2. I sure as hell hope so
But it certainly won't come close to matching the suffering he's inflicted on others.

Seriously, I think he already has. And if the press keeps their newly discovered cajones, he will continue to suffer.

3. I'm Beginning To Think Not
Unfortunately I'm finally at the point where I think we've lost this country. I realize now that THEY control everything, and only want to gain more control than they already have.

I have been hoping SOMETHING would wake up this country, but not even witnessing what occurred last week is making a dent in Shrub's image. I think if he got on TV with Osama and gave him a big fat kiss, it would somehow be spun in his favor.

I think the only hope our country has is for it to crumble and burn in disaster, and I'm beginning to hope it happens sooner so we can be put out of our misery.

It is a blunder beyond all belief. The stupid fuck would not even cut his month long vacation by a few days to intervene with the personal attention required by his office.

The personal stories will be hitting the Internet even more strongly once the displaced get back online. Those now helping will be at their keyboards shortly true.

Not only was it a total blunder, the cover-up and deflection tactics are going to show a lot of people that honest government is now an oxymoron. I would think there are millions of people that now think it would be a patriotic act to actually kill WarCriminal if given the chance.

We peasants have had our pitchforks and torches at the castle wall for some time but all we can do is shout "impeach, indict, imprison." Even if the bastard makes it through his four years as a twice selected pResident, the war crimes charges, the ruining of America, and the worst president ever will follow him his whole life and personally I hope the remainder of that life is extremely short.

If I really wanted to make money now, I would set up a company in Baton Rouge and sell voodoo dolls with 50 extra pins free with every purchase. The freepers might have hated Clinton, but they are about to get a lesson on justifiable hate on their warmongering puppet.

"If you aren't outraged by now, there is something wrong with you" is my favorite saying. And we are not only talking about the destruction of America, we are talking about a new arms race that means everyone lives with less comfort and that wars will be more deadly until the big one ruins the earth.

Freeper indignation over Clinton is not going to be anything compared to the justification behind calling for WarCriminal to be brought to justice. This time it is not just an American thing. The whole world wants the country to reign in the the course of the country and those that would ruin the world.

7. I Think Yes
His political capital is now gone. For the last three months, other Repukes have been finding ways to distance themselves. Now, he's screwed up this thing in a big, big way.

He's done as the leader of the repukes. There will lots of repubs that will not want his involvement, his endorsement, etc. He's done as the symbol of the party, and if the dems are smart, they'll hammer him constantly to diminish the influence of the whole stupid party.

How sadly our representatives are more concerned with their own political asses than really giving Bush the smack-down.

9. I have thought YES so many times and have been wrong that
I can't answer. Amazing, isn't it? The things they get
away with??

:puke:

But I do know that, sooner or later, they will self-destruct.
Of that I am sure. They are NOT immune to the Law of Cause
and Effect. What that destruction will look like, I don't
know. I don't want to think about it because it frightens
me.
