But then the FauxNewz whores would be contorting themselves 24/7 to explain the psychological benefits to Bush for spontaneously disrobing during a press conference as well as having sex with Taiwanese trannies.

Demand a special prosecutor be assigned with unlimited powers to subpena and investigate curruption / war crimes involving Iraq. Have another Special prosecutor assigned to Katrina.

Well that was big of you to admit that. Do you need a hug

.

Honestly all it would take is one man. Kennedy-like charisma, a man with a vision. All you can really hope for is the country lasts until such a man appears.

Bush with his signing statements and religious fervor can galvanize the support base. I wonder if that's what that fundamentalist nutcase (I forget which one there've been so many outed the past couple weeks) meant when he said "atheism doesn't fire up the blood." Like an addict on crack religious people can devote all their energies and livelihood into what they perceive to be their calling, and I don't think it's just the number of athiests or moderates that matters. Pornography, abortion, same-sex marriage are the domain of the crackpots yet they manage to make them national issues. And the only defense seems to be to protect the status quo, because that's at least something everybody can agree on (real conservatism is about "tried and tested ideas are better"). That is some fucked up shit, you've got a fucked up country. Thank god for our appointed Senate filled with actual competent people.

I think this is the best quote to sum up the state of affairs in America:

"Democracy as a government relies upon the ability of factions to compromise on divisive issues through rational debate instead of violence. The current political power brokers have figured out how to short circuit this process by focusing national attention on issues which are based on differences of non-negotiable, irrational moral sentiment, and are thus not subject to resolution through rational reconciliation. They've broken democracy."

Also, I'm not sure an appointed Senate would really be much better here in America; remember, who's going to do the appointing? It comes down to the fact that no system of government can really compensate for a populace that is seemingly hell-bent on not giving a damn and letting criminals run freely through the halls of the capitol. It's like trying to devise a set of rules for Monopoly to prevent people from cheating; you can devise any rules you want but in the end it's dependent on the players actually doing something when the banker starts giving himself more money.

Maybe you're right U235 maybe you're right. And if your Senators were appointed to life like ours were, you'd still have Senators from the racist age, the McCarthyism paranoia, and so on.

Like I said, wait until a real hero, or come to Canada. Before the roadblocks and retina scanners get installed at our border and the gangs take control of your streets preferably and you need an armored truck with motion sensors and an armored plow.

And what is anyone going to do about it? One, there isn't a hell of a lot of a paper trail. Bush-possessed could use a plain envelope and stamp, plain cash, and even leave a false return-address on it. Viola, no trail!

Granted, eventually they'd be able to find a way to track it. But so what? By the time they do, I'll have had *plenty* of time to put the money away in a safe place. And on top of that, what evidence do they have that I had *any* involvement in it, besides being the random address it was sent to? The OP states that my body was nowhere near the White House or prez before, during, and after that day. I could state I never even received any letter from the president.

The VP can't be fired by the President. Period.

Firing him Ernst Stavro Blofeld style should be possible. Just find a way to get rid of him permanently in a creative way.
