Millions still deny that bush is dangerously insane.
I hear it all the time, 'bush is crazy', followed inevitably by, 'no, he's not crazy, he's an evil genius', and the debate goes on.

Millions either refuse to or cannot accept the fact that the man is actually, clinically and undeniably mentally unstable and dangerous, given his position.

If he were an evil genius, I could almost understand the nation's odd reaction to his madness, but he's just a garden variety nut who's had a lot of lucky breaks and behind the scenes string pulling. I know a lot of crazy people, I'm one myself, and I personally don't want a crazy person in the ultimate position of power, but most folks seem cool with it.

I hear people try to rationalize his insanity all the time, and twist it and spin it and suggest that he is not crazy, just odd. He is resolved, not stubborn, he is vigilant, not detached, but I still insist, he's crazier than a shit house rat.

He is our worst president ever, he is totally mentally unfit for the job, and it is OUR shame that he is not being removed. He may be the worst president ever, but let's face it, we may be the worst nation of citizens ever to put up with such a worthless idiot.

1. I guess it's hard for people to believe
that he might actually be crazy. BTW, love your icon.

2. I agree with all your points. We still have a problem.
Delusional, insane, irrational -- his decisions still have the force of law. Constitutional options exist but are very difficult to implement both legally and politically. You need most of the country to find it unacceptable to expend another 24 hours with this status quo to start to nullify and remove him from office.

5. Why is it very difficult to implement Impeachment?
Seems to me the repukes had no problem with impeachment over sex. Why are the Dems dragging their feet over massive corruption, torture, false pretenses, violations of the constitution and lies. Was most of the country really that concerned over what sex Clinton had? Of course not, it was exaggerated and overly reported by the right wing corporate media. The repukes simply kept hounding Clinton until they found something to sink their teeth into. We have blatant illegal activity from the bushes everything from corruption to treason, no need to hunt it down. True the corporate media is trying to hide the facts. But their are a few outlets that report the truth. All the Dems need do is start advertising the massive corruption and treason, and the US will be for Impeachment of bush as much as they were for Impeachment of Clinton.

8. In a nutshell: how would impeachment impact the democratic candidate's
chances to win the presidency as well as keep the seats in Congress in 2008?

3. One of the aspect of a democratic society is that
people get the leadership they deserve. I think Bush clearly proves that statement. And yes you are correct, he is stark raving mad.

6. I think he just thinks he is right and he is the one that counts.
he does not seem to let any thing but what he wants to get in his way. I do not think he is stupid or crazy as I have sure known others like him in life and had read about many more. Usually the voters in this country have just picked better plus we have been lucky to not get some one like him from 'divine rights' until him. Just look at the royal families of the first part of 1900 and and well we can play with that in a lot of history. Now we seem to have made our 'royals' the people of big business so of course we get a sort of 'divine right' through money and talent gets pushed into the background. If your rich God must love yar----------plus you must be smart. So the rich and powerful keeps telling us just as the 'royals' and the Church used to do.

7. Even Richard Cohen's column today
suggests that the DimWit is more than several crayons short of a Crayola box.

"Still, there is accumulating evidence that Bush is talking to mirrors and taking instruction from his dog. He makes no sense, saying he's amenable to change one day and digging in his heels on the next."

10. They are BOTH Insane! Drunk with Power more likely in Cheney's case but
both have acted in ways that question their mental abilities. :eyes:

11. I agree with you 100%
It isn't so much as to what he's done to this country, it's us as a people that continually allow him and his complete administration do what they do.Plus we have also these elected officials sit on their assets and do nothing. Let's hope that Nancy was lying about impeachment being off the table.

12. We're abuse vicftims and he's the perpetrator--why don't we just leave?
Edited on Tue Dec-05-06 11:02 AM by librechik
cuz in our society, when the abusive husband says "Go ahead and tell--no one will believe you!" we have been conditioned to think he's right. Or that he'll come after us and hurt us. In a family sometimes members are so abused that they try to gain favor by scapegoating the other siblings. They stop you from calling the police and say don't rock the boat and even punish you for the abuser.

Eventually sometimes these cases wind up with the courts. A judge can make an abuser stop, or take him out of the picture. What about a big, big, family?

How do we break the cycle? How do you break a cycle of abuse when your abuser is say, the chief of police? How do millions of us do it when the abuser is the commander in chief? Who can intervene for us?
