Question from me

[FreedomAngel82]

I am one of the gloom and doom types. I don't think there's any hope because I haven't seen any yet. I thought the democrats were going to go down fighting dealing with the nuclear option but yet they caved and "compromised". What did they give up to the compromise? What did the republicans give up with their base? I know they'll do something to get them back before the midterms. Now Bush is wanting to go to war with Iran but it's looking a little more like Syria, so I think it could be either one (watch it be Iran). So many people have died because of a lie. If this was a democratic president he would've been impeached immediatley, but because he has an (r) by his name and his father was a president with an (r) by his name he gets a free pass.
He's stolen two persidential elections (all the surpressing was a coverup and a show for the theatre). I really feel hopeless and love my country but I don't like the direction it's going. I've studied Hitler quite a lot and know him pretty well. After finding out that Bush's grandfather helped Hitler is when I became really gloomy and depressed for this country (of course finding out about PNAC also helped). It's clear Bush is continuing his grandfather's legacy and upstaging his father even if he had to lie, cheat and steal to get there. The "elections" didn't work and nobody in the Senate is wanting to help where it matters.
Then the memo comes out and it's ignored. This is an impeachable offense! But yet nobody has drawn up papers. Only Kucinich and Abercombie have drawn up papers to remove us from Iraq. Of course that didn't get very far. My question is: can we get help from another country? Can someone from another country bring Bush and his croonies down? I think, right now, if we're to save our country it's the only way.
In state's where it matters, like Florida and Ohio, they have voting machine's so they can easily hack in and change all the vote's. I'm just tired of being helpless and feeling depressed and worrying about tomorrow. It's just so much stress on all of us who know the truth. So what can be done about it?

2. I think we are on our own and must depend on ourselves

Bush has been extremely deceptive in his "reign". He promised all children a chair at the table of plenty only to replace that by cuts for federal programs to help kids. He's redistributed our taxes to the rich while cutting federal relief to local governments, tossing our communities into disarray. His foreign policies kill our kids while making his rich donors richer. He's no one I would invite to a family dinner. He is hated by most of the world for his gung ho stupid attitude,,,but we are the ones who must eventually see he is no longer president. We all cry for what could have been but never was because of Bush.

Try to be patient and try not to stress or worry. Worry does nothing but rob you of strength to come up with possible solutions or to deal with things.
It's just a matter of time, Bush will be held accountable for his deceit and corruption. His whole family will.

5. I just wonder if it'll ever happen

Poppy Bush has gotten away with so much. I know in my gut he was involved in the Kennedy assisnation and he's still free. Nothing happened when it was known Al Gore really won the election. *sigh* I just don't think anything will happen to him. :cry:

4. 3 words

Rubberstamping Republican Congressional Majority (ok, 4 words)

Really, I get discouraged with the Democrats...but then I remember, they could be the herd that allows the criminals in the Executive Office to have their way with this country. The only principles they operate under is whether Karl/DeLay/Frist will hurt them politically or not.

It's not up to us or the Democrats to "change things". It's up to the American people to understand this simple truth and throw these syncophants out of office. Yes, we have some losers on our team...but the Democrats are a whole hell of a lot better than the quisling simperers that masquarade as Congressional Republicans.

2703-1 That number tells you everything you need to know about this Republican Congress.

6. It is overwhelming sometimes, isn't it? But it's people like you that give

me hope that we can overcome this.

I gather from reading some of your other posts that you're in your early 20s. When I was your age (let's not say how long ago!), all I wanted to do was go drinking and dancing.

You're very aware of what's going on, and that's at least half the battle. I have no answer to your question right now, other than to say that you've already begun to do what needs to be done--get informed and seek out others of like mind. I have a lot of faith that you're going to help find the answer.

:hug:

7. Well I don't know about that

My life is pretty boring right now and I don't like not knowing something and especially what's going on that could effect me. You'd never know what could happen to you one day and slip it under your nose. Know what I mean? I don't like clubs and don't like drinking so heh heh.
Oh and yes I'm in my early twenties. In July I'll be twenty-three. Right now I'm thinking about changing my major to criminal justice. I mainly got involved in that from the JFK assisination. I have a pretty good idea of how it all came about and would LOVE to one day prove it and have some type of justice for his and his brother's death. I always wonder what it would be like if they were still a live. *sigh*

8. Remember that the chief election officers, secretaries of state, are

STATE officials, not national ones.

And voting machines are bought either on a state or county level.

Here in Texas it's a county thing.

Find out what it is in your state and start haunting your county commissioners' meetings if that's the place.

Get to know a good state legislator and lobby him or her for election reform.

This is a battle that is going to be won from the bottom up.

Meanwhile, if you have a dog or cat, hug it a lot and if it's a dog, take it for lots of walks.

If you don't have a dog or cat, there are so many of them in rescue and at shelters who need a home and love.
