Is it Over?
There were times during the past 8 years when I wondered if the Bush/Cheney siege would end.� Tonight I’m still not convinced.� I worry McCain will win by a fluke or contrived election results.� Pundits tell us the big issue in tomorrow’s election is the economy and that is why Obama will win.� My motives in voting for Obama are different.� It started for me on election day, 2000, and the long weeks afterward until the Supreme Court selected George W. Bush president.� I just heard�Neil Conan on�NPR state that�Bush’s legitimacy had long ago been confirmed.� Not for me.� And I’m not alone.� I suspect the increased numbers of new�registered voters along with�increased voter turn-out�is based in part on Election 2000 and the subsequent Bush/Cheney mauling of our Constitution and our rights after 9/11.� This view is not being reported on or talked about in the television media.� Can the reluctance to report be blamed on Bush/Cheney fatigue?� Or is it the unwillingness of the reporters and pundits to discuss the issue because they would in a sense be reporting on themselves and their support of the illegitimate Bush presidency and the Iraq war.�
One final thing:� The Wall Street bailout, which I’ve written about and�opposed from the outset, is being abused.� Big shock.� The banks are sitting on our bailout money, refusing to lend it, instead using it to bulk up their quarterlies.� It�is time to demand they release the money into the economy, back to the lenders of the money, the taxpayers, you and me.

I totally agree with you on the bailout money. I am beginning to believe this was all a hoax in order to receive more money so that those who are the wealthiest in the nation will be wealthier. THAT MAKES ME VERY MAD.
Love to you two.
