Will president Kerry pardon Bush?
By Weston Taylor.

This hyper-political climate in the USA is taxing on the American people. Sociologically & Culturally speaking, the commoner in the USA is already overwhelmed with personal concerns and economic problems. One dose not has the time and luxury to know the dynamics and analytical prowess of politics. It’s not that the American people are stupid or apathetic, it’s the underclass has traditionally have been on a survival diet even since the dawn of time. Both realms of the U.S political dichotomy, “Left or Right” have accused the American people of being stupid. This time in history, the Right has accused the Left of having destined for the American people. However, the rich WASP elite has clandestine antipathy for the underclass. Notwithstanding, they need the underclass to keep them in political office or to buy their products. Being gifted demagogues they are, they appeal to the fears and insecurities of the people. Homophobia or Islamo-phobia has worked wonders in recent history.
The 2 party systems have become a bipoly as to oppose to a monopoly. Each party wants a monopoly. What we have in the USA is the good cop, bad cop syndrome. The bad capitalist and good capitalist political parties are the order of the day. Republicans are the bad capitalists. They are old money WASP who wants to suppress the peasants to the will of the Aryan feudal lord. They will do anything and I mean anything to maintain their security of power, from making passive/aggressive propaganda to outright war. The Democrats on the other hand are the good capitalists. They are new money. Wealthy immigrants, minorities and freethinking Protestants who want to maintain their power but make the inmates happy with perks and recreations. Their method of maintaining power is patronizing and ingratiating.
Ever so often, the 2 parties offer you the ultimatum for the presidency is: An outright crypto-Fascist or proverbial political hack. Of course common sense will have chose the latter. No matter what you think of Ralph Nader, he is correct in his criticism of the 2 party systems. Ever 4 years the American people will have to choose between, “Bad capitalist and good capitalist”. The idea of picking a capitalist candidate from a capitalist party trying to solve problems that was created by capitalism in the first place is idiotic. A lot of folks fall for the old right wing polemic, “If you criticize capitalism you are a COMMIE!” Not really.
It’s no secret that Kerry will win this fall unless you believe the paranoids about a conspiracy by Bush in stopping the election by marshal law, the winds in the direction of a landslide. Unless the American people fall prey to the pollsters as reported by the corporate media. There is no dead heat by voters. The media is trying to re-create the election of Kennedy/Nixon 1960. Which was a dead heat. There so many crimes that Bush committed that it would take a calculator to sum it up. It’s inevitable he will be convicted of High Treason. Nixon avoided conviction by resigning in 1974. So will president Kerry pardon Bush after the election? Will, they were in the same fraternity in college, and you know about fraternity brotherhood? It’s called, “Loyalty”.

1. Pardon?

I want that criminal son of a bitch tossed in jail. Or, barring that, force him to spend 5 unsupervised minutes in a holding room with every soldier he sent over there to bake in the desert, while he stood around at home and quipped, "Bring 'em on!"

2. Absolutely, yes -

for the same reason that Ford pardoned Nixon - to settle things down and get the country back to normal. The humiliation of being forced to resign was good enough for most people and it had to end some way.
You will recall that Agnew, too, traded in his office for a get-out-of-jail-free card.

6. absolutely no, no way jose

No one is above the law. If messages about law and order can be sent to poor inner city kids, they can be sent to the presidency as well.

The pardoning of Nixon is what got us into this mess. The Republican party has become the refuge of thugs, it was Nixon's legacy and by not putting all of out in public with powers of discovery and testimony under oath, we allowed Republicans plausible deniability - "it was just Nixon and a few bad apples, the liberal media, etc". Then there was Iran-Contra and "good" reasons not to persue that. Now we have Presidents lying to Congress to start unprovoked wars. We can't go on like this, by sending the message that the republic cannot withstand this level of trial, it will happen again.

Believe me, if Kerry wins Jeb will be running in four years saying he'll be his brother without falling for the CIA's yellowcake - as if bad fate caused all his brothers problems. We need discovery and investigation to say whether that was true or not. For many Republicans, the lesson of Watergate was next time don't tape the headquarters door.

3. Deport him to Mars

Chimpy has been wanting to go to Mars...and now there will really be a chance to have him go there.

5. No

Bush won't be charged with anything, so there will be no need to pardon him.
