Brasil Posted November 15, 2005 Share Posted November 15, 2005 Has anyone been following the recent political chaos? I've been keeping up with some of it here and there, the "Scooter" Libby indictment, motions in the Senate and House, the VP office clouds...I don't even think partisan politics play a role here anymore. I've been Centrist for a while and I can't believe the storm that's brewing over the past few weeks. I've got work now, but I'd be interested to hear your reactions if you've been paying attention to the news. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John Posted November 15, 2005 Share Posted November 15, 2005 I've been enjoying my relative freedom to not pay any attention to the news, so I'm not as informed as I could be. I think I'll just mostly sit around and sulk until the '08 elections (my first to vote in), because [b]nothing[/b] good is going to happen until then. May as well leap at the opportunity to be angry and rebellious and listen to lots of Rage Against the Machine. >=O But I don't see how interesting any reactions around here could be, lol. Not like you're going to get something seriously differing from "Our country is run by crooks, and lead by Mr. Magoo." I don't know exactly how much else there is to say, anyway.

Dagger Posted November 15, 2005 Share Posted November 15, 2005 It's been fun to follow these developments (especially on the Daily Show, haha), but to me it feels like it's already blowing over. The Alito nomination was a smart choice on the administration's part. What confounds me is how Cheney has been actively lobbying against the anti-torture legislation. He's virtually alone in that, too, which makes it even more bewildering. I'm really surprised that the executive branch hasn't backed off it yet, since there's such strong bi-partisan support for it. It just seems weird for them to take an unpopular position in the midst of their other troubles. Rove needs to go, though, and I hope they realize that soon. ~Dagger~ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
2010DigitalBoy Posted November 16, 2005 Share Posted November 16, 2005 If you ask me, we're all screwed and doomed. Might as well not worry about it and look on. It's not like anything is going to change, considering so many people don't really care... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Heero yuy Posted November 16, 2005 Share Posted November 16, 2005 Actually, I was interested in it...in the beginning, but I just got sick and tired of it. Politics don't suit me... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
