Reply #22: Thank you renate -- I think I know how you feel about this

[Time for change]

On the one hand, there are a lot of good honest people, including many of our Congresspersons IMO, who just feel that they can't say what needs to be said because they'll get castigated for it. Like when Dick Durbin dared to speak about the abyssmal treatment of our prisoners at Guantanamo. They're afraid that if they speak the truth they'll be pounced on -- and they're right about that.

But this is how I feel about it, right or wrong. I feel that we (including our elected representatives) need to really push the envelop with our corporate media. And if they pounce on us for doing that -- which they will -- then we need to be ready for them. Congress needs to move on impeachment. They will be castigated by the media for that, but I say fuck them. I honestly believe that once our Democratic Congresspeople start standing up to the media (which they are already doing, but they need to do much more of it IMO) the people will see through the corporate babble heads and they will richly reward those who stand up to them. I could be wrong, but that's my opinion.
