That, ultimately, is why I seek change. I want the United States back on a path to world leadership, and until we get our own house in order, we will cease to have a significant, positive influence in the world. We need to right our economy by improving the lot of wage earning class of Americans that have been ignored for nearly 30 years; we need to demonstrate our ideals overseas instead of insisting that others "do as we say and not as we do"; we need to regain our place as the generator of good ideas and ideals. Then the 21st can also be and "American Century."
I agree we need change. We have to get back on track.
But I also think -- and I know some will disagree with this -- it's not enough just to elect someone fresh with new ideas. We also have to hold accountable those that got us into this mess.
Yes, I mean impeaching Bush and Cheney. We need to cleanse our government. We need to address the lies, the corruption, the insanity of the past seven years. We need to examine how we got into this situation. And after we've done the analysis, the soul-searching, and the holding accountable of those responsible for the mess we are in, THEN we can move forward with real change.
If we can't impeach this year, I hope the candidates now running will pledge to investigate and prosecute the Bush administration.
Are you listening Sens. Obama and Clinton?
