The bigger shame is that it needs to be said on THIS forum.
Going through normal channels doesn't work, but their must be some way to force the issue.
Good observation. It strikes me as strange that many of our fellow FReepers take personal affront at a criticism of their preferred politician. I can say, indeed have said, good things about Mr. Bush. That, however, does not entitle him to a free pass on his failings. Particularly in light of the fact that these failings have a direct impact on my life and my country.
No one has more of a claim to being an American or having a love of his country than I do, simply because he holds office in Washington. Indeed, not the President, Vice President, nor any member of congress is any more than my equal as an American citizen. IMHO, a sizeable number are considerably less.
