I hate the president
In an attempt to escape responsibility for the misleading statements that led the nation to war, President Bush has announced plans to form an independent inquiry to look into what went wrong. An inquiry would serve the Bush administration well: it would envelop the issue in a fog of uncertainty, deflect blame onto the intelligence services, and push any political damage into 2005, after the upcoming election.

But the facts need no clarification. Despite repeated warnings from the CIA and Defense Intelligence Agency, President Bush and his administration hyped and distorted the threat that Iraq posed. And now that reality is setting in, the President seeks to pin the blame on someone else. We can't let him.

Congress has the power to censure the President -- to formally reprimand him for his betrayal of the nation's trust. If ever there was a time to use this function, it is now. Join the call for Congress to censure President Bush now.

i think i'm going to start a page on this site compiling links relating to the criminal we call a president.

seriously, if you vote for george bush in this upcoming election i have absolutely no respect for you. it baffles me why anyone would vote to have their civil rights stolen from them (the patriot act), to rape the environment (oil drilling in the national wildlife refuge, the clear skies act, withdrawing from the kyoto protocol), to alienate our allies (iraq, withdrawing from the ABM treaty), to hand over publicly regulated services to for-profit corporations (deregulation) ... the list goes on and on. I'm not going to say that John Kerry, or John Edwards or Howard Dean are the answer, but ANY of them are a better choice than Bush.
