Gore Vidal sides with Robert Parry

among the small roster of folks who have earned my respect, is gore vidal... it's not coincidence that i read this from mr. vidal only hours apart from reading almost the same thing from robert parry (see earlier post)...

We're facing the most important election in my lifetime--which does not quite extend back to that of Abraham Lincoln, but it's pretty close. There'll be nothing more important in the voting line that one can foresee that will come our way while any of us is still hobbling around.

This will determine whether we regain the republic which we have lost over the last five years.

The coup d'etat was so rapid that even I, who am ready for such things ... I thought, these people are going to make a grab for it. But I thought, my heavens, there's still the courts.... Even a shameless Supreme Court is not going to back up the loss of habeas corpus....

So, my fellow countrymen, as I sit here, not yet at Gettysburg, I have a notion that this is the most important vote that you'll probably ever cast. Because should this gang of thugs continue in the two houses of Congress, there isn't any chance of getting the Constitution back....

i am nothing but a mass of nerves...
