right--bush was elected and he has the support of congress to push his/the republican agenda. my point is, vilifying bush so extremely carries with it the wrong focus, the implication that getting rid of him solves the problem. it doesn't--we have a republican congress, they put him in there because they wanted him to push their agenda. we have to focus/work to get more democrats into congress in 2006--it's critical, hard, expensive work, but necessary if things are going to change direction.
also, hitler believed "jews aren't human" and killed 6 million of them. do you really believe bush is capable of that kind of madness? or the republican party? what do you want to do about it?
Bush is the lynchpin. Attacking him destablizes the whole system. He has the ability to pardon criminals and appoint more cronies and make the problem worse overall. He is like the running faucet that we have to turn off before we can mop up the rest of the mess. It's not just Congress! There are many, many "insiders" who are not elected officials who are solely appointed by the president.
Also I am certain there are a lot of people who support the administration who believe that homosexuals and muslims aren't human. Denying civil rights is the first step along the path to denying humanity.
