However, I do follow the website commondreams.org and I think that they are very much of the same thoughts as you.

More recently, "our party's" complete "lack of courage" in the face of Bush's nominees to the Supreme Court has left the most bitter taste, one that will stay with us long after Bush's second term comes to it's end. I wrote to "our party's" leaders then, imploring them to take a stand on these vital nominations. Nominations that will change the lives of many younger generations to come. Feigned resistance was all they demonstrated. I've been left thinking over and over, do they truly believe in anything beyond the expediency of their next re-election. When will they step up for what matters?<BR/><BR/>SharronAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2996513531142597091.post-9851407786310420672008-01-15T19:25:00.000-06:002008-01-15T19:25:00.000-06:00P.This Canadian is very proud of you.

I have reached the point when I have to turn the sound down when Bush appears on TV! Like Kate I would love to travel but the threat of terrorism frightens me. Bush has caused more fear and terror in the world than any other man. The weapons of mass destruction were a disgusting excuse to cause "Hell on Earth" in someone elses country. I haven't yet heard an American praise him and so who on earth voted for this mad man? I am going to have to sit down and meditate just to recover from the very image of him in my mind.........!!

Over 70% of the public disagrees with the current administration's Iraq "policy". However, few want to look unpatriotic after what was done to us on 9/11/01, so we acquiesce. Good people do not want to oppose a war being fought to combat "terrorism", for that would imply that they support the terrorists, and who wants to do that? Thus, millions of citizens are afraid to speak out, thereby allowing themselves to be manipulated by the few who stand to benefit from this, or any, war. The masses have always been used in this manner. Hopefully, in the privacy of the voting booth, Americans will finally be able to vent their frustrations.<BR/><BR/>My deepest sympathy to your husband and his friend's family for their tremendous loss.

We are now on a first name basis with our Representative, who seems to read his mail and even returns phone calls. This due to the fact that we've been very active in telling him our thoughts since he was elected, and we have convinced him that he will be earning our support every two years. <BR/><BR/>So don't despair, some of them DO listen. <BR/><BR/>Gussie's MuzzerGushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00472218089802792460noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2996513531142597091.post-63761555084256599152008-01-13T16:18:00.000-06:002008-01-13T16:18:00.000-06:00Thank you for standing up and speaking your mind. ...Thank you for standing up and speaking your mind. So many people seem to think that it's okay to have this go on, "because we're safer for it." I don't feel safer - I would never travel overseas now, I can never experience the rest of the world because, thanks to George and Co. I could be hated and hurt. (Yes, I realize that could have happened before they got into the White House, but not so much as now.) I have enjoyed your posts of poignant words, your posts of funny words, and I truly appreciate your posts of truthful words. I'm paraphrasing a bit, but "Stand and speak, even if your voice quavers" - it's the right thing to do.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2996513531142597091.post-4094118715952891842008-01-13T14:39:00.000-06:002008-01-13T14:39:00.000-06:00Bravo!
