So the man actually admits that power (getting their votes through the House) is more important than ethics and the law. And still people defend him. Disgraceful.
This one. Any country that allows the authorities to come in and search someone's private residence without their knowledge, read their personal correspondences, and hold people without charges is a police state. Thanks to Bush and his neocon cronies, that's the reality of the sitaution.
If Dubya has indeed changed, our country will be better off for it. I am encouraged - at least a little. However, Katrina is looking more like a bunch of hollow promises.
It is nice to know that Bush said he's responsible, and it makes for nice press, but I don't see what is the big deal with taking responsibility. When it comes to politicians, all it means is that they determined that it is politically expedient to do so. And really, saying you're the one responsible doesn't change things at all. We all know the president makes certain decisions. President Truman may have said 'The Buck Stops Here', and that is great as a slogan, but it really doesn't change one bit what happened in Hiroshima and Nagasaki, or what happened in the Korean Peninsula. Those where very tough decisions that have to be discussed on their merits, not on whether or not the president actually officially assumed responsibility publicly for them. And the same is true of President Bush's decisions in regards to Afghanistan and Iraq.
Right, I am shivering with fear that government agents will come and take me away. Seriously, I have lived under what could be called a 'police state' for a time, and to call the US right now a police state is ridiculous. You need to get a sense of proportion and of reality.
It seems like he's denying that it was the first time he said it, not that he didn't say it. You said he'd deny he even said it. But just because I'm sick of those weasels I'll give you rep anyway.
