Politics - 11 November 2006

Many Republicans in Congress have come out recentley and blamed George Bush for the Loss.

They suggested that Dubya acted to late in the firing of Rumsfeld. That Dubya did not hear the people and only heard once he was handed a clear message in the loss of both the house and the sentate.

Do you think that Bush is totally to blame for the full loss in the election? Or should the repubs in a whole hold themselves accountable for the election loss?

The Republican party waved the flag and shouted "terrorist sympathizer" at every civil libertarian who attempted to defend the US Constitution, the separation of powers, the Bill of Rights, the Geneva Conventions' proscriptions against torture. We have a president who behaves--with the approval of his party--as if he were above the law.

In violation of his oath of office, Bush used signing statements to negate laws passed by Congress, not with a veto, but with his personal opinion. Bush, thus, elevated himself above the rule of law that has protected America from becoming a tyranny and made a mockery of the separation of powers that are a foundation of American liberty. Bush needs to be told that one more "signing statement" and he will be impeached, convicted, and turned over to a War Crimes Tribunal.

I actually don't like John Kerry, but how can so many call him a coward/unpatriotic? He fought in Vietnam and then protested the war. That's his right and a lot of terrible things did happen in Vietnam. People criticized his purple hearts and how he got them. Well at least he served. Bill Clinton (I like him, but he was a draft dodger) and Bush (Let's face it, he used daddies influence to get out of his obligations) never served in a war time capacity. Also, I doubt most of you giving him a hard time, ever served yourselves.

All ladies have the one dress that works for any party. It could also be worn to an interview or even a funeral. Has this been the little black dress for Bush? He uses it for just about anything - subverting the Constitution, fighting wars based on faulted and cherry-picked intelligence, and calling anyone who disgarees with him unpatriotic.

Rumsfled authorized the use of torture at Abu Graibe, and if he sets foot in Germany he will be arrested and tried for war crimes.

Since this hanious crime, he has not been able to represent the United States in Germany.

Could this be one of the many reasons he finally resigned?

Can a mass humanitarian effort be launched to help these poor souls?

Obviously conservatives have suffered a very traumatic experience this week. If you have any conservative republican friends that exhibit any of the following symptoms perhaps you may seek help for them and get them through this difficult time.

1. very tired looking with dark circles under the eyes.

2. failing to eat meals and showing signs of malnutrition.

3. bleeding from any orifice.

4. difficulty in reasoning.

5. unable to make a point of debate. Spending hour upon hour in front of their computer on yahoo answers trying to defend a lost battle.

6. constant babbling and generally spewing non-sense. ( may be associated with all above)

there may be additional signs, feel free to share your own observations.

A life could be saved.

Imagine a match up of Democratic and Republican nominees that would make your choice difficult - no matter which side you usually vote for. If you can't imagine one please don't bother answering.

Thanks!

Is so, is the peace permanant or temporary? Do you know any incidents of revenge that brought lasting peace or change of attitude or power base?
