4. (Universal Post of the Day)
I find it so hard to believe how much absolutely blatant abuse of power is being exercised by this administration. And so many people are BLIND to it!
I am in contact with many so-called 'Republicans'. (I'm a REAL Republican and independent thinker - this administration is not any thing that belongs to this country.) As a Republican I find I have instant edification with other 'Republicans' because they believe I will agree with them carte-blanche. I love to make this one point every once in a while;

"I'd rather the President of the United States were impeached for selling weapons to anti-US third world countries, For manipulating intelligence on a path to war, or For abrogating the Geneva Convention, rather than for lying to a grand jury about whether or not he had sex with an intern."

- I don't attack or accuse - that would give the 'Republican' impetus to go counter-offensive. I rather deliver my concern in a more thoughful tone with a hint of irony... they almost always walk away very thoughtful of what I've said.

Something is VERY wrong here when these things are allowed to go on after an entire country got bent out of shape over whether or not a guy lied about a BJ!

I'm trying to get people to wise up - but so long as people have their SUV's, their Satellite TV, and they're being told what they want to hear, it's just too much work for them to think for themselves. Worse... when I see someone catch a glimpse of what's really happening - I can see a flash of real fear erase the image from their mind. Forever to forget and live in comfort.

We cannot let this happen.
