Believe it or not

Believe it or not there are still some people who support Bush/Cheney and the Brafia. After seven years of incessant lying, violations of the Constitution, flagrant war crimes such as torture and profiteering, the indiscriminate killing of innocent civilians, dropping illegal bombs, virtually bankrupting the nation, and scandals as far as the eye can see, some 28% or so of Americans still think Bush/Cheney are okay. I find this impossible to understand, short of believing that 28% must be either totally uninformed or quite mad. I guess these people must be those who get their news exclusively from Fox (the rest of the MSM aren't much better) and listen only to Limbaugh, O'Reilly, Coulter and the rest of the hatemongers. I realize that this is America and people are entitled to free speech and all that, but that doesn't mean you have to believe everything you hear, especially from such obviously prejudiced sources. One only has to hear the sound of Limbaugh''s voice to know he is lying, and the same is true of O'Reilly. And Coulter is so far gone off the deep end, so to speak, it is obvious she is just making things up to outrage and make big bucks. These miserable no-talents are doing the equivalent of falsely yelling "fire" in a crowded theatre and not being held accountable for it. Of course nowadays, under the Brafia empire, there is no such thing as accountability.

Does anyone believe that the White House was not involved in the destruction of the torture tapes? The politicization of the Justice Department? The doings at Abu Ghraib? The Israeli attack on Lebanon? The Abramhof scandal? The Plame scandal? The theft of elections? I do not know a single person who thinks they are innocent of these things. Of course I don't know any members of the Brafia so my horizons are limited. But even though a majority of Americans now know how bad Bush/Cheney have been, and even though there are increasing calls for impeachment, things just continue as if there are no problems at all. Bush/Cheney continue making their speeches, reporters listen but do not question, and the charade continues.

I have not yet decided who I will vote for, as I know I will not be given the choice to vote for Kucinich. But the first candidate who will announce publicly they will seriously attempt to hold Bush/Cheney accountable for their war crimes will get my vote.
