Time to identifying the Republicans
who are working with the Democrats to hold Bush accountable for the following:



Destroying America's health care system
Trying to steal Social Security
Leaving every child behind
Outsourcing jobs
Outsourcing national security
Putting the nation at risk
Pushing the Alternative Minimum Tax on Americans
Turning oil industry royalties into subsidies
Spending $500,000,000 on the Iraq war
Falsifying WMD information
Continuing an illegal war in Iraq
Failing to deal effectively with the Middle East peace process
Pushing a failed foreign policy that resulted in a win for Hamas
Leaking the name of a CIA agent -- Plame outing
Supporting Republican gerrymandering (Republican version of election reform---create districts in which it’s no longer necessary to suppress the African American vote at the polls)
Stonewalling real election reform
Sanctioning torture
Illegally spying on American
Trying to avert blame for the Bush administration's incompetent response to Katrina
Appointing cronies at every level and in every branch of government
Lying about dealings with Abramoff and other criminals
Allowing Halliburton to rip off tax payers
Obstructing Congressional oversight
Enabling a dictatorial-style government in America
Endorsing payola
Other law-breaking and unethical activities





Which one of the 55 Republicans in the Congressional majority is holding Bush accountable and conducting the appropriate oversight? A Democratic filibuster can't be attempted on every bill, and every up-and-down vote to hold Bush accountable will require Republican cooperation. Every vote in every Senate Committee will require Republican cooperation. The Republicans control the Congress.

Come to think of it, most of the assholes in the media and those who are disillusioned for supporting Bush should have thought about the crooked lying evil bastard they returned to the WH and the crooked lying bastard Republican that they let sell them a steaming pile.


It's Ironic, the Democratic bashers claim the Democrats are out of sync giving the most incompetent WH dweller in history free reign, but they turn around and write articles propping up the idiot. They know full well that Bush is an incompetent moron, that the Democrats have little legislative power, and the Republican traitors are the ones giving him free reign.

Controlling the WH and Congress shouldn't mean failure wins. Sensible, responsible people need to step forward.

So line up the seven Republicans (enough to override Cheney's vote) who are willing to support the Democrats' efforts to hold Bush accountable.



I know this is wishful thinking. The Republicans are traitors (their favorite word).
