Independent Judiciary
It's become quite obvious that the current administration has no morals whatsoever. Iraq, Guantanamo, Abu Ghraib, Plame, warrantless wiretaps, the suspension of habeaus corpus, abuse of the Patriot Act, and now the scandal over political retribution via firing attorney generals who didn't support Republican programs.
One wonders if it will ever stop. And how long it will be before the Congress finally decides to censure the President for overseeing and leading an administration whose main goal appears to be the centralization of power into the President's hands. This goal evidently trumps everything from ethics to personal friendships. The government has become a paragon of lies, deception, betrayal and politicking.
I can only hope that we see a major Democratic victory in 2008. Not so much because the Democrats are so much better (they are better, but still have their problems), but because we need to see a huge voter rejection of dirty politics. Of politicians who baldly lie through their teeth to the Congress and the American people.
If apathy is the order of the day in 2008 as it has been in the past... well... I can't help but think we'll get what we deserve. ¶ 9:18 PM
