Bush should not be the focus of 04

[Atman]

Forgive me for re-posting this in its own message, but I think it is important...I typed this as a reply to the thread about Rove and Ashcroft being indicted, and why it won't happen. But, my reply made me think of a different angle....

" balance of government, with checks and balances, to get these guys to even honor a subpeona. THEY DON'T HAVE TO. Who's gonna make them? Has Cheney complied with his subpeonas yet?

Face it people, we are screwed. To hell with the presidency...I think it has already been delivered to Bush...04 will be another formality, a show for the people to make us think we still live in a democracy.

We instead need to focus on the Congress. Take the power to ignore the will of the people away from the Republicans. It is the only way we will survive, otherwise, the republican controlled congress will bolster its position via republican-flavored legislation which the republican courts will rubber stamp. Turning over Congress is far more important than getting rid of Bush. At least, if the Congress went dem, we could impeach Bush.

Think about it."

1. So you think we should just give up on ousting bush?

how odd. IMO ANY of our top candidates haa better then even chance of beating the idiot. Nope. I'm not ready to admit defeat a full year before the election.

Of course congress is important but that doesn't mean we should give up the fight for the oval office.

2. Can't we do both?

And besides, I strangley think it'll be easier to win the presidency than win some of those gerrymandered districts.
