Our Gov't is a disgrace
I have had it, so please excuse this rant.

I have had it with the middle class being squeezed everywhich way we turn. Why the hell hasn't our gov't started at the very least talking about putting a cap on gas prices and subsidizing the difference.

I have had it the absolute poor response to this natural disaster.
They want money from the middle class, we don't have any money to give. Take a billion off the table in Iraq and put it here at home where it's needed.

They let it get to this. Those poor people are in complete desperation. Who is suppose to help! For Christ sakes we are the richest nation on earth.

* responds three days after the worst US natural disaster. He should be on tv everysingle day reassuring us, not scaring us. Where are the dem leaders? I don't want to make this political, but I want some leadership.

Why isn't bush making the hotels who have refugees keep them there for free until they can get some sort of life back. No they don't want to hurt big business. They want us poor schmucks to pay for it through charitable donations. What the hell is our gov't for?

I am sick about this and I am also worried about all these people who have been displaced, lost loved ones, dying right now!

I have a feeling bush is relishing this. The middle class is going away, his rich friends are getting richer and the poor, well they don't have much hope.

Where is our Gov't??? Never mind, I know now, for sure, we don't have one!

3. American born, Canadian by choice but voted in Election
I have had it too. I am even frustrated with the sorry lot of democrats, who seem to be mute and cowards for not speaking up. I voted first time in the 2004 election on an overseas ballot. Kerry sure is quiet on this. and Clinton. I hate Prez Evil and it sure likes the tide of opinion is turning and will the MSM let the public know he and his repub congress are responsible for the gravity of Katrina and the horrible high loss of lives...The money for the levees were sent to Iraq war machine and the National Guards were sent there too. Will Americans wake up and IMPEACH both BUSH and CHeney?
