all the shit of this administration needs to be front and center for the rest of the year. let them scream about it. big shit. arrest them if they won't respond to subpoenas. the democrats need to play hardball. hearings are possible, even if impeachment does not occur. just ask the republicans. remember Clinton's years of harassment? The dems have to do this. In fact, they need to leak some of the most horrific torture pictures and put the blame for torture on the Bush white house steps. let the repukes in the leg. bitch all they want. ask them why they want to hide what they've done.
if there are hearings, they will have to be on C-span, even if the bought and paid for "media" won't cover the issues... as in the Sibel Edmonds case now.
good cop bad cop. let Obama talk about unity, but let congress note that justice is necessary for unity. we need to reconcile our laws and our office holders. if dems don't do this and the repukes do everything they can to put the fear of god in american minds, then, yes, the dems will have brought in on themselves.
and, once again, fucked over all of us. thanks in advance. I saw the thread earlier about "thinking about' contempt. they've been thinking about enforcing the law for two fucking years. either do it or shut up about it. who really cares anymore what they are thinking about if they don't follow up. and by not following up, they reinforce the idea that only the repukes are sons of a bitches enough to hold power. them's the way it is, childrens.
I've found two jobs, so far, to apply for in my area that are out of the U.S. If I get an interview and offer for either, I will take them. I won't be paid in dollars. These issues may not be issues in an election, but they are issues to me and I want to get out of this fascist shit hole that used to be America. i want to have health insurance. I want to live w/o idiotic fundies who still try to deny evolution. I want to live where my gay bros and sisters have the same civil rights that I have. I want Obama to win, but I know the ratfuckers are already at it. All I have is the hope of a clean break. Considering the democratic record for holding repukes accountable, I also know reality may be different. If they get the run around from repukes, then they should all go out on the steps of the cap. and demand the repukes answer the questions of torture and signing statements and the disregard for the separation of powers, etc. etc. etc. The American public is already sick of Bush's crap. Why the dems do not take advantage of this is beyond me, unless key players are being blackmailed or paid off... which isn't beyond question either.
it was certainly convenient that there was -maybe- a threat of another al q attack just as McCain got the repuke nomination. Why doesn't some staffer do a side by side of threats that were supposedly made lined up with events at those times that Bush et al wanted to get off the front page. Americans need to see that sort of thing and most ppl are too busy to follow that sort of thing themselves, what with working two jobs and all. I know I'd be happier if I didn't live among this totally frustrating stupidity in this country while the rest of the western democracies work toward human rights for their citizens and residents.
:mad:
yes we can, but not if Congress is in bed with Bush.
