Alito/Veneer of Democracy/BUSHs final move/Filibuster

[FogerRox]

A veneer of democracy

So far the Bush regime has maintained a veneer of a real democracy. And as long as that veneer remains-- they are all vulnerable to impeachment and indictments. At this point in time the BUSH regime has not pulled the trigger on martial law, or some similar power grab. It may be that they cant make the ultimate grab for power without losing what base that is left to the neo-cons. Without the Republican Party the Fascists don't have much in the way of support. SO, I'm guessing that for some reason-- they are not ready-- or are unwilling, at this point in time. And as long as that veneer remains-- they are all venerable.

Why Repubs wont throw BUSH to the wolves

BUT, ask yourself, to maintain political power under the constraints of maintaining a veneer of a real democracy, does the Republican Party throw BUSH to the wolves? And is it better for the country to have republicans take out the Bush Regime prior to the 2006 Congressional races, possibly mitigating a pendulum swing to the left in the House, in 2006.

In my mind, that is the smart thing to do. but I dont see the Republican Party doing this. I dont see the bold personalities of quality leadership and thinking in the Republican Party. And I dont see a consensus forming quick enough to take advantage of throwing BUSH to the wolves. I dont think the republicans have what it takes, but do the Democrats ?

Think Alito & the Supreme Court. The High Court appointed BUSH, it is possible that with Alito installed they will make the final move. The High Court will validate whatever is needed by BUSHCo. While still maintaining a very thin veneer of Democracy to maintain the Repub base, the NSA spying will be used to control political opposition.

Is the ascendancy of Alito to the Supreme Court: checkmate?

I think installing ALito to the high Court may be the final move, it is certainly CHECK, maybe CHECKMATE. Which is why I support a total effort in communicating to the DEM Senators that they MUST Filibuster the Alito nomination in the Supreme Court.

-WE Must Fill their email inboxes.
-WE must inundate their fax machines.
-We Must clog the Senate Switchboards

Tell the Senate DEMS they must SHUT THE SENATE DOWN

Will there be a Filibuster? I don't know. BUT- If -

If the DEMS SHUT IT DOWN-- they need to see us in the streets supporting them. WE need to be there, saying we got your back.


If the DEMS SHUT IT DOWN-- I going to DC. Join me.

If the DEMS SHUT IT DOWN-- Lets all go to DC.

If the DEMS SHUT IT DOWN-- If they report for DUTY, WE GOTTA HAVE THEIR BACK.

If the DEMS SHUT IT DOWN-- The repubs gotta be put on notice, the villagers are outside the castle keep. With Pitchforks and torches, Ipods, cellphones, video cams.

If the DEMS SHUT IT DOWN-- WE have a chance, maybe the last one

These days with the internet a good idea makes it around the world in 3 days. SO please spend the next 3 days sending out email to everyone, every blog, every message forum, every DEM Senator. Tell everyone why it is important for the Senate DEMS to SHUT IT DOWN. Tell everyone it is OK to SHUT IT DOWN.

Faced with an unacceptable situation in the Ukraine-- Ukrainians took to the Streets and SHUT IT DOWN

Faced with an unacceptable situation Rosa Parks got on the BUS.

Faced with an unacceptable situation Martin Luther King Marched.

Faced with an unacceptable situation WE MARCHED in DC sept. 24th, lets do it again

2. Exactly the term I've been using...

As far as checks and balances go, with three of the four estates in the bag (Executive, Legislative, and Journalism) all that is left is a majority on the Judiciary.

With that it's no longer CHECKS and BALANCES.

It's CHECK and MATE.
