Why Is George W. Bush
Above the Law?



A Query by TvNewsLIES.org

No man is above the law and no man is below it; nor do we ask any man's permission when we ask him to obey it. Theodore Roosevelt

THE BRAVADO

Once again, a massive failure of leaderships has been displayed in Washington. And, once again, George Bush has escaped an independent inquiry into his in irresponsible actions. For the fourth time in less than five years, the President of the United States and his cohorts been placed above the law. That, in itself, is a major American disaster.

When, if ever, could this have happened before? When else could one administration have pulled off four major scandals; four devastating, potentially impeachable screw-ups, and never have to answer for them? When else, in the United States of America, could so many crimes of an elected president and his cadre remain unexplained, unchallenged, and unpunished? When? Probably never. When in history have the media sat silent through criminal scandal at highest levels of government?

We’re not talking mistakes, here. We’re not talking poor judgment or failed policies. We’re not talking politics as usual, with its underhanded array of pork and perks. But we are talking about very serious violations of the public trust, and very possibly the law, perpetrated by the elected leader of this nation and his handlers.

Even more amazingly, we are talking about the shameful reality that not a single one of these offenses has been investigated by a truly independent, non-political, neutral commission, armed with subpoena powers and adequate funding, and answerable ONLY to the people of the United States of America. Not a single one.

In every one of the scandals in question, calls for a nonpartisan, independent commission were thwarted by the very people accused of misdeeds and crimes. Something is really wrong when an American president who is accused of misconduct can determine who will delve into the facts behind his own actions? Something also is really wrong when incriminating evidence can be redacted and withheld from the public by the very people incriminated by that evidence.

Something is even more seriously wrong when cover up after cover up goes unreported and unchallenged by the same corporate media that spent eight years in relentless pursuit of scandals related to Whitewater, Travelgate, Filegate, Paula Jones and that awful threat to national security, Monica Lewinsky.

Of course, the targets of the media, and ultimately a Special Prosecutor, were Bill and Hillary Clinton, not George W. Bush, and accountability was not yet a dirty word. And of course, in that far more innocent time, challenging the president was not considered to be an act of treason. Tragically, today, it is.

For THE SCANDALS, THE STING, and all the FACTS ....

1. Short Answer:

Republicans are evil.

[Uncle Joe]

2. The key reason being

that the same corpwhorate MSM that enabled this corrupt/incompetent to power, while at the same time waging a one sided war against Gore are complicit. Being complicit with the naked emperor dampens any honest investigative reporting on this administration's abuse of power. Not having his crimes or misdeeds exposed to the light gives Bush a power rush and disdain for accountability or responsibility. He is the emperor, he need not answer to anyone, the corpwhorate owned MSM said it was so.

3. Hmmmm ... let's see. Rich, white, male, allegedly straight, Republican ...

4. Just rich will do

unless you are Martha Stewart.

5. Because we have Republican majorities in both houses. This was the

stupidest thing that the voters of this country ever did.

I know, the last two presidential elections were probably stolen, but we need to make sure that we get a democratic majority or at least closer to 50% so that votes along party lines do not always go to the republicans.

Now that he is stacking the supreme court we need a majority. Impeachment proceedings would have begun a long time ago if there a dem majority in the congress.

edit for sp.

7. The Busheviks are as above the law as in any other Third World Nation

And that is what Amerika has become, a very rich Third World Nation.

We are ALL to blame...me, you, everyone.

But the puzzlement as to why the Busheviks are above the law is quite succint and simple, if only you realize that the Old United States of America perished (perhaps not irrevocably, but probably so) on 12-12-2000.

The disease that killed it had been percolating far longer than that before it's lethal metastasis.

8. Because there ain't no law, just various assholes with arbitrary power. nt

9. Because he's a god

in wolf's clothing.
