Re: Time is NOW to do something

Yes it is.

And everywhere we look we see nothing but governmental incompetence, buck passing, greed, and avarice.

And we wring our hands over a hundred causes a day.

Iraq, Plame, Katrina...just todays issues.

There is really only one concrete solution to any of this.

The Republican majorities are so insular and well funded they couldn't care less about the views and attitudes of ordinary Americans.

There were over 200 Republican co-sponsors of the bill to permanently repeal the Estate Tax, which of course sailed thru the House and would be law today without the temporary distraction of Katrina.

There is really only one effective move we as Amnericans have access to, to stop the destruction of our way of life.

In 2006, we have to break the Republican majority in the House. We must stop Bush, DeLay and their supporters from using America as their personal piggy bank.

We have to establish a credible check on the insanity of the White House. A check that is now absent because there is no will in the peoples House to curb the excesses of a mentally handicappped President. There is no serious threat of impeachment for any crime committed by the Bush administration.

So we can all commiserate, petition, threaten and cajole till we are blue in the face.

It doesn't matter.

At the end of the day, the majorities are intact to eliminate the Estate Tax and destroy Social Security.

We eith begin now to put our energies into defeating every Bush rubber stamp legislator in the House or we contine pissing in the wind.

They don't care.

Re: Time is NOW to do something

your right & everyone of the survivors MUST be given voter registration forms so they can get these tax cutting republicans out of office. The Democrats need to sound up a call for accountability...
Bush's incompetance & arrogance has proven to be fatal...he is dangerous beyond words.

Re: Time is NOW to do something

Why is it only those who don't pay taxes are so in favor of raising them!  Those of us who work hard and pay taxes should not be forced to support those who have no interest in working and would prefer to sponge off the government.
