Just sayin'. Been here since May of 2001. Musta seen that phrase ten thousand times by now. My fingers are getting cramped from crossing them.

[stray cat]

1. Not going to happen all we can hope is to minimize his damage

[Zomby Woof]

2. Or even more frequently and annoying

"Bush is TOAST." Which did taper off a lot after last November... but is poised to make a comeback.

[DistressedAmerican]

3. All The Damn Time! Sadly He Should Have Been Each Time!

Fucking parasite keeps sucking blood...

[paula777]

4. What can I say? People like to keep hope alive! n/t

[terrya]

5. I think it's around 47,369 times

Hell, frankly, I'll be happy if we take control of Congress in 2006.

[jus_the_facts]

6. too goddamn many...without the benefit of a moratorium on it....

:(

[donheld]

7. I'd sure like a dollar for every time

I'd do quite well.

[anarch]

8. haven't even been here that long, and I know what you mean...

maybe if we repeat it enough, it will come true? *crossing fingers*

[Lars39]

9. I ran errands today, stopping in at 6 places.

I heard angry griping at 5 out of 6 places.
I've lived here for 15 yrs and until just recently rarely ever heard a political conversation taking place in public.

[GOPisEvil]

10. Approximately 500 zillion.

He will be done in January 2009. He might have subterranean poll numbers by then, but he'll be around to finish his term. If I'm wrong, I'll admit it, but I suspect he'll survive to the end of his term.

[sabra]

11. When was the last time 10K+ Americans died from a disaster?

I do know what you are saying. But his 9/11 rhetoric has been thrown out the window, the media is finally waking up, and the ranks are finally being somewhat broken.

People will/are demanding accountability.

We shall see..

[Cleita]

12. Something about counting your chickens before the eggs hatch?

eom

[iconoclastic cat]

13. Three times.

[Green Mountain Dem]

14. I have been telling...

people that for the past week...talk about fuckin teflon!! I am usually very optimistic but I can't count the number of times I have heard ..."THIS is the ONE that will take Bush down"...next thing I see is one of his cronies receiving a fuckin Medal, and the MSM kissing his ass!

[watercolors]

15. To the point I don't believe it will ever happen!

NEVER EVER!

[Individualist]

16. How many times have you seen

so many republicans waking up to reality? How many times before now have you seen the broadcast media being critical of Bloody George? We're all aware that media has been a major problem with their cheerleading for the cabal. Some are still doing it, but facts are now getting out to the point that the sheeple are beginning to see that the emperor has no clothes. If he isn't done, then at least he has been minimized.

[MuseRider]

17. Zillions of times

and each time he should have been. Just wait, if we do well in 2006 we will see it every minute for a while. At least then it might be possible. I guess it depends on who we get in, if they have the courage. Not very encouraging is it?

[nothingshocksmeanymore]

18. If I had a nickel for everytime, I'd qualify for his tax cuts

[Mutley]

19. Countless times.

I see it all the time here, and trust me, I'd like nothing better than to see Shruby hung out to dry, but I just don't think it's going to happen. We'll likely have to wait until Jan 2009.

[mopaul]

20. approximately eleventy billion

[SammyWinstonJack]

21. Let's just say, I hope this time it comes true. nt

[NYCGirl]

22. "Bush is toast" comes in a close second! NT

[DeepModem Mom]

23. Way too many times -- if this is not it, it will not come....

and, frankly, I'm not hopeful. Combine a cabal willing to do anything to keep power not only for themselves, but for those of their ideology from now on, and an under-educated public, and this is what you get. The only hope I have in this enormous human tragedy, this diabolical failure of governance, is the refusal of some of the press, and not just the print press, to go along.

[CityDem]

24. Too many times

9/11, Enron, Plamegate, No WMD's, Inadequate Armor for Soldiers, Cheney Energy Task Force, High Unemployment, Lousy Economy, Richard Clarke, Paul O'Neil, Trifecta, Energy crisis/price gouging in Cali, AWOL/Deserter......

The list goes on, but * keeps his job. He will now appoint at least two and possibly 3 SCOTUS justices. He never has to run for election again so he really is not too concerned about his poll numbers. We are screwed.

[VolcanoJen]

25. I've been thinking this for days now.

We won't be rid of Bush and his Administration of Evil in earnest until January 20, 2009.

[BiggJawn]

26. Almost as many times as "This story has LEGS! *BIG* Legs!"

And always with the same net result.

Down the Memory Hole.

[Zomby Woof]

30. And "drip! drip! drip!"

"Just like Watergate!" :argh:

[GOPisEvil]

31. The difference is that Watergate was an issue with singular focus.

There's a different scandal every week with this current buch of thugs. Who can keep them all straight?

[deutsey]

33. There was also a relatively independent media

[Zomby Woof]

35. There are more differences than that

The media was more independent, less fragmented, less infotainment-oriented, less corporatized, and along the lines of what you said, people could focus on three networks competing with each other for only a half hour a night.

Plus, the best reason is it is different: We are much more jaded, with lower expectations now, as a result of how Watergate poisoned the well. It infected us, then we got rid of the pathogen, but the host built up an immunity which was strengthened by Iran-Contra and the repeal of the Fairness Doctrine.

[GOPisEvil]

39. That's very true. When I think of how no editor today could do what

Bradlee did then because the Post was independently owned, it makes me sick. I think a lot of reporters would love to dig deeper into stories, but their editors/corporate hacks won't allow it.

[LSK]

27. 2348902318590123 times or

F. At least once a day

[ClusterFreak]

28. There are some who say it every time Bush looks at them crosseyed...

....but I personally think he is NOT going to finish out his term.
Whether that means he's done tomorrow, next month, next year, or on the day before the next president is inaugurated....at some point, he will be brought down. But he WON'T be brought down without the help of the right. Just like Nixon.

[WI_DEM]

29. Sadly, many times and he keeps rising from the dead

like the vampire he is.

[Borgnine]

32. Bush isn't done... yet.

But we have to put things into perspective. This was the man who had a 90% approval rating once for sitting back while four planes were hijacked and thousands of Americans died. The mere fact that he's took on such a huge hit from the Katrina disaster is big in itself. His shields are weakening, and he keeps taking on damage from every direction.

The House of Bush hasn't fallen yet, but the foundation isn't what it used to be.

[myrna minx]

34. Hourly. And if I see "drip, drip, drip"

again, I think my teeth will shatter.

[Rhiannon12866]

36. That's what I keep saying to people who are saying this to me...

Each new abomination produces the same damn reaction. THIS is really the thing that's going to bring down Bush*! And, every time, he's let off the hook, free to strike again. My fingers are pretty cramped too, but we can only hope... And my pick is choice G in real life, H for DU.:shrug:

[jokerman93]

37. two points

1. The playing field has just shifted dramatically. The equation has changed. There can be no successful cover-up. Bush has made many powerful vociferous enemies this time, and the Neocons can't threaten, bribe, bullshit or smear all of them.

2. If we want to bring down the illegal Bush government, the American people (we) must now go into relentless attack mode politically.

They aren't going down by the law of gravity alone. Heard "Bush is done/toast" so many times it's depressing. But these people aren't invulnerable. They're weaker than they look. I say go for the arteries now and keep slashing (politically of course).

:-)

[NewJeffCT]

38. somewhere between F & G

I even got excited last October thinking Kerry would win the election because of it.

[TahitiNut]

40. Gee.

:eyes:

[King Coal]

41. You can't divide by zero.

[Window]

42. Enough times for something to have stuck.

.

[kansasblue]

43. "The tide is turning! " that's my (un)favorite

[1democracy]

44. We need to question their assumptions that got us here

the role of government is first of all to protect its citizens...I believe. Let's have a discussion about privatization, how it's worked, about no-bid contracts, about the difference between seeking the common good and selfishness. (Was FEMA mismanaged or just a bad idea- we must differentiate, they won't.)
THIS IS HOW WE CAN WIN!
Question their premises.The entire country has seen how their ideas work-- the rich get richer and the poor get dead. Can you imagine them revisiting health care? Oh my God...

[VelmaD]

45. I can't count that high...

Texas public school education after all. ;)

Let's just say LOTS.

[Generic Other]

46. Will you give me a nickel for everytime?

I could use the money. :)

[Lydia Leftcoast]

47. I've been here longer than you, Will

:P

and I've seen it at least once a day.

But I think this past week has brought him closer to "done" than any of the previous "coups de grace."

[yodermon]

48. Fitzgerald. n/t.

[TahitiNut]

49. OMG!! .... OMFG!!! .... MUST READ!!

Sorry. Just thought this thread needed this. :shrug:

[Zomby Woof]

51. EVIDENCE OF LIHOP/MIHOP!!!

OMG!!! W00t! TOAST!

[stevedeshazer]

50. He ain't goin' nowhere.

The beatings continue.

[incapsulated]

52. I've lost count, but here is some hope...

I never responded to those statements, because I didn't believe it for a second but I felt that it gave people hope.

But we need to think practically now, instead of dealing in pipe-dreams about an impeachment that will never happen.

2006 is our chance at payback. Bush's numbers were dreadful before Katrina, the sentiment toward the repukes will be even worse now. Our chance to take back seats lost is this election cycle, we need to get our talking points nailed around this issue to hammer home before people vote and to integrate into campaigns.

[Jon3]

53. Waaay too many times.

People seem to be a bit manic lately though.

[Cooley Hurd]

54. Let's dissuade others from voicing the same sentiment...

Fuck... :eyes:
