5. True enough, but people are learning, slowly, that their TV's
spout bullshit and their votes aren't being counted.

23. The thought crossed my mind that if the Internet was shut down
tomorrow, with people not believing anything they hear from the government (and I truly believe most folks are at that point by now, except for that 32%) word of mouth and the passing on of unverifiable rumors might actually hasten the demise of BushCo.

8. It is getting pretty huge, isn't it? There has to be a tipping point
somewhere.

4. I can't say what I am thinking
But I want to alert everyone to the "great-great spawn" of the Anti-FDR's. Today's college Republicans are tomorrows monsters.

6. When I was in college in the '60's I considered the YAF and
Young Republicans to be a joke, bad move.

11. I did too. My younger brother washed cars for Nixon.

My brother is still a "R" but nothing like the GOP staffers on the hill and freepers. My brother disageed with Dems but never wanted them dead.

7. Any other President in history,
Edited on Fri May-05-06 08:45 PM by Kutjara
if facing the sheer weight of evidence of wrongdoing that confronts Bush, would, at the very least, have been sitting on top of his suitcase on Pennsylvania Avenue waiting for the first bus out of town.

Not these bastards, though. They are shameproof. They used to call Clinton 'teflon coated.' BushCo has got armor like the friggin' Nimitz. Absolutely everything bounces off.

Maybe it's just that after Nixon, Regan, George I and now five years of George II, we have given up on expecting anything but lies, greed and evil from our leaders. I truly think that, if it was discovered that the Cabinet sacrifices a newborn baby before every meeting, the country would just shrug and say, 'yeah, I'm not that surprised.'

18. I'm not so sure
I seriously think that Bush could actually eat a fetus on live TV, and around 30% of the country would support him and try to rationalize it.

eating.

15. See if this doesn't cheer you up a little bit ....


Link from MSNBC website: http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/12643666/


The headline of the article reads: Republican Right Abandoning Bush

As for his overall job performance, history suggests that Bush’s paltry 33 percent spells trouble for Republicans in the fall.

In the past six decades, only one president had a lower job approval rating six months before a midterm election — Richard Nixon in May 1974, the year in which Watergate-scarred Republicans lost 48 seats in the House and four in the Senate.






I truly believe the big pendulum is moving in our direction now.

17. Never
A political party that runs the House, the Senate and The White House isn't going to be "taken down"

Anything more than that is mental masturbation.

The MSM is pretty much a joke. T.V. makes news and no longer reports it.

The internet has opened up a whole new world of information available from multiple sources and ideologies.

20. Let's hope they aren't sure of that. If they start running for their
own political lives their cohesion is gone and they can be taken down.
