do you get the feeling that bush is 'goin' down'? am i just dreaming?

can i allow a slight grin to discomfort my frowning mug? it hurts to smile i've been frowning so long, but the last 2 weeks of bad news for bush has me almost giddy with anticipation. i feel like a little schoolgirl on prom night. or a kid on christmas morn, i can't wait to open my package and see w gone.

1. There was a breakthrough at my house last night
For the first time Mr. CMD dissed the *. It was just a tiny glimmer of light, but it was definitely there.

2. This is the most hopeful I've ever been
Their stock of unique strategies have run out. Another terra attack won't help them (Chimpy can't protect us), another war would look equally bogus, and the tax cuts we've already had aren't doing shit for the ever-worsening economy. The only thing they can do now is lie, lie, lie, and that's a hard road to ride for the next year.

4. Don't underestimate...
...the lengths this criminal administration will go to to win the next election. The economy is in the shitter and our soldiers are being killed needlessly so that Haliburten and carlyle can pillage oil and rebuilding contracts. W is under scrutiny for possible lies and treachery but still 40-50 percent of the sheep in this country still back him. These people don't care what lies were told to get us into war they just want blood. They don't care how retirement funds are ravaged as long as they think they are still getting theirs. All it will take is Nader or some other leftist spoiler to come in and we will have another bush filled 4 years. The right is going to spend the left to death, their money, their adds will speak to the uninformed, the ignorant will follow the loudest pushiest herdsman. I hope i am wrong.

5. Bush will have to suspend elections next year not to get thrown out
But we both agree that he'd do it.

6. i'm with you -- it's not bush -- it's americans
this country has no guilt or shame for the wreakage they are inflicting on others.
while i think there is hope for 04 -- this 9-11 business has exposed a brutal, unthinking self-centered america that is truly shocking.
i abhor bush -- but he is merely the head of the carbuncle.

7. What next?
If they go down before 2004 I do fear the instability we will face -- who replaces them? My dream scenario -- they regime remains in power until the election. The repugs in Congress develop some type of conscience and leave the lameducked. Believe me, I hate them with every fiber of my being, but what happens next? What is the line of succession?

8. for some reason
they view pushing tom ridge up in the rankings as an important matter. If that man ever were to become president we would have the fourth reich thrown into our laps. I have a very pessimistic/paranoid view of things, having read too much of nietzsche and Machiavelli to trust any right leaning entity in power. I believe their motives are even darker than most people think and they present a danger to the lives of any free thinking individual. My only hope is that they go too far too fast and ruin themselves but we haven't heard much from Cheney lately, who I will admit, is a genius and might be planning something horrible to get the voters back on their side.

9. You have to read Ron Paul's speech
Once you get past the first few pages he gets into the whole neo-con philosophy, Machiavelli and Strauss from U of C. It is very chilling.

11. unless dems are willing to attack the corporate castles
the current repuke seat of power will remain intact. and i'm not talking about george. i'm talking about, bechtel, g.e., exxon, lockheed-martin, boeing, etc -- a small club. but one that communicates with each other effectively -- and gets their point across to the american public very, very well. i could go on -- but it's too depressing.

16. remember - it only took 18 minutes of missing of audio tape ...
.... to bring Nixon down ....

...... and it will only take 16 words to take this repubehair down !!!!



Further proof of guilt:
Blair-Bush Body Count: Dr. David Kelly
Found Body Matches Missing UK Scientist -Police

LONDON (Reuters) - Police said the body of a man found earlier on Friday matched the description of Dr David Kelly, a former U.N. weapons inspector who became dragged into a political row over Britain's case for war against Iraq (news - web sites).

"We can confirm that the body matches the description of Dr Kelly. The body has not been formally identified," a police spokeswoman said.

Police announced they had found the body on Friday morning. Kelly went missing overnight after telling his family on Thursday he was going out for a walk.

The mild-mannered 59-year-old scientist was dragged into the political row over the case for war after the government said it thought he was the source for a BBC report that accused officials of hyping intelligence.

Kelly denied telling the broadcaster that officials had ordered dubious allegations about Iraqi weapons of mass destruction to be included in a government dossier. (Reporting by Peter Graff; editing by Steve Addison;)

13. 16 months to nov 04
and there isn't a damn thing that this sociopathic chimp* can do to reverse people opening their eyes. Sure we won an invasion, but, things aren't going according to plan. Pictures of dead american soldiers are being shown on the national network news as well as cable. Angry mobs of iraqis hurling stones and curses are shown as well. The economy is in the tank and the way to fix it is unthinkable for this bunch, it's top heavy now and when you get to much weight at the top of anything it'll collapse of it's own weight.
We see it now locally, American airlines will shut down the repair base at KCI in september, they took over twa scavanged what they wanted, and threw a competitor on the scrap heap. ADM is shutting down a processing plant in KC this week there goes another 72 jobs that will ripple out.
There is nothing the smirking chimp* the b.f.e.e. or the neocons can do, another terror attack points the finger squarely at the whitehouse. Even strong supporters are now shaking their heads at the imcompetence on display.
I'm not worried about anyone splitting the dem vote, I think a moderate repug will arise and leave w* with nothing but his riech wing base.
Yes, I smell change in the air and I like it.
