The overwhelming negative reaction from Americans regarding

[yy4me]

Cheney's non-executive branch status is, i'm sure, bringing in tons of calls and e-mails to Congress.

Why do I feel there is a national security emergency looming over the horizon? Somehow ****, big-dick et al have to find a way to draw attention from this horrible additional abuse of power.

Wish I could start an on-line petition to our Speaker of the House. Take action now before we run out of time. It is beginning to look more and more dangerous.

1. There is NOTHING. NOTHING I'd put past dick. It's terror time.

[Vilis Veritas]

2. Come on. Stop worrying.

Waxman sent a letter.

Get it. A letter.

Anybody see that cat? All I have left is a grin...

[Dhalgren]

3. Do you think Cheney is preparing to fall on his sword for the Dictator?

Is something about to go down and since Cheney is not part of the Executive Branch, he will catch the brunt of something? What do your feelings tell you?

[Philosoraptor]

4. dick'll shoot into orit in an escape pod, Dr. Evil style.

I don't think dick plans on taking the blame for ANYTHING. We're in sci fi territory here.

[yardwork]

5. Cheney fall on his sword? No way.

All he cares about his money and power. Everyone else can go cheney themselves.

[Dhalgren]

9. Well, how does Cheney denying being part of the Executive Branch

signify some impending crisis? I was trying to work that out, but got bupkis...

[Double T]

8. cheney will NEVER fall on a sword for anything or anyone............

cheney will throw as many staffers as required under the bus to save his own miserable wretched ass!

10. My feelings tell me we are about ready for a national emergency

during which our pres and non-exec vp will declare martial law, take control of everything. They are running out of time, what with a new election on the horizon. Do I believe this? I don't know but I'm having nightmares about it.

Do I really think it could happen? Well, I never thought we'd find ourselves in the situation we are in now.

Everything is being talked about, everything is being investigated, nobody remembers anything.

Nothing is moving any faster than a snail's pace. My concept of government has been turned upside down.

11. If you haven't seen this thread, take a look.

I think that it may actually already be over...

John Conyers and the Bush Dictatorship
by Margaret Kimberley | Jun 8 2007


From Black Agenda Report

"If this were a dictatorship, it'd be a heck of a lot easier, just so long as I'm the dictator." - George W. Bush

snip//

The president announced that he is crowning himself king and thereby making his sick wishes come true. What should be a headline in every major newspaper in the nation has been covered only by the Boston Globe. None of the television networks have said a word nor has a peep been heard from Congress.

This announcement is consistent with other Bush administration actions. In 2006 the federal government awarded a contract to KBR, a subsidiary of Cheney's Halliburton, to build "detention centers" in case of a national immigration emergency. Homeland Security has already established an immigrant detention facility in Texas, the T. Don Hutto center, that has incarcerated entire families, including children. When U.N. human rights investigator Jorge Bustamante showed up for a pre-arranged visit he was refused entry and turned away.

Congress has also been silent about this blatant power grab and usurpation of its authority. The National Emergencies Act gives Congress the right to prevent open ended declarations of states of emergency, but that act's existence is not very comforting. If Congress won't even speak up about the National Continuity Policy, why would they speak up if Bush declared an emergency and told them to go to hell? Congressional Democratic leaders Harry Reid and Nancy Pelosi would once again go along to get along as the Bushites began a reign of terror against democracy.

6. Cheney

I've been so paranoid lately about Cheney that yesterday, when I read a post on DU re: "cadaver dogs" being sent to rescue a missing pregnant woman, I actually though they were talking about the Cheney women.

[whistle]

7. Cheney will push others on his sword, but he himself will never fall

...on his own sword

[spanone]

12. I don't think negativity bothers the dick. He has no conscience whatsoever.

[Philosoraptor]

13. Lord cheney gives not one fuck about how popular he is, or who dies for him.

15. #### the sleazy bastid! Hold someone accountable today!

[blues90]

16. Things are certainly looking more dangerous

Rather than hopeful . Bush and cheney have been right out front with their threats and statements but is seems many people take their comments lightly .

There is so much to try to keep on top of , each day there is another threat or reason to be concerned that you forget alot through the 7 years .

These criminals keep pounding their war drums while the dems are trying to play catch out .

It's out of control .
