The soul has greater need of the ideal than the real for it is by the real that we exist, it is by the ideal that we live

Why wait?

I was listening to Democracy Now on the radio coming to work today. I like to do that, it starts that great big dose of gloom and doom I'm going to get from NPR all day off with just the right tone. But of course with the convention in full swing things are all about the eight year long screwing we've gotten.

What I had to wonder was, why wait til now? Why is all this spying, profiling, civil rights violating news coming out when these people are leaving? Apparently there were those who knew for quite a while, so why weren't they screaming way back when? Perhaps we could have had better luck with the whole impeachment idea if they had?

And this begs the question; "Why is Nancy Pelosi not actively pursuing those articles of impeachment that Kucinich introduced a couple of weeks ago?"

So, my daily dose of gloom and doom makes me wonder why the democrats are only now actively going after the Bush administration. What was the holdup? What prevented them from speaking out before? Something did Im sure of it, I wonder what it was?
Don't you?
