Republicans hold the keys...

Speaking the truth - regardless of your party affiliation - something that has been in short supply but has been a godsend. Democrats have been doing it for some time, but it's not until people on the other side of the ideological line start singing the same song that things truly begin to change.

People like former CIA Operative Larry Johnson, Republican, close friend and collegue of Valerie Plame-Wilson and extreme critic of the Bush Administration for their bumgling on foreign affairs, their scapegoating of the CIA for their own psychotic insistence that Saddam Hussein had chemical weapons, had nuclear weapons, was connect with al Qaeda - all of which were fever dream fabrications.

People like Tyler Drumheller, former CIA Operations Chief for Europe, the man who delivered the Iraqi Foreign Minister to Bush in the pre-war era to confirm the Saddam had no WMD's - only to see this highly credible source discounted and instead the ravings of a lunatic code-named Curveball were given more weight.

Republicans such as Francis Fukuyama, one of the prime architects of the neo-conservative movement has stated that Conservatism has failed

Republicans such as John Dean who has called the actions of the Bush Whitehouse "Worse than Watergate", and stated that we are headed fast toward a new form of neo-facism where 23% of our populace will be the shocktroops for the new Reich-wing of fear and intimidation.

Republicans such as Bob Woodard who says the President is in a tragic State of Denial.

Republicans such as former UN weapons inspector and U.S. Marine Scott Ritter.

Former Bush EPA head and moderate Republican Christine Todd Whitman who has tried, in vain, to proclaim "It's My Party Too" - only to have her pleas fall on deaf ears.

Republicans such as former State Department Chief of Staff Larry Wilkerson, Colin Powel's "go to guy" who has said "I think this is probably the worst ineptitude in governance, decision-making and leadership I've seen in 50-plus years. You've got to go back and think about that. That includes the Bay of Pigs, that includes -- oh my God, Vietnam. That includes Iran-contra, Watergate."

This current state and future of this country is not a partisan issue. It is not about Democrat vs Republican - it's about Fact VS Bullshit.

The neo-con cabal (as Wilkerson put it) has used fear and cynical manpulation to destroy our internation prestige, and our national pride. We are now a country that tacitly condones torture and coerced confessions of terrorism suspects -- not proven convicted terrorists - suspects.

These are the actions of tin-pot banana republic, not the most perform super nation on earth.

This country withstood 40+ years of the cold war - where we were quite literally on the brink of mutally assured destruction every single minute, and we never even conceived of openly santifying the types of treatment that is now officially sanction at Gitmo, Bagram AFB in Aghanistan and Abu Ghraib.

These people don't know what the FUCK they're doing.

To quote Bill Maher (again) from this week's "New Rules"

And finally, New Rule, in two parts: A) You can't call yourself a think tank if all your ideas are stupid. And B), if you're someone from one of the think tanks that dreamed up the Iraq War, and who predicted that we'd be greeted as liberators, and that we wouldn't need a lot of troops, and that Iraqi oil would pay for the war, that the WMD's would be found, that the looting wasn't problematic, and the mission was accomplished, that the insurgency was in its last throes, that things would get better after the people voted, after the government was formed, after we got Saddam, after we got his kids, after we got Zarqawi, and that the whole bloody mess wouldn't turn into a civil war...you have to stop making predictions!

How many times do these nitwits have to get it wrong before we kick their asses out of office?

Repeatedly the Repubicans in power play the fear card. Claim any who disagree with them are "morally confused", "soft", "appeasers of the enemy". In Orange County one immigrant candidate (vietnamese) tries try scare other legal immigrants (Hispanic) away from the polls with threats of being arrested. In Virgina - Senator Macaca-witz Allen lies repeated about his racist past and present. In Tennesee - they've practically put an Aunt Jemima apron on Rep Harold Ford Jr. as he vies for the Senate.

Their actions have been so heinous even Chris Matthews the MSNBC paleo-con has finally called them the Racists that they've been ever since the Civil Rights movement.

They'll stop at literally nothing to retain and maintain their influence and power.

How much of this crap are expected to put up with?

They couldn't protect the people of the Gulf Coast from a natural disaster that we could see coming FROM SPACE!

They can't provide our troops proper armor, proper medical and psychatritic treatment or even uncontaminated water.

They can't protect our children even within the U.S.A. from Pedophiles stalking the halls of congress.

They laugh at our faith and devotation to God - exploiting it as they would a junkie in desperate need of his next fix.

This has to fucking stop.

The best way to do it - is simply and cleanlythrow the bums out. We need to tip the scales and place Democrats back into power - but don't just sit back and expect them to play Mr. and Mrs Fix-it. Ride their asses until they create some genuine accountability for this misguided pointless war. Where the hell did our $9 Billion go? What are we paying another $491 Billion for in Iraq? When are going to talk tough and serious with the Iraqi Government about getting their SHIT together? Why are they forcing our children to fear safe sex? To question Science and Fact?

Meanwhile even Disney/ABC TV has finally noticed there just might some problems with electronic voting systems. Hmm. Ya thinK?

November 7th is just the beginning of the fight, the beginning of the process to repair our honor - our prestige.

There's no excuse not to make your voice heard, and be sure that your vote is truly counted.

The time is now. Stand UP!
