Reply #10: I'm with you (and a lefty too) - I can't remember being this miserable.

It's like bush and his gang have done everything possible to destroy happiness in this country. They took steps to screw Iraq up - not securing borders or weapons depots, torturing prisoners, and so on. It would appear these were calculated to benefit their contractors and corporate sponsors (the oil/war machine in this country). And no one sees this.

I talk to my sister in Cinci and she's completely pissed off by the whole thing. My brother and my in-laws couldn't be happier. It's like the world has been turned on its ear and no one thinks anything is wrong with it.

I look at my kids and wonder what's going to happen to them in 10 years - are they going to be fighting in the Middle East or will we be living in Canada?

What really scares me is what's going to happen near the end of this term. Will we be attacked before the next election? Will bush stay in office as a war-time president? How long can this continue? Will Rick Santorum run as president in 08? It's like there's no light at the end of the tunnel.

Sorry if I brought you down, but you're not alone.
