Please don't think that Bush will EVER suffer for his actions or inactions

[Q]

How many times now? How many times have we heard or thought that THIS will be the end of George's reign of terror? That the American people will no longer put up with a 'president' that treats them like shit?

When will DUers finally begin to understand that Bush is 'untouchable'? You're going to be disappointed if you continue to compare him with any other president that is subject to the consequences of his actions or the laws of gravity.

Once again: Bush is nothing but a product of the media (formerly known as the free press) and madison avenue. He's an actor playing a role. A programmed automaton. A puppet on a string. He's an empty vessel that is filled up each day with enough information to pass for a human being. For all intents and purposes...he is a King that rules by divine right.

As Americans and the rest of the world shared the sadness and then amazement over the last several days of watching thousands of people suffer and die as little or no help came their way...George was without a care in the world. He partied. Strummed. Joked. Ate cake. And then he spent probably all of an hour learning the lies and rhetoric that would make him appear 'presidential' again.

And please don't be fooled if the American Corporate Media looked human and humane for a few days. The emotion of the 'reporters' and 'journalists' as they talked about watching rats eating bodies probably meant a rise in ratings so the editors and producers let it go on for a while.

But now be PREPARED as they go into defensive mode and prop up the Boy King again. Always remember that their JOB NUMBER ONE is NOT to inform or tell the truth...it's to keep the Corporate State of Perpetual War going and its figurehead looking infallible.

George is here to stay. He will make no personal sacrifices beyond grabbing another bullhorn and stand on the bodies of another group of people hit by disaster. He will walk away with better poll numbers and the media will talk about his 'resolve', 'straight talk' and being able to 'connect' with the American people.

There will always be someone or something to protect him and keep him from being held accountable or responsible...including his Rubber Stamp Congress and collaborators in the Democratic party.

He's the perfect CEO president for the New Corporate/Military State.

1. You're sights are set too high.

What we need to look at are the coming LOCAL elections.

Then, next year, CONGRESS.

Oh, and Cheney has to go first. How's he feeling? Anyone see him?

5. What makes you think...

...that America will be standing long enough for the type of gradual process you're talking about to take place?

Think about it. Free and fair elections are a thing of the past and the only available loyal opposition is doing nothing about it.

Bush took us to war based on nothing more than lies and deceptions. No one with any kind of power is opposing him on it.

You're still thinking in terms of normal politics and business as usual.

Everything has changed. Everything.

2. I wonder how many DUers are really up for hearing that

Einstein famously remarked that we can never get out of a bad situation by using the same ideas that got us into it. Do you see many DUers looking for or ready to really commit to new ideas?

What I mostly see is people trying to make the same system work that has consistently failed to work for decades. Shoving against a door marked 'pull', as it were. What are you seeing?

3. Q Can I use this quote

"He's the perfect CEO president for the New Corporate/Military State."

it sums it all up IMO.

4. I whole heartedly agree.....

He won't go down in flames....

Not as long as Bill clinton and Mary Lanerau keep giving this guy political cover....

6. Bush has already gotten away with crimes that should have...

...caused both parties to call in unison for impeachment. But for some reason he's being protected BY both parties as he rapes and plunders with impunity.

When will it end? It will never end until the American people work together to put an end to it by making both parties accountable. No more excusing politicians simply because they SAY they're on our side.
