Reasons why the Bushies are still roaming the world, free and easy.

[Kablooie]

Why aren't the Democratic leaders in Congress taking action against Bush and his minions?

Here are some possible reasons:


1. -- They don't believe Bush has committed any truly serious offenses.

2. -- Demanding accountability would disrupt the important business of government.

3. -- Bush has dirt on all of them so they don't dare oppose him directly.

4. -- There aren't enough votes in Congress to support any action against the Bushies.

5. -- They don't believe most American people would support actions against Bush.

6. -- They plan to take strong actions but are taking their time to build a strong case.

7. -- All legal avenues for redress have been commandeered by Bushies.

8. -- They would rather wait until Bush leaves in 2008.

9. -- They are too timid to make a move if the result is uncertain.

10. -- They are simply afraid of Bush and his cronies.


Which one do you think is the closest to the truth? Do you have other thoughts?

I want to know why I hear no rumblings of any serious opposition to these criminals.

1. The last one - They are simply afraid of Bush and his cronies

2. No. 4, Sir, Is The Professional's Reason

Nos. 6, 8, and 9 have some potential, though the phrasing of No. 9 is leading to the point of distortion: sensible people do not start up fights unless they feel they have a good chance of winning, and to call that 'timidity' is stretching things a bit....

3. Anthrax envelopes???

4. 7 or 3

I hate to think 3, but DC is so corrupt it's hard not to imagine that possibility.

5. How about a lot of our Dems are nearly as corrupt as the pukes?

Not as brazen, and drunk with power, but damn near as corrupt. Look at the DLC, and a lot of others whoring for corporate cash.

It's the reality of the campaign finance arrangement.

I saw an interview with Senator Fritz Hollings a couple of years ago on 60 minutes. He said that, the reason he quit, to fund his re-election campaign, he had to raise $35,000 per week, every week for 6 years. Then start all over again.

6. mostly 9, but a disturbing number of 1s (starting w/Liebertoad, but not

ending there).

Yeah, I know Lieberbush is no longer officially a Democrat, but the deference paid him is symptomatic of the problem.

7. I pick 10, 5 Those two are really the best bet.
