After five torturous years, we are finally getting a look inside a government led by a cadre of self-righteous demagogues, committed to opportunism, self-aggrandizement and self-enrichment.

That deafening noise we've been hearing is the sound of wheels falling off the most secretive and autocratic presidency in our history.
The disintegration is long overdue. This nation of laws, separation of powers and equal justice has suffered enough.
After five torturous years, we are finally getting a look inside a government led by a cadre of self-righteous demagogues, committed to opportunism, self-aggrandizement and self-enrichment.
Many, including one-time friends and associates of the Bush/Cheney power elite, have been preaching the horrors of what's going on behind closed doors, only to be shouted down, bullied, threatened or smeared.
Even members of their own party are not spared. NewsMax.com, a conservative Web site, recently reported that "White House Deputy Chief of Staff Karl Rove has threatened to blacklist any Republican who votes against President Bush in the Senate Judiciary Committee's investigation of the administration's unauthorized wiretapping..."
Fortunately there are those who have had enough and are coming forward.
- Someone in the administration, concerned that the Bush/Cheney cabal is violating Americans' civil liberties, leaked wiretapping information.
- A retired career CIA intelligence officer wrote in the respected "Foreign Affairs" journal that the administration cherry-picked intelligence to justify the invasion of Iraq. This dove-tails with earlier information from ex-administration officials that Bush/Cheney were hell-bent on sending people to die in a country that had nothing whatsoever to do with the 9/11 terror attacks.
And even disgraced insiders are squealing.
- Michael Brown, the fired Katrina debacle scapegoat, turned on his former bosses after they hung him out to dry. He told the Senate under oath that he warned the White House early on that the hurricane was a disaster but was ignored.
- Ex-Cheney chief of staff and indicted perjurer I. Lewis Libby reportedly has testified that he was authorized by his "superiors" to leak classified information as part of a plan to justify the administration's Iraq invasion.
- Associates of lobbyist Jack Abramoff, who the White House would have us believe Bush/Cheney barely knew, are telling tales about how the convicted GOP influence merchant was, in truth, very tight with Bush/Cheney. So much so that he claims to have been invited to the president's ranch - after ponying up $100 grand for the good of the Bush/Cheney cause.
Hopefully, as more people get fed up - for whatever reason - or they grow spines, we'll find out even more about what has happened to this nation since the Supreme Court put this crowd in charge.
Let the cleansing begin.
Compare and contrast to FDR (especially in the WWII years).
For future reference and clarification:
Anytime any writer refers to "the people" or "congress" or "members of congress" etc as having been raising "issues", the writer is talking about partisan BS issuing from the disloyal opposition.
Doesnt seem like the Clintoon administration was that transperent.
If we are unpatriotic, which nation (or interntational cause) are we pledging our allegiance to?
I know there are some who support global socialism/communism. And some who support global Islamonazism.
Both ruling systems seek to topple our form of government. But what makes the Bush supporters unpatriotic (like these other groups)?
It's not the wheels of the Bush admoinistration that are coming off...its the marbles coming out of the moonbats ears...they are losing them all.
Understood. The left really are losing their minds. Hence, my tagline. ;^)
Uh, shouldn't that be "indicted for perjury, but not yet convicted?"
What a BARF O RAMA!
Exactly. They actually say "perjurer" after "indicted" back-to-back. They most have morons as readers if they think that doesn't scream intellectual dishonesty.
You have to love the WH press corps meltdown triggering these psyco-pathologies from the locals. The crying of wolf is deafening.

I think President Bush ought to contract a weekly "fireside news chat" with FOX NEWS and have it in a different room of the White House each week. It's time to drive the left off the edge of sanity since they're teetering on it anyway!
I saw right through their lies.
This is TOO funny. While Bush is strangling the life out of the democratic chances for revival, this idiot sees nothing but roses for his Bush hating buddies. ROFL
It just dawned on me. You know that syndrome where some women will fawn all over a famous serial killer during the trial; offers of marriage, etc. Ted Bundy's case was a good example. I'm not a psychologist, but that's my layman's guess as to the parallel-as much as I respect Mary even.
That deafening noise we've been hearing is the sound of wheels falling off the most secretive and autocratic presidency in our history. The disintegration is long overdue.
I'd no sooner debate someone still arguing that Bush was selected/not elected than I would someone who argues that we faked the moon landing or someone who denies the Holocaust.
Bush CLOBBERED Kerry there. It is I believe just the media faction moonbats, that as usual don't reflect the views of the populus.
Bunk.
