THE FAR REACHING STENCH OF THE BUSH/CHENEY OUTHOUSE.

When are the citizens of this country going to demand that the Bush administration be held accountable for their total lack of morality and downright criminal actions in office? This administration, with the assistance of the notoriously right wing talk radio, have done nothing but lie and scheme and power grab for the past 6 years. They have used fear, and intimidation to control the masses, and run their neo con agenda on a largely ignorant and uninformed populace. Whenever one of their many scandals flares up, they manage to change the subject, either by issuing a bogus terror warning, or by accusing the democrats of 'playing politics'. The latest scare tactic involved a couple of blocks of cheese, and a DVD battery charger, along with an old ladys leaking gel pack. This warning has now been totally discredited, but that didn't stop this administration from leaking these incidents to the press, trying to knock the latest chapter in 'Gonzogate', off the news and headlines. Alberto Gonzales, the top law enforcement official in the nation, blatantly lies to congress, and the administration responds by saying that the congress is spending too much time and effort trying to hold them accountable, rather than 'conducting the peoples business'. Well, as I see it, bringing these lying cheats to justice is the peoples business. We are a nation of laws, and as the old saying goes, 'Shit rolls downhill'. If the people that we have charged with protecting and enforcing our laws at the highest level are so openly corrupt, so dismissive of the truth, then it's only a matter of time before the complete breakdown of our system, as we know it. It's already happening. The Bush/Cheney stench is permeating every branch of our government, and when confronted, they thumb their noses at the laws they are supposed to protect and uphold. I'm truly sorry that Nancy Pelosi has 'taken impeachment off the table'. What message does that send to future leaders about honesty and integrity in office? This is a slippery slope we are descending, and the harm this president and his apologists are reaping on this country will continue to be felt for years to come.
