are you paying attention?

Bueller? Bueller?

Are you paying attention? So yesterday we learn that the W administration was even more morally bankrupt than previously realized.



Incredible.

And while the terror levels kept rising and the billions became a trillion, education and healthcare only got worse and nobody said a damn thing about how much money we were spending because we were fighting to defeat the Terror over there in Iraq. Funny how fear can interfere with rational thought and reconfigure one's priorities. Fear is a powerful thing, and the Republicans have become masters of fear-based manipulation.

Meanwhile, with Obama and the Dems attempting to do something constructive in this country (as opposed to something so horribly destructive in the Middle East) and actually help sick people - help sick people! - the GOP continues to raise the fear level with more lies and more distortions. Damn, it is frustrating. Come on folks. Get with the program here. This is a moral issue. It's an issue about the long-term flourishing of our communities and our nation. It's an issue where Love can conquer Fear. We can do this. Yes we can.

Could not agree more with this... Great post, and thanks for the info regarding the Bush admin.. had not heard that (though it's not surprising).
