Bush Owns It: Let's Purge It
An illegal, immoral war; A fiscal, social and environmental train wreck; An illegal, invalid election: Bush owns it, Let’s purge it.

Events since 2 Nov 2004 have resulted in many more questions than answers regarding what Senator Kerry and Edwards should have done, should be doing; what the DNC and the Democrats in the 109th US Congress should have done, should be doing; what other political parties and even ‘true’ Republicans should do.

For instance, some ask:

Exactly why should Senator Kerry and the other members of the Senate and House of Representatives strive to ‘overturn’ the apparent outcome of the 2004 presidential election?

Why would Senator Kerry want to fight to ‘win’ something that was such a colossal loss for those who had no defense on 2 Nov 2004 – the systematically disenfranchised voter?

Would it not be better to be on record for how many acts of disenfranchisement were perpetrated by the Republicans on election day?

Would it not be better to drive a large and focused investigation into the illegal activities of the Bush cabal in every aspect of the 2004 national election once Bush is re-installed as president?

Would it not be better to install the Bush government and have it be the sole target for all the outrage that is building, both within the country and throughout the world, about Bush’s illegal war in Iraq?

Would it not be better to install the Bush government as to provide The Opposition with the opportunity to differentiate itself in every way, in the minds of the American public and all of humanity, from the illegal, immoral, hypocritical and delusional Bush cabal?

Isn’t it time to stop bickering among all the various groups who truly oppose the Bush cabal, and bring all our energy into creating a true opposition group, open to every citizen, committed to a relentless effort to investigate, charge, prosecute and purge the Bush cabal from the American franchise of democracy?

Bush’s cabal got their wish on 2 Nov 2004; they clearly did whatever it took to get their wish. Bush fully owns the first four failed, horrid years of his presidency and on 20 Jan 2005 he’ll be installed in the inescapable position of being totally responsible for the even more horrid acts of the final weeks of his first term and all that will likely be his legacy, thereafter.

Never has a more evil and failed US executive branch existed.

Let us add yet another outstanding chapter to our American legacy of patriotism. Let us be unrelenting in holding the Bush cabal accountable for their wretched acts against our Constitution, humanity and the environment.

The Opposition must transcend categories like “Democrat, Republican, Independent, Green, ….”; it needs to be inclusive of all who value our American democracy and realize it is being plundered by the Bush cabal.

As to the name of The Opposition, I suggest we keep it simple and we have it focused precisely on the problem. The problem is not “Republican party”; its not ‘liberal vs conservative’; its not ‘progressive vs traditional Democrat’; it is an opposition to illegal, immoral, unjust, racist, fiscally irresponsible, anti-environmental, socially regressive, undemocratic policies – “Its About Bush.”

Thus, “The Bush Opposition” is the only banner we need to mobilize millions of our fellow citizens.

I do have a question I think we should all ask Senator Kerry -- will you, Senator Kerry, lead “The Bush Oppostion”?

And, in asking it, I think it reasonable to request a response by 21 Jan 2005.

As much as The Bush Opposition will depend on every patriotic American citizen, it will need a leader. I think we should actively recruit a leader once we have Senator Kerry’s response. Obvious candidates (Boxer, Conyers, Michael Moore, Rev Jackson, Jon Bonifaz, Cliff Arnebeck.....) should be considered and perhaps the most effective approach is to extend a broad invitation to those any of us consider appropriate and, by their actions, their demonstration of charisma, passion and accomplishments it will be clear, quickly, who has the zeal and the national recognition to lead our effort to reestablish America as a democracy; a just and honorable Nation.

We The People of the United States of America….will in_deed prevail.

2. I like and admire your posts, understanding life,
Edited on Mon Jan-10-05 04:37 PM by KCabotDullesMarxIII
but, imo, I think you may be making it too *overtly* pointed. A low profile, evasion, dissimulation, etc., are crucial to the optimal use of special forces in conventional warfare, and I would think political confrontations too - except, perhaps, for mass demonstrations

Such overtly personal attacks are "par for the course" with the MSM, of course, but they are on the other side, and their targets are more likely to be ikons to the general public and the world at large, such as Bill Clinton. Basically, people know the score, who are the real enemy, and all Dem voters' efforts (including disillusioned Republicans) will already be working towards the same target.

3. Thank you and, if no one was dying; if it were only about 'overvotes'...
....if we weren't being faced with an AG who digs torture and will likely be even more ruthless than Ashcroft in attacks on the civil liberties of our fellow citizens; if...........(well, you know the list as well as I do).

I think we need massive resistance and we need it soon. Purely one person's opinion, I realize; and I could be wrong (in fact, I'd be deeply grateful if I am wrong).

6. Actually its more about
400 or 500 Corporatists who control this country. Bush is the puppet who is pulled by the strings of these puppeteers.

Take these corporatists out of the equation and amazing things will happen. Until they are gone, nothing will.

7. Correct. You know that and so do I, but....
....in order to focus millions of our fellow citizens its best to put the full intensity of the laser on the puppet and then show everyone who's holding the strings, imho.

Focused laser just got turned on:

And be sure to check the VR Watch threads.

Peace.

p.s. I thought your 1 clue about 16 was truly special ;-)

9. Let me know if you want to learn the game or fraud or whatever you want
to call it.

13. Thanks!
And, I'll speculate that the importance of 1 in each of one's choices is all one needs to understand; whether one goes first or next ;-)

Never heard of the game 'til you mentioned it, btw.

As to vaporlections, that's a much simpler game of fraud as more and more are now learning.

Peace.

15. The game builds from the very obvious fraud that is easy to see
to the complicated one that one can not see. So we begin by playing the game from nearly being finsihed and gradually progressing to where the game begins with sixteen objects.

Watch how, and keep in mind it is always your turn when we start ("I" represents an object and they are arranged in rows):

First and most obvious level.

I

Your turn and you lose. Next obvious level.

I
I
I

Your turn. See how I win this one? Next level a little harder.

II
II

If you take one from one row, I take both from the other row. If you take both from one row, I take one of the two and leave you with the last.

Next level.

III..
III..

All evens up to five. I match you until we get to 2-2, then I play a 2-2 game.

Next level and now getting more difficult to see as a fraud:

I
II
III

If you take the one, then I take one of the three and make it 2-2.
If you take the two, I take all of the row of three.
If you take the row of three, I take the row of two.
If you take one from row two or one from row three; I make it 1-1-1.

Next level and getting very difficult to see:

I
IIII
IIIII

From here I am trying to make this into one of the winning combinations above. No matter what you do, I can make it into one of those.

Next level:

I
II...
II...
I

Two pair and you can always make this into any of the above winners:

Next level:

II
IIII
IIIIII

You can make this into one of the above winners:

Then you get to the final configuration:

I
III
IIIII
IIIIIII

This is also a winner and you can make it into any of the above combinations. If someone takes one, I take one from another row. If they take more than one, I make one of the above combinations.

The game is simply a game of pre-arranged combinations. I know the combinations; my opponent does not. I always win. But if you know all the combinations as well as I, whoever goes first loses.

Now have fun with your friends and enemies for life! Be the true genius I know you are.

5. understandinglife should be the leader for now.
but if this group DOES get a leader who is an official Democrat, General Wesley Clark or Howard Dean would be a good choice.

11. Gore--perfect!
He's got a lot of fire in his guts for Bush--with good reason. If anyone saw those speeches before the election, you'll know what I mean. John Kerry will have his hands full in the Senate working for election reform and other things--fulfilling campaign promises to the best of his ability as a Senator.

8. I like it. It's nonpartisan, and exactly the sort of thing
the Bushies HATE, yet have no good defense for! They jump right out of their fake human skins and show their true lizard alien selves when anyone does that to them! It's great!

Let's get it out in the open. We're not Bush "Haters," we oppose his politics and policies and want him out, no matter what party we belong to! We can deal with the rest of the platform later.

What's most important is to get rid of the criminals who took us over illegally!

A person like myself (disffected Dem in shock) could join up enthusiastically, while waiting for the official party to decide who it is.

10. The "Bush Opposition" IS the Key: He's so bad and so evil,...
it doesn't really matter that much who we put in his place.

Starting with an honest dogcatcher with a little integrity...

12. The idea is great
Is exactly the way the opposition works.

Let's say Clark, Gore and Dean (add more names if you will), form some type of entity that could connect people outraged by the regime's actions.

First question:

How do you think you can convince those leaders to do it?

14. By bringing the issue into focus and sharing it with a large...
Edited on Mon Jan-10-05 09:13 PM by understandinglife
....number of citizens and that got started a bit earlier today.

It always takes one to start something. Once started, it can grow rapidly, especially when so many are already disgusted about so much of what Bush has done.

He owns it all; let's just get everyone focused on that.

I think several will charge to the front of "The Bush Opposition".

We just need to let them know the movement has begun.

Spread the word.

Peace.
