Our American Constitution was created/crafted to PREVENT guys like BUSH
and his policies...

Now look....he is finding ways to skirt the Laws, or, use the Laws to enhance his Powers, which, as it turns out, to be all very NEGATIVE..

The GOPers will now be known as the Party of Torture. Just wait till we find out our troops are being tortured too. This escalation is a very slippery slope...

1. This wasn't about OUR troops, or THEIR troops, or even TORTURE...
...it was 100% about keeping Bush's ass out jail for war crimes. Period.

9. They would have done it on their own, but each shameful step along the way
Dems have supported the extreme RW PNAC agenda in numbers often astounding.

3. But
It only works so long as the Congress and the Judiciary perform their duties. We now have a one party system of government, and that party is only interested in holding on to power. As we've known for the last 5 years the Republican party has had very little to no interest in upholding their oaths to the US Constitution.

Bush didn't find ways to skirt the laws, he found many willing participants who changed the laws for him, unfortunately some of those were Democrats!

And let's not forget the SCOTUS who started this downhill slide back in 2000.

Do you think the GOP and their supporters actually care about our troops? It will just give them more reasons to launch attacks on other countries, until the world unites against us and does to us what the allies did to Japan and Germany.

Let's hope that we have a better organized internal resistance movement then the Germans had, to spare our country as much pain and suffering as possible.

4. If SCOTUS had not made a partisan ruling: if after that fact, Congress
had not largely abrogated/relegated its powers, duties, and prerequisites to one man in near lock step faction, if only the MSM had been its rightful watchdog rather than the administration's propaganda arm, if only we the people had exercised our solemn duty as patriotic citizens in wholly rejecting the entire RW PNAC agenda in numbers to large to be ignored, if only.... History will surely accord each entity its proper shameful place in history. In the meantime, long live the King.

10. This administration and congress will go down.......
as the most corrupt and contemptible in the history of this nation. All, except for a few I can count on one hand. It is no wonder because they are governing a nation of greedy, self-interested, lazy cowards.

20. Yup, you are correct, but in terms of ratios....only about 10 to 20%
Most likely due to a sell out.....or, groomed to infiltrate the Dem party.

Most Dems favor Goodness/Focus and Benevolency to the Common People

The Pubs have yet to see the Light beyond their selfish Level....

15. Because the fascists BOUGHT CONTROL OF THE NEWS MEDIA FIRST.
Edited on Fri Sep-29-06 03:02 PM by blm
Then they impeached Clinton. They they impeachmented Gore. Then they impeachmented the Dixie Chicks. Then they impeachmented Dan Rather. Then they impeachmented Kerry.

Then Katrina blew back at them with category 5 force - an unspinnable event for professional spinners.

Seriously - they could not have done ANY of this without the media protection they planned for in the 80s and 90s.

16. Yes, and if we ever evict these vampires from office we need
an ammendment that states, clearly, that there will be no political parties that advocate or support absolute monarchs or dictators because they are in violation of the Constitution and should be considered treasonous or something like that anyway.

24. Sooner or Later, Evolution will Force a Solution to Emerge....
Social Evolution is at work here....Either we vote for GOOD, or, we vote for BAD....

Change for the Better, vote BLUE

Stay the Course for the Worse,....vote Red

The GOP? Sorry, its been an awful ride.

The Democratic Party, should they win Power, will be a Cleansing Agent, a Disinfecting Solution, A Breath of Fresh Air....no farting allowed at State Dinners.

Where is the Fascist Alarm??? Where are those Guards to prevent Fascism in the American Gov't??? The Detectors??? Where are they?? Why are they hiding?

This is not GOOD. What we see in the Bush Ad is nothing Pos....all ideas so far has resulted in Fumbles and loss of yardage...no touchdowns....well they tried with the Mission Accomplished Banner but that TD was Called Back due to a flag on the Play...

Poor Bush...back to the Bush league....just not ready for the Prime Time. Even after 6 years of ON THE JOB TRAINING....these Bushies are still fukin up....

23. Not really.
Actually I think our consitution was actually created to welcome guys like Bush. It was deliberately designed(through the use of the electoral college, and other instituions) to work to benefit the upper class, white land owners.

If you look at this guys' policies, it seems to be working out that way, doesn't it? That is if you substitute land owners with say, "big business owners?"

Just a thought.
