Quote by: saif  It is quite obvious that you are upset more with the Bush Administration, which I grant is valid, and less concerned with actually progressing in Iraq. Although It sounds as if you may be realizing that we have more then a "quagmire" in our midst, I emplore you to take a stand on the issue rather then cast blame like most of our elected officials. As a Nation we must not repeatedly continue to let the blame game (aka politics as usual) to distract our focus from the vital perdicament that we are in today. |
Blame is part of the process. If you're on a ship headed for the rocks, the captain and his mates demand we keep going, you can't just shrug off blame. I've also noticed the right has no problem with blame when it comes to such things when it's not on their watch but far less crucial. (Yes, I do mean blowjobs and not being forthcoming... ah, what a pun... when testifying.) I just love the "blame game" reference. Tell you what. As soon as those in charge admit their guilt and stop insisting on "stay the course," no matter what BS phrase they use these days for the same old, same old, may we can do that. Maybe when Hannity, O'Reilly and the shills they own stop trying to blame the Left with their "blame game..." Maybe.
Here is what so many, not specifically you, people ask when they throw out that phrase, "Please stop blaming us. Stop it. But we'll blame you." It's basically another version of, "Shut up while I hit you some more."
I understand, however. I do wish we had a less yellow journalism, WWF-type environment right now. But that's not what we have and wishing doesn't make it that way. Maybe we should start by insisting all those programs be taken off the airwaves? Ah, but then there's freedom of speech...
Rational discussion and respectful dialogue can't start with just one side. It must be both.
Good luck with that. As sarcastic as that last statement may be, I really do wish there was a chance in HELL...
Maybe when we finally beat each other senseless and the public gets damn tired of it?
Once again, I'm waiting. Wait... no I'm not. Probably not in my lifetime. Extreme political fighting is just too much like feeding Christians to the lions for the public to give up its fix.
Damn, I wish what you suggest were possible...
