3. I can not take Bush another second
Let a democratic president with executive order authority, commander in chief of the miliatry, the authority to appoint judges and veto anything congress sends work towards changing control of congress.

5. Congress IF we're talking

12. If Democrats on the Hill Insist on "Supporting the President"
what good does a democratic congress do? Give me a Clinton who can work stuff out with congressional GOP leadership and willing to veto any unacceptable legislation. At worst you would have gridlock.

13. At this critical point, I wish we could take back the Judiciary --
since it's possible for the courts to have final say on almost anything, and the Supremes serve for life -- but that will be the last branch that we can take back, if we ever get the chance. Congress second, again in terms of Constitutional ability to block further movement in the direction the extreme right is driving us. The Presidency, however, would be a big step toward reclaiming our country.

16. CONGRESS INVESTIGATE INVESTIGATE
a D congress could keep many committees busy investigating this crowd.

Special Counsuls galore.

Oh! How I want to repay for $110,000,000 spent smearing the Greatest Administration of the Twentieth Century.

HOW SWEET IT COULD BE.

Vengeance shall be mine sayeth Lord Swinney.

18. Well, the Dem Congress had better start behaving as such.
I'm pretty disgusted with California reps who have pretty much adopted the GOP agenda. Barf. Grow a backbone!

21. Both.
In an either/or situation, in any other circumstances I'd say Congress. But I don't want to see George Bush's name, or hear his voice, or see his face, ever again. I want the the door to hit his proverbial ass on the way out. I want that man and his attendances booted to Crawford to serve out their miserable lives in shame.
