It was Rove.

Although I hate Darth Cheney as much as you can hate a cyborg like that. When is he/it going to die already? Maybe an EMP would solve that problem.

Cheney did say it also. I heard him say it and it stuck in my head. I was pretty active anti war. I contacted congress all the time, marched in DC, wrote letters to the editor, had signs in my yard showing numbers of dead, the works.

The "works" didn't work, did they Janet? There's a lesson in there. The only thing these fuckers understand is kinetics. How long until we understand that? Time to get after it.

At least I tried to do something instead of getting on blogs and complaining and griping and doing nothing, which most do. I went into co gressionsl offices, paid good money to fly 1000 miles. Attended meetings. Ye@h, maybe it didnтАЩt work but I moved my backside didnтАЩt I?

@Janet - I recall two turning points in the past 20 years or so that caused me to flip between parties. When Bush decided to bomb Iraq after 9/11 and when the Mueller report found nothing on Trump. 2 Ah Hah moments. I think more of us are now getting clarity on what we've been living through for a long, long time.

Good for you Janet, God bless you! Ignore the naysayers.

If a tiny fraction (1%) of Americans did a just SOME of what you did (contact Congress, or march in DC), our country would be in a MUCH better place today. (I wrote my Senator/Congressman about Iraq 1x, got a lame non-answer)

Well, IтАЩm not a Republican either. That bunch killed way more needlessly and drove 15 million people from their homes or country. Never noticed that? . I expect much failure will come from this new bunch, but in my mind itтАЩs better than the soon to be old bunch. Im not going to defend or explain any fucking thing I did or do to you about my actions, Sonny.

"The only thing these fuckers understand is kinetics."

Having grown up in a family where every single male, apart from my brother, worked for defense contractors, I totally get this.

Way to welcome me into your fold, Ronny boy.

Yer a bitch. Shoot the messenger, ignore the message. Yeah, that always works out well.
