I'm sorry (none / 0)

But has Bush ever NOT gotten away with something yet? Harriet Miers and um...yeah. Bush just declared that he'll ignore this just like he's declared that he's going to continue ignoring everything else. As someone who professes not to care about partisan politics but rather ending torture, should you perhaps get over the bickering about whether or not the nation should collectively suck McCain off or not and start paying attention to the fact that the President has just said that he's going to continue torturing people if he damn well feels like it?

Or perhaps you don't want your righteous indignation to be taken seriously.

Re: I'm sorry (none / 0)

Since we're discussing Executive Authority not Legislative Authority, Social Security doesn't apply. Katrina is more incompetence than ignoring the law and I'm not entirely convinced that it'll end up a lasting issue outside of Louisiana where more and more people are blaming Blanco. Most Americans don't think that Bush was directly involved in the Plame leak, they lay that at door of Rove and Cheney.

So then there's torture. Which is apparently your pet issue, consequences be damned, except that you don't seem concerned about the President declaring that he'll continue to torture people. So what is it that you are concerned about again?

Bush dropped to 34% approval rating, the lowest approval for any American president since Richard Nixon at the time of his impeachment.

The issues listed above are counted as defeating an agenda - however, to add to the list - please note that Bush had to leave the country and wander around while all of his friends lived down their radioactive half life for three weeks,  and he tried to get out of a press conference and pulled on locked doors like an arse.

"Most Americans Don't think that Bush was directly involved."

Guess the 34% approval rating was just because they were mad at Bush for invading an innocent country.

Friend, Executive Authority is exercised in the halls of power. Bush has become as radioactive as Tom Delay.

And you know the best part of your ridiculous counter to my post here? You say this is about executive authority, then you are saying that Katrina was about incompetence and not the law -

Katrina is not about legislative issues. Katrina was Bush in grand style, Arabian horse farmers standing there wringing there hands and wondering what to do, to lead the federal government. Dead soulless stares aka  "my pet goat" - while Bush was dining with business peeps in San Diego the people were dying.

Once they start, they never stop. Torture is part of their policy. Dick Cheney caved on this item and the senate passed the bill and now the President is saying he won't go along.

Well, someone should tell McCain this instead of us just beefing about it + see what John says.

did you forget about social security reform?  The Patriot act non-renewal?
