Still wondering what month we'll hold war criminals accountable
After we appoint a JP Morgan crook to replace the Geithner crook? After we throw 40,000 more troops/cannon fodder into Afherionostan? After we're all forced to by criminal corporate health insurance instead of the real health care reform 77% of us want?

Yes, I am bitter, because war crimes NEVER go away. The same criminal culture that let's them go free is the exact same one that will NEVER "vote" for real health care too. Here's the worst part: it doesn't matter what the hell I say or anyone else says either because the U.S. is a corrupt country.

2. It isn't the criminals they love.
It is those who obstruct justice that they love.

8. I thought the OP was about "war criminals".
Not that a single war criminal was named. There was Geithner and some unnamed person from JP Morgan.

6. Is that like "Rocktober"?
or like George Carlin's number between 6 and 7 known as "bleen".

4. The American people just keep believing the liars.
We need to get the next "change you can believe in" Presidential candidate to sign a contract, agreeing to resign if they don't do what they promise.

If they promise transparency, yet they allow torture to be concealed, out they go!

If they preach to us about the sins of the administration they'll follow, then do the same thing or allow those sins to go without investigation and unpunished, we send them packing.

If they promise to stop the (illegal, immoral, and unnecessary wars based on lies) and they escalate the troop levels instead, back home they go!

No more liars. Enough is enough!

5. Yes. And currently we are helpless if we rely on the ballot to change things.
We have to become a movement and it will take a long time. If we don't become a movement, we are passengers with a destination unknown and a journey without assurances we can return to something more stable.

12. We have to keep our powder dry until we get the house, senate, and white house
And then keep it dry for the mid-terms, and then again since presidential election will be after that and we can't afford to lose...

13. It never was going to happen and I don't understand why some thought it would.
Wishful thinking maybe?
