Where is the ENFORCEMENT in our friggin Gov't????
Our elected officials are committing crimes 24/7!!!!

Waxman investigates, ......but no supeonas, no trial and no arrests.

The House is refusing funds for the war and Demanding withdrawel, but nothing is stopping the military/WH

Fitzgerald has practically proven conspiracy to treason and nothing is being done. Where are these tapes to the frigggin public?

Bush/Oil Gods paying scientists off for falsifying statistics.... and no action.

Clinton, DLCrs, McCain are riding high on Bush's thuggery.

Hagel/Warner are flipped out with double speak forked tongues and still kiss ass with murderers.

WTF is wrong with this broken gov't????

I am just so very pissed off.

4. Don't worry
many of us echo your sentiment... I hope a wide sweeping group of Lamont/Webb type candidates gain traction in 08 and start getting the bums out from both parties.

8. Chew on this for a spell...
This article has some really good info...From the Guardian UK

http://www.guardian.co.uk/commentisfree/story/0,,2005943,00.html

<snip>

Americans, such demanding consumers in every other aspect of their lives, curiously expect little from their political leaders. They hold the principle of democracy dear; but the purpose of democracy remains elusive. The notion that "the people shall govern" is the cornerstone of American political identity - even if the nonchalance with which they watched Bush steal the 2000 election revealed a disturbing reluctance to defend it. Yet the idea that elections should be the mechanism for effecting real change barely seems to register - which is why it was relatively easy for Bush to get away with robbery.

9. Point well taken and frustrating as well. How much more we will be able to
take in, I don't know.
