Meh, this is nothing I don't say at least some of here at home on a near-daily basis. We all agree on pretty much all of these points after all. :)
Illegal wiretapping, domestic spying, Libby's get-out-of-jail-free card, rigging elections (in 2000 for sure at least), ignoring whole regions of the world because "I don't like anyone there" and looking at the catastrophic results (North Korea, Lebanon, Israel/Palestine, etc -- what do you think happens when you ignore a region for six and a half years? Things get worse!), the moronic elections-first policy that got us Hamas in Gaza and wholly partisan enemies in Iraq, the 80% right-wing supreme court (that just handed down a full slate of horribly wrong decisions -- see what you get for letting in Roberts and Alito because they can talk nice?), secret CIA prisons, mass-scale outsourcing of jobs from every level of government to for-profit contractors who massively rip off the government, get their workers killed for profit, and don't get punished for it because Halliburton's (supposedly ex-)CEO runs the country, killing tens of thousands of innocent civilians in Iraq and Afghanistan for a so-called "war on terror" which is nothing of the sort (yes, the Afghanistan invasion was justified. That doesn't make bombing civilian homes (when terrorists hide in them) and killing dozens of innocents on a regular basis justified by any stretch of the imagination!), etc, etc, etc... the list is near-infinite...
