Bush and Cheney Through Their Looking-Glass

Our warmonger-in-chief is the regime change leader of the world, taking into account his misuse of the awesome power of our military forces to suppress and slaughter any and all in his way; all in the name of democracy, freedom, liberation . . . this is Bush and Cheney through the looking-glass, Alice and the White Rabbit careening around in their own alternate universe as the mess they've caused remains festering on the other side of the fantasy they've surrounded themselves with.

And, they're late . . . no time, no time, no time! No time for the seemingly intractable difficulties Americans are enduring as they string us out further into their open-ended militarism. No time for thousands of seniors and the disabled who are struggling with high health care costs; no time to confront skyrocketing tuition costs; no time to roll back their tax breaks for Big Oil and invest the savings in alternative fuels; no time to increase the minimum wage; not even any time to fully implement the security recommendations of the 9-11 commission.

Our leaders in the House of Representatives announced today that Democrats will "actively resist adjournment" to force republicans to address these pressing issues before the November election. In an letter to Dennis Hastert, Speaker of the House, Democrats rejected republican "assertions that the people's business can wait."

"Though we have yet to receive a response from you, the urgency to act remains: from national security to economic security, from the cost of health care and college tuition to the price at the pump, our country is heading in the wrong direction," they wrote. "Anything less would be a serious abdication of our responsibilities as elected officials."

However, Bush and Cheney have only one thing on their minds as they use the lofty perch of their office to talk down to Americans who are becoming increasingly concerned about the out-of-control occupation; and about its drain on our country's resources, and on the lives of the soldiers and family members who remain at the point of Bush and Cheny's cynical political campaign.

They will have to be forced into releasing their grip on our democracy through the earnest actions of our congressional representatives. Keeping the republicans from cutting and running out of town, forcing them to stay and focus on our problems and concerns, is the first step in pulling our country off of the ground in Iraq and setting it right again.
