Don't give the dry drunk enough rope to hang us all

here's the headline...



i want neither want a president who sees in "absolutes" nor do i want to give this blinkered criminal a "definitive answer..." he sits in his chair by the slimmest of margins, granted to him twice in highly suspect fashion, he has chosen to interpret both as overwhelming mandates, and he has used his time in office to refashion the united states into a near-totalitarian state... i want him gone, and, if not gone, at least sufficiently hobbled that he and his outlaw compadres can't do any more damage...
He does not publicly stew as other presidents have. He powers through event after event as if he were still the leader the country rallied behind after Sept. 11, 2001.

To his critics, it sometimes seems as if Bush lives in his own world, oblivious or unwilling to accept the shifting reality around him. His is a world of absolutes. "I view this as a struggle of good versus evil," he said the other day about the war with terrorists. To Bush, that is strength, not weakness -- the certitude of conviction, the power of principle. He's "the decider" in a business afflicted by equivocation and thumb-sucking.

learning, growing, changing, reaching for love and light - this is the stuff of the human soul... to all appearances, bush does none of these... in the manner of every practicing addict, the dry drunk refuses to incorporate any new information into his worldview, because doing so will very likely shatter the foundations on which his universe of denial rests... this is george w. bush... let's hope and pray that the following is indeed true, and that voter supression and election-rigging don't carry the day (as they have in the past) to allow this sad, sick man to continue to hold tight to his delusions...
Now the voters are the deciders, and it's a verdict Bush can no longer influence.

we can't afford to give this man any more rope... he will hang not only himself but us along with him...
