    Why are Bush and Cabal not in Gitmo YET???

    No impeachment huh? Bush was not bad enough huh?

    I intend to NEVER again vote for Democrats as a result.

    Democrats and Republicans think they OWN the United States. the US Sheepulace follows along.

    don't bitch that there are no useful or valid checks and balances in our society when nobody wants to follow through and DO THE RIGHT THING.
