bush won in 2000 and 2004, get over it
not my message, seems to be the one we are getting (and did get) from our 'leadership'.

You folks here did more for this country (and still do) than our 'leadership'. Sure we got some good leaders, but like Iraq it seems we keep hearing 'get over it, now is not the time.'

I am tired of politics and the cover your ass attitude of professional politicians afraid to say what needs to be said (and bless those that do! sadly you are in the minority).

Vote fraud, wars, lies, torture, and so on - and the only ones to make a dent in this admin seem to be prosecutors. How long has bush been in power? Too long - but long enough that the dems should have done something more than they have done.

Would that they had the guts most here do to speak their minds. bush tells us to fear the terrorists, our leaders it seems fear the public and opinion polls.

Say what needs to be said, do what must be done, or the loss is not because the other side cheated and lied, it is because those we hired sat on their asses scared to lose opinion polls....

rant off

2. One EX-leader is speaking his mind........
HARTFORD, Dec. 5 - Former Gov. Lowell P. Weicker Jr. on Monday criticized Senator Joseph I. Lieberman's continued support of the war in Iraq and said that if no candidate challenged the senator on the issue in the 2006 election, he would consider running.

"When you've become the president's best friend on the war in Iraq, you should not be in office, especially if you're in the opposing party," Mr. Weicker, 74, said in a phone interview from his home in Essex, Conn. "I'm going to do everything I can to see that Joe Lieberman does not get a free pass."

4. If I'm to "get over it", then open all the prison gates and let all of
those people out. If the people who are suppose to enforce the laws don'thave to follow them, I don't see why anyone else does. Let's just fire the police and we'll all be on our own, because right now * and his pals are destroying the country and there doesn't seem to be too many people concered.

5. I've said this before...
If election fraud is as widespread as I suspect, the career professionals in government, especially at Justice, may be our last hope for peaceful reform.
