what you say is exactly where I am at the moment..having morphed from being one of those who supported Bill & Hillary so strongly ...I really didn't believe the "blue dress" was real. :eyes: The underbelly we've seen exposed since then "has" been disheartening. Bugliosi did seem to give up in frustration, maybe, after writing that book about the Selection. I think of people like Eric Alterman who was perhaps one of the first to get a big forum talking about how the "Corporate Media" and their dreadful growing influence. He has published two books on Corporate Media Influence and he has said at times mentioned his discouragement that they didn't seem to bring attention for the change he had thought they would. Eric is not the same person he was back then fighting...(although he still tries with his Media Matters blog.) One just get so tired when you don't have the help from the people who are supposed to be monitoring and protecting our rights...like this ineffectual Congress we've had for so long. It's hard not to look at all the people banning together in the New Media on the Internet and in our State Dem Party and with the Organization and Activism of the Dean Campaign plus the millions who have marched against Iraq Invasion and stood on corners in their hometowns every weekend with silent vigils...who've donated to every group exposing the Bushies and the lies that got us into Iraq...and all the rest....and not feel so discouraged that we are "stuck" now with a congress that doesn't seem to be able to fulfill it's duties...half hearted subpoena's and the rest... and candidates that seem to be triangulating us.

I'm sorry...what I'm writing is hasty...and should be better expressed. I better stop.
