Interesting Perspectives
I’ve recently read two interesting comments on the website of Caroline Arnold, who served 12 years on the staff of U.S. Senator John Glenn and is now active in community and environmental affairs in Kent, Ohio.
COMark insisted: “Impeachment is a necessary start, but it will never happen. Impeachment of the president and vice president would expose too much about how the US really works. It would expose complicity in their crimes at all levels of power in this country: Democrats, Republicans, Congress, corporate America, Halliburton, Blackwater, the defense contractors, and America’s most beloved and trusted institution the military.”
Another angry person wrote: “Don’t get fooled by yet more bullshit from the Democrats. Nothing will happen there. Most likely, they’ll do some more symbolic votes, maybe something they know Bush will veto, then the veto won’t get overridden.
“Or the fine print of what comes out of the Senate will be so loophole ridden as to be useless. For instance, Pelosi is running around talking about language that will withdrawal all troops except those fighting terrorist, training the Iraqis, or protecting those forces and the green zone.
“But guess what? That’s exactly what Bush says they are doing today. So Pelosi’s crap language changes nothing.
“Do not trust, nor put your hope in the Democrats. They have no intention of changing anything. If they did, the money bills were the place to act, and there the Senate has firmly declared its support for Bush and the Pentagon. Now that they’ve acted directly against what 70% of the people want, they will need to do some cover-their-rear PR work to create the illusion they want change. All you are seeing in the Senate now is lying politicians trying to fool you in to not believing that you just saw them vote more money for the war.
“The only goal of the Democrats is to deflect the anti-war energy back into their worthless, lying campaigns. They have no real intention of changing anything. If they wanted to change anything, they would have already.”
Perhaps, we should send comments like these to our representatives in Congress and ask: “Do these comments have any validity?”
