I drove past this between Salida and Cotopaxi on State Highway 50 in Colorado. I had to turn around and tell whoever that I stood with them totally assuming I was correct. I was and got the biggest hug of appreciation for doing so.

From my understanding, there are close to 3000 children being held around this country after being seized from their parents at the border.

Many will never see their Mom and Dad again because Republicans are totally evil.

You bastards!

Why The Democrats Enable this Madness

Chances Are Good

Most sites that I visit and the links within them to blogs contain intelligent thoughtful material. It's more than fair to state all of us know the story of this administration. We are informed and aware. There will be just one story used as example here.

Simply it concerns how the information that led to Spitzer was acquired. A trolling expedition.

This administration has done what ever it wants because it can many times enabled by those who are supposed to be on my side your side our country's side.

Common sense tells me the total lack of accountability or over site particularly when it stretches into years worth does not add up or make sense not even a little bit.

The example I will use out of what must be thousands by now is Valarie Plame. This may be the worst case of treason in the history of this country combined with the fact she worked on WMD's in the region that includes the country that we invaded and now occupy on lies. It's like it never happened. It is the same for all the other story's as well. It cannot be added up and does not make sense.

What does makes sense to me is the following as they have all the tools at their disposal to accomplish such a task.

Simply put-I firmly believe they have used these tools and will use the term blackmailed many key people in government and whoever or whatever they feel is a threat to them. When lies from them kill so many common sense tells me that same threat is being used along with much else and that is why we are in the state we are. That is the one thing that does add up. Look the fuck out!

  2. I'm not into conspiracy theories, but I've wondered about this possibility. It's certainly possible. That's one of the main reasons I was so concerned about the new FISA bill. It gives whoever runs the NSA the power to find out whatever is available over the Internet or the phones about anyone who is a problem for them. It's an invitation to just such abuses of power as the ones you're discussing.

    Still, I've seen enough behavior on other issues there to convince me that what we see in DC may have as much to do with the isolation and sense of entitlement of many in Congress. The Democrats in DC are more like Republicans in DC than they are like Democrats in the rest of the country.

    Thanks to how badly damaged the Republicans' reputation is, some new Democrats, like Webb and Carney, are folks who were, or should have been, Republicans. That's served to make Democrats a bit more reactionary than they might otherwise be.

    They might not be all that comforting, but there are alternative explanations.

  3. Yes. I believe blackmail is common and widely used by the government. But one ingredient of the Washington mess that hasn't been mentioned as needing removal is the countless government employees put in place or promoted into positions of responsibility only because they actively support the policies of the Decider. These will be in place long after Bush and his immediate political yes-men are long gone from office.
    Think of all the department heads who back Bush - and think of all the people they hired or promoted within the agencies and departments of our government, again only because they support Bush's right-wing beliefs.
    These fascist bastards will be screwing us over for a damn long time - continuing to enable government to undermine and ignore our constitution all the while giving corporations a free ride at our expense.
    Agency and Department heads may be replaced, but Federal employees are extremely difficult to remove from the payroll.
    Perhaps more difficult than changing Presidents.

  4. Seriously guys this system is so corrupted and those in DC so far out of touch with reality no matter what happens in Nov whether these people are being pressured or not to think there will be any meaningful change is doubtful at best. I'll believe it when it happens. I'm tired of this shitty attitude and outlook and look forward to talkng about positive progressive changes that have been legislated.
