I was just watching Congressman Murtha on The Situation Room. It is really hard to see this guy as a fast talking politician. He is so straightforward, such a straight shooter that you really have to marvel at the Republicans for attacking him personally. What were they thinking? I guess it was their typical knee-jerk reaction to any critic. Let's do a little character assassination.
Let's just step back from Murtha and the war and look at the bigger political picture. America is finally seeing Bush and his cronies for what they are, a talking machine with little substance. It's like the emperor's new clothes, this guy's got nothin'. I wonder what took everyone so long?
Cheney comes out of his bunker to bash anyone who dares to criticize the Bush policies, sneering the whole time. You're hurting our troops, giving comfort to the enemy, he says. No, what we are doing is showing the enemy that we live in a democracy and we can disagree with each other and still be united in our fight against religious fanatics. President Bush does not equal the US of A. You can criticize the President while still being a patriot. If the right-wing felt so strongly about it, why did they spend eight years tearing down Clinton?
Let's also look at the growing Jack Abramoff scandal. Today we see one of his cronies pleading guilty and agreeing to testify against his former friend. I can't wait to see this scandal unfold completely. You know that Tom DeLay and Ralph Reed are right in the middle of it. The hypocrisy of these guys is just beyond belief.
More scales will soon be falling from our eyes. What's left to see in the contiuing saga of Operation Desert Mask? Much more I would wager.
