The pResident has admitted treason. Why is he not behind bars?
Is EVERYBODY in DC so complete a coward they won't act NOW? Are the republican rubberstampers so worn down they can't remember what they once stood for? Are the democrats cowering so far back under their beds they can't wriggle out into the daylight and raise their voices? Are the newscasters so cowed they have forgotten how to bust loose and REPORT THE NEWS?

Just askin'.

3. It is apparently technically legal for him to declassify if he wants to
Edited on Sat Apr-08-06 12:21 PM by emulatorloo
At least that is what John Dean and other non-bushbot experts say, so I take them at their word

So technically he has not done anything illegal.

OTOH what he has done is selectively declassify information to destroy a critic, sneakily have it leaked to his pet reporter, and then claimed to not know who leaked, to want to get to the bottom of it, etc etc. So he has been revealed as a hypocrite and a liar.

From what I have observed, Democrats are raising hell and speaking up about it, and republicans are very silent about it (not defending it), and it is all over the news stations.

This is only the beginning.

4. Because Ken Starr is not waving around a blue dress
No one has invented a media driven outrage campaign. Somehow all the crap involving Bill's indiscretion was paraded night and day under everyones' noses. Still nobody cared. Clinton's approval ratings were 60%. I personally just wanted 'them' to leave Clinton the hell alone, let it fade, let people forget. We need a 'them' sitting around in a boiler room at night, hatching the the next plot of hatefulness, and splashing glitzy advertisements all over the TV, despoiling dubya's charismatic christian choirboy image. Democrats are not feigning outrage, shock and horror as well as the Repubs did at President Clinton. Or manipulating the media.

5. It's going to be up to us the people to scare them even more
Edited on Sat Apr-08-06 12:49 PM by Cleita
than the Bush cabal is scaring them to shake them into doing their jobs. I think a mass demonstration, as was suggested before, with a movement of people from all states, caravanning and marching on Washington could do it. How much longer before we can't take it anymore and do it?

6. Unilateral powers granted by the Establishment.
Edited on Sat Apr-08-06 12:56 PM by Rex
Bush is now the most powerful POTUS in American history. Not because of Us, just the opposite in fact. The Establishment in this country has authorized Bush to be that soft-porn dictator he wanted to be and told to various reporters way back in the beginning of this nightmare.

Despite ALL our opposition, the MSM agrees with him. The SCOTUS agrees with him. The Congress Dome agrees with him. Big Biz agrees with him. The Military Industrial Complex agrees with him. Powerful entities one and all, far more powerful than We the People.
