Yes, I’m still here. I got too disgusted to post for awhile, but I have been watching what is going on. We had the ‘06 election which went pretty well.

Unfortunately, the congress has squandered the momentum they had built up from the election. They just continue to allow the prez to just keep on bullying them and fear mongering them into submission. Look at the current flap over holding the telecom industry’s feet to the fire for aiding in illegal wiretapping.

What about holding the administration accountable for their actions, holding individuals in contempt for not appearing before Congress to testify, eg?

Personally, I’m very tired of listening to the prez fear monger the American people into giving up our Constitutional rights in the name of security. Anyway, I’ll be adding some more as the election season pushes on.

Here we go agin. Just as soon as someone is outed for corruption, they claim the alcohol excuse and go into rehab.

Latest example is Mark Foley. So the guy was sending all these emails while he was drunk? Pleeeeease!

And how about that guy from Ohio. Seems that was his problem/excuse also. Taking all those freebies from Abramoff while he was drunk?

It really bothers me to have to sit and watch the president having a temper tantrum on national television about whether or not this country tortures people and whether or not we are allowed to disagree with him.

Where’s the outrage? I was brought up in a country that set the moral high ground for the rest of the world. We were looked up to. Now where are we? Currently occupying Iran and threatening Iran. And Bush says its unthinkable that we even question his thoughts and edicts.

A truly enlightening comment on the latter statement is made here by Keith Oldermann.
