Already he's the least popular President ever and Little George the Impaler's reign of terr'r has nearly 9 months to go. Once his trials begin, he'll hold the title for 1.000 years

"Because Bin Laden was never anything more than an imaginary "boogeyman" invented by BOOOsh, Inc. as a useful propaganda tool, fool."

I was unaware, though I should have been, how out of touch with reality your statements really are. (I'm speaking to the author of the statement above.) Now I see the real pointlessness of further comment.

If Bin Laden was a bona fide boogeyman, then why have the neocons been less than interested in securing our borders?

If he is a bona fide boogeyman, then why does Bush say that he is not interested in Bin Laden, and why are Republicans not concerned about Bush's statement?

If he is a bona fide boogeyman, they why does he still have sanctuary while our troops are bogged down in Iraq?

Bush, Cheney, Wolfowitz, Chertoff, Feith, Addington, Rummy,

Rice, Rove, Libby, Gonzales, Hadley, Bremer and more are

all guilty of war crimes and despite what the fascist enablers

will claim, they are subject to the World's Court at the Hague.

Claiming that Americans are above the law because we say

we are is only effective as long as the current government is

going to back that weak & unlawful, power based argument.

Once we agree as a people that we will honor a war crimes

tribunal's subpoena, they can and will be sent to stand trial.

You are right but you forget the fatal loophole: All the more reason to avoid those charges of war crimes by declaring martial law and cancelling the elections. That seems so far fetched that it sounds absurd, but this whole nightmare has been absurd. My instincts tell me that Israel will cause more trouble with Iran ..they're fabulously experienced at false flags.Hope I'm wrong.

"Our party must be the party of the individual. It must not sell out the individual to cater to the group. No greater challenge faces our society today than ensuring that each one of us can maintain his dignity and his identity in an increasingly complex, centralized society."

And yet your little fuhrer and your party sold out hundreds of thousands of individual lives for the sake of political power and war profits for a small group of soulless opportunists.

Yet Congress has failed to do the will of the people by impeaching this psychotic, sociopathic imbecile. Guess we could say that this is also the most unpopular Congress in modern history. But, let's be honest. Bush is not the most unpopular in modern history -- he's the most unpopular in history, EVER!

So how in the world can McSame be getting any numbers in the polls? He's a product of the exact same ideological industry that foisted Bush on us. The same policies aren't going to get us anything different.

Even worse, McCain's two previous generation males were admirals. He not only fits the same idological product as Bush he is also militarily formed. If you only know military, the solution to every problem is a war...He's a sick dude that needs to be kept as far away from power as possible.

It is possible that the opposition of Adm. Fallon to Bush's madness has prevented the U.S. from bombing Iran before now. There actually are a number of high ranking military who are shocked at what Bush has and is doing. However, Bush has been very careful to pick and promote only those who will do his bidding.

This is very depressing. I am depressed because it means that there are 28 % of this population that are psychotic enough to really think he is doing a good job. This means that these people are really sick. In addition and at the beginning of GW's first term he received an 80 % approval rating. This depresses me also because I can't believe that the latter 50 % are all that stupid.

Hence on the flip side it would mean that we might have to construct mental health facilities for the bottom 28 % and I am not sure what we can do for the rest of the 50 % that made up the original 80 %.

So if only 50 % of the electorate participated in this election to endorse the constitution and the laws and the rest of the mucky stuff that goes with governance and the election of GW then I guess it is a little less depressing that we are only looking at a smaller percentage of people that are really dumb. This is a good sign.

50% of the people are functionallty illiterate in civics and social science.

If you have even a remedial understanding of civics you should not have voted for Bush in 2004, and probably not have voted for him in 2000.

American people are just ignorant suckers. We deserve the government we got.

What we got is a train wreck.

Those 28 percenters are most likely Limbaugh/Hannity radio listeners.
They rule the airwaves in the smaller areas because that is the only thing
that's on the radio.
In a fair world, the FCC would open up more frequencies for public broadcasting
and level out with the corporations.
But f*ck fair.

MODERN history? Gimmie a break! Both Arriana and myself were at least teenagers when Nixon resigned. He was down at around 23%. Modern History is modern when people who are old enough to remember are below retirement age. Nixon is modern history. Hell, JFK and LBJ are modern history!

Say what you will about Bush Jr, but dammit, Nixon is still modern history!

That is why the bush crime family has bought thousands of acres in Paraguay. That way he will be able to fight extradition when he is charged for war crimes. Blackwater also has one of their largest training bases in Paraguay, and, it sits right next to the bush property. Imagine that......­.We will hunt you and your treasonous supporters to the ends of the earth MR. bush. We will hunt you like the Nazis were hunted after WWII. You are a disease who was thrust upon humanity Mr. bush, and, "We" are going to remove you, and your supporters from society. We are going to have trials, we are going to find out just what you and your supporters have done. Then we will treat you, Mr. bush, and your supporters just like we have treated any other criminal who has committed crimes against humanity.

Another question would be for how long will Paraguay protect Bush after he's indicted by the World Court for war crimes? World pressure, including embargoes under UN resolutions will pit a lot pf pressure on a tiny nation with few resources. How much suffering will the Paraguayans endure for Bush? I'll bet it won't take much for them to first throw out their own president before ejecting our ex.

I loathe Bush more every day. He and Cheney are complete monsters. Gas was $1.40 a gallon when they were, uh, "installed­." Now it's $4 a gallon. But that's what happens when you put two oil men in office -- they take care of their oil friends, and themselves.

November can't come fast enough.

This would have happened eventually, in about twenty years or so. Little Georgy and his puppetmaster made it happen in only seven.
