I'm gonna add my two cents here. #1 I do think Bush is an idiot. I also think he is just a puppet, both to Cheney, and Daddy Bush.
#2 I think our government is walking a very fine line here. They haven't really stepped over it, but they are getting damn close. The whole Gonzogate thing is proof of that. I think the U.S. Supreme Court needs to start doing its job in protecting the law of the land at this point and start reviewing some of the recent laws that have been past, such as the Military Commisions Act, which essentially revoked Habeus Corpus.
#3 I think we need some serious governmental reform. Yes the way things are now work to an extent, and could continue to work if there were such a thing as an honest politician, with one big problem: Its outdated. It was created in a time when the american people did not have access to information as readily and easily as we do now. It was designed so that our government could keep the people from royally fucking up the country. And at that time, they were right in doing so. Now that same thing is preventing us from having much say in what the government does. It has gotten to a time where we need to take some more power away from the government and give it to the people. We need a more represenative system of government. One that takes the power out of the hands of the lobbyists, and puts it into the hands of the people, which would also start doing away with the two party system(especially since the two parties don't want to share the stage, and give the independants a chance.) Now I am not saying we need to change the constitution mind you. That still works, it works very well, and it is becoming even more necesary in this day and age. But shit needs to change. Our government is rapidly becoming defunct, and left to their own devices may very well become a very bad thing. Every scandal that has involved the administration as of late should be evidence of that. Its gone past republicans, and democrats, party lines, and all that happy horse shit. Its about a small group of people who are ready willing, and almost able to fuck over whom ever they so please to get what they want. And sadly what happened 6 years ago helped to facilitate that venture.
