The Gorilla in the Room Must Be Dealt With

Lack of Election Reform Threatens to Make All Progress Irrelevant.

The good fight has been fought for some years now. Progress has indeed been made. There are rumblings of indictments from the Valerie Plame incident, that may exceed Karl Rove. With each passing death in Iraq a nation begins to realize that this is just not worth it, despite the bravado of Bush, a man who knows nothing about sacrifice. The Downing Street Memos are still out there, waiting to take down this corrupt administration. This however, is not the time for resting upon false hope. There is still an 800 pound gorilla in the room that only a handful seem to be talking about.

The unbridled arrogance of this cabal seems to know no end. When faced with the realities that the country was catching on that John Bolton may be involved with Treasongate, Bush appoints him to the UN, in defiance of Congress. In defiance of the American people. The judicial branch of government orders the release of the hidden Abu Ghraib photos, and Bush snubs his nose at them as if they have no right to check, or balance him. Nearly everyone agrees that torture is unacceptable, but Bush and Cheney make it known that any attempt to stem the tide of the United States from practicing torture will be vetoed. Halliburton has been caught over-billing the American people millions of dollars, has posted a 284% profit increase, and still they are awarded bonuses and incentives, as well as new monies, your money. This is all done with a nod and a wink, in clear view of the public because it is fairly apparent that Bush does not think he is accountable to the people, and has lost any pretense of working for us. How else can you explain his leaving for the longest Presidential vacation in decades, as our kids are dying?

Why the certainty? Why the cockiness?
