Any politician who doesn't promise to hold Jr accountability --
is not getting my support. I will probably hold my nose and vote for them if they are the nominee, but I am not interested in a future where these criminals are allowed to get away with murder -- literally.

- Rape the FDA by putting folks who don't care about e-coli in charge? Children die, and I call that "negligent homicide."

- Ignore a city and its citizens as the disaster that was the response kills more than the Hurricane? We can't even count the dead because their bodies were swept out to sea -- and I call that "negligent homicide."

- Refuse to fix a health care system that means you are going to die from cancer (even if its treatable/curable) because you can't get access to health care? I can't even think about it without weeping for Jenny Caldwell -- she was diagnosed with breast cancer (no insurance), got "emergency" health insurance that covered her treatment, was pronounced "cured" so she lost the "emergency" health care, then couldn't afford to go back for the follow up visits. We buried her three weeks after she collapsed at work a few months later -- it came back, spread to her lymph nodes, bones and brain, and KILLED HER.

Don't even get me started on the countless dead in Iraq. Don't even get me started on the wounded. Don't even get me started on the illegal phone tapping. Don't even get me started on the "Justice Department" firings. Don't even get me started on --

Dear God in Heaven, I'm not interested in "bipartisanship" and "hope for the future." I want ACCOUNTABILITY and JAIL TIME and A ROYAL FEAR OF NOT ACTING IN THE PUBLIC'S INTEREST. Make that TERROR. Yes, I want politicians to be TERRIFIED that if they don't do their JOBS that they will have their lives destroyed, their fortunes confiscated, and their children changing their names in shame!!!

I want them Hunted Down and Tried for Treason.

I'm a simple woman, with a simple request.

Don't Ignore the Past. BURN THEM FOR IT.

Thank you.

8. Alas. Politics as usual will prevail with calls for "healing the wounds".
Which puts the lie to the pleasant myth of "We are a nation of laws".
