a leak

i want to withhold judgment, but if this karl rove stuff turns out to be real, even if it isn't part of some elaborate web of lies to con the american people into supporting the war in iraq (though i think it is), then bush has a lot of answering to do. my fear is that he won't fire karl rove, that he won't even declassify him. my fear is that ever since bush has been in office he has been intent on undermining democracy and freedom for personal gain for himself and his cronies. whatever he might tell you, his actions point to that goal rather than any real direction and support for the american people. this president has done more to hurt our nation's image worldwide, and to undermine our confidence in government, and to unravel decades of health, environment, and fiscal advancement, than any president before him. it scares me that the american people elected this clown, and it scares me even more that who they elect next won't be any better. in fact, he'll probably be more egocentric and thus more destructive. the republicans are destroying america and they don't care.
