Traska, You have a wonderful way with words. It is time for all decent, moral, and industrious, people to become outraged, and march to the polls every election day,cast a vote for every office, and every resolution, or whatever, and work like hell to turn this "snow ball for hell" around. Like the guy in "Network" said, I am mad as hell and won't take it anymore. Keep your posts coming. I like them. ~;=;o --haqi

You don't hold back, Traska. I admire that. Yes the Jeb Bush thing was insulting to the intelligence of whoever was addressed.

Wow! You are so right in that we all are the problem. We have sat by and watched this go on and have learned to accept it. Great post overall, but perhaps my favorite line which is now copied and hanging on my putor: I want things to change, change very radically, and change very soon.

Traska, Great post. I lurk on this thread, posting only infrquently, but read here often. Just wondering, are you a recently converted conservative? Have you been supporting the Democratic ticket up until now? I've wondered how a lot of my friends can still support the Clinton crowd after all of this mess. At what point do loyalty and self-respect and decency clash. To simplify things, it looks like rednecks, churchgoers, and parents vote conservatively, while the Democratic party has become the party of welfare, handouts, and special interest. I truly think Clinton and his cronies have done more for the conservative movement than we could have ever dreamed of. Thanks for your views. MB

Traska, I think you misaddressed your last post. I never said a word about Jeb Bush except that I don't consider his chances for reelection to be very good. That said, I absosolutely respect what you say about the country slipping into the toilet. I even agree with part of it. But when you look to George W. Bush as your agent of change, I suffer a massive disconnect. Now, I'm sure that George W. is personally a fine and decent man. But he is the very epitomy of the slide that worries me most -- the slide into plutocracy. A two-tiered society where the money is concentrated and those who have it make sure that their sons inherit it. The system where you worry less about someone breaking the law than his owning the legislators. And George W., this scion of priviledge, who got a cushy spot in the Texas national guard instead of going to Vietnam, who was brought into businesses by Daddy's friends instead of working his way up, who was bailed out when they failed, who was able to buy a partnership in the Texas Rangers for only $70,000 of his own money, who has gotten second and third chances all his life, even for youthful choices that might have landed a poor man's son in jail, is just not someone I look to fix any of this. He is part of the problem.

Time, April 5, 1993 v141 n14 p15(1) Electronic Collection: A13573578 People: Reno, Janet - Personnel management Rostenkowski, Dan - Investigations Gov Agncy: United States. Department of Justice - Officials and employees Full Text COPYRIGHT Time Inc. 1993 Last Tuesday, after being on the job only 11 days, Attorney General Janet Reno had the Justice Department moving and shaking. She requested the prompt resignation of all 93 U.S. Attorneys around the country "to build a team" that represents "my views" and those of the President. Although expected eventually, the move triggered alarms at the Washington prosecutorial office, which has been probing the finances of a key Democratic floor captain, House Ways and Means chairman Dan Rostenkowski. Reno insists there was "no linkage"' between the dismissals and the probe, which insiders say will continue. < Mr. Gannel, Do you remember when Clinton had Reno fire ALL of the Bush appointed US attorneys? Now we have an opportunity to eliminate one of Ex-pres. Clinton's blunders in the person of Alejandro Mayorkas. Shouldn't President Bush relieve him of his job, or is this too "politcally hot" and he would prefer to "move on".
