attention....The idiot boy could say anything and some folks in this country would nod and say "oh, yeah, I guess that must be true". In fact, I believe its those very people that these speeches over the last week have been directed towards. They are desperately hoping to hang on to the little base they have and hope that if they say things enough times, it will just make it true.
I'm in Canada right now on vacation with the Pachafamily....Canadians are just in utter disbelief to watch what is happening in the US. In fact, just today, a few Canucks and some Aussies who are here vacationing were asking me whether there are more Americans that think like me, because they just watch in disbelief that Americans seem to be ignoring the things happening in our country. They said they can't believe that Bush hasn't been impeached or that their has been unrest and anarchy in our country. They just assume that because there hasn't been that people are fine with what is happening.
I've tried to explain that there are many that realize what's going on and are not okay with it. I explain that they just aren't seeing it, because that's what the Bush Gov't wants the world to believe. In any event, the folks up here in the North (and down under) are all watching and just hope there is some change versus it continuing to go down the road into darkness.
I will say that it was interesting last night watching the CBC nightly news...they did a tongue in cheek review of the Bush Co.'s strategy to combat criticism....they showed a montage of clips ranging from Cheney's comments last month about War Critics, to the disgusting comments from Rep. Schmidt of Ohio about Murtha, to criticisms from any int'l representatives and the Bush Co. response, including the recent ones by the US Ambassador to Canada that has created an uproar here in Canada.
