[Vision2020] The GOP Monster Years

[Ellen Roskovich]

I would certainly hope that the people would not stand for this administration to be dismissed as "monsters" to be swept under the bed.  We have been watching masters of deceit and criminal activities for too many years.  Lives have been lost, families destroyed, record debt heaped upon generations yet to be born.  I feel the entire world is watching us to see if we have the guts to  insist that these criminals be held accountable for their crimes against us, as citizens of this country, and against all people of the world.  In order to close this terrible chapter in our history, we need to cry out now and insist on a complete and open investigation.  We cannot just ignore this, hope to move on and that the monsters will be content to stay under the bed.

Monsters like Tom DeLay, who suggested that the shootings at Columbine happened because schools teach students the theory of evolution. Monsters like Karl Rove, who declared that liberals wanted to offer “therapy and understanding” to terrorists. Monsters like Dick Cheney, who saw 9/11 as an opportunity to start torturing people.> > And in our national discourse, we pretended that these monsters were reasonable, respectable people.
