The deaths, rip offs, scandals, treasons, wars, tortures, how did they get away with it all?

[Philosoraptor]

The bitter truth is, we let them.

[OmmmSweetOmmm]

1. Collaborators, aiders and abettors in Congress.

2. The Golden rule

The people with the Gold rule.

We let groups like Big Oil and the Defense Industry buy their way into the Executive Branch, where they took control of Government spending.

They hijacked the budgeting process in the House of Representatives and beat down the debate in the Senate.

The Neocons ruled us with our own money, but a new day is dawning. The rule of the Government has shifted back to where it belongs. Our next President, Barack Obama will set things right.

9. If you think it's only Republicans that

perpetrated this massive rip-off, you might want to look again at how many Democrats voted for:

the bailout
the IWR
the bankruptcy bill
bank de-regulation
continued funding for an illegal war


Does "impeachment is off the table" ring a bell?

If we don't hold "our" representatives accountable, who will?

3. media and pundit enabled..torture for example...debated on tv..congress as well...

[bearfan454]

4. The media is owned by the money people.

They only want to advance their own greed further.

[malaise]

5. It's not over yet

We may still see justice

[BeFree]

6. Fear

Like the mafia which rules on fear, so did bushco.

It is as simple as that. Hell, I fear bushco, don't you?

[norepubsin08]

7. Fucking Corporate Media enabling them

and corporations co-opting weak Democrats so that we have a system of economics in which just about everybody is three paychecks away from destitution which makes people too afraid to rise up and speak out!!!

8. K & R

This needs to be our new motto on DU:

HOLD THEM ACCOUNTABLE!

Screw the Party rah-rah shit. It's why we're stuck with mediocrity in government.

[ensho]

10. they spent decades getting their people in place and then paying off

people to do their dirty work.

their operation motto is: bully, bribe, blackmail, threaten and if all else fails, murder.

11. Bipartisanship made it possible. n/t
