What would it take to force BushCo to actually listen to the US public?
Massive protests in Washington DC? Poll numbers below 10%? Total sweeps in 2006 that leave not a single 'puke left in Congress? Nothing at all?

What's your take on Bush giving us the finger?

3. Short of sending Congress to Guantanamo for a little interigation before..
...the vote, that's NEVER going to happen. Those boys are seriously addicted to their dirty money.

Sending a few to jail will help, though. I hope Abramoff spills his guts before he takes up residence, and clears the way for a few neighbors in prison.

4. Or just putting them (and their competitors) out of business.

5. Nothing short of riots in the streets and a total work walk-out.

6. There's a thought.
Since BushCo worships the big corporations (and they claim to be Christian - how very pagan of them), perhaps we could stage wild-cat strikes to get their attention.

Bush would be under enormous pressure to comply with our wishes if people just started walking off the job for a day in random places. After all, they can't outsource the entire workforce of America (although they are trying).

7. None of the above.
The man is seriously aged the past few months. The whole thing may be getting to him. The situation is close to meltdown in Iraq. Fitzgerald may be indicting the whole mess some time soon. We need to keep up the pressure. I think the whole thing is going to blow.

8. being on trial in the Hague, maybe not even then
These guys don't care about the public period. They'd kill us all in a heartbeat if they weren't plotting to enslave us for a bit more on the bottom line.

In fact, I wouldn't put it past these guys to literally hold us all hostage by threatening to nuke us if we didn't e.g. go back to work.

9. We're past that, as far as I'm concerned.
The crimes of this regime are beyond redemption. There has not been the slightest pause in their pillaging since Day #1. There is nothing they could say or do (or most certainly would do) at this point that would convince me that they shouldn't be tried and convicted of war crimes, and imprisoned for 20 years to life, depending on the role each played.

10. Nothing.
We need to reclaim the Senate at the very least in 06 so we can forcibly remove the entire lot. Then we should jail them, then send them to be charged as war criminals. Once convicted we wont have to deal with them again. Nowhere in the process do I expect any of the bush cronies to listen to the public, admit wrongdoing or incompetence, or give up that smirking French royalty attitude.
