Senators like war

The Senate voted 80 - 14 to give Bush all the money he asked for to continue his insane illegal war. Obama and Hillary cleverly didn't vote until the issue was already decided. They safely voted no. It has become clear there is no hope that the democrats will act to end this horrible war. They are now in support of it along with the Republicans. And why not? It's good for business. Look at the Stock Market at record highs and still climbing.

It seems to be common knowledge that Condi Rice and her group are trying to use diplomacy with Iran and others while Cheney and his warmongers are doing what they can (along with Israel) to stir up a war with Iran. That Dick the Slimy, you have to give him credit, he certainly knows on which side his corporate toast is breaded. I guess there are just no limits to how much profit our corporations will seek, their greed is totally unbounded, just like the guy that won 86 million in the lottery a while back and announced that his ambition was to become a billionaire. I guess it's just the American way.

I wonder why the democrats keep pursuing all their investigations into Republican wrongdoing as they seem to have no intention whatsoever of doing anything about it. If they really wanted to do something they have had plenty of evidence for months, even years, that would easily have led to impeachment. Apparently the whole thing is little more than a charade, allowing democrats to pretend to be doing something while at the same time just going along with whatever Bush/Cheney desire. You notice that people are now speaking of "Cheney democrats." Cheney seems to be the godfather, the one that keeps the racket going, the endless war that just pumps more and more money into the pockets of his mobsters. He's not only bought the judges, right up to the Supreme Court, but he also controls the media (except for the internet, so far). He is apparently untouchable as even with his poll numbers lower than a snake's belly he continues to survive and thrive (notice how far Kucinich has got with his attempt at impeachment). It's really quite amazing and, for me at least, impossible to understand (is it mass blackmail, or just the money, or both). Did he study at the feet of the late J. Edgar Hoover?
