Take heart. Dennis Kucinich is selflessly halting his juggernaut toward the Presidency and will impeach Bush, since that is obviously the solution to all below and where congress should be placing its first priority.

>Come on, just admit it. Bush is responsible everything wrong in the world including:
>
>Chechnya, where people face the dangers of disease as well as land mines
>Haiti, where thousands have been injured by political violence
>India, where more than 90 were massacred in October 2005
>Southern Sudan where thousands remain homeless
>Somalia, which has had no functioning central government since 1991
>Colombia, wracked by a 40-year-old civil conflict
>Uganda, where 1.6 million live in refugee camps
>Ivory Coast, where war has devastated the health care system
>Africa, where between 1999 and 2000 more people died of AIDS than in all the wars on the continent
>Burma, where 500,000 refugees have fled from
>North Korea where millions are starving

>>I'm not even sure what the logic is behind the 'consolidation' argument but I wasn't ignoring anything, just questioning a specious statement that somehow the entire state of everything is EVER the total result of the occupant of the white house. Especially the economy, but also the action or inaction or bone-headed action of the federal government in general. In many respects Bush and his cronies are weasels, but if you believe for a minute that Pelosi, Byrd and Reid are not, then you are hardly objective. Any party that can think of letting Hillary Clinton back in the White House - even on a tour - is not in a good position to criticize the prodigal son of the Bush clan. <s>

>>( and that said even realizing that like all right-thinking, enlightened people I realize that Bush is evil incarnate, worse than Hitler, Pol Pot, Vlad the Impaler and the guy Eli Wallach played in Clint Eastwood movies and that he would be the worst person ever in the history of the world if it weren't for Cheney ... )

>>>>>>>It seems like GWB has consolidated all three branches of government into one – the executive. We do not need a constitution but we do need an attorney general to interpret it.

>>>>>>An amazing accomplishment in that the legislative branch is controlled by Democrats <bg> but I suppose everything they do is still somehow Bush's fault? You really don't see the humor in that?

>>>>And so the theory is that not only is George Bush the stupidest president we've ever had but he outsmarted all the Democrats <s>
>>>
>>>Your statement that consolidation happened while the Dems controlled congress is just incorrect. It occurred when the Rs had majorities. So George had a lot of help.

>>>I'm surprised you ignored 6 years of George's admin to claim that the dems controlled congress in order to use the 'So everything is Bush's fault?' line.


Charles Hankey

Though a good deal is too strange to be believed, nothing is too strange to have happened.
- Thomas Hardy

Half the harm that is done in this world is due to people who want to feel important. They don't mean to do harm-- but the harm does not interest them. Or they do not see it, or they justify it because they are absorbed in the endless struggle to think well of themselves.

-- T. S. Eliot
Democracy is two wolves and a sheep voting on what to have for lunch.
Liberty is a well-armed sheep contesting the vote.
- Ben Franklin

Pardon him, Theodotus. He is a barbarian, and thinks that the customs of his tribe and island are the laws of nature.
