What I habve tried to convey in this blog is that very little constrains George Bush Junior's exercise of power.
The congress does not, the senior leadership of that once august body is composed of vile nigh reptilian sycophants and Presidential flatterers.
The Supreme Court gave Bush the power he now enjoys and shows no desire to rein in the President.
The Washington News Establishment is dominated by useless timer servers, lunatics, and outright conservative apologists.
What is to be done?
Clearly if you find the President's misuse of power disturbing or frightening, then the ONLY thing you can do vote for John Kerry on November second.
Nothing else will end GWB's flagrant Neronian reign save total defeat at the polls.
Nothing...the man is not animated by much in the way of reverence for democracy or a "decent respect for the opinion of mankind".
No...not with the Good Lord telling him how to fuck you on a deal...(to quote the late William Seward Burroughs).
if Bush wins next month, be it a landslide or a squeaker, he will inevitably govern in an even more autocratic-ideological fashion.
Hell George Bush thinks he doesn't NEED votes to win this election.
Raised as he was within the counter cultural traditional of the new right and fired by both a hatred of phantom elites and a profound sense of grievance Bush can do no other.
There is nothing more disgusting than a rich spoiled brat of a man who somehow has a chip on his shoulder for all his endless privileges and entitlement.
Self confidence of a rank nature like that also goes by the ominous but pithy Greek term "hubris".
Now over-reaching ambition MAY be Bush's downfall in his still notional second term, but who here in America wants go off that cliff with him?
really the only thing to do is vote for Kerry and in sufficient numbers to ensure Bush's exit from Washington in the back of a turnip truck.
