I am in a sense on a witch hunt.

Americans need to somehow wake up and start demanding accountability from every politician!!<BR/><BR/>*sigh* I wish I did have a solution...Bethhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04069893764658122257noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11841766.post-1128554929013651282005-10-05T16:28:00.000-07:002005-10-05T16:28:00.000-07:00I don't hope they will fail - they have.

I want to see Bush impeached, I want to see Rove in prison, I want to see DeLay in prison, I want to see Frist in prison, I want to see every bit of corruption rooted out of our government and corporate money rooted out of all political campaigns. I want to see our government beholden to it's people not big business.DuWayne Braytonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04074683871047219790noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11841766.post-1128536366114727562005-10-05T11:19:00.000-07:002005-10-05T11:19:00.000-07:00I don't think it matters how many parties there ar...I don't think it matters how many parties there are, as long as candidates are being bought we will continue to have the problems we currently have!<BR/><BR/>Hoping for the leadership in our country to fail is like cutting off your nose to spite your face, don't you think? We should get on our knees and pray that whatever party is in leadership is the best and strongest one that we can have!<BR/><BR/>United we stand, divided, we fall, my friend.Bethhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04069893764658122257noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11841766.post-1128403415594837272005-10-03T22:23:00.000-07:002005-10-03T22:23:00.000-07:00About Tom DeLay - it is not that I am happy with h...About Tom DeLay - it is not that I am happy with his personal misfortune - I am happy about what that means for the body politic. Believe me when I say I loathe the dems just as much. They just usually vote for things I agree with more than republican'ts do. I am not keen on republicrats from either side of the isle. I believe in democracy - not the two party system - they are mutualy exclusive entities. I celebrate because the republican'ts are crumbling - Frist is probably going to be indited as well - majority leadership in both the house and senate going down. Bush is crumbling too and may well end up tied into the Valery Plame afair directley. Couple all this with the absolute cluster-fu*# that is the democratic party and it spells the possability we may actually move towards true Democracy is this country for the first time in nearly a century - that is what I celebrate.<BR/><BR/>I realy should slam the dems more than I do but they aren't in the leadership. Believe me, when Clinton tried to pass his anti-terror plan I actually for some reason started to respect members of the GOP for speaking out so strongly for liberty and quashing it - if only I had known. Add that they are as corrupt as the GOP and allow business to own our government just as badly as the republican'ts and I am just tired of them all and their fascist rule of our country.<BR/><BR/>If we were to elect people based soley on their ability and not on any party affiliation we would have a far more representative government. We might take more time getting legislation passed but that realy isn't such a bad thing. Haste got us the patriot act. Haste put us into Iraq without a plan. Haste got us the Terry Schiavo debacle. Haste is absolutely the most dangerous force in our legislature today. - Well, corporate money is also pretty dangerous too. . .DuWayne Braytonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04074683871047219790noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11841766.post-1128355871205306192005-10-03T09:11:00.000-07:002005-10-03T09:11:00.000-07:00First of all, DuWayne, let me say that I find it t...First of all, DuWayne, let me say that I find it troublesome that you should use the term "celebrate" to describe your reaction to another human being's failings.<BR/><BR/>Secondly, there are so many problems with our political system that I don't think that it is because of two parties that we are in the predicament. And aren't you by "celebrating" the faults of the party you generally oppose, isn't that adding fuel to the fire of division that we see in our political two party syatem anyhow??<BR/><BR/>No, I think the problem is that the only way people can get elected to high office is to have major funding from the high rollers, whether it be the oil industry or the George Soros type funding, anyone who gets in office today suddenly has some major backs to scratch, and that my friend, is where the problems today lie.Bethhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04069893764658122257noreply@blogger.com
