On a side note, if the president decides to share military technology, how can that be illegal? Doesn't the president have the final say on what is classified and what is not? i'll only allow this point because of its almost timely irony. turnabout = fairplay, even if delayed.

So you guys think Bush is a dictator? LOL So what are you going to do about it? Take up arms? Impeach him? preferably impeach. i mean, all kind of scandals, corruption, incompetance, unconstitutional activities, and lies... at this point i know a few girls who'd be willing to give the prez a bj or two if only to have a good laugh while the neo-cons defend the presidential right to oral sex. oh, and btw, clinton did it, so it's ok. frankly, we're too lazy to form an armed coup. we all keep sitting around hoping it never has to come to that, and trying to convince ourselves that it hasn't.
Sorry but you guys created this bed. Now lie in it and quit complaining. Hopefully, a true monster won't come along that actually does want to become a dictator or do things like start killing political opponents, or, you know, throw them into gitmo to rot while awaiting charges. oh, wait. the problem here is that bush is not being held accountable for his actions. the problem continues with yoru argument. you're trying to hold clinton responsible for bush's actions. it's really too bad clinton isn't the president. you guys just can't let go of your clinton bashing, can you? heck, i don't totally blame you. i'll be bashing hillary for years.

Thanks for making my point. you evidently missed the joke. i said i was only allowing it because of the irony factor -- it's the same argument the neo-cons used about bush. it's not excuseable when any president does it.

as has been said before .....democracy is a form on goverment that relies on the apathy of the population yes, i agree. once, i lost an essay contest in high school for writing on this theme. i say "lost" because there were 12 prizes, only 7 other people who entered, and i didn't win anything.

I heard similar comments before the 2004 election. Yet many of those critics managed to find was of voting for Bush anyway. loyalty is a dangerous thing.
I still say they need to grow some spine. as a democrat myself, i still feel the need to point out that we're winning in the jello competition.

I criticize Bush plenty can you refer me to a post or two of yours that criticizes bush, or the bush administration's policies?
but saying he is a dictator or wants to be is ridiculous. well, he was elected. sort of.but he thinks he can tell congress what to do? and he can block judicial actions? and he has the power to declare war without congress? and his executive branch locks people up in foreign military prisons, without charges? no, he's not even mildly a dictator. he's a decider.

jar, no you can't impeach him because it's not an impeachable offense under the standards the democrats established. like i said, it's gonna take a blowjob. turns out that's the only impeachable offense under the clinton standard. and i think from a guy, too. the republicans would find a way to justify with a girl -- i mean, clinton did it too. but if it was a GAY blowjob...

It happens. I won't quite have the posting frequency as other, as I couldn't care less about most of these topics. give it time. you'll be swatting neo-cons and fundies right and l... well, further right, in the political threads sooner or later.

if we ignore things like this, and let them go by -- because clearly it's not the end of the world -- eventually it will be. at what point does "i've heard this before" skepticism become outright denial?
and it's not the end of the world at all: facism HAS happened before. just not in this country. there are warning signs, and we know what they are. all one needs to do is read a history book.
