Bad, Bad G.W.
From his song, to Washington:

Quote

Eight years of peace and prosperity
Scandal in the White House
An election is what we need
From coast-to-coast to Washington

So America voted on a president
No one kept count
On how the election went
From Florida to Washington

Goddamn, said one side
And the other said the same
Both looked pretty guilty
But no one took the blame
From coast-to-coast to Washington

So a new man in the White House
With a familiar name
Said he had some fresh ideas
But it's worse now since he came
From Texas to Washington

And he wants to fight with many
And he says it's not for oil
He sent out the National Guard
To police the world
From Baghdad to Washington

What is the thought process
To take a humans life
What would be the reason
To think that this is right
From heaven to Washington
From Jesus Christ to Washington

Mellencamp: The Nation's Citizens Were "Systematically Lied to and Manipulated into Backing the Political 'Hijacking' of Iraq."

Quote

Blasting the powers that be for demonizing as "anti-American and unpatriotic" those who speak out against military action in Iraq, Mellencamp says the nation's citizens were "systematically lied to and manipulated into backing the political 'hijacking' of Iraq."

"Now, each day, as the dust settles and the truth slowly surfaces, more and more people come to the inevitable conclusion of what a debacle this whole war was," Mellencamp wrote with his wife, Elaine, Yahoo's Launch news service reports.

The singer wonders why Bush can't simply be removed from office.

Quote

"The governor of California was removed from office based on finance troubles. And yet George W. Bush has lied to us, failed to keep our own borders secure, entered a war under false pretense, endangered lives, and created financial chaos," he wrote. "How is it that he hasn't been recalled? Perhaps this time we could even have a real election ... but that wouldn't fit the Bush administration's 'take what you want and fire people later' policy. Take an election; take an oil field; take advantage of your own people – a game of political Three-Card Monte."

You are way out there Mellen...

Quote

"It is time to take back our country," he concludes. "Take it back from political agendas, corporate greed, and overall manipulation. It is time to take action here in our land, in our own schools, neighborhoods, farms and businesses. We have been lied to and terrorized by our own government, and it is time to take action. Now is the time to come together."
