Why do we allow George BUSH to run to his DADDY?
The great son has screwed up this country - period. Why are Democrats allowing him to run to Daddy to dig him out of his mess? Why is James Baker and cronies allowed to help him out?

Dems need to start turning the screws hard now.

3. He didn't exactly ask for our permission.
Anyway, we can hardly stand in the way of an effort to change the course now.

9. Out-sourcing the oval office. Baker didn't campaign, or run, or
serve in my recent memory, so we don't know what his plans are now that he's running the country.

Will he want to attack Iran or Syria?

We don't know, because he's not obligated to tell us, is he? He's not really a public servent, so, he's not obligated to us. He has no press secretary. We can't petition him, or question him.

This is now officially a ghost administration.

12. it's a scam
There is no legal or Constitutional authority for 41 to appoint people to 43's administration.

There is no consent from the governed for family of the POTUS to govern.

There is no provision in the law for such interference.

It's a creeping dynastic coup.

And the cover story is being pushed by MSM. Father steps in to save weak son. That's the cover. What's happening is a dynastic junta, against the consent of the people.

14. Gates will have to be confirmed by the Senate...
and any recommendations that the Baker/Hamilton commission makes will have to be approved by Congress. I suppose they'll try and ram all of this through before the new Congress takes power, but in case they don't that's why they have strong-arm Democrats like Vernon Jordan and Lee Hamilton on the commission.

27. More like abdication. Bush finally admits to himself he was only
supposed to be a puppet. He just changed masters, is all.

28. Exactly. We don't know anything about Baker or his ideology
because he didn't run, he hasn't been part of the governing structure, and so noone knows his angle, or his influence.

He's not beholden to any constituancy. We can't hold him to anything. We can't question him. He has no public staff. He owes us no explanations or plans. Stealth government.

This is fascism at it's worst. We don't even really know who's in charge.

The senate has got to stop this.

13. because running to Dick Cheney is an even worse option.
If W's old man is going to keep him from starting another war or otherwise screwing up this country then more power to him. Anything that'll help clean up juniors act is welcome at this point.

16. have the republicans nobody else they can call upon, or are they...
silently adhering to Powell's adage, "you break it you bought it" knowing full well that bush cannot do so himself; they are allowing his family to make the purchase on his behalf knowing further that that is the only way g.w. bush can...having had no inclination to really serve this country to begin with

17. Better Poppy than his mother
she'd have her baby boy invade another country and then ask not to be told the details so as not to clutter her "beautiful mind."
Besides, aren't the people in whatever country we invade -- killed, wounded, homeless, without water or electricity, now "better off"? Like the Katrina victims who were so "elevated" after being sent to Texas?
Babs crystalizes the selfishiness and conceit of the right. These people are gluttons - they take more than they need. And believe they should because they're "better" than everyone else.
Better Dubya runs to Papa and not Mama. He's too much like her as it is.

18. Old habits are hard to break
Edited on Tue Nov-14-06 04:04 PM by lpbk2713

It started a long time ago when AWOL Monkey-Boy ran to Daddy so those bad Vietnamese people wouldn't shoot at him.






And of course Daddy was glad to do whatever he could to help.

26. I don't care where the Frat Boy gets his advice
Buth the Preppy may not be a candidate for Mt. Rushmore, but he was a much better leader than his idiot son.

If Bush the Frat Boy is getting advice he'll listen to from his father, I'm all for it. It's a safe bet to be better than what he's been getting.

31. It is absolutely time for him to go
There are many good reasons for demanding the impeachment and removal of Bush and Cheney.

Nevertheless, the fact that Bush is belatedly seeking advice from his father is not among them.
