I weep for the United States

[tgnyc]

I weep for a country where a majority of the Congress has no qualms about impeaching a president because he lied about having a sexual affair, but where hardly anybody in Congress displays any interest in even censuring a president for violating a federal civil liberties law and the US Constitution.

That's so fucked up. Sometimes I just hate those bastards. Both parties. Hate the mess out of them.

1. I hear you. Loud and clear.

Peace.

[ClayZ]

2. It is simply CRAZY!

Half the country is insane or on Prozac or something.

[marmar]

3. Fucked up...

is a very good description of what this country is right now. Perhaps irretrievably. :cry:

[Deja Q]

4. That's why you vote the indolent out.

And come November 2006, I don't give a frig who, I'm voting for the one who ain't the incumbent.

Assuming I choose to vote; to say I am 'confused' right now is an understatement.

5. As do I, tgnyc

I look around at the things going on here, and at what we have wrought in the Middle East, and I can't even wrap my mind around it. And sometimes I feel so helpless to do anything about it. Not saying I'm giving up the fight; I'm not. It just that some days, it doesn't seem to make any difference. (But I am hopeful that one day, it will.)

8. That's the phrase I was looking for:

"can't wrap my mind around it."

6. we are out in

no-man's land now...uncharted territory...

A malaise, a sense of dread, a despondency grows as more and more we see what is really going on.

[harpo]

7. yeah, its pretty messed up...everyone start running for office

and then we can take it back one office at a time
