5. Excellent point.

What this admin. has done to our country has galvanized Americans like never before to take peaceful action against that very administration. Not just the Democrats, though, although that is HUGE. Republicans and people of all parties -- or no parties -- are turning out to throw B*sh out of office.

It's a beautiful thing!

"we have awakened a sleeping giant and he seeks resolve". Yes, after 2000, the Democrats woke from a daze and now seek resolve.
