Are the people FINALLY realizing what assholes bush & cheney are?
Could the tide be turning? Could the truth finally be settling into our collective brains? These guys are major asshole criminals, and maybe, just maybe people on all sides are figuring it out.

And the 20%er's? Fuck them.

1. I certainly hope so
I mean, credibility can be strained only so far.

3. Forget $4 dollar gas. Joe Sixpack is paying nearly $10 for that sixpack.
That's when he'll really get pissed.

8. Unfortunately, in any society, in any century, a lot of people don't wake up until something
bites THEM in the ass.

4. I have to admit, the polls in favor of Obama have widened since March.
Much to the dismay of the Mighty Slime Machine, that is.

I suspect they'll be even wider once they hear McCain speak . . . next to the more articulate, knowledged and overall breath of fresh air Obama . . . and come to the conclusion of "sorry, I cannot have that weird, delusional and just plain out-of-touch curmudgeon as the leader of the US."

5. we realize what these thugs are, but what about our elected
officials apparently they don't think they are of impeachable offenses. Sad very sad.

6. Oh, they KNOW they are, but institutional collusion prevents action taken
Misperception and misinformation via mainline media propaganda is the key to this dilemma: people don't want to face the ugly truth that our entire system {both sides of the same coin} is rotten to the core.

10. Hence the great size of the propaganda effort here to control public opinion {"impeachment is off"}

9. But, that's so wonderful about what Kucinich did...
...he threw the proverbial book at them.

He didn't make anything up, of course, and in all practicality not all of them will stick.

But, they're there and there is evidence to back every single one of them up.

A review of the charges is the only decent thing we can do for them.

questions. Since we started talking about things, she asked me if people have known about these things, why haven't they been doing anything about it? I had no good answer.

12. I think that the only answer to that is that we didn't have a majority
and the Repubs cover for their own. Good to hear that she's coming around. It amazes me that anyone hasn't seen what has been going on for the last eight years.

13. The media has hidden and rationalized all of it quite well.
