I will be sixty years old in October and I am proud to say that I am was Reagan Republican. George W. Bush changed that. Today, I don't know if what I am typing is being monitored or whether that phone call I just made was listened to.
I can, umderstand protecting America - but, with GW and Cheney in
charge? No. What we have is what the US Constitution forbids.
We certainly don't need a feeble minded man in the Oval Office who is
putty in the neo-conservatives hands....

One bright spot - the fall election will likely give the Democrats a
fillibuster proof majority in Congress.

May God bless this great nation. And, may he damn George W. Bush to
the fiery depths.......

Five and a half years? We went kept this man is custody and subjected
him to lkely acts that the World Court would call torture and give him
a "light" sentence. "Shut your ass up about what we did and you can go
home".
But, of course, Salim Hamdan may be kept at GITMO after his the man serves his five month sentence (he got credit for time served)because
he is an enemy combatent.

Thw Iraqi government is again working to establish a time-line for the
withdrawl of US and other forces from their country. Even, the Shiite
leader of the Medhi militia, Muguata al-Sadr said that he would start
disbanding his militia if the US started withdrawling troops on a set
time line.
The White House and Senator McCain still cling to this non-sense about
"conditions on the ground". McCain still brags about the surge. Ok, as
far as reducing violence; the surge was a great success. Violence did
and still does occur after this action.
The purpose of the surge was to give the Iraqi's time to make a try
and a political compromise. That is unlikely because of the severe
religeous differnces. I think that al-Maliki wants US forces out and
that is when the crack-down or maybe even religious cleansing will
occur. What has to happen in Iraq has to happen.

Naturally, like every other issue - CNN is milking this story - huge.
But, the fact is - the man is an adulter and a liar. And, he committed
these disgraceful deeds while his wife was fighting cancer.
I think he would have made a great Attorney General under President
Barack Obama. Now, he is political toast. And, rightly so.

I just learned that Senator John McCain has been in in Senate twenty-
six years! This is way too damned long for anyone to be in that position. We need a two term limit. And, lets lessen the Senate term
to four years like the Congress.
I also want an age limit - age 70 imposed on elected or appointed
officials.
Then, after leaving office they are to be prohibited from working as
a lobbyist or have any business contact with the US Government either
directly or non-directly for a period of ten years.
