How can you blame the liberals? — especially since they have controlled congress for all of three days!

But I don’t think the legislative branch can do very much to stop the executive from declaring “no laws apply to me.”

I’m pretty sure that only the courts can rule on this kind of thing — and I think it will probably come to that. Of course, the conservatives will howl “kill the liberal judges” if the courts rule against the Bush administration.

The Bush Administration, if true to form, will counter the Supreme Court with blatant noncompliance.

Then the only redress is impeachment but after the blow-job impeachment clown show, few of us Americans have any energy for another impeachment, even though this is a much more worthy issue.

So, I predict we’ll just live with this Bush mess.

But he is. You can say he isn’t a Goldwater conservative but that was then and this his now. Bush is a conservative. My conservative friends have argued for years that he is the best-kind of conservative.

The vast majority of American conservatives strongly supported every major initiative Bush took, with the first sign of stress over immigration reform. It is very hard to claim that Bush does not represent (modern) conservatism.

Saying “Bush is not a real conservative” is akin to Muslims who say “bin Laden is not a real Muslim”… and then consider the issue settled.

Real or not, both men are supported by large constituencies who consider themselves true conservatives or Muslims, respectively.

“Our” government wants to track our mail, e-mail, and phone conversations, meanwhile the Government has sealed a once available White house visitor logs and hide behind executive privilege. We lost the Bill of Rights and gained a police state. How could you think anything else?

Hopefully the next administration will change this back to a more open government.

Do you think our Government can last another 200yrs with this crap?

It won’t change with the next administration either, democrat or republican, so get over it.

Can the Democrats and Libertarians stop the deterioration of our civil rights by the Republican Party?

Is it time to fight the republicans in the streets? YES !! Afraid of their obnoxiously large suburban McMansions, SUV Hummers, and fat wives?

Don’t be !! It’s an illusion – those big homes are made of particle board and plaster. Hummers break down off road – you can get them there. Defeat their fat wives by burning down the Cheesecake factory and get Oprah on our side – they will fall apart.

Anyway, I don’t think this is about 9/11, Bush was born with a silver spoon up his end, and never really had to depend on common people, those outside of his families circle. Everything he hasn’t accomplished has been given to him. So he doesn’t believe or see value in the average Joe 6-pack American. That’s why even while campaigning he can only meets people on a prearranged basis. He is really not the aferable Texan he portrays himself as.

The only legacy this dufus will have is as a self-centered A-Hole.

Hey, I thought your mother told you a million times NOT to exaggerate.

Offhand question, do you guys support John Ashcroft’s decision to not let the FBI look through gun purchase records for the names of 9/11 hijackers? This could potentially have found the names of others associated with them. However, the gun records were not intended to be a registry of gun purchases, so Ashcroft said no.

Useless fucking government

He’s not even a Republican.
