheney impeached, I want them all out of there. I want my country back.

Maha,
Nixon was the ‘canary in the coal-mine.’ His administration proved to be the first Fascist/Theocratic exercise in “Limbo,” ‘How low can we go?’
Reagan and Bush I extended the lines drawn by Nixon. They did it with a smile on their face and American platitudes on their lips. And the American people bought the scam; hook, line and STINKER’S!
That’s how W. started off, trying to extend the lines even further. At some point, Cheney, and the rest of the lunatic’s decided, “Oh, what the Hell! In for a penny, in for a pound…” And, with the backing of the Republican Congress, decided that there were no more rules.
This country was built on rules. They broke them! Now, it’s time to break them. IMPEACH!!!
And the next canary we see carrying their canard, needs to be identified as such, fast! And we need to act even faster!!!

Worse? Nixon was a piker compared to this group. Bushits et al are simply the most destructive force ever against this country. They are ripping us apart, destroying the very ideas of liberty. Nixon was a joke compared to this group. KKKarl Rove is simply the worst american ever.

The Iraq adventure is only a “failure” if one assumes that its goals had anything to do with Iraq. In fact its sole purpose was to intensify the domestic factional conflict in the U.S. From that angle it has been a spectacular success.
