Things Will Only Get Worse
Okay, I think I'm ready for a good political rant. It's been about three weeks since that so-called "election," and I'm finally starting to lose hope that proof will emerge showing that the election was rigged. I was so depressed in the first couple of weeks afterwards, but I'm gradually coming back to my normal cynical self. It just blows my mind that so many people could vote for the worst, most incompetant president we have ever had.What do we have to look forward to? Well, let's take a look at what's happened in the last few weeks. We've ravaged the city of Falluja in a battle that was postponed since April because of fears that American casualties might make people decide not to vote for Bush. As it turns out, most of the bad guys fled and were off spreading violence across Iraq.
The terrorists also got a new recruiting poster with that marine spraying bullets into the head of an unarmed Iraqi (hey, I know, it's a war, and that stuff happens. But when it happens on camera for the world to see, it only fuels the hatred that the world has for America). We can expect that things will not be getting any better as a result of this operation.
We've got Gonzales, the torture guy , taking over for Asscroft as Attorney General. You all remember Gonzales, he's the guy who's legal opinions brought us the prisoner abuse scandal. And speaking of Abu Ghraib, I saw a CNN special on Donald Rumsfeld last night that said he took full responsibility for Abu Ghraib. Um, excuse me? Just saying that you take responsibility isn't enough, there has to be consequences. He should have been forced to resign for instituting policies of torture and hurting America's credibility on human rights in the world.
We've lost the impotent Colin Powell as Secretary of State and have gained Bush's lapdog Cunnilingus Rice (thanks to Chapelle Show for the name). Bush is surrounding himself with the same yes men (and women) who's policy failures have made the last four years a nightmare. Condi is a professional liar, and she is now our face to the world.
God, the list is too long to go on with right now. We can look forward to drilling for oil in Alaska, privatizing social security, losing overtime, falling into poverty, reinstating the draft for Emperor Bush's next war...it just goes on and on. It's all very disturbing to think about.
...more to come...
