I absolutely guarantee

that Bush will serve every day of his term (unless we take back Congress after '06, which changes the math) from now until January 20, 2009.

You think the power brokers are worried about bad press? They aren't. The oil companies posted world-record-breaking profits this year. The defense contractors are raking it in.

Bush isn't going anywhere, because he is still making money for these people. The press doesn't matter. These powerful entities are securing their financial supremacy - the 1% of the 1% - for the next several generations. George is helping them do that. He stays, and the news be damned.

MY EYES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! PLEASE STOP THE WHEELS FROM MOVING!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!ONE

Money talks.....Bullshit walks.....

I feel so much better now. :crazy:

Nor for corruption.

Nixon was removed for political reasons.

Bush too may be removed for political reasons.

Unless we the people get out in the streets!

actually gain (less than 1%) subscribers in the last go round. Maybe they thrive on scandal.

But the thing is, this whole pyramid depends upon an illusion of consensus, upon the appearance of consent, of governability.

DAILY NEWSPAPER CIRCULATION DROPS

. . .

Eighteen of the 20 top papers suffered declines in readership. The San Francisco Chronicle led the downward spiral (off 16.6 percent to 400,906). It was followed by the Atlanta Journal-Constitution (-8.7 percent to 362,426), Boston Globe (-8.3 percent to 414,225), San Diego Union-Tribune (-6.2 percent to 314,279) and Houston Chronicle (-6 percent to 521,419).

The New York Times was the sole paper in the top five to report a gain in circulation, up less than one percent to 1,126,190.

USA Today was off 0.6 percent to 2,296,335 and the Wall Street Journal slid 1.1 percent to 2,083,660. The Los Angeles Times fell 3.8 percent to 843,432, while the New York Daily News slipped 3.7 percent to 688,584.

One way "gentleman's agreements" only go so far.

Who do you think will pack their bag first if the rabble gets loud and persistent enough?

Then I quit. I figure New Zealand might be a safe place to survive the world wars over oil.

P.S. Are you including Fitzmas in your reasoning?

And it's a CRYING SHAME!!!

All we can do is take out our frustrations by blogging... and of late that's not much solace to me!

my heart tells me.....you're right, too.x(

Take Back Congress in 2006!!!

Taking to the streets helps, in that it raises awareness. But the ballot box is the only place we have any power. And I admit that power is diluted by their nefariousness, but we gotta try.

Wankers who've been colonized by wankers?

C-Span caller today who called into this morning's "WA Journal" who said..."We need a Working Man's Party."

The accent of this man seemed to say Texas or Deep South West and he was "short and to the point" with his message of: "WE NEED A WORKING MAN'S PARTY!"

That he didn't understand that we ALSO NEED A WORKING FEMALE's PARTY is regretable.....but WHAT he SAID was very important. I've not heard a statement like that on DU since maybe Ross Perot ran.

I think the "Populist" Movement is RISING! So, I think worrying about the "Power Brokers" at this point is sort of a waste of time.

I loved the Pix of the Koreans with their "Poles" at the WTO Protests. It made me see that the time of the "PEASANTS WITH PITCHFORKS (poles) IS COMING!! The Corporate Whore's Days are limited. Their wealth will implode when their Hedge Fund/Derivative Speculation Investments Implode.

:eyes: These very wealthy Million and Billionaires have to "park" their money somewhere for investment...RIGHT? So, when their many "shell companies" and the rest start to implode we could have a "1929 Crash" where the heating and air bills are just too much to afford for them with their "Mansions" all over the world (due to the Real Estate Boom) and we all end up sort of back during the early 1930's where there was the beginning of an "evening out" of the "Have's vs the Poverty Striken."

:evilgrin:

:hi: KoKo01

peace

I've kept my core, whole.....inspite of it all...always looking for those "peasants with the pitchforks."

:hi: back attcha'

Only a significant pickup of seats in the House AND Senate can change this. I just don't see it being even REMOTELY possible unless Americans -- Republicans and Democrats -- start hitting the streets and raising even more hell than in the 1960s.

neither he, nor his handlers are going anywhere unless & until they are forced to leave, and for that matter, their profits are so obscene they will tear the flesh of any who endeavor to stop them; it matters not the constitution. the constitution is for others...not them. and they are making that point quite pointedly to be sure http://www.cbsnews.com/stories/2005/12/19/politics/main1134887.shtml

George W. Bush has a very rare ability: no matter how bad the last thing he did was, he can come up with something worse.

We recently learned that Bush has been spying on 10,000 American citizens--an impeachable act that carries with it substantial jail time for each count, and he's got many counts--for over four years. While I'm certain that there are a few freepers out there cheering about how their hero's sticking it to the terrorists and the liberals, the great majority of America is sitting there going "what in fuck is wrong with you, boy?"

If we are able to position Bush as each Republican's running mate--if we are able to convey to the American people that a vote for (fill in the blank) is a vote to allow the government to spy on you, a vote to allow the president to lie to Congress and get away with it, a vote to kill American soldiers for no good reason whatsoever, a vote for neverending deficits--eventually some of these guys' numbers are going to sink like stones. When this happens, the Republicans will do whatever it takes to preserve their party--and that means telling Mr. Bush that if he won't resign, they've got 98 percent of Congress standing by to vote for removal.

The Republican Party is a bit like Saddam Hussein: their ass is the only thing they care about.

there's an old saying "nothing fails like success when working for the devil" and while the piggy might think he be seeing his slops secured for the next 1000 years, the dynamic that the gopig has unleashed going back to regan is now creating a furious set of circumstances that demand the gopigs go for broke: george will and sam donaldson/kookie roberts and that george steppinglotsofit asshole from 'this week' were all agreeing that bush has gone too far, he has no right to commit iillegal acts, they're all saying. if this is true of proven mediawhores (the nazipoohs must be scared; for example, i myself, think ever single person who voted for bush should have his/her voting privileges forever removed, i think all mediawhores, including will and so on, need to be tried and executed asap, and i'm a LIBERAL!...and if that's true, can you imagine what the brutal, tony soprano type guys are thinking?) bush has no choice but to try to rewrite the usa constitution, but he's losing his power as fast as he can..
otoh, the entire issue is moot if bush does survive (as geewill and the rest of those traitors finally starting to understand)... the usa will not long exist as the 'big one' as michael moore calls it, and everybody on earth might actually prefer that....there seem to be alot of people helping bush precisely because he's destroying the piggy's golden goose(?)
what's amazing is that the wtc disaster was staged, by the guys who foisted geeb (brother of john ellis bush, or 'jeb') on the damn fools who now are stuck with all this mess!

to find most of what he's done very "Cool." They hated every Dem to set face on this Earth...but they've got to be coming to the realization that this guy they helped put in power...is really "out to lunch" and has failed everyone politically. When they no longer have the "Dems" to kick around then they will start to "eat their own." :shrug: What I think, anyway.

i'd enjoy this.....

they will do something so outrageous (yeah I know) that the repukes have no choice but to turn against him. He's getting close, we are up to violating the Constitution. Pretty big one there. Maybe he's molesting little boys in the WH or something... Just sayin...

If spying on Americans is rationalized by this adminstration, election laws, term limits and anything else the Bush admin. deems "necessary" to defeat the terrorists will be sanctioned. Money and power are the only driving forces these people recognize or respect. The rest is nothing but rhetoric.

I always thought he would serve out his full term. I think he should be impeached but he won't. It'll never happen.

Trust that this will go to the Supreme Court. Theyre praying Alito gets in before that happens.

of corporate elites can defeat. How we awaken the giant is another story...

tried to toss the sink.

it won't happen...UNLESS, we start laying the groundwork for it now. Why not? Every new scandal that comes to light (and the hits just keep on coming) is another opportunity to bring it up. It's not like its an either/or choice between working for impeachment, and working to retake congress. Agreed?

in jeopardy. Their record on subpeonas for this administration is shameful and if that fact gets the proper attention from the media, it may motivate them to do the right thing.

more accurately, unless we can remedy the situation with electronic and/or computer voting machines that can be hacked, altered, fixed, etc. and offer no proof of vote, your prediction is on the mark.

We face in fact an indefinite period of fascism from our government until we can actually make voting a protected act.

Chimpy will remain in office until there are enough Dems to remove him. Impeachment is an impossibility with our current elected officials. They were bought and paid for by those oil companies and they are reaping monetary benefits the likes of which most Americans can't even fathom!

Too many DINOs like Biden, impeachment will never happen.

plans are already in the works to put another Republican in power in 2008. Can you say stolen elections?
