My aunt keeps sending me anti-Bush books. I'm tired of him already.
Auntie Daisy is 82 years old and lives in upstate New York. Boy does she hate GWB. Her husband is a conservative former economics professor at NYU who also hates GWB. She is an awesome lady. She loves reading books that tear ol' George apart and we talk about politics on the phone quite a bit. At this point I feel like Bush bashing is almost a non-issue. He's so politically irrelevant that I feel like I have better things to worry about right now.

1. Recycle those books
to the library, to a thrift shop, or abandon them in a laundromat where people are bored enough to read anything.

It could be worse. She could be sending you the ravings of such luminaries as Coulter and Gibson.

2. It's weird but I was just thinking the same thing today.
It's like we are finally closing the chapter on a very horrible interlude.

11. NO! NO! NO! NO! This chapter will not be closed until they all pay for the murder


of the United States of America. The killing of the constitution, followed by feeding it to a wood chipper so it couldn't be rebuilt absolutely DEMANDS justice.

What they did to the economy - sending the great bulk of dollars to the very rich, and leaving the rest of us to beg for our suppers, well if you are not pissed mightily about that you ARE the problem.

Bushco and friends will try to tell us that anything they did under cover of their office is protected from prosecution. Well, that's true but only up to a point. Prosecution for illegal acts under cover of their office is not only possible, it's necessary. The purpose of prosecution is not just to punish the actor, more importantly it's purpose is also to act as a deterrent to others who may thing of doing the same.

I believe it to be imperative to the future of the US that those criminals from the White House to the Justice dept. to Number 1 Observatory Circle be rounded up, indicted and tried for their crimes. This stain on history must be removed by the bleach of a public trial, followed if necessary by publix executions for treason and other crimes. Are war crimes a capital offense? I don't know, but I'd settle for a life term with live 24/7 internet video of their cells.

I for one, and only for myself vow to keep speaking up about this and demanding that the people of the United States of America see justice done in their name.

Who will pledge to join me. For the future of out nation.

4. Good idea. Also...
Surely there are on-the-fence folks who the OP knows, who could benefit from an anti-Bush screed, no?

Even the republicans I know are anti-bush at this point. I like in San Francisco, so GOP hating is an easy target.

5. I know the feeling...
...I don't get a lot of pleasure reading time, so I have a bunch of books to read yet. At this rate, he'll be out of office before I get to half of them.

7. As long as he is enjoying his blood millions and not being
brought to justice, he is still relevant. Believe me.

10. lol! We have threads upon threads about people being sent wrongwing propaganda from
friends, relatives, complaining. This is a first for me here!

The fact is the Shrub is still an issue. The longer he stays in office the longer the Constitution and rule of law in our country is being desecrated. After he leaves office, and if he is allowed to go free and not account for all of his crimes, it will continue to send the signal, that crime pays.

End of spiel.
