Is it just me, or has the political climate just gotten REALLY surreal?
Edited on Thu Aug-31-06 07:15 PM by rhiannon55
Talking heads and politicians who liked Bush six months ago are turning on him in droves. Wow. I guess during election season, it's every repuke for himself. I just watched Nora O'Donnell angrily interview Dan Barlett, one of Bush's spokesliars. And now she's giving Katherine Harris a hard time. She usually saves that kind of vitriol for Democrats! Wow.

And people like Keith Olbermann and Rocky Anderson and Howard Dean are standing up and talking bluntly and eloquently about the insanity of this administration-- on cable teevee--in front of millions of people! What an election this is going to be! I think a sea change has occurred and the pendulum is starting to swing back.

Are we going to get our country back? I'm starting to believe it again....

Wow.

:toast: :bounce: :party: :patriot: :woohoo:

1. I don't watch TV, but it's probably one of those "You can fool some of the
people..." moments.

I'm not optimistic. I think our country's been too savaged by events to really "come back." All of the assholes on TV will still be assholes long after Bush is gone.

6. I agree that we can't just "come back"
and the assholes will still be assholes. But if Democrats take back the majority, maybe we can start impeachment hearings.

2. I don't see any Republicans crying, "Forgive me for I have sinned?"
They should be embarrassed that they ever supported this disgrace.

3. Brian Williams has been tough on georgie, too. It's been gratifying to
watch, although it's too bad it took this long. MKJ

4. The "Ronald Reagan Republicans" have emerged.
In Florida, Charlie Crist is running for governor as a "Ronald Reagan Republican."
The only Bush on his radar is Jeb.
"George who? Why I don't think Ah know him!"

5. I am happy for their change of heart, but I will not forgive them for
what they have assisted the regime to do to us and to this nation.

The media is accomplice in the criminal activity undertaken by the bu$h regime.

7. The Neo-Cons are dumping the figurehead.
The purpose of * was plausible deniability. * become the scapegoat while the Neo-Cons continue business as usual.
