I am convienced that our country has not felt enough pain from

[still_one]

the policies of bush and company, and until a lot more time and damage has been done by them, NOTHING WILL CHANGE

1. I think the Gulf Coast has, but a lot of the rest of the country went back

to sleep.

2. agree

3. Afraid so.

But wtf will it take? The damage those bastards are doing to the environment is permanent, extinction is forever. The dead are dead forever(in my universe). Other things might be repaired over a long time and at great cost. I get physically ill when I contemplate what they do in the name of the people. Well fed, comfortable and entertained, a nation of happy mushrooms.:banghead:

Could we somehow blow up all of the TVs?:evilfrown:

4. Not felt pain?

I see where you're going, but I disagree with you.

Thousands dead, tens of thousands injured. I feel the pain of the families of the dead, but their grief is unmatched by anything I can feel. Misery and suffering to the point where you just can't stand it.

Anyone who has lost a family member or someone close understands the true nature of grief.

Chimpys rubber-stamp congress likes things the way they are. They are in complete control. Corrupt bastards drunk on power. And they want it to stay that way.

We all know how they steal elections. '06 needs to be a blowout for us. The repukes need to get beat so bad that tampering with election results, swift-boating and all their dirty tricks won't work.

Having the chimp come on TV every day making an asshole out of himself goes a long way towards GOP defeat.

I wonder if the repukes cringe every time the baboon comes on the tube.

8. I know what you are saying and feel the same way

but frankly most people couldn't care less about those whose lives have been destroyed

They are to busy with more important things like racking up their credit card with useless junk, and watching survivor and desperate housewifes

It can and has gotten a lot worse in the past

It wasn't that long ago where Africian Americans could NOT even sit on a bus without being harassed

9. welcome to DU!

:hi:

5. It's going to have to get a lot worse before it gets better

It is amazing to me the amount of crap people will take before they fight back... or even notice.

6. The way I see it . . .

. . . the ones that DID vote for him have lives that were shitty before, during and after Lancelot Chimp's reign (they're just in denial), pretty much ignorant of everyone else that's been affected by him (i.e., the middle class, small businesses, colleges, schools, state govts, etc). So they figure "Nuthin' bad's happn'd t' me yet, so fuckit, he MUST be doin a good jawb.

And these people comprise the multiple red pockets in each state.

[Strong Atheist]

7. Agreed. nt.
