Of course a fox is going to steal chickens if the farmer doesn’t care if his chicken are eaten. The democrats act as if Bush won by a land slide and has a 99 percent approval rating. Well at least his approval rating is twice that of congress What I don’t understand is why the democrats with a little d are going along with it.

I have heard some talk show hosts state that maybe the dems are afraid because of the anthrax scare directed towards them before 9/11. I have heard others wonder if the dems feel threatened as they have been spied upon and the republicans have the goods on them. Others have said the dems have been bought. For sure something needs to change. To start a third party would split the progressives giving it all back to the repugs. I am all for campaign finance reform so <em>We the People</em> can choose the candidate from character rather than the big corporate money buying the candidate. But it appears the bought congress will not pass it. The Shadow

The Bush administration has done everything it can to undermine freedom and liberty, yet they swear it's the reason for the war in Iraq. If the Republican party's hero Ronald Reagan was alive, he'd be calling for Bush's Impeachment too. What I don't understand is why the democrats with a little d are going along with it. Of course a fox is going to steal chickens if the farmer doesn't care if his chicken are eaten. The democrats act as if Bush won by a land slide and has a 99 percent approval rating. Why should be care about the law if he can break it over and over again and the weak azz democrats who are afraid of their own shadow, do nothing but talk. Ask yourself a question. If I punched a 310 lb offensive linemen in the mouth and he said, "stop', but didn't do anything to stop me from hitting him again, why would I or anyone else stop? They democrats don't deserve to be the majority, they just go right along with Bush like the Republican do. It’s about time people in this country woke up because we are headed for a dictatorship!

In their minds, because the main stream media does not cover actions/events, it does not exist. They are quite happy to escape into their video games while this country falls apart around them. And try talking to these younger folks..... because they do not hear what is really going on from the MSM, ones mental stability may be questioned.
