George W. Bush has wrecked the collective psyche of this country.

Think about it. We came into his first term traumatized from what happened in Florida. Those of us who were paying attention could not believe that the equivalent of a bloodless coup had taken place in this country, and when we tried to tell those who weren't paying attention what had happened we were laughed at. And instead of healing the rift that the 2000 election created, Bush took advantage of it.

He turned us against one another, and we fought stupid, petty fights while he and his cronies set about robbing us blind. By the time 9/11 happened, he was hated by half this country. And he again took one of the most traumatizing events in this country's history and played it for political advantage.

Our rights were stripped. We were trained to live in a police state and if we didn't like it, tough shit. We've been spied upon, lied to, taken advantage of on every level possible. He took the open wound of 9/11 and gleefully rubbed salt in it, working it in every way possible to drive that wedge deeper and deeper.

He took this country to the point where we don't even trust one another any more.

He wrecked our psyche, plain and simple. And this acrimonious primary is the toxic result.

In my darkest and most vindictive thoughts, there is nothing that I can think of that would be punishment strong or vicious or final or injurious enough for the likes of George W. Bush. If there is a just God, George W. Bush will suffer for every day his miserable life continues on this planet, and there will be grim retribution in the afterlife. And even that won't be enough.

And I hope with all of my heart that no member of the Bush Crime Family will ever hold elected office in this country again. All they do, all they have ever done to this country is divide and wound and destroy everything around them. The levers of power should be denied to them for all eternity.
