Reply #24: "I told you so." Is counter-productive

[jokerman93]

We only say "I told yu so." when we want to rub it in that we were right to begin with. I think most people make decisions based on the information they have. Being right about the Bushies doesn't make anyone smarter or morally superior.

Bush lied up and down about what he would do if elected president. Most "conservative" middle American's had no idea what they were getting, and it seems many of them aren't sure what they've got even now.

I say, it's our duty to educate the public as a dispassionate counterpose to the vast proaganda machine that's in place at the moment. None of us have any right to say "I told you so." Bush is in office and we are now embroiled in a vile, protracted, and pointless war that is bleeding our country's spirit away. Why? Because our representatives said little or nothing to oppose this fascist juggernaut that has decended.

I'm refering here to the Florida coup, the yielding of congressional war powers to the president, the passing of the Patriot Bill without debate...shall I go on?

I'm angry at most of our Democrat representation (with notable exceptions). But I'm also glad to see some American's have begun to wake from their stupor.

IMO, "I told you so." doen't belong in the discourse.

No offense intended to anyone. This is just an opinion piece.
