Comments on: Turley: Avoid Bush’s Executive Privilege Claim By Investigating NSA Program As A Crime http://thinkprogress.org/2007/06/28/nsa-turley/ Thu, 26 Nov 2009 15:55:03 -0500 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.8.5 hourly 1 By: Jericho http://thinkprogress.org/2007/06/28/nsa-turley/comment-page-2/#comment-3898100 Jericho Sat, 30 Jun 2007 23:16:55 +0000 http://edit.thinkprogress.org/2007/06/28/nsa-turley/#comment-3898100 This is far from the only crime that was ordered by Bush. How many life sentences will Bush serve for Iraq? 3000? Moronic leadership by moronic democracy for moronic people. We really need to convert to a communist system, run by progressives, who know best. This is far from the only crime that was ordered by Bush. How many life sentences will Bush serve for Iraq? 3000?

You earn it by being elected by a majority of the American people. You have to earn the respect of the office by your actions and decisions on behalf of the American people, not demand it. I don't believe Bush earned it (with fair elections and without resorting to seriously dirty and illegal tricks and manipulations), and he certainly has not proved that he deserves it or is worthy of it by demonstrating over and over again his penchant for his habitual abuse of power and his need for secrecy to hide his misdeeds and his constant lies. I believe through serious misdeeds of those in his Administration the last two elections were stolen. I believe that is what the firing of all the US Attorneys will turn out to be all about in the long run. These guys are not deserving of any respect. They are deserving of being charged with criminal offenses. We need to restore integrity to the office of the President AND the Vice President AND our Constitution. if they are charged, I think it is a no-brainer Gonzales will also be gone (along with Rove and others).
