Optimism? Yeah, alright.



The Liberals will get to rule Canada for another twenty years (more on that later - perhaps next week, but before the Tory convention), but the Republicans have no such lock on the White House, says Senator Robert Byrd, who believes Dubya is spinning out the rest of his single term while the scales fall from the eyes of their fellow citizens.



But, I contend that, through it all, the people know. The American people unfortunately are used to political shading, spin, and the usual chicanery they hear from public officials. They patiently tolerate it up to a point. But there is a line. It may seem to be drawn in invisible ink for a time, but eventually it will appear in dark colors, tinged with anger. When it comes to shedding American blood � when it comes to wreaking havoc on civilians, on innocent men, women, and children, callous dissembling is not acceptable. Nothing is worth that kind of lie � not oil, not revenge, not reelection, not somebody's grand pipedream of a democratic domino theory.
I've jumped to the conclusion here, but go read it all... it's an excellent overview of the abuses the Bush Administration have committed against the truth.
