The biggest problem with ridding the planet of tyranny is recognizing when you become the tyrant. Did George Bush take that first step toward becoming a tyrant when he stole the vote in Florida?

Mr. Bush refuses to consult with congress or the people ..... nine press conferences in the first three years!!
The war on terrorism has become the war on the Iraqi people .... to what end?

When do we get back to America? We have urgent problems AT HOME that can not solve themselves.

IT'S AMERICA STUPID

What I want to know is this:

When Bush was running for the office, it was apparent that the man was "short" in many of his personal departments; that he needed handlers and bigger and better brains around him. Where have these people gone to?

Or, has Bush become so emboldened by what he perceives to be personal growth in these minus columns, that his arrogance is running neck and neck with his cognitive abilities?

Where are the brains and saner minds in this administration?

If you judge by Colin Powell's latest activities, you come away with the belief that the better minds have been cowed into submission.

The change in Colin Powel is almost unbearable for me to think about. I had a tremendous amount of respect for him -- but most of it has gone down the drain.

I have no idea of how they turned him, but he has lost a tremendous amount of credibility with me -- and from the sounds of things --- with many, many Americans.

I am SO EMBARRASSED for GWR .......... especially when he opens his mouth!

It's not so much that GWR is incapable of an independent thought, it's that WE elected him {I didn't}...... and that's what worries me!

What can we be thinking?

If this war is so just, why is he having so much trouble selling it?
Two and one half of the ''twelve years' Iraq has been in violation have been on Bush's watch ..... now, all of a sudden there is a dire need????

Win an election.... then claim the people's will ....

He didn''t win Misti, he lost the popular vote then the supreme court jesters, the majority of whom were appointed by his father, stopped the counting of the ballots. He was ahead in the Floriida vote by a mere 500 votes .... there were better than one hundred thousand votes uncounted, mostly black votes.

More to the point ... America lost and I fear is about to pay the price, dearly.


Quoting from:

U.S. Commission On Civil Rights

STATUS REPORT ON PROBE OF ELECTION PRACTICES
IN FLORIDA DURING THE 2000 PRESIDENTIAL ELECTION


"Voter disenfranchisement appears to be at the heart of the issue. It is not a question of a recount or even an accurate count, but more pointedly the issue is those whose exclusion from the right to vote amounted to a "No Count."

But still... a Mandate From the People is a Mandate From the People.

voter disenfranchisement becomes citizen disenfranchisement.

Everyone that voted, no matter for who, had their vote thrown out, the only mandate was from three judges, Bush appointees.

What people seem to forget that besides the disputed vote in Florida Bush needed the vote of many other states. And he got it. Is it America stupid or stupid Americans. After listening to him one had to be as stupid as he is to have voted for him. What do you think that says about the intelligence of the American electorate?

Almost every day I have possibility to listen Mr. Bush on the Israeli national news (excerpts from his public speeches are being broadcasted when the situation around Iraq is being discussed). OK, I am a foreigner, and can miss nuances. But it seems to me that his manner of speech is quite coherent and does not make an impression of retarded person's talking. He does not look a think tank either, but no one of the politicians does, they usually have think tanks working for them. IMO, quite a normal man.
Maybe people exaggerate being bitter from their candidate's (Mr. Gore's) loss?

Yes, everyone who doesn't think like you is stupid. (Isn't that the first chapter in the Liberalism 101 textbook?)
