Reply #129: I just don't see that happening

Most of the people I know in my neighborhood for example haven't got a clue what Bush** is really doing. They don't like him or what he's got us into in Iraq, but they aren't aware of things like this, the underhanded, systematic unraveling of the government and Constitution that he and his cronies have been up to for years. And that's because the media doesn't cover these things properly, if at all, and because Congress hasn't called BushCo on these things in over six years, refusing even to call Bush** a liar about Iraq and WMD. As a result, most Americans give BushCo the benefit of the doubt. They'd never believe our government could go so awry without someone high profile saying something.

Americans have no impetus to protest. Most think the biggest problem is Iraq.

By the time enough people realize what's happened it'll be way too late. Heck, I think it's too late already for the reasons above.

But even if 10 million Americans swarmed DC, the press would under-report the numbers and focus on those who get themselves arrested, painting the whole thing as a product of the "extreme left" and making it easy for Bush** and the rest of the country to ignore. He doesn't care what Americans think anyway, he's made that plain.

That's why it's up to Congress to do something already.
