Bush was just a stupid (meaning not a whole lot upstairs) man who was a puppet figurehead of the Republican machine - whose only goal is to maximize the wealth of the wealthy, at the expense of ... everything and anything.
The real tragedy will be if McCain is elected. Not because he is any worse than anyone else, but because the same Republican machine will keep on chewing up and spitting out the middle class and the poor until there is nothing left.
It seems to me that in their unfettered greed for having it all NOW, the drivers of the Republicans party (i.e., the very very very very wealthy) have only ensured their own demise along with that the "lower" classes they need to support them. They will always need a middle class and poor class to "feed them", but their policies of the last 8 years or so are so severe that they have sucked all the wealth out of the system. I used to think that if they were immoral they were at least rational ... now I think they were just so greedy that they have screwed the USA for decades, if not forever.
*But really sir, how do you feel about them?*
I love John, I love Paul, And George and Ringo, I love them all!
All you've got to do is choose love. That's how I live it now. I learned a long time ago, I can feed the birds in my garden. I can't feed them all. -- Ringo Starr, Rolling Stone magazine, May 2007
For all I know, Ringo might be a yogi disguised as a drummer! - George Harrison
but you have to remember, that regardless of who's president, the problems with the country is the fact that the lobbyists control congress, not democrats or republicans, freaking lobbyists!
they're the ones that wanted the oil in iraq, they're the ones that got the building contracts (those close to mr cheney, that is) and the military contracts. We sold our souls and our countries to corporations. There needs to be a cleaning of those corrupt individuals within our government.
This may be the only time i suggest this, but we need someone with good intentions to be a dictator (not the modern sense of the word, but the origianl latin term) where the person in charge would have power for 6 months and then they would have to go back to their normal status.
the problem with that, is that we need someone who isn't tied down to political ties. so basically we'd need someone who isnt in politics.
George is simply the most blatant form of our corrupt system. it can only get better, but only if politicans stay out of it.
....threadjacking over. I hope you enjoyed your trip

Who do you have in mind for this?
... okay, I'll do it. But is that six month limit set in stone?
I read a Dutch news article today that I thought was pretty funny...
Boom Chicago is a team of American stand-up comedians working in the Netherlands. They've announced that this summer they will give a 5 euro discount for their shows to everyone who dares to say "I love George Bush!" out loud to the cassier. Since George W. Bush is not very popular here (understatement) they expect that a large majority will just pay the extra 5 euros.

Damn right I wouldn't go for the discount.
Boy George doesn't feel the love over here, either:
Group seeks Bush sewage 'tribute'
A citizens group in San Francisco wants to pay an ironic tribute to President George W Bush when he leaves office - by naming a sewage plant after him.
The group, calling itself the Presidential Memorial Committee of San Francisco, wants the issue voted on at this November's election.
"It's important to remember our leaders in the right historical context," said petition organiser Brian McConnell.
The Republican Party thinks the plan stinks, and it will fight the measure.
Mr McConnell's group has submitted more than 12,000 signatures on a petition to the San Francisco Department of Elections.
If at least 7,168 of those signatures are found to be valid, the question of whether to rename Oceanside Water Pollution Control Plant after the outgoing president will be added to the ballot papers in November.
"In President Bush's case, we think that we will be cleaning up a substantial mess for the next 10 or 20 years," said Mr McConnell.
"The sewage treatment facility's job is to clean up a mess, so we think it's a fitting tribute."
'Ashamed'
But one Californian Republican, Patrick Dorinson, said the plan was "a horrible idea".
"This is why San Francisco is considered wacky," the former California Republican Party spokesman told the Associated Press.
"It makes me ashamed to be a San Franciscan if this is all they've got time to do."
And a city official stressed that Oceanside offered "extraordinary environmental benefits".
"That's not our understanding of what the authors of this initiative believe the current president has delivered," said Tony Winnicker of the San Francisco Public Utilities Commission.
NAY and I can't vote. he is the reason we're going into a depression. well part of the reason. and he's the reason why people believe we should still be in Iraq.
Actually I think that the whole american government is screwed up! this whole country....I can't say.
Oh, that this too, too solid flesh would melt... Zap! My skin's soaked right through to the skin! "The Beatles will exist without us"
Bush is an IDIOT!!!! My mom calls him a "snuff dipper".......which is like calling him "white trash"??? The man is stupid!!! People can say what they want about Bill Clinton..........and it's not because he's from my home state, Arkansas,............but the country was in a hell of alot better shape when Bill was in office. Bush must be getting a "side kick" from this war and killing all our boys. They always said Prez Johnson back in the late 1960's, had his "cronnies" working over in Viet Nam and making him money on the war.........and "killing our boys"........so I'm thinking the same thing. Arrest me, "snuff dipper", I don't give a crap!!!
