Exactly... That's what made me a Dean supporter, commonsense support of our political system, rather than depending on consultants' scripted focus group-based issues list, which Gore failed with, as are others in the lineup who don't have convictions. Dean talks and acts like a public servant. Losing his brother in Vietnam made him a serious reformer.
Once you start going down a sober Constitutionalist road, these lawyerly Neocon claims fall apart like soggy cardboard. It ends up being lies upon lies, all predicated on suppressing facts and arguments. No wonder officials want to exit the administration before it blows up, literally and figuratively.
The truth appears to be simply that every effort is being made to increase central power, not just in the fed gov't, but exclusively into the hands of the Executive.
Its gone so far with prior presidents that the road back is a long one. The Bush Cabal is way out on a limb on this one.
If they want even a chance, they'll have to either (a)change their rhetoric to including some lip-service for the Constitution, instead of the flimsy excuses that don't even impress a Republican state like Alaska, or (b)get right to work on martial law and distraction of extreme violence and fear.
Unfortunately I think they're looking at Plan (b) |
