What a long, strange trip it's been....
Many DUers recall when we were in agreement 10% of the population. George W Bush's polls were about 78% at the time. But, with all the opposition, we endured. Today, 34% of the public agrees with George W Bush. They may not all agree with us but we are much higher than the 10% we experienced for so long.

With that in mind, we should remember those days with this censure hearing presently going on. We may seem like we are at 10% again but I don't think we should take that too seriously. The tide has turned in this country and this is not the last we will hear about this issue.

It may seem that the Democrats want to regain power but they don't seem to want the responsibility that goes with their job. Their job is investigate and find the truth and impeach the president if he breaks the law or is guilty of high crimes or misdemeanors. There is no doubt in many of our minds that there were high crimes or misdemeanors or both.

We have come a long way and we are not ready to go back.

1. Yeah, we've come a long way. The quislings in Washington
weren't with us when we were 10%, and they're not with us now. They're with the same people they've always been with. The wealthy and the corporations.

They need to go. But since you can't even get in a political race with less than 10 million dollars anymore (a rigged and bullshit situation if I ever heard one), it is almost impossible for anyone to get into politics unless you're sponsored by someone with money.

It's a big Catch 22

2. I wasn't around here back in those days,
but i was catching hell from allot of people because of my views of Bu$h back then. I even lost friends for my views, some people refused to speak to me. "But the times they are a Changing" Our views that were considered un-american only a few short months ago, have become much more appealing and now we're in the majority!
