Warrantless searches, phone trolling, torture, kidnapping, indefinite imprisonment without charges, denial of legal representation, you name it. It's all legal. Just ask Attorney General Alberto Gonzales. If the president says it's legal, it's legal. When we're at war, the Constitution, the Congress and civility are out the door.
Bush always plays the fear card, telling us he's "protecting" us from al-Qaeda as he takes us on our national plunge into fascism. He seizes power with impunity, and the Republicans in Congress are willing accomplices as they abrogate the fundamental responsibilities of their branch of the federal government to a power-crazed madman.
As America sleeps, basic rights, especially privacy, are under assault. The concentration of claimed authority in the Executive Branch -- removed from congressional authorization and outside the scope of judicial review -- is dangerous and frightening.
The Busheviks are not conservatives -- they are neo-fascists with an agenda aimed at protecting a privileged elite and using the unbridled power of an authoritarian government to enhance and protect their wealth.
They're not wearing black shirts, boot-stomping down Pennsylvania Avenue in the style of the more theatrical of their ilk. But their insidious threat is real and chilling.

Well, first off, nothing is done unintentionally or by accident. Not at that level. He took an enormous budget surplus, and made it a bigger deficit, he has caused millions of American jobs to go overseas, crashed the social security system, totally dropped the ball after 9/11, in case you havent noticed bin Laden is still alive and well, started a shooting war based on greed and lies, initiated the Patriot Act, which, if fully implemented, would have basicly the same power and effect of the Soviet KGB, and has made the United States the single most hated country on earth. Which has done the most harm to the average citizen? Well, how about paying over $3.00 a gallon for gas, after invading one of the biggest oil producing countries in the world, or being able to legally spy on anyone. The worst thing he's done is that he's shattered the confidence the people have in their government, their military, and their future. Impeach him.

you know alot of people are going to harp on Iraq.but some of the things he has done is just things that previous adminstration has done. wire tapping has been many years. the US government owns land in Canada and Mexico with the ability to tape every wireless phone when key words are spoken. think his biggest mistake is to stay hidden in the white house. think this has the media even rougher on him. truthful how often have you heard any thing good about this adminstration on tv? was watching cnn when Mr. Cafferty was going to report that the jobless numbers was falling and stock market was raising and how that was bad for Americia.

I'm a Bush supporter, but that Terry Schiavo mess really pissed me off. He should have stayed out of it in the first place. As Jeb should have stayed out of it, too. It just reminded me, I need to get my living will in writing so that never happens to me.

the first one was being elected. lying to this country. only caring about rich people and not giving a damn about the working people and the poor.

when bush talks of terrorisom he focusses only on laden there are so many people to focuss his attention, to wipe away terrorism, he is self centered. he is also focussing himself on oil rich countries so that he can have his lions share

The biggest one has been not sending imbecilic liberals to Guantanamo.
