Republicans sure are forgiving

Another recent letter to an editor:

In view of the human, social, economic, environmental and international destruction wrought by the Bush/Cheney administration, I find it inconceivable that anyone could support them. Yet the coming election is predicted to be very close.

I take this to mean Republicans think it's OK that Bush/Cheney, et al, lied to start a "pre-emptive war" that was/is illegal, immoral and unnecessary -- an undeclared and unconstitutional "war" resulting in the deaths and injuries of thousands of American troops and innocent Iraqi citizens.

Republicans apparently think it's fine that Bush/Cheney took a projected surplus of billions and converted it in three years to the largest national debt ever. Republicans must be pleased that someone in the White House treasonously "outed" a CIA operative and have refused to cooperate in revealing who it was.

Republicans must be proud that their "leader" is regarded even by his own colleagues as too inept to face the 9-11 Commission by himself.

Republicans must also be proud that when faced by repeated warnings about imminent attacks on the United States by terrorists, Bush decided to take a monthlong vacation. And now that Iraq is falling apart, he's taking another one. No matter how many artificial jobs they might create, they'll still be liars and war criminals.

Still another recent letter:

Good-evil war fought at home

Are there no honorable congresspersons? It is perfectly obvious by now to anyone but the most dismally dimwitted that Bush/Cheney should be impeached for multiple reasons (lying to Congress and the citizens of the U.S., war profiteering, violating the Genevea Conventions, etc., etc). The rest of the world is not going to settle for Bush/Cheney merely being voted out of office come November. They are going to demand accountability.

The Democrats are apparently so fearful of the Rove slime machine they refuse to take any action. The Republicans have obviously decided that loyalty to political party is more important than loyalty to country. This means the present administration dare not lose the coming election, as they will most probably end up in jail or worse.

So look for a conveniently timed terrorist attack, the capture of Osama bin Lden, a declaration of martial law or another stolen election of some kind. Make no mistake about it; there is a war of good versus evil. It is being fought right here at home. It is a war of democracy versus an insidious creeping fascism. A war the American people can ill afford to lose.

Last letter to bring me up to date:

Is Karl Rove losing his touch? First they went after John Kerry because of his $200 shirts. As Bush wears $2000 - $3000 dollar suits that didn't fly. Then they tried savaging him because he is wealthy. As they are themselves filthy rich that didn't fly either. Then it was his war record they attacked but as Bush's record is so abysmal that didn't work. They accused him of "looking French" and what is apparently worse, actually speaking French. No one seems to have taken that seriously. They tried to label him as a spoiled rich kid from New England -- as if Bush was born and raised in Texas without a silver spoon in his mouth. Now they portray him as a flip flopper. Unfortunately, Bush is an even greater flip flopper: no Rice testimony, Rice testimony, no nation building, nation builing, one hour only, no limit, no 9-11 commission, 9-11 commission, weapons of mass destruction, no weapons of mass destruction, etc., etc., etc. And now, incredibly, war president, peace president!!!

I can hardly wait until they try to accuse Kerry/Edwards of lying.


I trust it is obvious where my sentiments lie:

WAR CRIMINALS BELONG IN JAIL, NOT THE WHITE HOUSE!
