It's been a long, interesting week. I've found myself acutally thinking (quietly and circumspectly to be sure, but with more than a little certainty) that I could, in fact, support the notion of Impeaching George Bush....not for his War on Terror (that, the Economic Strength we enjoy, and the Judges he's appointed, are plusses to his credit) but for his support of this Awful McCain-Kennedy Illegal Immigrant Amnesty Bill.

This Bill is just wrong...it starts out wrong, and gets worse as we look under the hood. The very idea of giving a Gutting to the existing law of the land, paying only knockoff lip service to the concept of promoting Citizenship and Assimilation, but in reality just passing out legal status to proven lawbreakers, for the sole purpose of (very little) economic benefit.

Then, we have the specter of Bush ignoring his remaining few Conservative supporters, and generally just not getting it...maybe he has had a head injury that's not been reported? He's playing the 'dumb' role too well, nowadays. Time for a true wake up, George, before you find that the only supporter left to you is your wife...and maybe your dog. Is his name Buddy?

Bush isn't the only politician ignoring the very large segment of Americans against this Amnesty Bill. There's support for the Bill, coming from somewhere, but that support isn't from We the People.

Ya know, I believe that if we 'Citizens' knew what little of what we say to our duly-elected 'representatives', or for that matter who we vote for on various election days for whatever office, means to those in charge, we might be shocked.

If we, as taxpaying Americans, had a clue as to how little our opinions matter to these elected bozos, how tiny our concerns stack up as compared to the desires of the huge Economic Powers and Forces that really shape our lives, we might be somewhat surprised.

Well, maybe not surprised, but certainly feeling the need to take a bath...to remove that 'used', 'manipulated', and 'basement-grown, like a mushroom' feeling that we've grown so complacent to.

Look where we're at...we've watched both sides of the political aisle equally ignore what seems to be a national concern and consensus, then we see the Republicans turn on the Conservatives, the Democrats turn on the Liberals...those clues should cause all of us to realize our true use and value, that is, herded when needed, nudged and nuanced when a 'reaction' is desired, just generally kept stirred but contented.

Pass the soap?
