It’s OK for BIG DICK to take care of his own personal life by not allowing the crust of the world to touch upon his territory for reasons
of unlawfulness. But thats OK just don’t you do it.
They forget they are human as well and the laws only apply to everyone else.
A dictatorship in the making and no one seems to care. The terminology used by the mesmerized media is king .. I suppose George is king and DICK is assistant king.
I just can’t make sense of it anymore …
The end of democracy is nearer than we think …

You have to fight corruption with corruption. Waving the US law or US constitution in their face is not going to do much good as they don’t care about it. You have the right to bear arms, use it.

We can say all we want, but who here is ready to step up and do anything??? I get all the emails from different leftist groups urging us to sent letters and such, but we’re not actually accomplishing anything. Any voice of reason that actually throws down is silenced (look at Cindy Sheehan)…

We all know Bush lied and Cheney cheated, but apparently even our checks and balances are defiled. Everything this country was built on is now infected and dissolute.

We need to cleanse the debauched bureaucrats AS IS OUR CONSTITUTIONAL RIGHT!

But who will actually do it?

Or do we all just sit here on discussion threads and agree about how bad things have gotten?

CHENEY NOR BUSH WILL CHANGE UNTIL THE DEMOCRATS GET A BACKBONE. THEY ARE GUTLESS AND NEED TO LEARN HOW TO GO UP AGAINST THE REPUBLICANS, THE ONE THING REPUBLICANS ARE GREAT AT IS PR AND SPINNING EVERYTHING SOMETHING THE DEMOCRATS SERIOUSLY LACK AT. CHENEY AND BUSH COULD BE STOPPED IF AMERICANS WANTED IT STOPPED YOU ARE THE MAJORITY!!! CHENEY IS THE WAR CHENEY DOES WANT WORLD WAR THREE AND BUSH IS TO STUPID TO KNOW WHAT GOES ON AROUND HIM DAILY HE IS THERE PUPPET. I FEEL EVEN CHENEY’S ROLE AS VICE PRESIDENT HAS BEEN ILLEGAL HE HAS HAD TO MUCH POWER MORE THAN PROBABLY ANY PRIOR VICE PRESIDENT AND HALIBURTON WILL THRIVE WITH HIM THERE THAT IS WHY IRAQ IS HAPPENING. BUT UNTIL CONGRESS AND THE SENATE STOP MAKING DEALS AND THE CONGRESS REALIZES THE NEED TO STOP COWERING TO THEM THIS WILL NOT END TILL 09. AND IT WILL BE TO LATE THEN. ANOTHER THING THAT IS VERY DISTURBING IS THE CONSTITUTION BEING IGNORED THEY HAVE BROKE SO MANY LAWS YET NO ONE IS DOING ANYTHING WHY IS THAT? CHENEY AND BUSH SEEM TO THINK THE CONSTITUTION IS WHAT EVER THEY WANT IT TO MEAN TO SUIT THERE UNJUSTIFIED ACTIVITIES.

Bush, Cheney, Gonzales Company is akin to an 18-wheeler running over a road called the Constitution inclusive of the people of the United States. As it stands now, no one in the oversight capacity of our govt has the courage to attempt to put a stop to their activites, so they will continue forward gaining more momentum and becoming more brazen. We are in precarious times.

“Whatâ€™s the matter, get tired of your pedophile moniker?”

Nope, Jake is just the personality that came out to play on this thread. There rarely is more than one troll on each thread. Jake/Mr President/Michael/pedophile are all personalities of one very disturbed individual.

I wish there really was a way to set a moniker to “ignore” other than skipping past their posts. That would solve part of my problem with this site. The other problem is all the posters who play with the trolls. I frequently give up on reading a thread when it deteriorates to a food fight between the resident troll and the resident “let’s play with the troll” sets.

It sure would be nice if Cheney and cronies would actually be held accountable for even one of the laws we know they’ve broken. Something– anything! At what point do these anti-Constititutionalists get thrown in a cell?

It must be so depressing to the good people at Think Progress who give us this critical (& correct) information every day to see what usually happens in the comments afterwards. It seems to always devolve into bathroom humor or someone picking on a troll for whatever alternate reality they choose for that day or a personal battle between a couple of readers about something completely off topic that goes on foreeeeeever. Please! Can we all just try to take the facts…the truth… that Think Progress gives us and do something useful with them/it? Even if it’s just a really good comment section it’s better than what we’re doing now. Show some gratitude for what these folks do for us in this sea of misinformation being spoon-fed to us by Commander Codpiece and the Neo-Clowns. How would you feel if one day these good people just say “you know what?… nevermind – we don’t feel like doing this either”? Where will you get your truth from then? We should be making real suggestions about what to do, telling stories of successes or failures with our elected (or not) officials so others can duplicate or tweek strategies, not name-calling or giving a platform to trolls. Progressives are better than this. The reality based world should be stressing the facts, constantly, like they do with their talibangelical religion, just constantly be bludgeoning the public with the facts. If this means correcting their every sentence then do it. Let’s adopt a universal sound…like the scroinky beep from the game shows…eeeehhhh! WRONG! And then laugh cuz they’re wrong and the REAL story is yada, yada yada. How fun would it be if it catches on and before you know it we can just make the sound and, once again, as in days of yore, they will know something they are spewing is WRONG! Or print up “here’s your sign” cards…to be given out liberally (you’ll excuse the pun) when they become particularly unhinged from reality. And we will have those facts at hand because of terrific sites like Think Progress. Let’s raise the level of discourse just a tad….please?
“Good intentions will always be pleaded for every assumption of authority. It is hardly too strong to say that the Constitution was made to guard the people against the dangers of good intentions. There are men in all ages who mean to govern well, but they mean to govern. They promise to be good masters, but they mean to be masters.” Daniel Webster, 1825

“Subpoena him before Congress and authorize Special Counsel to investigate and bring charges. Stop playing around with these outlaws.
Comment by SouthWest Bob

“As long as Pelosi has trouble finding a table to put impeachment on, the Democrats are complicit with these criminals in office =P

“Comment by Wayne â€” May 29, 2007 @ 7:17 pm”

As long as the Democrats lack sufficent votes to do as you tantrumists demand, you will bash the Democrats, instead of the foot-dragging Republicans who are needed for such votes.

You’re the equivalent of a mindless pro-Bushit troll who doesn’t know what reality is, and doesn’t know what you’re talking about.

“When are the Democrats going to get off their asses and start doing something about the Bush Crime Family”

The trouble is that there is really only one real remedy and it’s a so-called “nuclear” option — impeachment. Until and unless they are willing to impeach a member of the Bush administration, beginning with Gonzalez and moving on to Cheney and Bush himself, the Bush administration will continue to play these games, confident that they can and will continue to get away with them.

Congress, absent a true “smoking gun” or a true groundswell of public opinion will not impeach and the courts will be really reluctant to get involved.

Doesn’t it just tick you off when you realize that Putin knows more about Cheney’s guests, comings and goings than the American people?

If logs for Cheneyâ€™s residence on the grounds of the Naval Observatory are subject to the Presidential Records Act, then it seems to me that the Secret Service committed a crime by destroying them.

When are the Democrats going to get off their asses and start doing something about the Bush Crime Family. Talk is cheap and that’s all we have gotten out of them, talk…talk…talk…please….talk…pretty please…talk. I am beginning to believe what the RepubliCONS say about the Democrats, and that is that they are their own worst enemy.
