Wouldn’t you just like to know the tortured oath they took to bush?

Here’s a stab at it:

“I’m in.”

“And the master led the way
Down to the next pit, the place
Where the compound-fraudsters lay.

I asked the poet, “that one face
Pleading amongst the throng?”
“It props itself higher to trace-

Out your mortal form among
those here delimited by lies.
Fraud. Conspiracy. No tongue

Has he to respond. Bush was his
Name on Earth. Embroiled us in
Chaos. Violence. Ignorance. Please,

Blot him from your memory. Pain,
In compound-form, has visited
itself on him.” The master’s train

of thought…

Look at how many don’t even vote. Talk to someone who is not politically active and it is amazing at their ignorance on issues ranging from the war, the scandals, to even the farm bill.<br /> Also, is the fact if it isn’t reported in the corporate media, it isn’t news. The majority still get their news from the boobs on the tube.</p> IMHO, the majority of Americans don’t care enough to spend the time and energy to “open the can of worms”.

IMO if the truth about the run up to the war ever came out, there would be many members of Congress and the media with some explaining to do.

Fine. Make ‘em all answer. Starting with the things going on during this administration. Then let’s really examine Iran-Contra, The S&L bailout, and Nixon’s spying on his political enemies. It’s all related, a continuation of power grabs with brief breaks in between.

Open the ugly, stinking can of worms and get it all out there. Show the American people what we’ve become, then demand the media explain why they never discuss this stuff.
