Could it be that our government is becoming AFRAID of we the people?
And how we might react to the last 8 years when the shit finally hits the fans?

And if this is the case, its about fucking time.

Remember, they can't kill us all.

1. I think they believed they'd get full compliance, afterall the
sell/con job re Iraq worked on a good precentage of citizens but didn't cheney say something about not rolling out a new 'product' in Autumn? I think people are truly fed up with the diet of fear.

2. If not, they ought to be...
... nothing motivates a Congresscrittter to bow to the will of the people more than good ols-fashioned fear.

As the next President once said: "Enough!"

3. Bush has lied so many times nobody believes him this time...
about the "BIG CRISIS" at hand.

Let him bail the Wall Street Traitors out with some of his "Political Capital"

4. Yes, but at the wrong time.
The common yahoos out there aren't economic experts. This time, solving the current mess will take deliberation and courage (something they don't have).
