http://www.buzzflash.com/articles/smith/229 Looking back to the fraudulent election in 2000, and a partisan Supreme Court who decided they wanted "their boy" in the White House ... millions of people would still be living the good life if the US had left the White House vacant, instead of renting it out to the Republican Party and their supporters. No warnings given to Americans before 911. No capture of the Anthrax killer. No capture of bin Laden and his cave-living gang. Hidden chambers of torture. Secret prisons. The reputation of the US is in the sewer. Everyone hates America today. They don't think of us as a living, breathing, functioning democracy. At one time, we Americans were the envy of the world. People wanted to be like us.
It's easy to surmise that we Americans and the world would be better off if the US had no government these past seven years. However, it depends on how we look at it ... actually, we have not had any US government these past seven years, and we can go back farther than that when we look at what the Republican Party has done in this country's name for the past 30 to 40 years without any accountability. Greed has been ruling this country.
Trillions of dollars of debt in just seven years (debt caused by money that went into the pockets of the GOP) would not have happened if the White House would have been left empty, unoccupied. Americans will suffer for generations to come because of the debt caused by the Republicans' dictatorial type of government and their greed for more power. All this country gets from the Bush GOP administration is threats, yet they have proved to be the biggest threat of all to the future of US citizens and US Democracy.
"If the Senate Judiciary Committee were to block Judge Mukasey on these grounds, they would set a new standard for confirmation that could not be met by any responsible nominee for attorney general," Bush said in a speech at the Heritage Foundation, a conservative think tank.
"That would guarantee that America would have no attorney general during this time of war," the president said.

If the US still had law and order in this country (accountability) for government officials at the top of US government, Bush would be talking to attorneys instead of threatening the members of Congress and the American people every time he doesn't get his way. He wouldn't have time to worry about getting his way, he would be worried about staying out of jail. He would be worried about Americans getting our way for a change ... impeachment and prosecution.
We already know what Bush thinks of the American people, and especially our youth (war fodder), our children (no health care), the elderly, gays, people of color, the poor.
If the people in this country had a choice between the Bush Republicans ' government and no government ... that's too easy. We have had a government without any law and order for those in high government positions who think of their oaths of office as nothing more than cliches ... yes, this country would have been far better off without any government at all, if they insist on calling what we've had under Republican rule as "government."
Americans in all three branches of this government have been working for their own special interest groups in the US without fear of accountability for their crimes against humanity. Those in powerful offices should fear US law more than the common, purse-snatching street criminals because they can do more harm, and have done so, and that goes for the Supreme Court, too. We now know that our Supreme Court is no longer supreme. They can prop up their own special interests. No one in a real, working democracy should have that kind of power. No one.
Their (Bush GOP) track record proves this. People should fear what's been kept secret ... what we have not yet discovered. Crimes that have been committed in the name of our country. Using our country and our people as their own personal weapons of mass destruction to further their own personal goals.
And, even today, because they do not fear US law, they are using the same tired old tactics they used to invade Iraq, for their bombing of Iran. Bombing that will kill thousands of innocent people. What kind of country have we become? We use our WMD on other countries, that we suspect, might someday, in the future, think of having WMD. If we are that afraid, and we, the US, have the largest stash of WMD in the world. And, Bush has used them to invade a defenseless country, why wouldn't people around the world fear the US like they used to fear Germany, China, Russia? Is this the kind of government the American people want?
If this Bush GOP government is the best that the US citizens can get ... fawgettabout it. The losses that people have suffered through invasions, fraud, and hate-filled legislation ... who could possibly call these last seven years, government, especially a democratic government representing US democracy?
