GREENS SEE INDICATIONS THAT A 2nd BUSH ADMINISTRATION WOULD IMPERIL U.S. DEMOCRACY AND SECURITY

WASHINGTON, D.C. -- Greens warned that the second George W. Bush Administration, emboldened by his apparent 2004 victory, is pursuing agenda that threaten to destroy the integrity of U.S. democracy and place Americans at risk.

"Like many Americans and most of the rest of the world, Greens see the second Bush Administration as a lawless menace," said Jake Schneider, treasurer of the Green Party of the United States. "We're urging Americans to remain vigilant, not tolerate Bush extremism, and be ready to stand up for our rights, freedoms, democracy, and the rule of law. With a slim majority, Mr. Bush can claim no national mandate."

Greens listed several post-election indications of how President Bush may spend his "political capital":

The nomination of Condoleezza Rice as Secretary of State, replacing Colin Powell, signals a complete takeover of the Bush foreign policy by ideologues with little regard for internal dissent or responsibility to the American people. Greens noted that Ms. Rice, as National Security Advisor during the first Bush term, misrepresented intelligence about the threat of Iraqi WMDs and dismissed clear warnings in mid 2001 about impending terrorism.

felt the same way about the Democrats.

We are in a Republican cycle and we will survive.

And much more could have been made of this by the Kerry campaign, libertarians, and the media.

Read John Dean's book. The secrecy, dishonesty, and power grabbing is not done just for sport.

bush is terrible
