It's time

I'm tired of the presidency being marketed to the people like it's some kind of consumer product. We've heard plenty of "new", "improved", "now with god-power", and other meaningless claims. Our government isn’t some kind of laundry detergent and it deserves more respect and reverence from those working within it.

It's time for the neocons to stand down – their ideology has proven to be disastrously wrong. They’ve miscalculated and created situations where American lives are being lost that needn’t be lost.

I kindly request that the next time the Secretary of Defense feels that he has erred so egregiously that he turns in his resignation (twice!), that President Bush accept it. Loyalty to incompetence is not a virtue.

It’s time to end the supply-side madness. Trickle down economics is failing to help the average American citizen and is creating debt that would worry even former president Reagan. Gee, isn’t that what happened last time we spent like crazy?

It's time for the administration to stop using religion to divide us. We’re not all born-again Christians. We’re not all Christians. We’re not all believers. It's time for the religious right in this country to stop claiming they're being victimized -- while they work night and day to end the separate of church and state that grants them the very freedom to speak as they do. They’re beginning to act like the American Taliban.

This country needs a moment of science, a moment of fact, and most desperately a clear accounting of this administrations actions.
