How much longer?

How much longer can this go on? Bush's favorable ratings have now fallen to 37% and seem to be still falling. Cheney's favorable ratings have reached an unbelievable 19%. It seems to me that with ratings this low and perhaps falling farther the decent thing to do would be to admit failure and resign. But, of course, Bush/Cheney have no sense of decency, no sense of shame, and apparently no sense of guilt whatsoever about having started an illegal, immoral, unconstitutional, and unnecessary war in which thousands have been killed and wounded. There is, of course, the little problem of war crimes that would probably come up if they were to resign. So what choice do they have but to go on pretending everything is going well, we are going to "win" (an absolute impossibility), they didn't lie, it's really all Clinton's fault, and etc., etc. By now virtually anyone with a brain larger than half a pea knows what happened, knows they lied us into this terrible "war," knows they stole two elections, knows they are the most corrupt and incompetent bunch of thieves ever hatched on American soil, knows they are war criminals, knows they are covering all this up shamelessly, and knows it is well past time for them to go. But as Republicans control everything and apparently are more interested in party than in justice or truth or the constitution, nothing happens. They block any and all attempts to disclose the truth even though it probably involves treason. I repeat, how much longer can this go on? Everywhere you look there is scandal: DeLay, Frist, Abramhoff, Libby, Rove, Brown, and so many others I can't even keep up. And as most of the democrats are unwilling to take any serious responsibility we can get absolutely nowhere. In all of my many years things have never been so grim and apparently hopeless. There are faint glimmerings of hope. Keep the faith. Never give up.

The miserable have no other medicine
But only hope.
