Sign Up - Call it was it is: The "BUSH REGIME" - spread the meme
It's no longer the "Bush Administration." With Congress actively enabling illegal practices by * and Co, NSA out of control, it's time to call it what it is: a REGIME.

Many people have other names for the BUSH REGIME, be it Crime Family, neoFascist, neoNazi, PNACker, etc. These terms have little or no resonance with the american population since they are not used by the media. But REGIME HAS been used quite a bit during these past 6 years. The public knows what it means, with all the negative context.

So I propose we call it what it is; the BUSH REGIME. Not the "Bush Administration". Put BUSH REGIME in your blog/Journal. When you call a Radio/TV show or in letters to the Editor. No explanation needed, just call it the BUSH REGIME. Use it on the phone with your congressperson, in casual political dialogs, on signs at protests and highways, in Petitions. Use it freely and often.

With the latest revelations regarding more illegal acts via the NSA by the BUSH REGIME and sickly poll numbers in all catagories, I really feel we are at a Tipping Point. If we frame the BUSH REGIME and use it constantly, the people may just remember the term "REGIME CHANGE" come this Nov election.

2. Yes, but the public will never "hear" the word dictatorship
In the daily routine, people notice gas prices and accidents during the commute, not how much more the constitution was whittled today. Know what I mean?

9. I had calls today from friends who are not into politics,sigh.
They have really come awake with this news and were asking questions, as they know I take a great interest in what is happening. I think we will be gathering steam. There is something about having one's privacy invaded that infuriates people. Me included. But I have to say that my daughters and I have known we were being listened to by something or someone, for the last few years.Odd noises on the line at times, and we got into the habit of greeting the "boys" out there when we heard the noises. We also are in the habit of discussing politics on the phone, and we all hate Bush and his vassals.Nothing will keep me from saying what I think.I have lived a long and fruitful life and refuse to bend over for this bunch of thugs. There are simply no words to describe what I would like to do to all of them.Also have to say that this has been creeping in for a long time, due to the apathy, ignorance and laziness of so many in this country. Helped along by the long dumbing down process in the corporate media. One example, American Idol.I agree with Olbermann all the way.

8. Bush Regime or Bush Junta
An administration is what it's called when it comes to power by a normal constitutional process.

10. Junta hasn't been used commonly by the media since the 80's
But they sure do use the word REGIME quite a bit. We need to leverage this common term today! Are you game? :)
