1. Speculating about this is
just engaging in a circle jerk. It's totally pointless.

2. make him the only Pariah expresident is probably your best hope
he'll be the kiss of death for republican candidates. worse than Nixon.

the Carlysle group is going to make him a billionaire, and Arab Royalty are going to be giving him nubile sex slaves on a daily basis, so he won't give too much of a fuck. A narcissist never does.

3. Indicted at the VERY least.
He should be indicted and put on trial. That seems the very least that needs to happen. The violations of the FISA laws and the obstruction of justice in the Plame leak seem like the minimum that should be pursued.

Frankly, I also think that there is a very strong case for war crimes as well.

So many choices, so little a person...

16. Nah,...
...the Europeans at the Hague would treat 'im too nice, and he'd probably get the Aryan Nation types at Leavenworth to protect him.

5. Bushito
Bushito should be indicted and put on trial. The bush clan is a family of criminals going all the way back to bushito's grandfather. this generation Jeb, Neil, tthe grandkinds George >, Jebby, Noel.

I know this would never happen becuase if the country were to learn the truth about these people, it would change politics in the country, and both parties will not stand for that.

8. A little creepy, don't you think?
Sitting around, trying to think up ways to punish him. That's for the Pentagon to do in relation to Arabs and Muslims.

Mmmmmm, punishment. Impeach him. No, jail time. No, hang him up like his savior. No, stick him in a hole. No, spank him. No, torture.

Not that it matters. He'll retire a wealthy man. This is America.

13. The main point is that he should not be allowed to waltz out the
Edited on Mon Apr-10-06 12:01 PM by wake.up.america
White House with his gotten wealth.

His behavior has been often discussed.
It seems to me that something should be done.
Merely discussing his vile actions is not sufficient.

What exactly is beyond our control.
A tribunal, whether it be in United States or with the United Nations seems appropriate.

9. he can only be impeached, then convicted in the Senate, then
criminally prosecuted after he is no longer pResident, unless the next Persident pardons him.

Another avenue is to sue him in a civil court, like they did to Clinton.

I personally would like to see him get a fair trial at the Hague.

11. In a perfect world, he would be indicted,
convicted, hanged, drawn and quartered.

12. The question is moot.
Sadly, Bush is not going to be punished by anybody.

15. He should be fined fifty billion dollars and imprisoned for life
without parole. He and his cronies should be forced to pay retribution for the money spent in Afghanistan and Iraq and damages to the families whose husbands and children were killed or wounded. Even that would only be the smallest "drop in the bucket" to what the truly owed civilization.

If the human race survives this onslaught, the Republican coup d'etat will be studied in schools and Universities of hundreds of years as an example of how politics can get out of hand. Safeguards will be built into the political system to try to prevent a recurrence of Republican "coup".


Example: Blackwell of Ohio is running for governor. He is also in charge of the elections and he has the memory cards from every voting machine in the state stored in HIS office. How could that be legal? What kind of a system or constituency would allow such a blatant misuse of power? These are the kinds of things good laws could easily prevent. Hello Ohio. Are you proud of your political system? You have already stolen the 20 electoral votes in the 2004 election that carried Bush into office. Now, you are going to allow the chief thief Blackwell to become even more powerful. Are you drunk? Are you crazy or am I just overlooking something more obvious?
