At some point, the knees have to buckle at BushCo.
Edited on Sat Nov-05-05 05:37 PM by Chimpys_Last_Stand
When you stop and think about it for a moment, it really is mind-boggling. Just add it up. This administration is touched by scandal virtually from all angles and at all levels. From Plamegate/DSM to the guy in Ohio (I forget if he's a politician himself, or exactly who he is) who is alleged to have laundered his dirty money through the Bush re-election campaign. And at all points in between.
It's just everywhere. And, believe it or not, there's actually a very small part of me - but an undeniable one nonetheless - which is going to feel sad when it all comes crashing down. Feel sad for the Bushies? Hell no. Just feel bad for America, that's all. This is after all, among many other things, a national tragedy. A U.S. federal government which is THIS corrupt, makes me feel sad as a foreigner looking in. I admire the United States in so many ways, and now it does really seem as though there are very stormy, and frankly very embarrassing times ahead, for the Republic. America is a beacon to the rest of the world (as is my country, Canada, I believe). Think of the voluminous scientific, medical, cultural and other advances the U.S. is responsible for. Think of some of the great political leaders too. You think of so many positives when you think of America. And now you've also got to think about a nation lied into a war of imperialistic aggression. A war all about corporate greed. A war about oil. 2000 plus dead soldiers. Dead over oil and over keeping the war widgets rolling off the assembly lines at Lockheed-Martin. It's sick and it makes me want to puke.

I just hope that when the end comes for these neo-con bastards, it comes with crystal clarity, and with merciless, unimpeachable truth.

Well...not everything should be 'unimpeachable.';)

1. Be glad you are a foreigner looking in and not here in the shit soup
that is the very corrupt U.S. federal government. Makes me wish I were Canadian.

2. Well-said. It's a sad day for America when we have to be honest and
acknowledge the filth that is this unelected administration. It's NOT good for the country, but it'd be even worse if we allowed it to remain unchecked.
A great nation must also be a good nation, and we cannot be a good nation if we don't have good people serving the nation.
And these are not good men...these are NOT good men.
(And neither are they good women, those in the administration who are female...)

3. Many who were asleep here are starting to wake up.
It just may be too late. Canada and Mexico are standing at the mouth of a Cave with a sleeping rabid Grizzly inside. At some point these criminals will refuse to go away.

investigation of Chimpco. --to avoid being thrown out and into the same jail with him?

At some point the Legislative Branch has to check an out of control Executive, which is by now bursting at the seams with evidence of extreme governmental misconduct. Impeachment hearings are not what I'm getting at, exactly but a full-on investigation into patterns of Exec Branch abuses which might satisfy the American people that the Bush Administration's record of wrongdoing isn't just a bunch of apparently disconnected & unsolved murder cases. It could lead to impeachment hearings, but accounting is what I mean. There is something very rotten smelling on the Potomac River and it ain't lowtide. There is too much wrong for there not to be a system of corruption. People are getting angry and want to know that their government is capable of at least some gestures in the direction of regulating and accounting for itself.
