Do you really think things are going to get better when Bush is out?

Question

If so for how long. It seems to me that we have a two faced coin that works for itself. Maybe we will get some relief, until things just get worse. They give a little and than take a lot. Good cop bad cop. Until one day they take whatever they want. Because we give whatever they tell us they need.

Please look at this video, PLEASE!!!

Answer 1

no................................. same bs different leader

Answer 2

I watched the video and it seems they just want to use impeachment against Bush and Cheney more as a threat than to remove them. When you ask will things get better, you are not being specific. Our economy is great. It doesn't need changing. Interest rates are low. John Edwards helped the hedge funds cheat poor credit worthy borrowers and lose their money on mortgages, then the lenders foreclosed and are taking their houses. Medicare is helping elderly and disabled to afford medicine. We have no gas shortages, It is expensive, but it is that way all over the world. Who is "They"? Good cop bad cop has no verb. There is they again. Who is we? You need to stop giving with "we". Needs and wants are two different things. Some people need a bath. I feel like the cave man who does GEICO commercials. WHAT??

Answer 3

I was thinking about this the other day. I came to no solid conclusion except for this. We seem to look to our government to make things right. At the moment this isn't happening. This is The United States of America. It was founded on the principle of We the People. Something I shout from the roof tops. We need to stop slapping each other with our differences. Being different is fine. But as a people we need to figure out how to get past this and demand the best from our governing body. I don't know if what I see on Y/A is typical of the rest of the US. I surely pray not. Do I have any specific ideas. No I'm still thinking.

Answer 4

Unless we impeach Bush and Cheney, we will have the same problems with the new president, Dem. GOP, or Independent. Why?

The Bush White House has the executive branch assuming wide powers the founding fathers never intended the Executive Branch to have. Therefore, a dangerous precedent of having an inordinate amount of power in the Executive Branch is being set.

1. Bush ignores FISA, the federal security act that protects citizens against being spied upon
2, Bush pardoned Scooter Libbey, a guy centrally involved in "outing" Valerie Plaim, a CIA operative.
3. Bush ordered Harriet Myers, one of his attourneys, not to comply with a supboena to testify in front of a House Judiciary Hearing.
4. Bush is responsible for the foreign policy of extrordinary rendition, taking an alleged enemy of the US, FROM ANY COUNTRY ON THE PLANET, and then hiding him/her away in some dungeon prison, away from media scrutiny.
5. Bush and Cheney are the Executive Branch who approve of the Guantanamo Bay prison camp. There is no due process for any of these prisoners, and Bush hides under the cloak of "they are enemy comabatants, " to avoid due process.

But guess what? If we don't confront the Executive Branch now with an Impeachment Hearing in the House Judiciary, the American people will be saying that these behaviors by the Executive Branch are OK, giving the Executive Branch far -reaching powers the founding fathers never intended them to have. The next President will also "have" these same powers. So things WILL get worse if we don't address this situation NOW, instead of waiting until Bush and Cheney are done. And to think I actually VOTED FOR these guys, twice. What the hell was I thinking?

Answer 5

The congress and American people, find it hard to hard to understand the impact of what leaving Iraq at the wrong time will bring, is anyone really so sure that immediate withdrawal will not be noted as the worse mistake this president ever made. Is he willing to base any positive outcome from compliance with a wacko untrustworthy Congress, I just wish he had a more convincing plan then the apparent one because killing the one enemy a day and losing 3 of our own is not working. But you know what he may never be noted for being high in the intelligence department.
Edit: he needs to concentrate on doing a little something to gain support for the republicans cause he also faces the same tragic alternatives.

Answer 6

I think the US has too many problems for things to get a lot better with either party in office. I seriously don't think either side could wave a magic wand and fix everything. I also think that the fighting between the two parties obscures a lot we need to see and face up to. Read and consider the following link.

Answer 7

I have bad news for ya. We have a $9 trillion debt over the next ten years, all ran up by Bush and Republicans in Congress. The occupation of Iraq will cost tax payers $2 trillion over ten years.
My taxes went up not down under Bush.
Hillary will raise the $500 million needed to win, Obama and Edwards will not. A Clinton/Edwards ticket will give Democrats 8 years in control of the White House. It will take far longer than 8 years to fix all the harm done America and the Constitution by Republicans in the past 6 years.
If you are 18-30 and work for a living you are in very deep dew dew for the next 20 years.
The good news is that Hillary will sign what Congress passes if it's good for ALL Americans. She will not side with the wealthy and Corporations on every issue as Republicans have in the past 6 years.

Answer 8

We need another Ronald Reagan to emerge and dramatically reduce the size and power of the federal establishment. We need someone with a backbone of steel to destroy Iran's nuclear weapon facilities. If Hillary Clinton is elected she will polarize this country unlike anything the liberal media and the Hollywood elitists could ever fathom.

Take a moment during the day to thank God for the blessings and liberties we enjoy in this blessed land. I know many, many people feel guilty because of our high standard of living compared with the majority of the world. Don't hate yourself or your neighbor for it. Accept it, thank God for this blessed land, and let go of the guilt.

Answer 9

I have to believe so. Otherwise, the cynicism would be the death of me.

[added] THANK YOU! Thank you so much for the Moyers clip. I don't know how I missed seeing it, but Nichols and Fein are saying *exactly* what I've been saying in making the case for impeachment. It's NOT about hating Bush and Cheney - it's about KNOWING that what they've done is harmful to our standard and image of ourselves as a people, and ACTING TO RESTORE our standard and our self-image. As they said, no future president of any party must be allowed any quarter to believe they can breach our expectations of government limits ever again.

This is OUR government!

Answer 10

Mark my words here:

Taxes will increase, maybe minimum wage. As a result, jobs will decrease. More unemployment. But positive news coverage will hide these developing issues (Economy will slow, or interest rates will rise slowly) and after the end of 6-8 years, it will all sneak up on us and a republican will need to fix it all over again.

It is a cycle proven though history.

Answer 11

People simply don't see the truth, but I agree with you wholeheartedly. It's certainly something that I'm not proud of doing, but it's easy to see the direction that this country is headed, and it ain't good!

Everyone seems to think that a new President will make the bad stuff go away. An impossibility when we're facing a crises of special interests vs the people. The people are losing. :)
