Olorin on the Real-Life Soapbox..

[Olorin401]

If I may speak for a moment here..

I watched Bush speak last night, acting like some animal that has been beaten and backed into a corner and who has now decided to lash out and fight.

And I couldn't help thinking..

Hey MISTER President, it's about DAMN TIME someone made YOU feel the way you've made the citizens of the United States feel for SIX YEARS.

It's about damn time someone made YOU feel pinned down and helpless, like the soldiers in Iraq and Afghanistan whom you have sent to fight your for-profit war. Too bad you don't feel the same sense of honor and duty to your country as they do, because your only damn loyalty is to the mounds of money you can line your already lined pockets with while they bust their ass and die for someone as filthy as you.

It's about damn time someone like Rep. Conyers, or Sen. Schumer, or Sen. Clinton, or Sen. Sununu, or Sen. Gordon Smith, or even that nutcase Rep. Tom Tancredo, stood up and did what was right by telling you that you, MISTER President, that you are not above the law regardless of how much you and your corrupt mafia of plutocrats like to think you are.

And frankly, isn't it about damn time we as a nation once and for all stopped denying what we all know needs to be done? Isn't it about time we stopped these jackholes from ruining OUR NATION and OUR REPUTATION in the world? We can't go outside our own borders without ridicule, animosity, even violence thrust upon us because of how these people have acted in our names.

Perhaps if we did something about it, the rest of the world might respect us again.

Personally I think it's best to keep political issues to yourself or to forums designed with political debates.

While I will not engage in a political discussion here, I will agree that Bush is not the greatest canadite, but neither was Kerry, or any other person that has ran for a long while.

I will concede that a new method for election in the US is required. But none of the names you listed feel to me to be any more apt to do the job correctly.

I'd suggest impeachment, but as we've discovered, impeachable offenses are only those in which you engage in personal matters inside your marriage.

Impeachable offenses do not include: Lying, more lying, sending thousands of people to death, killing hundreds and hundreds of civilians, spewing hate, lying, arrogance, destroying a region of countries, enforcing your own morals on people via force, stupidity, ignorance, being a redneck, failing to eat pretzels, lying, starting billion dollar wars, pushing laws allowing the government to pry into citizen's privacy, illegal wire tapping, illegal searches, illegal detainment, killing more American people than were killed in 9/11 attacks, teaching people to hate Middle Easterns because they are all "terrorists," lying, failing at pronouncing the English language, spending billions of dollars to kill people, labeling America as the land of the ignorant and hate-filled...

But personal matters within the family are way out of line, and call for impeachment.

Well that's the reason I posted it waaaaay down here in the "Off-Topic" category.

Politics are pointless in our times, it's not like we have much of a say in anything anymore.

Well I understand that it's in the off-topic discussion, but all you will achieve is creating a thread that will dwindle to nothing but Republicans vs. Democrats vs. everyone else.

You stated you view, and made it appear that the vast majority of the population agrees with you. You can only speak for yourself and others that have personally discussed thier grievances with you about the President.

You can not go off polls and media as they will be biased. Fox news will take a right-sided approach, while CNN and most other networks will take up the left-sided part of the polls.

You've stated your opinon, but nothing else. I'm just curious as to what you hoped to achieve in doing so. It will do nothing constructive and will only irritate or infuriate people your are adament about thier political stances.

Just my opinion.

It's that kind of thinking that ensures that we continue to not have a say. Making your voice heard and discussing/debating things with other citizens is the easiest and most direct way (aside from voting) that anyone can have an impact.

Well I understand that it's in the off-topic discussion, but all you will achieve is creating a thread that will dwindle to nothing but Republicans vs. Democrats vs. everyone else.

If it were another topic in the political landscape, I'd have to agree. However this US Attorney thing is one of those issues that goes far beyond partisan bickering. It's tangible to everyone. The Administrations' own appointees are being targeted, based on either lack of loyalty or not sticking to the "gameplan". That doesn't sound like a Democrat vs. Republican thing, and I've already spoken with many Republican friends who are thinking the exact same thing.

You can not go off polls and media as they will be biased. Fox news will take a right-sided approach, while CNN and most other networks will take up the left-sided part of the polls.

Cmon now.. CNN taking the left side? You should've heard Lou Dobbs last night then. Same thing goes for MSNBC, with the notable exception of Olbermann.

You've stated your opinion, but nothing else. I'm just curious as to what you hoped to achieve in doing so. It will do nothing constructive and will only irritate or infuriate people who are adamant about their political stances.
Just my opinion.

I'll say again that any kind of discussion can be constructive even when people disagree. And once in a while, someone's mind might change. Mine has, on more than one occasion or issue.. and I'm a stubborn partisan bastid!

Nobody is going to care to hear your opinion unless they're on your payroll or you're on theirs.

Our government is near to becoming monastic. That's how far removed we are from having our say.
