Help!

Things have now reached the point where they are so bad it is almost impossible to even comment any further. The lies and hypocrisy of the Bush/Cheney administration are so blatantly ridiculous it leaves one virtually speechless. Trying to deal with this complete mess is like baying at the moon. Iraq is an absolute disaster. Even the senior military people now concede that a military solution will not be possible. As this has been perfectly obvious for more than two years it makes you wonder just how stupid the military (and Rumsfeld) really are. Afghanistan, about which we hear very little these days, is a disastrous mess. The U.S. national debt has grown to the point where we are literally owned by the Chinese (if they decide to cash in their chips). Health care in the U.S. is a disaster and seems to be getting worse day by day. The environment suffers under the ridiculous plans for "clean air," "healthy forests," and other such totally misleading labels. Bush's poll numnbers, along with those of Congress are at all time lows but they all continue on doing business as usual as if they are unconcerned. And why should they not be unconcerned as no one seems to have the inclination to do anything about it (or if they have the inclination they don't have the power or authority they need). Those with the temerity to speak the truth, such as Howard Dean, are castigated even by their own party. I am pretty damn old and I can tell you that never in my lifetime have things sunk so low for the United States. You know the old typing exercise we used: "Now is the time for all good men to come to the aid of their country?" It has never been more true or more pertinent. If U.S. citizens don't wake up soon and see what an absolute mess Bush/Cheney have made of our country and the world it is going to be too late.

Thank god for John Conyers and Howard Dean. They will have my total support from now on. There will be none for Hillary (on the board of directors of Wal Mart and just another Republican-lite). None for Kerry for the same reasons. None for the DLC which I hope will soon just disappear. And none for any Democrat like Biden who is so chicken he distances himself from the truths coming out of Dean's mouth. This current Republican administration is so foul, so bad, so disastrous, so dishonest, so criminal, so utterly incompetent, that it should collapse under its own weight, and perhaps it will. But if Democrats can't organize themselves to defeat it they will surely deserve to suffer the consequences which, I assure you, will not be pleasant. Wake up America! Man the barricades! Do something! All the evidence is in. We know exactly what has happened. There is no further excuse for inaction. If there is still 40% of Americans who support Bush/Cheney they are too stupid to worry about. Let the Rapture have them, the sooner the better. We must take back our country from these lunatic right-wingers who believe the earth was created 4000 years ago and dinosaurs never existed, the Grand Canyon was created by the flood, and Christianity is the only true religion. No more compromising with these idiots, no more giving in to Republican extremism, no more pretending that the current Republican Party is not, in fact, a criminal enterprise in the service of corporate America. The time for meaningful action is now! Support Dean. Support Conyers. Support Boxer. Support Kennedy. Support Byrd. Do not give another inch to Republicans on anything. There is no such thing as bipartisanship with this current bunch of lying dishonest hypocrites.
