Hello,
I was hoping that we, the Democrats, would finally get a backbone and stop FISA. You see, in this household, we want someone(s) to go to jail for this and for the War and for torture. Somehow, this desire was all wrapped up in this Bill and it going through was a blow, but as I think on it, not surprising.
But what I find surprising is all this anger at Obama. Like with a wave of his hand, he can stop this train wreck. He's not the President yet.
I don't blame him.... much. He's in the Senate, not the House and also, really, this Bill has alot of momentum from Democratic upper echelons. Nancy, Nancy...I am disappointed but I still like you. I hope you have some other plan because someone(s) needs to go to jail for the stuff that has been going on over the last 8 years.
Wiretapping - Well, that seems to be passing us by with this Bill. Let us hope something can be done in the Senate. But I thought it would be a sure way to get fascist Bush with his corporate/government shit. I sure wanted the telecommunication company to have to pay as well. They knew it was illegal.
Torture - Can someone go to jail over this? Innocent people tortured and killed. Oh yeah, someone(s) needs lots of jail time.
Treason - Now this looks hopeful. With Scotty's book, his appearance before Congress. Can we get a little treason going? That is sure to land someone(s) in jail, kicked out of office, shamed for the rest of written history.
Throw me a bone here. Throw all of us a bone.
The War in Iraq... can we just say faulty intelligence and us intelligent people leave it at that??? Who was responsible? Where does the buck stop? Incompetence perhaps? Just outright negligence? Someone(s) needs to pay with jail time. And I am not talking cushy little jail either. People died.
What lies were given to get us in the 'mood for this war?' If many of us knew that the war was wrong and built on lies, how many did those making the big bucks know? Colin Powell had to know. Rumsfeld had to know. Cheyney HAD to know. Bush knew as well. And Rice, she knew as well. What about Chalabi, Wolfowitz, Pearle? These last 3 were the cheerleaders and I bet they have all made tons of money. And Blackwater??? KBR???
A lot of terrible things have happened and NEED to be addressed and brought to closure and I want BUSH, CHEYNEY, RUMSFELD, RICE and a whole lot of other criminals to go to jail without passing go and not collecting 200 dollars. Someone has got to pay because you know why? If they don't, then we as a moral society have failed and may never recover. If they can throw a kid in jail for 20 years because he stole a car...well stole 3 cars, then someone(s) who, allowed thousands to be killed, even more tens of thousands's to be wounded and tortured, billions of dollars of property damage and unaccounted monies and I can't even mention torture people enough, see where I am going? These are very big crimes. Someone(s) got to pay or we lose.
I support Obama because I believe that he will bring change to Washington, but the change we are needing now need to be pushed through by Democrats as a whole, not left on his shoulders. His time will come and believe me, I will be pushing him as well. I am voting for Barack Obama because I believe he can help bring a needed change into Washington. Because I believe he is the best and brightest candidate for our future.
Even with this compromise. I know that I will not agree with everything he will do. It is natural because I am so much more lefty than him. But I still support him, that has not waned.
So... Bush and Co, better not be getting away scot free from the last 8 years. I hope you have some kind of plan Nancy, Harry, anyone. If it is not impeachment, I hope it is criminal charges before he runs off with his suitcase full of blood money to Paraguay. If you don't do something, there are going to be plenty of very angry people (well many are pretty angry now), including this household and I don't believe when our RAGE finally mass manifests, that we will be taking any prisoners and that includes Democrats.
Someone(s) needs to be going to jail.
