Why are Bush And Cheney still here?
I mean, they've got their war profiteering checks, and many more on the way. But they are beginning to see a lot of resistance that maybe they can't get away with all the nonsense they had intended, so they are fighting an uphill battle. " Bein' the decider is hard wurk!" They know their days are numbered one way or another with the current scandals or something new, so they couldn't be hanging on because they care about anything other than their own pocketbooks. Seems like they would just jump ship by resigning, walk away while the door is not a huge flaming hoop. Catch the big jet to Paraguay where Daddy has set things up for that "Someday". The longer they stay the easier it will be for the prosecutions or impeachments to begin. Don't get me wrong, I think those two bozos should hang for all the world to see! I think walking away is not the answer for justice that the American people can see! I just don't understand why they are still hanging around. They have absolutely no principles, so what gives?

2. You mean like someday we may wake up and see on the morning news:

BREAKING: George Bush and Dick Cheney missing!

Sometime during the night, both Bush and Cheney and their families have gone missing. There are no signs of fowl play, but items with a sentimental value to them are also missing.

Then we learn that their financial holdings have been emptied. All bank accounts, savings accounts, bonds, etc., are gone.

Months later, a spy shot of George and Bush sitting at a pool in Paraguay, with Laura and Lynne sunbathing topless appear in the National Inquirer.

Oh, that's where they are...!

And...no...it CAN'T BE! Is that the Enron guy with them?
:rofl:

3. They are still stealing lots of money and rigging the next elections.
So they are busy little bees.

And they know they will get off scot free.
Nothing to worry about on that score.

5. So you think they see the trouble they're having
as just little annoyances they have to put up with?

10. Oh yes, just background noise for them. They are making $billions
and rigging the elections, turning the bureaucracy into branches of the GOP as we speak. Installing the GOP as a permanent ruling cabal. Also setting up their alibis and protections from any legal consequences.

And they will all walk away rich and famous.

4. because they haven't bombed Iran yet
Bush said he was going to do it before he left office because no one else would ever have the guts to do it.

11. My friend I have been asking that question for a while now.
Why are they so obsessed with accumulating vast fortunes?
What are they doing with the stolen US treasury?
Why do they need a trillion dollars?

Makes you wonder doesn't it?

8. Because America swims in apathy.
What other explanation can there be? Too many corrupt public officials? The Establishment is collapsing? Finally falling apart? America? I dunno, I live in a city-state State. That piece of shit comes down here on 'vacation', I read that a lot of cows vanish or are found turned insideout when Cheney is down in Crawferd with the Decider.

15. Last Year's Election Results Say Otherwise
Edited on Sun Apr-08-07 05:32 PM by AndyTiedye
Apathy does not lead to massive turnout in elections, nor does it lead to turning out the party in charge of both houses of Congress.

The people have spoken and continue to do so. Washington isn't listening.

IMPEACH! NOW!!

14. Bush is too arrogant and stupid to even know he is despised;
Cheney is too evil to care. Anyway the BFFE are buying all that land in Paraguay because they know that water will the next big commodity.
