Good evening again, folks!
I wasn't originally a huge fan of Harriet Miers. Maybe, I'm finally
becoming one right now just based upon the horrendous corruption and
ineptitude of American politics! Honestly!
I can't believe that the normal 'Joe Six-Pack' American doesn't find some
problem in the way all of this was handled. Perhaps she was more honest,
and even qualified, to serve on the bench, than all of the left and right
winged politicians, special interest groups, and self-serving bureaucratic
sleaze bags that control such major events in our own time.
This is a sorry, sorry time in our own history folks. How could such
things come to this?
I have to conclude that we actually live in a society that stands for
nothing other than our own parochial ideals anymore. We don't believe in
words, or that words have any meaning. We have no standards to judge
anything other than obtuse soundbites.
This is indeed sad.
Kindest regards,
Frank
I have to wonder whether it is reasonable to believe anything any politician
says, other than, "I will raise your taxes" or "I will expand the power of
the state." Pennsylvania has a GOP dominated legislature that is talking
about cutting taxes back to where they were when the GOP-dominated
legislature raised them - at Dem. Gov. Rendell's request. People seem to
routinely spend whole careers as conservatives, only to switch to liberal
once they leave office, after a career of acting half conservative, half
liberal (especially on spending). Obviously they felt they had to talk like
conservatives to win, but clearly they didn't believe what they said. I
don't believe these "road to Damascus" conversions happen very often,
certainly not as often as they appear to.
