I just caught "When The Levees Broke" on HBO last night, and all it did was piss me off for four hours. It's a testament to how apathetic and superficial the average American voter is, that we elected this worthless fucking retarded douche to high office because we liked his cowboy hat and "folksy charm". Excuse me, Red-Staters...? How 'bout next time we go for another Rhodes Scholar who's a liar and moral degenerate? They seem to be better at not letting Americans die.

Exactly- Bush is far from perfect but not all the ills in the world are his fault.

If it is a republican or a middle of the road Dem it will be him ( or her). The rest of the world and to some extent this country needs a villain.
If it is another do nothing but look at the polls Pres ( with regard to world affairs) , then I don't know who the new villain will be.

It'll be a red-stater. The regular folks don't like getting hosed by the lefties. Dean will run the Dems into the ground.
PS: They should bulldoze New Orleans instead of giving away billions to idiots who live below sea level in a hurricane zone.

I'm not sure who "regular folks" are, but if it's meant to indicate the majority of Americans, then from everything I've observed, "regular folks" are pretty fucking stupid.
Dean won't run the Dems into the ground, he'll only run himself into the ground by continuing to espouse oldschool liberal ideas in a party which has become virtually indistinguishable from the Republicans. In fact, I don't see the significance of fierce party loyalty, when the parties repeat the same "tough on crime, strong natl defence, no child left behind" bullshit.
I might have little to no respect for our sitting comander-in-chief, but I don't hate him and I don't blame him for all our problems. I blame the electorate. An electorate that doesn't know that leadership isn't someone telling you what you want to hear; it's someone telling you what you need to hear. An electorate ready, willing, and eager to surrender every shred of personal freedom in exchange for security and being excused from civic responsibility. And an electorate that's happy to live in blissful ignorance of our part in world affairs, as long as they can continue to enjoy the highest standard of living in the world at the expense of 2/3 of the world's population.
Just keep telling us what we want to hear. "They hate us 'cuz we're free!"..."It's your money. You should keep it!"...and if we're all just willing to sacrifice a little freedom, we can win the war on freedom-hating terrorists. What a fuckin' leader we've chosen. We deserve everything we get.

Try looking at the Census report on the economy that was released yesterday to see how the "regular folks" are doing under republican "leadership"
"Regular folks" are doing just fine, if by "regular folks" you mean those that try hard, get at least their high school diploma, and don't have fantasies of making more money than they're actually worth.
If by "regular folks" you mean high school dropouts who want to earn $75k/year will a skill set that might one day qualify them as a burger-flip, no they're not doing so great, and haven't been for about 30 years. Tough.
As shocking as it sounds, the economy is actually doing quite well overall, and unemployment is not a problem (look at the European rates sometime).
Bush has become way too dependent on the radical right, and the Republican party is not far from the mistake the Democrats made, becoming too dependent on their own extremists in the selection of their candidate.
The important thing is to select candidates that can win the general election and not just the loonies (in both parties) that act as "party faithful". That's essentially what happened to the Democrats last time when they picked a Liberal from Massachusetts to run against Bush.
It seems Dean has figured this out but it's not clear he's been able convince the rank & file (see: Lieberman vs. Lamont). We'll see if the Democrats pick a moderate next time or pick another left-wing favorite such as Billary Clinton.
As for subpoena keep in mind that the House has to work with the Senate and that they can't just stop all other work. Also, such investigations are inevitable in two years anyway even if the Democrats lose the next election.

Good observation.
I'd like to add that "regular folks" are the people that enjoy lower tax rates, think wire-tapping incoming telephone calls from known terrorists is OK without a court order, use school vouchers to send their kids to a charter school and go to church on Sunday.
Wesley Clark is not one of them...

Dean is raising crazy money and helping to unify the party...Lamont is good for the party too becuz it is obvious Leiberman felt entitled to his seat and that is wrong. I would be interested in who you feel the stand out republicans are? I understand that we are coming from totally different viewpoints and ideologys but I just cant see any strong leadership in the Republican party. Allen? Santorum? McCain's straight talk express has jumped the tracks...Frist? lol P.S...Church is for Pussys!

Maybe if the rest of the world embraced free market capitalism rather than rallying around socialist kleptocrats like Kofi Annan or property confiscating thugs like Hugo Chavez or Robert Mugabe, they'd live better? Nice to see White liberals like you condescending to the majority of the world's population: "Poor babies! The reason you don't have indoor toilets isn't because of your lack of initiative! It's BUSH...and AMERICA! Let me whine for you while I drive my SUV to my Greenpeace meeting!"
If you have problems with the U.S. standard of living, perhaps you should sell your computer and buy a yurt on the plains of Mongolia? After your third day wiping your ass with leaves, you'd be swimming across the pacific to bask in the "land of capitalist exploitation".

First of all, I'm not white... but I "type white", so I can understand the mistake. Secondly, I don't own an SUV... but nice try. Finally, I have absolutely no problem with the standard of living in America. I thoroughly enjoy the standard of living I enjoy... and I'm not about to sacrifice two-ply toilet paper and HSIA for the sake of uplifting the downtrodden and opressed. However, I also don't delude myself into believing that the high standard of living I enjoy so much is simply the result of "good old fashioned plucky American ingenuity!"... and not the ill-gotten gains of neo-colonialism and the hypocrisy of a nation that extols the virtues of liberty, but refuses to share said liberty when it conflicts with our strategic and economic "interests". Oh yeah, they just lack the "initiative"... that's the problem! That's some keen political insight ya got there Mr. Alger. We have no problem with "kleptocrats" and thugs, as long as their willing to take the payoff and exploit their own people so we can strip-mine their country, pay their workers 5cents/hr to make $80 sneakers, and sell us a few cheap bananas. And god help the soul who really does show "initiative" ( Viva Arbenz! ). Who maaaaaybe tries to organize a union or some form of populist movement to uplift his people... 'cuz he'll be "disappeared" faster than an 8ball in the Oval Office. And we'll probably supply the guns to the secret police... just to discourage any "communist" insurgents. And god help the tinpot dictator who gets a little too big for his britches and starts acting like he really RUNS things in his own country! We might have to invade his piece-a-shit desert real estate just as a "preemptive" measure ( honestly, it'll just prevent a wider conflict in the future! ).
So I can live with the exploitation... just spare me the hypocrisy of all the pseudo-patriotic, masturbatory sermons about how much we value "human rights" ( unless they're being violated by a major trading partner ), and the "free market" ( as long as we can continue to profit from slave labor ). Just call it what it is; pure Machiavellian self-interest... and stop trying to dress it up as something more noble.
"Ask 'em when they're running out. Ask 'em when there's no heat in their homes and they're cold. Ask 'em when their engines stop. Ask 'em when people who have never known hunger start going hungry. You wanna know something? They won't want us to ask 'em. They'll just want us to get it for 'em!"

So, which political science professor taught you this drivel? Did he have his ponytail tied back with a wooden napkin ring? Or was it a woman who refuses to shave her legs because it would be "selling out" to our evil White male patriarchy?
You could have saved a lot of wear & tear on your keyboard by typing: "AmeriKKKa is evil, capitalism is evil, blah, blah, etc" because we've heard your liberal crap when Michale Moore said it the first time.
