Should we give up? Should Alberto Gonzales be allowed to commit perjury and walk away with at best, a slap on the wrist? Lurita Doan, a 'dressing down' for her perjury and violations of the Hatch Act? The war crimes of the Bush administration, are they simply to be laughed off?
Congress cannot even find common ground for censure. Each step of the way by Democrats seems doomed to parsing phrases and memes like 'working across the aisle', rather than getting something done to stop the most heinous of the crimes the Bush Cheney cabal has foisted upon us.
Protest doesn't appear to work, or is working so slowly that Bush and Cheney will be out of office before anything happens. The statements of conservatives like Bruce Fein, Paul Craig Roberts, Pat Buchanan, of implications from Arlen Specter .. no impact.
I'm becoming less and less interested, in everything political it seems lately. I'm starting to withdraw, like I did in the Reagan years. I hate feeling this way.
I feel like I'm watching Independence Day, the part where the F-18s fire off the AIM-120s, after the computer virus disables the shields on the alien mothership. The combined force of all the F-18s run out of missiles, and nothing happens. The alien mothership powers up it's primary weapon array and prepares to kill everyone ..
Who, or what plays Randy Quaid's role?
What is it, what is it going to be, that that will finally put to a stop to this madness?
