Still Seething

Because I'm still pissed off about the Dems rolling over for W, and even moreso because in order to have any kind of chance against smashing the GOP into a million pieces requires the Dems at the national level-because it's the only political opposition able to operate on as wide and deep a scale as the GOP, requires that us anti-war believers still work with the Dems

But by God, the Dems have got to get throttled into doing the right thing, as even with the overwhelming majority of the US backing them on ending this cataclysmic Iraq campaign, the Dems are acting as if they're still helplessly in the minority.

What makes this decision even more of a very bitter pill to swallow is that, politically, it doesn't make any sense at all, not with the GOP cracking over W's policies, and not with the Administration being in complete Free Fall right now, beset by political opportunists, formerly loyal political allies in the Congress and abroad, self-inflicted scandals rocking almost every Department, Bureau & Agency under Administration control and the consequences of a President's disastrous military leadership that hasn't yet gotten correct even one pre-occupation prediction of post-Hussein Iraq

It's as if W is not only on the precipice of a rapidly crumbling ledge, but also on grease-slicked banana peels, and instead of giving W a hearty push, the Dem leadership instead pulls him away from his richly-earned political drop, and then apologizes for any mussing of his suit they caused in the process of rescuing President Jr from himself

The Dems gave W a very badly needed political victory, and it's just SO fucking aggravating

A perfect comparison was one made at one of the sites I checked out to see just how irate people are about this cave-in, so I do NOT take credit for the comparison, it's not mine, and I wish I knew who to give the proper credit to. Namely, the Dems Leadership at the national level resembled Gen McClellan during the Civil War, an incompetent dismissed twice by Lincoln for always over-estimating the South's strengths while underestimating the strengths of the Union Army under his command, and freezing up with doubt instead of acting with the decisive military advantage everyone but McClellan, himself, apparently knew he possessed

So, because I'm still seething about this, I'll let the video and lyrics express the level of frustration I'm at right now








Tool-"Aenema"

Some say the end is near.
Some say well see armageddon soon.
I certainly hope we will.
I sure could use a vacation from this

Bullshit three ring circus sideshow of
Freaks

The only way to fix it is to flush it all away.
Any fucking time. any fucking day.

Fret for your hairpiece and
Fret for your prozac and

Bullshit three ring circus sideshow of
Freaks

Here in this hopeless fucking hole we call la
The only way to fix it is to flush it all away.
Any fucking time. any fucking day.
Learn to swim, Ill see you down in arizona bay.

Some say a comet will fall from the sky.
Followed by meteor showers and tidal waves.
Followed by faultlines that cannot sit still.
Followed by millions of dumbfounded dipshits.

Some say the end is near.
Some say well see armageddon soon.
I certainly hope we will cuz
I sure could use a vacation from this

With hidden agendas.

Insecure actresses.

And Im praying for tidal waves
I wanna see the ground give way.
