Reply #33: Bush should be held to no less than the very exact conditions [View All]

to which Bill Clinton was held... that he lied to the American people. The GOP/rethugs made a complete puritanical stink over a non-issue--saying that the credibility of the office of the presidency was at stake. Is the office now no less deserving of the same "reactionist protection" that it enjoyed back in 1999? It is certainly derserving of reasoned protection, and to that end, Bush has failed in the execution of his duties... something he swore he would not do. He has dishonored the very oath he swore. He deceived the people when he ran for office... he stole the election and was subsequently appointed by 5 people on the Supreme Court. He has condoned the most unChristian behavior since Ronald Reagan towards his fellow Americans. He has squandered a budget surplus and then turned around and wanted another $87 billion for his 'Lie War'.

What sort of 'beltway-vulgar' things has he done?

Vindictively outting a CIA Agent
Lying to the world about Iraq's WMD
Not finishing its mission in Afghanistan before leap-frogging over to Iraq. (Next we'll be leap-frogging over to Lebanon or Syria.)
Whole-hearted endorsement of shipping American mfg jobs overseas in order to say the economy is growing--he fails to mention it's India's economy that's growing, not ours.
Bankrupting this country in more ways than honor can suffer.


We would be here all day listing the reasons why he needs to be gone.


The Most Brilliant TV moment I witnessed this week
I'm so glad I was able to witness this on Monday's Spin Factor:
"That's the difference... I'm being precise. You're being imprecise..." (cut to c/u of O'Reilley ; sound up on bird, cricket and frog chatter)
Hans Blix stunning the fuck out of O'Reilly, who had no comeback and was stupified for about 5-8 seconds 3/15/05 Brilliant! Really.
