Who are the Bush Administration's Most Powerful Enemies?
Besides those of us who are democrats, liberals, thinking, decent, informed human beings, who has the power and the money to bring the adiministration down?

I suppose Soros would be one, but where is he and what is he doing? Certian European leaders would probably go on the list too, but what I really want to know is if there is an organized, powerful group that can help us in the fight to get rid of our neo-con leaders for good.

9. Yes, but what about organized, powerful and
with a plan?? If the administration has its way, our votes aren't going to matter in November.

There is so much to nail them on - Some group, somewhere in the world must be doing something that's going to make a difference, wouldn't you think?

4. George Soros
...and Warren Buffet are both less than thrilled with the Bush crime spree, and I know Soros is donating heavily to organizations dedicated to taking that bunch down.

I only hope their numbers mulitply.

7. Do you know what organizations?
I think it would be good to know so that we can donate our time or money.

5. You can't refer to "certain European leaders" - it hurts Powell's feelings

11. i think all the pro-democracy
musicians should get together and do a whole summer tour to benefit move-on et al, anyone who can collect the funds to counter rove's ad blitz pocketbook. it could be kind of like the lilith fair concept, a different city every week, different stars as their schedules permit. the dixie chicks, ani difranco, bruce springsteen, sting, u-2 and melissa etheridge immediately come to mind. i know there are many many more who hate the bush regime.

16. Now that's a GREAT idea!!
I hope they can get it together!! Why does our side still find it so hard to organize and mobilize?

Maybe they are all getting like me, disenheartened and depressed at what seems to be the lack of cohesion in our party. We will never get anywhere unless we unite and go on the offensive.

Right now, I am beginning to think it will take an "act of god" to get these pigs out of office.

13. Us.
The voters. When they are pissed enough to take a stand, that is. That's the thing that the Uglies in Charge seem to have forgotten. This country has a history of fighting for its beliefs. In particular when they've been backed into a corner.

(it seems as thought it takes forever to get to that point, though)

15. Should we add Howard Stern to the list?
He's been bashing Bush in a big way on a daily basis and he has a huge audience.

17. I've been really wondering
how the world leaders will react if * steals another election. Will they close ranks against him even more strongly?

Just a feeling, but I suspect he would find a lot of doors closing against him. The first time, I think other nations were apalled to see the controversial election, but because he was new in the office, they just waited to see how he would handle things. Now, everyone can see what a f---up he is, and I don't think they'll want to associate with him. Hell, some of them don't even do it now! Zapatero, Putin, and the Polish president have not been complimentary.

(Actually, I think any world leader who is complimentary to * would find his sanity questioned by his own country.)
