B3 Editorial: Bush to America: 'Up Yours.'

[americanstranger]

...This man, this alleged president - who is less popular today than he was on the day before the election - is looking at the results of last week's elections and taking absolutely nothing away from them. The American people want Democrats to handle government, and Bush's response is to try and ram John Bolton and a handful of wingnut judges through a lame duck Congress.

The American people want us to start planning an exit from Iraq, and Bush responds by considering 20,000 more troops - and God knows where they'll come from.

From the way the Guardian article reads, Bush is 'influencing' Baker's Iraq Study Group - the very group that is supposed to be giving Bush advice.

Bush's own aides are saying that he's in denial about the situation in Iraq, and when this administration is most in need of good advice, who is Bush listening to? Fucking Hank Kissinger.

And why is Bush doing all of this? In order to move Republicans into better position for the '08 presidential elections!

Like a petulant child, Bush is taking the wishes and demands of the American people and basically telling them to shove them up their collective asses. He's trying to stack the courts before he loses his Congressional majority, he wants to escalate the war in Iraq, he's disregarding the well-offered advice of military experts and getting his pointers from a man who can't travel to certain countries on this planet lest he be arrested as a war criminal.

And worst of all, he's exploiting the deaths of nearly 3,000 American kids so his party can hold on to the White House in 2008.

I've been reading online debates concerning impeachment, and until today I was on the side of letting Bush sit in the White House as Congressional investigations bring down those around him.

But this 'last push' plan, and his attempt to stack the courts in the last month of a Congressional session, have changed all that.

Now I firmly believe that when the Democrats take the House in January, one of the first things they should undertake should be articles of impeachment. Bush is out of control and actively working against the wishes of the American electorate.

Time to throw his ass onto Pennsylvania Avenue, and when that's done they should start proceedings against Cheney. These sons of bitches are not listening. It's time to bring the House Of Bush down to the ground.

2. I agree 100% the "last push" isn't calculated to "win" in Iraq

It's all about setting up the post-Iraq rhetoric for Republicans through '08 and beyond. The refrain will go like this: Democrats stabbed our glorious troops in the back!

He's making it real hard for me to stay in the "don't impeach" crowd. People who are, let's say, "on the fence" about political things, those people who say they don't like extremes, folks who like 3rd ways and so forth, are going to have to take a fucking side. There is going to be a flaming apocalyptic showdown over Iraq, and a Constitutional crisis over the President's war making executing authority vs. Congressional consent, and one will either be FOR this President and his war, or AGAINST him. That's the way he started and that's the way he's choosing to go out. He's not standing for reelection again and he controls the military. That means he doesn't have to listen and he's not going to listen. Democrats can either shelve their commitment to end this war, they can shrug it off and renege on understandings with their constituents and leave the task to a later, perhaps braver, group of Americans, or they can commit to ending it this year--whatever that takes.

3. I agree

Whatever any of us thought we knew about politics is now obsolete. Bush is taking politics in this country into new, and untested waters. He will not hesitate to drag us down with him, if that's the way the cards are dealt. When I was born, FDR was president. Things have changed so dramatically, I don't know what will happen next. I do know, though, that we need to find a way to unite,all of us, or be destroyed by his bullshit.
