    Some do. But we seem to get drowned out by the MSM.

    The Republican Senate and Congress aided and abetted this administration in these crimes. At times Democrats had to hold meetings in the basement of the Whitehouse. The call from Democratic congreesmen/woman was heard, but it had no bearing on the outcome of the vote. Further intimidation was used against Democrats. The pundits on Foxnews and various other sources were calling for eradication of the filibuster. Rendering Democrats without any weapon to have any sway in the legislation of this country. I am truly amazed at the short-term memory of these Democrats. Maybe they just want to be just and fair, but believe me if Republican control sweeps Congress again, and i predict it will some day. The Republicans will not show the just and fair practices that I have seen form these Democrats. When will they learn? They are fighting a foe that is in some ways like the terrorists they try to make us fear. (cont.)

    trivia: who wrote

    Treason doth never prosper: what's the reason?

    Why, if it prosper, none dare call it treason.

    law in itself is meaningless unless it is enforced. Judge Merrick B. Garland, of the DC District Court of Appeals in a ruling issued june 30, admitted that without the will, provided by either congress or the DOJ, to enforce a ruling, even judicial review can be meaningless, and hence Huzaifa Parhat still sits in solitary confinement, unaware that he is a free man.

      Shock and Awe! Our government in the handling of its confused constituents.

      You might as well be looking for evidence of UFOs as to figure out why the masses seem ignorant to the smoke and mirrors our government has thrown in front of us.

      1) Our government has no respect for us and feels invincible and untouchable in its accountability to us.

      2) They have all the money, time, power, influence, and resources to weave their webs of deceit and dare the commoners to unite and fight back.

      The best we can hope for, at this point, is that our government implodes on itself and sanity is restored by people less corrupt and self-serving than the lot we have now (in ALL branches of government).

      And the tree of liberty must still be nourished from time to time with the blood of patriots and tyrants.

      There's the rub. Who dares to spill their blood. For we are now held captive by a treasonous government and few dare utter the words. Fewer still will stand their ground like the men who founded this nation by pledging their LIVES, their FORTUNES and their SACRED HONOR!

      How many in Washington are capable of grasping the concept of Sacred Honor? And let us not forget that is one thing to grasp the concept and quite another to live a life which embodies that Sacred Honor.

      THE WAY BUSH HANDLED THE SOUTHERN BORDER--SMACKS OF CORRUPTION AT THE HIGHEST LEVEL--BUSH- HIMSELF COULD BE INVOLVED IN THE DRUG TRADE...HIS ACTONS DO NOT PROVE OTHERWISE..HIS SECRET MEETINGFS WITH THE SAUDIS AT HIS RANCH ARE VERY SUSPICIOUS SEEING OUR NOW HIGH GAS PRICES, AND HIS FAMILY BEING IN OIL BIG TIME.

      THE WAR IN IRAQ--WAS NOT NECESSERY...IN FACT--THE GULF WAR WAS NOT NECESSERY..BUSH (1) DID NOT HAVE TO INVADE KUWAIT..WHY DID HE DO IT??? OFF HAND I WOULD SAY--HIS OIL INTERESTS, NOT OUR COUNTRYS INTERESTS...WE MAY RUE THE DAY WE EVER HEARD THE NAME BUSH...

      "None Dare Call It Treason"

      More evidence to support my theory that the left now occupies the same socio-phsyco-political territory that the John Birchers occupied 40 years ago.

      I'd recommend a little quiet time with former CBS News reporter Bernard Goldberg's book "Crazies to the Left of Me, Wimps to the Right: How One Side Lost Its Mind and the Other Lost Its Nerve"

      I liked the expression "political purgatory". Is not an electional campaign something like that? The Democrats would refuse the heritage of the Bush administration, if they could.

      But now, it lies in the hands of the voters to send them into what Dante called the "inner circle", or to give dispensation.

      The Americans should be aware of this chance!

      And like Sherazade, the candidates have to please and entertain their public as long as possible, to avoid the "execution" on election day ...

      The America we thought we knew is over.

      We have lost our self government. We have lost our free and open news media. The presidential candidates they have allowed to rise to the top only offer more of the same. Obama pulls more to the center and McCain might as well be another Bush brother.

      We must ask ourselves why our Government refused to investigate 9-11, it was the largest mass murder, the worst aviation disaster, the worst intelligence failure and military defense failure to ever occur on American soil. And our Government only begrudgingly investigated some 400 days later.

      Why would Bush and Cheney refuse to testify under oath?

      Why only together and not on record?

      Why do we still not know who sent the U.S. government anthrax?

      The list of outright contractor theft, covering for criminally responsible corporate heads, the outing of the CIA operative as a retaliatory, declaring a war without proper senate house approvals, war profiteering, and the biggest scandal of all which is the oil agenda and price of gas (how it fits in) are issues that need to be addressed to get to the fixes.

      The absolute power the oil companies have to bring this country to it's knees demands government intervention and regulation. Prices should be rolled back and fixed so we see a two year period of stable prices. The billions and billions of dollars going to oil companies should be frozen until they can show profit margins that are substantially reduced, if they get in trouble from those actions it makes more sense to subsidize them to keep them afloat than to subsidize in the face of monstrous profits.

      Past administrations have jumped all over excessive profits in the face of escalating prices.

      it is only this administration that has refused to oversee and regulate key energy and gas industries. The long term damage being done is at the start of it's curve, gas prices will be causing airlines to go bankrupt and needing bailouts for their survival, auto manufacturers will go under, shipping companies will be forced to raise rates dramatically, even food industries and products will be going through long term changes that cause food to go up.

      When these across the board impacts are all stemming directly from the price of gas it does warrant government oversight. That the very fabric of our economy could be played with and jeopardized simply to get protected areas opened up to drilling and perpetuate huge spending on oil companies is deeply and profoundly hideous. The disregard for the economic health and well being of an economy that is as large as ours and the depth of the systematic plundering of it's recourses is too staggering to comprehend. Enough is enough already.

      I am intending to make references in posts on different subjects to something that needs to be understood better by voters.

      I have felt that labeling policies as being republican or democratic is an incorrect stereotype. The corrupt machine that has had free reign for two admins has it's democratic support and involvement as much as there are bad republicans. There are good politicians that make hard fights against bad government but they don't have the key element that helps them get good legislation through, and that is public support and awareness.

      With a new administration there will be increased numbers of good politicians on both sides of the fence looking to pull for good policies. Increased public awareness that will come about from the new legislation Obama co-authored is going to illuminate bad spending and budget measures in a way that it will be easier than ever for us to see who is behind insidious pork riders and eliminate them and the politicians behind it.

          And we have the nerve to reprimand other countries for their human rights violations. Who nominated us to be the world's watchdog?

          The American population has been the target of illegal government domestic propaganda programs ever since the Reagan administration. The right-wing sources that carried out the imperial propaganda for Central American wars are virtually identical to those that carried out the imperial propaganda for Iraq. This has been known to Congress since the reports about Iran-Contra, but both parties have been complicit in keeping the facts from the American population.

          I don't have much faith that investigations after January 2009 will be much more intensive or successful in rooting out corruption than in 1987.

          Iran-Contra's 'Lost Chapter'

          As historians ponder George W. Bush's disastrous presidency, they may wonder how Republicans perfected a propaganda system that could fool tens of millions of Americans, intimidate Democrats, and transform the vaunted Washington press corps from watchdogs to lapdogs.
