1. Nancy and Harry should have been long gone too.
Corporofascist sycophants and enablers
should not even be in government.

2. I'm almost ready to contribute money to Reid's GOP opponent next year
It would be a drastic step, I know, but maybe the only way to get rid of him, seeing as how the Senate Democratic caucus has shown no interest in replacing him.

3. This insanity could have stopped 2 years ago
But instead, we got The Surge, FISA, treasury looting, an economic disaster, torture, threats of Iran and now Gaza.

To those who thought impeachment was "risky" or "not worth the time," I submit the damage, as I promised so many years ago.

As I said in 2001, "Count the bodies when this is done, and tell me this wasn't as great a disaster as I predicted."

Ten people won't have their jobs any more but Laura will have her china.

5.  The Bush Administration's Most Despicable Act By Joe Klein - Time Jan. 08, 2009
The Bush Administration's Most Despicable Act
By Joe Klein Thursday, Jan. 08, 2009

http://www.time.com/time/nation/article/0,8599,1870319,00.html

"This is not the America I know," President George W. Bush said after the first, horrifying pictures of U.S. troops torturing prisoners at the Abu Ghraib prison in Iraq surfaced in April 2004. The President was not telling the truth. "This" was the America he had authorized on Feb. 7, 2002, when he signed a memorandum stating that the Third Geneva Convention — the one regarding the treatment of enemy prisoners taken in wartime — did not apply to members of al-Qaeda or the Taliban. That signature led directly to the abuses at Abu Ghraib and Guantánamo Bay. It was his single most callous and despicable act. It stands at the heart of the national embarrassment that was his presidency.

........

When will this be atrocity be brought in front of the law of our land? Will it ever be?

:shrug:
