We have a really sick puppy running this country.

[Raven]

I listened to him tonight. He cannot speak without a script and he cannot follow the script unless he reads one...sentence...at...a...time. He seems uninvolved, distracted, disconnected. He now blames the anti war folks for the surge of Al Quida in Iraq. He takes no responsibility at all. He talks about politicians running the war from 6,000 miles away but exempts himself from that group. He was an idiot who has become a maniac. He does not have the brain power to keep a thought in his head long enough not to be prompted. He has no empathy, no conscience, no humanity. He will never negotiate because he has not the intelligence that it takes to negotiate. He may be a puppet, he may be a drunk, but I know he is a politician without a shred of decency. He is a very dangerous man right now. We will survive him if we are smart about 2008 but it will take until after I am dead and gone to make things right again, if we ever can. Very sad night tonight for us and this country and this world. Very sad.

1. Amen Raven....

[Rosa Luxemburg]

2. If you got him in a goody bag you would return it?

remember these people ARE dangerous. They would kill their own to succeed.

[Lisa]

7. by definition, any bag with him in it would NOT be a "goody bag"

Quite the opposite, in fact!

[murielm99]

15. It would be a blivet bag.

Ten pounds of shit in a five-pound bag.

3. I object to the DOG analog

:evilgrin:

[Bluebear]

4. A very dangerous man. The USA and the world is in danger. nt

[Bitwit1234]

5. If the MSM had any character and compassion for the American people

they would tell the country just what a megamanic this man is. They would have an expose` showing all the crooked, demented actions he has taken since he took office. But that will never happen. As long as the republicans own these news outlets we won't get anything like that.

It is a shame that the democrats don't buy up all the newspapers and TV and start to tell the world just what he is.

[Mandate My Ass]

12. Exactly. The whole system is diseased and dangerous

Without a fairness doctrine and a strong opposition party that represents the will of the people and the rule of law, I fear any change in the executive branch will be putting a band-aid on a hemorrhaging artery.

[Phredicles]

6. Yeah, I fear that if the next president doesn't get it right and take

strong steps towards undoing the damage that crowd has done, that will be the last one. hell, sometimes I worry it may already be too late...

But "an idiot who has become a maniac" is as apt and succinct a description of The Decider as I have seen.

[classof56]

8. Well said, Raven.

I have long since run out of words to articulate my feelings about this miserable excuse for a human being. Thanks for saying it for me. I too will be dead and gone before things are ever right again in my country. Never have I felt such a sense of despair for my children and grandchildren.

Tired Old Cynic

[yy4me]

47. Ditto, classof56, I fear for my family too. I am also a tired old

cynic and an angry one too.

[Gato Moteado]

he actually doesn't run anything......

.....he's a puppet. an empty suit. a chimp pushed out to front a bunch of greedy multinational corporations. everything he does is theater. he makes no decisions whatsoever. bank on it.

[acmavm]

19. And they're more dangerous than Chimpy ever thought of being.

[Skittles]

34. not so sure

I believe this puppet really thinks he is a real president and that is what makes him so dangerous now

[Gato Moteado]

46. i agree that he thinks he's in charge......

.....but everything he does is scripted for him.

[karlrschneider]

9. Not a sick puppy. A rabid Rat.

10. Kique!

:patriot:

[LSparkle]

11. I agree completely -- yet the sucky msm won't SAY IT

The man is slurring his words ... he can't read a speech competently ... yet they won't acknowledge the elephant in the room: the guy is obviously medicated (self- or otherwise) and should not be allowed to run this country into the ditch.

[partylessinOhio]

13. Bravo! Bush needs to be removed from office ASAP!

We are all in danger. America is in danger.

The world is a more dangerous place than it has ever been because we have let this maniac remain in an office that he stole by two dishonest elections.

Get him out of there! IMPEACH!

[SammyWinstonJack]

14. He is self-serving, self-involved, self-absorbed, total disconnect from reality.

He has no empathy, he is paranoid, he lack any self-esteem, that is glaring apparent. He is beholden to his corrupt corporate campaign contributors and everyone else can go cheney themselves. He has singlehandly made this country and the world a much more dangerous place. He is delusional and did I mention he is paranoid?

Text of CA Democratic Party Impeachment Resolution
April 30, 2007, San Diego, CA
CALLING FOR FULL INVESTIGATION INTO ABUSES OF POWER
BY PRESIDENT GEORGE W. BUSH AND RICHARD B. CHENEY

WHEREAS, George W. Bush and Richard B. Cheney have acted in a manner contrary to their trust as President and Vice President, subversive of the Constitution, to the great prejudice of the cause of law and justice, and to the manifest injury of the people of California and the United States of America, by intentionally disseminating and propagating knowingly false and fabricated “evidence” regarding the threat from Iraq in order to wage a tragic, bloody war with the loss of thousands of brave American troops and Iraqi civilians, and

WHEREAS, it is clear that since September 11, 2001, President George W. Bush and Vice President Dick Cheney have abused their powers of office by: 1) using information they knew to be false as justification for the U.S. invasion of Iraq; 2) condoning and authorizing the torture of prisoners of war; 3) authorizing wiretaps on U.S. citizens without obtaining a warrant; 4) disclosing the name of an undercover CIA operative contrary to law in order to harm her for her husband’s opposition to the Iraq War; 5) having suspended and denied the historic Writ of Habeas Corpus by ordering the indefinite detention of so-called enemy combatants without charge and without access to legal counsel; and 6) overstepping Presidential authority by signing statements used to ignore or circumvent portions of over 750 Congressional statutes he brought into law; and

THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED, that the California Democratic Party supports vigorous investigation of these charges by the Congress of the United States, including the full use of Congressional subpoena power authority to completely disclose the actions of the Administration to the American people and to take necessary action to call the Administration to account with appropriate remedies and punishment, including impeachment.

Submitted by Senator Art Torres (Ret.), Chairman of the California Democratic Party; CDP Resolutions Co-Chairs; Emily Thurber; Bob Farran; Michael Barnett; Tim Carpenter, Joye Swan; Patrick Henry Demo Club; 69th AD Cmte.; The Hull-Richters; Alexandar, Mark and Natasha

(Adopted April 29, 2007)

20. My Home State!

:applause:

[vickitulsa]

48. Together in one thread -- the OP and this post, to sum up the whole

situation concisely and brilliantly!

I wholeheartedly concur with both sources' charges and sentiments and hope this is how the dim son and his right arm and the rest of his thugs go down in the history books.

Only one area where I diverge from the OP, simply because I am no longer essentially sad about this entire situation. It's depressing, yes, and I've been very sad at times about what has happened to my country. What "they" have DONE to OUR country!

The thing is, I have gone from anger at the electoral coup by the Supreme Court in 2000 to sad and discouraged, sometimes deeply so, then back to anger again with heaps of frustration. I have even felt horribly ashamed before the world at what my country has come to represent to them.

But at this point, my naturally optimistic attitude has reasserted itself and my inherent tendency to "fight back" has assumed prominence in my heart, and in my mind, too.

So, while I am still sad and angry and all those other things at times, overall I have hope that the wrongs can be righted, at least to a large extent, if not completely.

I am not fully confident that the situation will be reversed, but I feel it is possible to accomplish real correction and amelioration if all the right elements can line up at one time.

I simply refuse to accept that we citizens of the United States will fail to take back our country and re-establish a decent reputation for it.

I know it seems like the world is, as one poster put it, at the most dangerous place it has ever been. Perhaps that is true, but I tend to think it might not be. I consider what people must have thought during the two world wars, for instance. Seems quite likely that many would have felt there was no way everything could be "put back" or repaired or lifted out of the depths of danger and despair, even after the battles ended and the guns fell silent.

Human beings are amazingly resilient creatures, after all. It's a good thing, because a lot of the chaos, destruction, and insanity that we've had to endure was of our own making, and we needed to have confidence that we could also turn things around.

Maybe it's as simple as realizing that, well, "we broke it, so we can fix it," I'm not sure.

Clearly, it won't be an easy or rapid repair job, but that doesn't signify, in itself, that we can't do it.

I even think by now that it's quite possible, given the growing opposition to and loathing of the Bu$hCo Worldcrimes Syndicate, that in due time we will see those who led the madness and ordered the destruction portrayed pretty much as they truly are. If so, our children and grandchildren might well read about the "worst President ever" in some gruesome detail in their history books.

The world might, along with us, repeat the warning phrase, "NEVER AGAIN," with respect to the lessons we learned from the huge mistake that was the George W. Bush presidency.

I can even foresee a time when almost every single thing this cabal has done while in power will be considered automatically suspect and subject to review and reversal or at least modification to ensure the great harm to humans and the planet we share with millions of other species will not be continued as Bu$hCo set it up to be.

Above all, I believe that we MUST, each and every one of us, refuse to give in to sadness and despair and give up. Instead we MUST find the courage and the strength of will to keep fighting back until we prevail. Even if it takes every ounce of our store of resilience and determination, we MUST resolve to resist surrender, resist resignation. And we must utilize every last bit of our stores of compassion and empathy for others around the globe, as we set to work righting the course of the future.

I do not think it's hopeless! I have a veritable wellspring of hope abiding within me, even though it is sometimes frozen up a bit in the harshest of cruel winters of the soul.

I just can't believe we are doomed, and it's not simply because I'm in denial or "dreaming." I really do believe we can -- and likely WILL -- make an evolutionary "leap" as a race of beings who saw how dangerously close we came to making the worst of our lives here on earth, and choose to do what we must to making the BEST of our collective existence.

Right, my friends? Does that ring true to anyone else?

I sure hope so! :) Because if we're going to succeed, we need everyone to believe we can succeed.

Is anybody with me?

[bdamomma]

30. Bill Maher the other nite called him a paranoid schizophrenic

yea, he is that and alot more. We got to get this jerk out. Geez, we even have to be careful what we say this is not America, under bush rule. Cause I have a few choice words for *'ie.

[DemReadingDU]

16. He is so very sick.

Why can't the loyal bushies see how sick he is? Maybe they all have the same illness.

[tavalon]

18. It's the drugs

both past and present.

But I know I'm not telling you anything you don't know.

[Raven]

21. Might be the ego/hubris fueled by drugs, but he is having a fine time

when he can spin on his heel and leave the room as he did tonight...when he can exit US1 and have everybody at attention...when he can paly "dress up" in a flight suit and pretend that he actually did something in a war. This is all so clear to me now. This man is proving his manhood at the world's expense. He is trying to get the attention and love of his cold mother at the nation's expense. He's trying to win the approval of his father at our grandchildrens' expense. It is very, very clear.

[tavalon]

22. Oh yes,

it's been clear for quite a while. The thing that gives lie to the idea that he is a sociopath is the fact that he tries so hard to get approval from his mommy and daddy. He's got more of a borderline personality behavior type going on there with a huge dollop of narcissistic personality disorder thrown in as a special gift from his over entitled mommy dearest.

So where the heck is your son's essay on the fourth anniversary of Mission (Not) Accomplished? I expected he would have it out by noon. He isn't on vacation, is he? Not that he doesn't deserve one, mind you, but he is one of the greatest writers out there and I've been waiting with great anticipation...........

Crack that whip, would you?

[Raven]

27. I was wondering the same thing. Talked to Will tonight and

he was working on something that sounded pretty difficult to me. It will be out soon, I think.

[tavalon]

29. Excellent!

His stuff is well worth waiting for.

[SammyWinstonJack]

23. Agree! nt

[bdamomma]

32. yea, we all know here what we are dealing with, but some others don't

I don't know what to say anymore except, THROW HIS ASS OUT NOW.

He just does not care what anyone thinks especially the American people.

[many a good man]

24. He's just a shining example of your typical Republican

Welcome to the 21st century!

26. very good post, we have a sick sick man ( the word man is to be questioned)

he is not listening to no one, no one, not the Generals only his sick mind and unending greed, I hope the Congress stands firm. * is ignorant and arrogant, and we have our work to do, keep on the backs of this Congress. We have a defiant and dangerous man in office, he is a sick SOB.

[calimary]

28. Aw... a sick puppy I would love and take care of and try to help.

I want NOTHING TO DO WITH THIS ASSHOLE. A sick puppy would be a sympathetic creature. This schmuck is anything but.

[Morgana LaFey]

33. When the U.S. ceases to exist, the historians -- if there are any --

will trace back to this period of time and name George W. Bush as one of THE key reasons for its demise and the Iraq war as the main trigger.

I should say this as a possibility: IF the U.S. ceases to exist because not written in stone. I believe (sense) that there is a chance that the U.S. will disintegrate. Between Global Warming and the coming economic crises, it's gonna get rough.

They really DO explain it all, including bu$hit's odd detachment and vacant dialect. The man is a psychopath. I really think he needs to be professionally evaluated and locked up - padded cell. Straightjacket. Men in white coats keeping watch. No contact w/ the outside world (since he doesn't live there anyway, in his mind).

[HCE SuiGeneris]

41. And knowing this (as most do -- if even on a subconscious level),

is incredibly debilitating to our citizenry. The world waits with baited breath as Dumbya flails about in his psychotic haze.

[Cleita]

42. If there aren't any decent Republicans willing to remove him

to the funny farm where he belongs, there isn't any hope of it happening. It will take his own party to end this like they did with Nixon.

[Oilwellian]

43. Raven, I totally agree

I've never been more concerned for my children and grandchildren, than I am now. We are in very serious danger and I pray the powers that be realize how near we are to falling into the abyss. They better do something before it's too late.

[corkhead]

44. Thanks for putting into words exactly what my impression of his speech was

I was unable to articulate it, I was speechless.

The Dems hold all the cards. Eventually enough Republicks are going to vote along with Dems to override, and then this chapter of a much bigger national nightmare will be over.
