Post Speech TV: No representation of the 100% !!!

[bejammin075]

On the TV, nobody is representing 100% of the population.

Watching the "news" channels after President Meat Puppet's speech (by the way, why is he flipping written pages that he doesn't even glance at?), I cannot find any mention of the DSM, or any mention of the fact that the reason we are in Iraq is because Bush lied to the American people, and lied to Congress.

If I could grab my TV by the collar and slap it silly, and if I could yell at it and it would do some good, this is what I'd say:

Who is representing the 100% of our 1,700 dead soldiers who were lied to?

Who is representing the 100% of our 15,000 wounded soldiers, with their faces, arms and legs blown off, who were lied to? They volunteered to give their lives to defend America if need be, but instead they are sent to die in Iraq, because the President lied.

Who is representing the 100% of the family members of the dead and wounded, all of them lied to?

Who is representing the 100% of tax payers, all paying for a war because the President lied?

Who is representing 100% of the voters who were lied to?

Who is representing the 52% who know the President lied us into war? That's a fucking mandate!

Who is representing the 48% that don't yet realize they were lied into war? Just because they don't realize they were lied to, doesn't mean they don't deserve justice.

To my Representative and 2 Senators:
Who is representing the 100% of your constituents who were lied to?

On an important night like this, what the fuck does it take to get the people on the TV "news" stations to represent the 100% who were lied to, instead of the 0% that were told the truth?

2. Why couldn't Kerry mention the DSM?

OK, so he writes a letter and 12 Senators sign. I guess that footnote of history is only known in the nether corners of the blogosphere, because he won't say it on TV. If I missed it, apologies to Kerry. But I watched a good chunk of his guest appearance on one of the cable TV shows. Why can't he talk about it publicly on TV?

The president lied us into war. It's striking that there's no exit strategy, considering how early the certainty of war was decided upon by the Bush Administration.

3. OK, he said it on C-Span
