I am just really disgusted.
CAFTA passed, with the help of some of our party's whores.

And the Repukes are cheering.

The whole country is going down in flames, and the Repukes are singing songs and making S'mores.

I think it's all finished. We're just going to have to let it burn. 50% of the country is too stupid, and the media is corrupted beyond repair. It's gonna have to burn.

I'm unbelievably angry and sad.

2. It's the ultimate example of their stupidity.
They are the stupidest fucking people on the face of the planet.

And, with that level of stupidity, with that level of media control, our country's finished.

6. Yep. They're stupid. But they're also misled by a corrupt media.
That is really not much of an excuse, however.

8. Cafta is being called a "win" for the President. What
about the workers of this country? When will it be called a "loss" for the citizens?

11. Consumers
That's all we are. The rabble doesn't count. We don't have the money to matter. When are we going to finally realize that?

Wait, must be optimistic. Let's write some angry letters and hold them accountable! Wow, a rush of fake power, that felt nice.

Oh, oh, oh...I'll call my congressman. That'll let them know I'm keeping my eye on them.

Citizens...ha ha ha ha ha ha ha, ahhhhhhhhhh. You're too funny.

9. My Democratic Representative Voted For It....Ugh...
but I can take some comfort in the fact that they had to keep the vote open for an hour and that I don't believe the American public at all approves of CAFTA and this can become a noose around their necks in 2006, except of course in my own reps case. I was told to call him but didn't get around to it as had a number of family emergencies, but now wish I had phoned although it probably wouldn't have made any difference.

The way the House and Senate are now, we're gonna lose most every close vote. So I'm not gonna worry too much about it....

I'm still focused on Rovegate...and the Iraq disaster...and the rightard SCOTUS nominee...
