OK...Whats with the "resignation" threads?

[RONSTOO]

Is everybody fooling themselves?


Come on. There's no fucking way he would ever resign.



At least I respected Nixon in the sense that he saw the the writing on the wall.


Daddy hasnt given him permission to resign....yet.

[MnFats]

1. Just because he won't doesn't mean we shouldn't insist he do it.

the point must be made: Bush is clearly, clearly absolutely unfit to lead.

[RONSTOO]

3. i absolutely concur...

I didnt mean that people think he would actually resign.


What I should say say is dont be fooled by Bush's 2 second long act of fake contrition. Hell probably repeat in speech but only because the Rove told him to do it. ( He would never dream of saying that by his own free will ).

[MnFats]

8. i understand and hope i wasn't too snotty...

...my fantasy is to go to d.c. and scream it over the white house fence until he at least hears me...

[OKDem08]

4. Continuation of the * agenda will annihilate all

credibility of the republican party. I love my country and desperately wanted to see change at the last election; however, resignation &/or impeachment would solve nothing. Bush is only a puppet anyway.

[applegrove]

2. Personally - I think some of them are about building up hopes in order

to knock them down. But I cannot be sure.

[ReadTomPaine]

5. Interesting. n/t

[applegrove]

6. Maybe I am just so warped that i cannot see the hope some DUers

have.

[ReadTomPaine]

9. Skepticism is a gift, not a flaw.

Hope is fine, but cynicism is well warranted. Your take is well worth considering.

[applegrove]

11. I hate to say it but i think the "reality based community" would be

better off if chimp stays at the helm. Not as if Cheney would do things any different. We all know they fill Bush's head with whatever they want him to decide and he certainly doesn't get information from outside the bubble to compare and contrast with.

But at least Bush is now making their real plans obvious. And he is unlikeable. Because he is an ***.

[blondeatlast]

19. You aren't alone in that assessment. nt

[tuvor]

7. Depends on what his puppeteers want, doesn't it?

What's a Mortimer Snerd without his Edgar Bergen?

[RONSTOO]

10. The end of the Bush era...

just like the columnist who phrased it....


should read like this.


The end of tyranny begins with you and me. And you. And you. And you.


Until its shouted from the rooftops and nobody is afraid to speak.


When fear leaves a country its citizenry excel and revel and lift everyone like a rising tide.


Like a rock our Constitution stands and the vision will prevail....


for it stands as the Rock of Ages.


As our wise Forefathers intended.



It was the overthrow of tyranny that gave birth to this great Nation.

Never forget that.

Goodbye


In 1996 I left the Democratic Party, in 2000 I voted for Nader, in 2002 I moved to Canada, in 2004 I voted, against my better judgment, for Kerry to try to help out people here. I joined the activist corps and tried to do what I could to help (I have done what I could on specific issues since I arrived). But, strangely when I posted requests for help on things pertaining to Canada there was little or no response from anyone but Canadians.

The reality is that Americans (and I'll generalize because while it's not universal it's pretty close) are navel gazers, even Democrats don't seem to care much about anyone outside the U.S. (Unless it's US soldiers abroad). You claim to, but when push comes to shove it's just not there. If you are a true progressive, my best advice is GET OUT, the Republicans are driving the country toward the edge of a cliff and all the Democrats are offering is to slow down a bit.

Now I'm done, this thread was the final straw

http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.ph...

it has convinced me that the Democrats offer no more hope than the Republicans and that there is no hope for the US, and no point in trying to help.

Goodbye.

It was just locked and even that post was funny. The Lounge really did a beautiful send off. Hunter Thompson would be proud.

But you probably mean this one:

EndGame

It's all whatever, we can disagree and still be friends because we both root for a team that is going to have another lousy f'ing year...and piss us off...and lead us into atypical depression (the really angry kind)...all because they won't hire felons any more and they...ah, fuck it! I'm too pissed to go on.

But, he will be "resigned", so in that sense, you're right. He won't go willingly.

[RONSTOO]

13. the cracks in the facade are appearing

so never give up....

[autorank]

14. Thanks, I'm back on the bus!

[RONSTOO]

15. hey speaking of resignation

what do you think of this guys comments on AmericaBlog...found it interesting:


quote:


"heres another spin on the subject. soon bush will resign. before you get a tizzied. first point is bush is a lame duck and a extremely lame one at that. so he will never be able to get any republican aganda passed. hes not human so he really dosnt give a shit what others think. but hes gone in 3 years no matter what. and the more the right keep him close, hes cancer to them. so the longer they keep him the worst it is for them.

so now by resigning they take care of everything. they will look like the strong leaders, here to solve our problems, and by him leaving all the anti groups lose thier demon, so they have no one to rally against. so any bad stuff we try to throw at them, they just look like leaders and we look like a bunch of bitching kids. so by them taking the high ground and having bush resign, they will become stronger and keep control over the US

just a thought"

20. I don't think the PNAC shrubbery gives a damn about the R Party

in general, I really don't.

They've managed to get the weakest electeds from their party so scared of losing that they just blindly follow Shrub regardless of how pathetic he is--and the shrubbery knows they will.

If you are a Repub and aren't playing the game as the rules are written by PNAC and the Heritage Foundation they haven't any use for you whatssoever.

George's lame-duck status doesn't matter--it isn't the person (W) that is important, only the agenda. There are plenty of agenda puppets out there. W was just a stellar example of one--a complete blank slate politically.

[OneTwentyoNine]

16. And they usually bump a Impeachment thread......

Get real people,Bush WON'T be resigning,Bush WON'T be impeached--needing 2/3rds majority to do so. But...its thrilling to see another 50 posts per week wondering when his impeachment hearings start.

Hell,he's doing more damage to Republicans as each week rolls by,leave him in. Oil Dick would make a lousy replacement.....

[sendero]

17. Exactly..

... bush isn't going anywhere. Sometimes, I think half our party is living in some kind of dream world. They simply, after 5 effing years, do not get it.

But I do agree that the Republican party is in the process of imploding. Americans are about to learn, in a very painful way, to be careful what you ask for, you just might get it.

[OneGrassRoot]

18. Has anyone seen those words anywhere else.........

impeachment, resignation....in MSM? I highly doubt it, but wanted to ask. I see Rove admitting he's gay before * resigning....not gonna happen. Things have got to get a whole lot worse before MSM even entertains the idea....unless I've missed something.

[lateo]

21. It is the worst of delusions.

Bubble Boy will never resign.

[Romulus]

22. "He Should Do the Honorable Thing and Resign"

That was the Freeper mantra during the Clinton years.

Now that Bush is "taking responsibility," he needs to actually take responsibility for the greatest disaster on US soil ever and relieve himself of his duties,

instead of relieving himself ON the American people . . .
