Apparently, there is no end to the bad news coming out of BushLand. It's almost

[hisownpetard]

beyond the imagination, the schemes they have come up with to defaud, defile and destroy the very values
and constructs that have made out country what it is - or, more correctly, what it was.

I hope the American public and American politicians will not tire of getting to the bottom of all
the rot they've injected into the bottom of every barrel. I believe it will take years, and a tremendous amount of
determination and focus to expose everything they've done in the name of their leader. The headlines may
seem like duplicates, they may lose their punch: Americans and politicians will have to be dedicated, long-term,
to righting the wrongs the Republicans have done and to painstakingly restoring the Constitution.

However, I wholeheartedly hope that every last one of these BushBots will be punished accordingly for what I consider to be the most
blatantly Un-American crimes ever perpetrated, those which go against the very nature and intent of our Constitution, resulting in the lethal
bacteria of a sub-culture that must be exposed and treated most aggressively in order to restore our country to its former (and, hopefully,
its future) greatness.

Will this happen, or will all the outrage just be swept under the rug once the Democrats are swept into total-majority-power?

[seafan]

1. We've just ripped that rug off of their lies. We The People will NEVER let this stand. n/t

[hisownpetard]

2. I fervently hope that's true, but some people get easily bored...

[AuntPatsy]

3. I wouldn't say bored, it is more in the line of redirected...I see it happening

more and more, even we here on DU have allowed it to happen to us, I admit it does to me.

[hisownpetard]

6. I know. So, how do we keep this "kicked" and up front in people's minds until

those who committed these crimes again America are held accountable?

[AuntPatsy]

7. By ignoring and allowing to drop the threads that offer no solution only diversions.

[seafan]

4. It takes a 2 X 4 upside the head sometimes, but they are waking up. n/t

[hisownpetard]

5. I agree - it finally seems to be sinking in. But do you think the Dems who will

most likely be elected in '08 will be so happy to be in charge that they'll look for
bigger headlines instead of doing the due diligence to punish the BushCo criminals?
Will they consider it 'water under the bridge,' (and I'm not referring only to Katrina).

[seafan]

8. Because Dems did not investigate IranContra, Poppy's dealings, etc., we are in grave danger today.

The same people are now infesting our government, running it as a criminal enterprise.


When Democrats solidify their power in Congress and retake the WH next year, they will be forced to investigate all of this, because the people in this country now know what this criminal administration is doing and we will never let it all rest until we see all of these criminals have their date with LADY JUSTICE.



Here is a good review of how ignoring these ba$tard$ in and after 1992 was a grave error.


Iran Contra Pardons Saved Poppy Bush

ROBERT PARRY
February 19, 2001

In marked contrast to the continuing Republican investigations of President Clinton, the Democrats eight years ago cooperated with Republicans in shutting down substantive inquiries that implicated President George H.W. Bush in a variety of geopolitical scandals.

At that time, the Democrats apparently felt that pursuing those inquiries into Bush's role in secret contacts with Iran both in 1980 and during the Iran-contra affair and getting to the bottom of alleged CIA military support for Saddam Hussein's Iraq in the mid-1980s would distract from the domestic policy goals at the start of the Clinton presidency. That judgment, however, has come back to haunt the Democrats. Clearing George H.W. Bush in 1993 ironically set the stage both for the Republican scandal-mongering against Clinton and for the restoration of the Bush family dynasty in 2000.

Certainly, the Democratic gestures of bipartisanship were not reciprocated by the Republicans. They opted for a pattern of aggressive politics that challenged the Clinton administration from its first days and has continued through the 2000 Election and into the new round of investigations of ex-President Clinton.

The Democrats have found themselves constantly on the defensive, sputtering about the unfairness of it all.

9. We The People have stood for 4 years of war. 4000 soldiers killed.

We've stood while thousands more have been maimed and then forgotten.
We've stood while a million Iraqis have been killed and many more mad refugees.
We've stood while Bush and the Congress have shredded the Constitution.
We've stood while mercenary armies are allowed to kill with impunity.

Just when do you think we will make a stand?

[seafan]

10. Marching, shouting, writing, calling, organizing is not "standing for" what the administration does.

Neither is being tasered for legitimately protesting.


We've had our entire system of government hijacked by thieves. And that is how they try to cripple us, by removing the tools we have as citizens to set it right again.

Don't ever think that the gratuitous impeachment of Bill Clinton wasn't undertaken to so sully the process of impeachment, that when it is now gravely needed to remove a tyrannical despot from power, the politicization of the whole process against Clinton now virtually ensures that Dems are too frightened to wield it now, when it is needed to restore our Constitution.


The DOJ now follows BushLaw.

The State Department no longer believes in dialog to solve international conflict....just send BlackwaterUSA to do the job.



The workings of our Constitutional government have been stolen from us, along with control over a media that now spout BushPropagandaAllTheTime.



It's just like Bush blaming the Iraqis for *not standing up for themselves* when he cut them off at the knees, figuratively and literally. But the Iraqis still have not allowed Bush to steal control of their oil, and he is hopping mad over it.

So please don't try to say that we in our country aren't "standing up".

Bush will never stop us from stopping him.

[hisownpetard]

11. Excellent post. I do think, however, that the poster who asked when we are going to

stand up is not referring to WeThePeople (who have, indeed, done and are doing everything
you mentioned to derail Bush & Co) but, rather, is referring to our duly elected Democrats who
keep saying we don't have the votes, blah blah blah, etc.

[paparush]

12. Bush will never stop us from stopping him????? WTF? When is this 'never' going to begin?

Personally, I can't wait for us to stop Bush. I'm just wondering what it will take for the People to actually do something about Bush. I've marched in DC. I've written letters. I've called congress. I've talked to people on the street.

But, if we as a people are generally un-moved by four years of bloodshed, what is it going to take to get us to stop Bush. So far, we haven't done shit. Two months after the election, the election that was a referendum on the war, does Bush pull troops out? Hell no, the bastard sends more in. It was a huge 'screw you' to the anti-war movement. We haven't done anything to stop Bush. He acts with impunity.

[lonestarnot]

13. And do what?

[L. Coyote]

14. Considering bribery and corruption, how many laws were passed undemocratically?
