Critical Mass: It is Time for George W. Bush to Resign or Congress to Act

George W. Bush is a disaster on a scale never before known to an American Presidency. The President has willfully undermined the freedoms and liberties of the American people; he has abused the Constitution; he is dismissive of the will of the people; he floundered pitifully while New Orleans literally dissolved; through utter incompetence and stupidity, he bungled the aftermath of Hurricane Katrina; he has mismanaged and lost two wars; he has undermined American democracy; and both he and his administration have bankrupted -- morally and financially -- the peoples' government. It is time now, either for George W. Bush and his administration to resign or Congress to act.

All of this, of course, says nothing of the hell and chaos that he has unleashed upon an unsuspecting and undeserving planet. George W. Bush's asinine refusal to address global warming has endangered the world; his ignorance, dishonesty, and stubbornness have thrown the entire Middle East into a bloody fit of death, destruction, and constant turmoil; his obsessive preoccupation with "bringing freedom" to the Middle East -- code for securing the oil -- has allowed Africa, most specifically Somalia, to grow into a tinderbox on the brink of erupting into an inferno, i.e. the entire Horn of Africa is about to explode into conflict; and the President's policies have ensured that no citizen of the world, not even Americans, are beyond the reach of his global network of secret prisons and torture . It has moved well beyond the obvious - George W. Bush and his entire administration must either leave office or be removed from power.

George W. Bush and his administration as a whole, most specifically Dick Cheney, are a menace not only to the American Republic, but, too, the whole world. It all started with, perhaps, history's most diabolical and disastrous set of lies. Here we address, of course, the lies and fairytales told that led to the invasion of Iraq. From the invasion of Iraq grew the roots of Middle East bedlam and instability; the inability for America to "take care of our own" in New Orleans and across the country; a paranoid and secretive government that needed to subvert the Constitution in order to keep hidden their barbarous and KGB-like tactics at Abu Ghraib; and crippling deficits that were created in order to fund their never-ending war.

1. Sure seems like "Critical Mass" has been reached given what's been

going on since the Election. ISG Report is ignored, BFEE is now open going against those who are critical of them in just writing editiorials to say nothing of the campaign against whistleblowers. Clamp downs recommended by his merry band of supporters like Gingrich and Eliot Cohen and in general he takes a stick and pokes it in the American People and Congresses eyes.

Don't know how long we can go on like this. I can't even read most of the stuff that's going on because there's too much. No one seems to be able to stop them. They are totally out of control and the MSCorporate Media including C-Span seems to be aiding and abetting them even MORE than they have already.

I've never seen anything like this with any President who was so far down in Polls and we've never had an administration with so much blood on their hands and criminal activity exposed who doesn't seem to give a damn.

:shrug: This should have been a great holiday time for us Dems...finally out of the wilderness....but instead it seems worse this year...and that's saying alot given the other years since they stole the election of 2000 and '04.

2. I just have to have faith that fur's going to fly come January; the

thought of seeing Pelosi, Waxman, Leahy, et al., in action gives me hope.

3. Wo-o-o-o-o-o-uldn't it Be Lo-ver-ly?

Would be nice, but I wouldn't expect much from this group, the Flee-From-Censure "Dems". Unless millions take to the streets with torches and pitchforks, or the Rethugs start impeachment (the latter being much more likely), the "Dems" will be in terminal "keepin' our powder dry, keepin' our powder dry" mode.

5. A day without Manny is a day without sunshine, and here you are,

spreading your hope for the Dem party again! :rofl:

6. Hey - I'd Like Nothing Better Than To Be Utterly Wrong

But I see no evidence that this group is, by-and-large, anything other than a flock of craven, self-absorbed triangulators. A few are good, but have been marginalized, e.g., Feingold and Conyers. A few of the ones coming in seem like they'll be good. But the vast bulk have fled from carrying out even their most basic duties.

Do you see any evidence otherwise?

7. I will wait with hopeful optimism for the likes of Waxman and

Leahy to call this admin into account. And there will be more. Keep the faith!
