Reason number 2,804 why I have had enough and am voting Democratic


Scandal fatigue.

Everything these feckless, war-mongering, fear-peddling ministers of hate touch is a scandal.

The war-profiteering by Darth Cheney's old company, Halliburton, and it's subsidiary Kellogg Brown & Root is blatant, overt and dispicable. Talk about double dipping? That's for pikers. They triple dip, at the very least.

First they overcharge for what they deliver and say they delivered more than they did.

Then they double bill. If those duplicate invoices are being sent through the mail, that's mail fraud and that charge has teeth. Someone needs to go to prison. A lot of someones need to go to prison.

A lot of the stuff that makes it to the war-zone for the troops gets pilfered by the "contractors" instead of being delivered to the troops for whom the taxpayers made the purchases.

But in the never-ending quest for more, more, more they went even further. They stifled competition and sidestepped public information disclosure regulations by stamping everything that was submitted to the government as "proprietary" which means the government is obligated to keep it out of the public information realm. Neat trick, huh?

The need for oversight, the need to stop the flow of money to a few war profiteers, the need for a Truman Committee to take the a stout hickory stick to the snouts of the war-pigs engaging in gluttony at the public trough...And that obviously requires Democrats be in charge.

Yup. I've had enough and I'm voting Democratic.
