How is what Musharraf's doing any DIFFERENT from what Bush and company has been doing for the last 7 years?
Media censorship/intimidation
outright secrecy
continued violation of our constitutional rights
stacking the SC in Bush's favor
Putting the WH on a dictactorship footing
indefinite detention without trial or charge
rendition flights
spying on Americans illegally
torture
Tell me I'm wrong.
TELL ME that this *isn't* similar?
What do you think is going to happen if we get hit again by another terrorist attack?
It would be a GOP wet dream: Suspension of our own constitution and imposing military rule.
What's going on in Pakistan is just a preview of what the hardliner Republicans *want* for our country.
Either now or in the future. But democracy--as we know it--has been dead since Bush took office.

Bush has ruined our country. He has turned us against each other, divided us to an extent that nothing in past history ever has.
He has turned neighbor against neighbor, father against son, race against race. He has usurped the Constitution, fouled the media, lied to all of us - and continues to lie. He and his equally corrupt vice president and administration has thrown our freedom and democracy out the window....
He truly believes he is supreme dictator. He truly believes he can do whatever he wants...and so far, he has.
Our wimpy, chicken hearted Congress go along with him.
Unless we, the people, get our heads our of our butts and vote ALL of these people OUT, we are headed for armed rebellion. Unless we, the people, get MAD and say NO MORE, we will find ourselves a third rate country overrun by the nutcases that thrive in our country. We will have no freedoms.
We have gone from the leader of the free world in every aspect, to a country that cannot support itself, depends upon third world countries for all of our products (many of those products are dangerous and are killing us). We are not self-sufficient anymore but depend upon others to feed and clothe us. We are so far in debt to countries that wish us evil that if they ever call in their loans, we will no longer exist as a free country but will be owned, lock stock and barrel by the Arab world, the Chinese, Indonesians.
Bush is responsible for the end of democracy and freedom in our beloved country - while we stand by an do nothing.
Where is the anger? Why are the streets not filled in protest? Why are we not in front of the White House and Capitol by the millions demanding the ouster of this madman?
We will never be the same again.
To those who still support that mental midget, I say this. You are all ignorant of history, ignorant of politics. You are blind and without knowledge. You don't read, you don't listen, you don't pay any attention beyond your own immediate needs. You are shameful and are not true Americans. You would have fit right in with the policies of Germany in the 1930's or in Stalinist Russia through the 40's and 50's. You will pay dearly in the end for your folly.

No. I AM telling you no, it is no where similar!
We do not have a dictatorship in this country. Our Constitution Has NOT been violated. The media is NOT being intimidated. Blah Blah Blah
Get a grip.... Bush isn't popular with YOU because you probably believe he stole the election way back in 2000.
You know if Gore had of aggreed to Bushes initial suggestion at counting the votes, Gore would have won the election. It was Gore who insisted on a vote for vote, hand inspected recount. so give it a rest...

In fact, Musharraf's explanation for his action sounds like a Bush speech; that it's necessary in order to stop the Islamic extremist terrorists.
I would think that stopping the terrorists would mean sending the military to the northwest to kill them. How does ending freedom kill terrorists?
Is there a force field surrounding northwest Pakistan? Many freedoms lost in many countries, and many civilians killed while Al Qaeda throws rocks at U.S. forces across the Afghanistan/ Pakistan border and laughs.

this is much more blatant than what Bush has done...
but this does make a joke out of the "Pakistan is an elected government" joke that Republicans love to go on and on about...
God forbid we bother the sovereignty of a blatant dictator to get a mass murderer... right?

you are perfectly right.
this explains why bush befriends musharaf.
birds of a feather stick together.
bush is the worst president ever.
he has caused an intensification of terrorism.
he has increased the enemies of the american system.
the americans are victims of this man.
americans are wonderful, but the world doesnt see anyone except the great bush .

yes, it is a GOP dream. the reason they're so upset about it is because they're jealous.
just wait till bush's executive directive 51 is put in effect. GOPers will think Christmas came early. (directive 51 would basically make bush dictator indefinitely if any sort of "catastrophe" anywhere in the world occurs")

Because Bush never did anything like that. Get your head out of your ***! You liberals are nothing more than left wing apologists for the terrorists. You'd rather support a terrorist that does not don a military uniform, instead dresses in civilian clothing and kills innocent civilians, than support our valiant soldiers! These terrorist pigs do not even deserve a trial, but they deserve any torture sent their way!
