I am constantly stunned by what Republicans get by with. Between the Nixon, Reagan, Bush Sr, and Jr administrations, we have a mix of some of the most heinous crimes imaginable. I remember reading years ago that the Reagan era had the record for indictment of any administration in history. I do not know if that still stands, but I do know that the republican house and senate authorized in excess of 50 million dollars to investigate Clinton. Please someone, tell me what Ken Starr found. No wait, I remember, and it is not even worth mentioning.
Now we have someone IMHO who was never even elected. I am certain that this administration has committed almost every crime imaginable. You have just named one. The list is discussed every day and yet we do nothing. No one is punished, not really. Who do you think is guilty of trying to destroy our Constitutional rights? Who do you think is guilty of war crimes? Who do you think is responsible for the destruction of our education system? Good jobs and decent health care, where have they gone? WTF is going on?
I have felt that this administration has basically raped and pillaged our country. So please, someone tell me, what the frack are we going to do about this?
Democrats don't do a damn thing about it because "thats in the past, lets look to the future" and "we don't play those types of partisan games." Well, thats garbage. If someone commits a crime, you prosecute him.
Isn't it ironic that the Justice Department just releases the results of an investigation showing more politicization of what are supposed to be non-partisan government positions and then declines to prosecute? Surprise, surprise. Is this report supposed to be a sign that the problem is fixed?
Agreed. I believe that Democrats have been co-opted and have just given in to the corporate forces that influence/control the repugs. Thus in some ways, I almost hate them as much as repugs. I actually agree with some of the crankier elements around here that want to hold Obama to the fire as well as all of our other elected Dems.
Now this does create a problem for us. The Democrats are the Big Tent Party, with wildly divergent interests. This can make us look weak and disorganized. Add to this, the capitulation of our party leaders to repugs and corporate iterests, and the fairly successful effort by the repugs to intimidate us through phony conservative movements and the MSM, the Dems DO seem very weak and disorganized.
Now, if we really want to take our country back, how do we change this?
