"Die when I may, I want it said of me by those who know me best, that I have always plucked a thistle and planted a flower where I thought a flower would grow." -- Abraham Lincoln

Listening to President Obama yesterday, he is beginning to realize that for this Republican Party, there will be no growth, no working for the people of this country, and the last election didn't knock them into the real world at all. If it weren't so criminal, these last eight years of invading two countries and killing a city in the US, giving American citizens the highest debt ever in US history, and responsible for the deaths and destruction of "millions" of lives, their explanation that they are too "conservative" to pass a stimulus bill that will only begin to help to solve the problems this Republican Party has brought down upon this nation since the beginning of Reaganomics ...  it's almost comedic for Republicans in Congress to call themselves conservative, if it weren't so unpatriotic, un-American, and just plain stupid to think that we Americans will fall for such propaganda, when all they are really thinking about is continuing the power and the greed that came along with their solidarity under a Bush Republican regime.

Where this country and we Americans are today is due partly because of the "let bygones be bygones, turn the other cheek, go-along to get-along" thinking, led by the Democratic leadership in Congress. Every President who really was dedicated to this country has had to fight what is a misnomer: "Conservatism." The Republican Party is responsible for everything that is wrong with this country today because they are not conservative when it comes to using and misusing their power to yield wealth and comfort for themselves, and to hell with what their jobs are, which is working for the American people. How can anyone refuse to face the facts that this country has the highest debt ever in US history, and say that they are "conservative?"

After eight years of debt, death, and the destruction of millions of lives, talking to the Bush treasonous GOP is about the last thing I give a damn about. These Republicans can't do government, (thirty years have proved that over and over) and they will never do what's best for this country. All one has to do is just take a glance at the past eight years of thieving and slaughter.

Accountability is what these supporters of treason need, not dinner at eight, or accommodations, or thank you notes, love letters, nice conversations, or anything else. They had "eight" years to do what was right. They were killing, thieving, robbing the poor, fraud, anything that was deemed illegal by the rest of the country, crimes ordinary Americans go to jail for and the same things they were doing under the guise of working for the US government.

Pain and Pleasure: The Puritan hated bear-baiting, not because it gave pain to the bear, but because it gave pleasure to the spectators. -- Thomas Babington Macaulay, History of England, 1859.

BuzzFlash,

If the Bush GOP in Congress, what's left of them, really wanted to change the economy of this country, and cared, instead of lining their own pockets and the deep pockets of their donors, including MSM, they would have made the big money of this country pay their own way years ago, right after we found out during Reconomics that those who get giant tax cuts, invest in themselves, and they never, ever create jobs.  

The bottom line here is that the Bush Republicans in Congress know better, but they want to be able to say that Obama failed, and happy to help him, because Obama will fail if he listens to those same people who brought this country down on its knees by doing whatever the hell they wanted to do, and running the government of the US was not one of them. Greed is what has been running this country, and from all accounts that we hear on TV, it's still there.

BuzzFlash,

Regardless of what language we use to say good-bye to the Bush/Cheney/Rove GOP regime, we must hope to see them again ... in court. Seen and being heard in the court of public opinion, which is what the Republican Party has had for the last thirty odd years, is not enough, and the reason we know it's not enough is because these past eight years of this treasonous Bush administration might have been prevented.

During Bush's eight years, we Americans had to learn his lingo. There were the nicknames that Bush had for many people. We learned early on about the word, "Trust." After Bush failed to warn the American people before 9/11, because he and his administration had warnings and took them seriously enough to warn other people not to fly, such as Ashcroft .. . the word "terrorism" became a fear campaign of bullying, intimidation, and the stalking, not of those people around the world who would do us harm, but of American citizens who were activists. Bush and his cohorts made a list of American citizens. That stupid list, one of many stupid ideas that came to pass in order to sneak and peek on people, and it grew into thousands.

What's in a name? To Bush and his loyalists, a name could get a person kidnapped off an American street, put into prison, sent to another country to be tortured. Your name could get you on a list given to the airlines, so you could be detained and harassed for no reason other than your name. People were bought and paid for in Pakistan, by just the word of another person, and put into prisons, so Bush/Cheney/Rove could brag about how they were fighting terrorism.
