I don't mean to spit on your political beliefs. You have every right to hold on to them. In looking at my post, I don't recall calling anyone who voted for any of these people anything at all. So I honestly don't see where you believe I've spat on you or your political beliefs.
I do reserve the right to verbally beat on any and every elected official who lies, cheats, steals, and runs away from his or her constituents.
The 9-11 jamboree has frankly pushed me over the edge. I am furious beyond words about this. While I vaguely knew one person who was killed on 9-11 (a former corworker one of the planes that crashed into the Towers), I have dozens of friends up and down the east coast who lost co-workers, close friends, and in one case, a family member.
I've also had to listen to them rant for going on four years about 9-11 has been politicized beyond belief and for reasons that they cannot even comprehend, after they were specifically promised that this wouldn't happen. Worse, they're still not getting answers and they've had to fight for the answers they got. Even the Jersey Girls only scored a partial victory in at least getting hearings in Congress.
That, and the fact, there is overwhelming evidence we were lied to regarding Iraq.
There was never any WMD in Iraq (I admit I was at least willing to consider that possibility pre-invasion since Saddam was not a nice boy and did use biological and chemical agents in southern Iraq) and our government knew it.
There was never any connection between Iraq and 9-11 (which is what made me say, "Hey! Waitaminute!" pre-invasion when I started hearing those claims), yet there were administration officials that were claiming just that.
Both of those reasons where why we ostensibly invaded in the first place.
Basically, my tolerance for this administration has reached the breaking point.
While I understand what you are saying, right now I'm getting down on my knees every night and working for a Democratic sweep of Congress come 2006 followed by another Democratic sweep come 2008.
And the scary thing is: I never was a die-hard Democrat prior to 9/11. I voted on both sides of the party aisle. Needless to say, that has seriously changed.
I've never made a secret of my desire to replace the current administration.
I'm sorry if that hurts you, but that cheerful little Web site advertising a walk-a-thon and country music fest paid for and run by the Department of Defense has really...it has me seeing red with red tinge on top of it. I cannot believe what I'm seeing. And yet, there it is.
And I'm still trying to figure out how a Gold Star Mother from California who's had it up to her eyeballs has earned the name "traitor" in some corners. And I'm wondering how she can possibly be a threat to national security, the reason why she'll be arrested tomorrow, according to news reports.
The one two punch...it's really an infuriating state of affairs for me.
