Twice fooled–shame on us: The case for impeachment

[dweller]

By William John Cox

June 25, 2005—George W. Bush stole the 2000 election and we let him get
away with it. While the Democrats cried because Al Gore had won the vote,
the Republicans counted their loot and planned the next heist. Crime does
pay when the justices of the Supreme Court are in on the caper, and they
can't be impeached if the crooks control the Congress.

At first, most of us (irrespective of politics) thought that, even though Bush
was sort of a goofy guy, Cheney, Rumsfeld and the other retainers from the
reigns of Ronnie the Great and George I would be able to run things for four
years. The world was at peace, the economy was good, and, much as he
had done for the Rangers baseball team, Bush would play the part, lead the
cheers and leave the big decisions to those better equipped to think deep
thoughts. Sooner or later, the voters would catch on that they'd been had,
and the doofus would be replaced with someone who could read, write and
think for him (or her)self.

But, suddenly, on September 11, 2001, the game changed. At first, things
appeared the same. While the president was flying around in circles, without
a clue and out of touch, Cheney and the other grownups dealt with the
emergency and scripted Bush's response.

It has now been proven that Bush was repeatedly warned that Osama bin
Laden was planning suicide attacks on the country with hijacked commercial
jets; however, we will never know if he intentionally allowed it to happen or
was just too dumb and distracted to care. We do know that by 9/11 the U.S.
economy was in the toilet, the Bush administration was in trouble, and all of
its policies and decisions were being driven by what was best for big
business, the oil industry and the Saudi sheiks. The neocons in his
administration probably didn't plan the 9/11 attack; they may not have
knowingly allowed it to take place, but it was certainly fortunate for their
program. And, we quickly learned what that program was all about.

1. According to American Journalism

Bush was the guy that you wanted to have in your house for a beer, this was the overiding issue in the 2000 Presidential election, the problem was that while the nation was partying with the President, the neocons were stealing the family silver.

2. Even Bush's folksiness is utterly fake

3. I would say

that he is a master at faking sincerity, but I cannot even give him that dubious credit. I percieved him as fake as a traveling medicine man in the old west,drink this tonic and it will cure what ails you whatever that is. He could not have done this without his corporate owned media monopoly to cover for him and enable him to the top, all for their own selfish agenda which had nothing to do with what was best for America.

4. I trust him less than I trusted Reagan.

And that's going about as low in the barrel as you can.
