Can the * administration get any worse?
Do you ever ask yourself that question, only to later always find without fail, after reading about its latest action/inaction/negligence/scandal/stupidity, that yes indeed it can get worse.

Will these plutocrats ever reach their zenith (or is it apex) of badness?

4. picture this nightmarish scenario
Bush with the help of the supreme court declares prolife the national church of america.
Than each state will have it' state sponsored church. That's where all this intelligent design crap is going. Trust it's just a stones throw away from happening.
Note I am not a conspiracy theorist. I just been fighting against evangellical extremism since 2000 and i know what they want. And I am not talking about the average rank and file christian the majority of which are good and decent , I am just talking about the policy makers of the church. That's all.

5. I know and feel this way also.
Things have to get bad enough for long enough for change to happen. I though we were there last fall, but people (in general) have such short term memories that I fear not yet. It will be an interesting yr, what with the midterm election coming up.

7. The screws of the machine just get tighter
It has continually gotten worse for 5 years and the trend has nothing stopping it.

8. How would the Germans of the 30's respond?
Just remember that 2-3% of humanity is Sociopathic - and they DESIRE POWER.

13. I miss Bill Clinton SO bad.
I never thought the 90s would be the "good old days", but they are now.

10. I ask myself that almost every day. "Self", I say, "Can this
administration fuck things up more than it already has?"

My self says, "Are you kidding me?? If you have to ask, you haven't been paying attention."

The answer is yes!!

11. They act like they'll never be out of power
Edited on Sun Jan-22-06 02:44 AM by wysiwyg
Do you think the Republicans would be giving so much power to the executive branch if they ever intended to allow anyone else in office?

What's going to happen if the Democrats take the House and perhaps the Senate in 2006? What's going to happen if the Republicans lose the presidency in 2008? Will they willingly give up power or will there be a state of emergency for some reason?

14. They'll never leave.
There's too much evidence of criminality on the books for anyone else to ever see them. They might as well cancel the '08 election right now, or just put everyone on Diebold machines.

We've seen the last Democratic president prior to the Revolution. At least he was a good one!

12. It can always get worse.
I don't think there are any limits to how far down these guys can go. I don't think there is anything they could do at this point that would truly surprise me.

15. Of course they can get worse!
At the Conyers hearing one person mentioned with this unitary power GWB could hire a hitman to come in and kill all those Reps and witnesses. The NSA could round Duers up and put us in concentration camps.

It could get worse, and will, if Americans do not put their collective foot down and soon!
