BUSH!

Please stop. Please just go away and let some sane people take over what is left of this country. I don't know how much more I can take. I have come to no personal harm during any of your insane mis-administration, but, nonetheless, you are ruining my life. From the shit you pulled during the recount in 2000, through 9/11 and the anthrax attacks, the buildup to the Iraq War and its aftermath, your cheating in the Presidential debates and the rigged election and now the disaster in the South, I have spent countless hours worrying over what was going to happen and trying to get the real facts (as I live in a reality-based World) while you, your government and the media fed me lies and bullshit. Every day I get up wondering what the hell is going to go wrong next.

Even if none of the tragedies of this decade were your fault (which I don't believe for a moment) any employee who had so many disasters happen on their watch would be fired, no driver with so many accidents could expect their insurance not to be canceled, no business owner could expect to avoid bankruptcy when they screwed up so famously so many times. Why are you different? You used to be in the baseball business, managers get fired for poor performance all the time-you are zero for god-knows-how-many and we are supposed to cheer you on?

I am frustrated, angry, sad and depressed twenty-four hours a day seven days a week and I am sure I am not alone. All the pleasure has been sucked out of my life. You, on the other hand, seem to thrive on this shit.

So please, take your bike and pickles and your two kids and go back to your ranch. Tell all the incompetent millionaire thieves you have appointed to high office to go home and enjoy their wealth, otherwise, I suspect they will someday have to defend it with their lives-and it will not be pretty. Picture one of your daughters or Cheney's face down in the water with her pants around her ankles- her picture on the internet for the whole World to see-and no one bothering to collect her corpse. Just in case you don't know about that, I can e-mail you the picture. It happened in OUR country on YOUR watch.

So just go away please and take your cronies with you. The sane, reality-based community will collect the dead, extricate us from Iraq and try to put the pieces of this country back together.

or more importantly to your HOUSE Representative. I know it is good to vent here, but lets get the fires going to hold their feet to.

I thought I could withstand anything they threw at us.

With the news today about Roberts on top of everything else I think I am done.

After everything, the sorrow is too deep. The fear is creeping, the anger is so white hot I can't bear it anymore.

This anti death penalty person has had some serious thoughts about what should be done with this bunch but now, I just want them gone. I don't care what they did I just want them gone so we can go back to at least seeming to be what we think we are as a country.

My heart and spirit are broken today.

I am glad you reposted this.

don't let it get you down..it's what they want... *hug* sending you some good energy and support.

I go through this periodically like most of us do, I am reasonably certain that I will be better sometime today. Something is different now though. I feel worn out, like even reading this is too hard. Nixon was easier than this bunch and that was pretty damned hard.

down one of the trees I'm thinning out. Try that, it works for awhile, but only if you leave the TV off when you come back in.

and do something exhausting. Thanks, I will give it a try.

when we have our country to save

...in the spring of 2003, to be precise. And it was from the lips of the King of neo-cons sputtering about some war he was determined to start, as I remember...

That's the definition you should be paying attention to, apparently...

I walk to the store. This is not a worthwhile endeavor while our country comes apart at the seams. I shouldn't have used "Re-posting" and edited it, the mod told me to "repost" and took out the offending text his or herself.

seems pretty reasonable to me.

our fearless leader harm or that I was becoming unstable.

you just can't advocate for that here and you know that, go out and put a sign on a telephone poll or in the back window of your car.

unstable. LOL, we are being run by the unstable. I did not see your original post, it was gone when I saw it referenced in another thread but it must have been a goody because the bar is so low now for judging unstable in this country.

Good thread, it makes me feel less alone.

What am I missing here? The imagery was harsh, but so are the images we see every day on television and in the papers, thanks to this idiot. I don't get it....
