Bush started out 8 years ago as a harmless doofus but has shown himself to be one of the most diabolically bad presidents in history. No pardons for Bush or Cheney when they get indicted!!!

The Executive Pardon is the only remaining power Bush got and nobody, including Congress, can stop it since it is explicit in the U.S. Constitution. Only a Constitutional Amendment and ratified by 36 states can eliminate or restrict the Executive Pardon.

The Price of the Iraq war...$ 1 Trilion USD
The Price of the Bank / Wall Steet Bail out scam...
$ 700 Billion USD
The Price of Massive losses and outsourcing of U.S. jobs...$ 650 Billion USD

The cost of watching the WORST Presidential team in U.S. History go down in utter disgrace with their party loosing BIG ON EVERY ELECTION FRONT....................PRICELESS !!

The White House is working to enact a wide array of federal regulations, many of which would weaken government rules aimed at protecting consumers and the environment, before President Bush leaves office in January.
****************************

And people wonder why we support Obama. This is John McCains boy, mirrors his philosophy, and voted with him over 90pct of the time. The current Republican philosophy is screw the consumer and screw the enviornment. The Republican party has reduced itself to an evil party with no morals or scruples. Good riddence to GWB and forget John McCain.

Only a very Evil person would eliminate regulations that help our health and therefore our quality of life. Does Bush cares about the legacy he leaves behind?

This is truly unbelievable. But, I always have to repeat what I end up thinking "Americans deserve exactly what they voted for in 2000 and again in 2004."

Is Bush the devil? Is there any depths to which he and his cronies won''t stoop to, in order to further their radical right-wing agenda???

Funny how you interpret my statements to your advantage.

I never said I fear opening doors at nights. In fact, if you go back 1 page on my entries here, you will find I do not need guns because I fear nobody. I am a FREE person.

All I said is a gun in your house is completely useless for self-defense when the killer shots you within a second of opening the door.

Do not shot tonight, kids will be coming for trick or treatings.

''White House Makes Final Push To Deregulate''

As if running the engine and most cars off the tracks was not enough fun, we will now try to get that pesky caboose to plunge over the cliff...

Written by a veteran and I quote "Senator McCain you are no hero, you are in fact a terrorist.

Your campaign advisor & "Transition Chief" William Timmons was a Saddam Hussein lobbyist for 5 years.
You pal around with Gordon Liddy, domestic terrorist.
You are a member of "The Project for a New American Century" - a radical extremist terrorist organization.
Your VP candidate''''s husband Todd Palin is a domestic terrorist in the Alaskan Independence Party.
You accuse Obama of knowing Rashid Khalidi, yet you yourself have given Rashid Khalidi & the PLO $500,000.00!!! So by your logic, if Obama is a terrorist sympathizer like you claim, then you Senator McCain are a state sponsor of terrorism. You are, by your own twisted logic, a terrorist by your own admittance.
You have met with Chilean Dictator Pinochet, a terrorist.
You''''re coordinated effort to use FOX NEWS, the Bush Administration, your campaign, Sarah Palin, and The Justice Department to commit voter fraud, voter intimidation, & voter suppression is an act of terrorism.

John McCain you are a disgrace!"

Talking about deregulation, I just read in Atlanta voters are queueing 8 to 10 hours to cast their vote, in Europe we vote in 5 to 10 minutes. It seems you all live in a banana republic due to the fact the gop does not want you to vote in potential blue states, or off course the US does not possess the technology to arrange proper impermeable elections.(HaHa!)

This is an outrage. The Bush administration has already done enough damage. Don''t they know when to stop, my God! He''s destroyed the republican party for years to come. I hope he and his father Sr. Bush is proud of his discrace of a son. The Bush name is..no more. He''s been a inept president and hasn''t made any good decisions. I think it''s about time we get an intelligent person running this country again. We need someone in there that shares the values that we all hold near and dear. Obama has the judgement to begin repairing all of the damage that Bush and the Republican majority did in the first 6 years of his rule. He''s nearly turned this country into a dictatorship/police state. I want my freedoms back and the parts of our government like the FDA and EPA, among others to finally have some people in there enforcing the rules. The lobbyists have been put in charge of making regulations for the last 8 years. It makes no sense. It''s the fox guarding the hen house. McCain is only going to be basically another 4 years of Bush and I can''t take another term of that. I do think however that the Republicans intend to disinfranchise as many voters as possible this Tuesday in order to get this presidency. If they steal another election I''m done with politics. I can''t keep doing this. I''m tired...my family is tired..we''re sick..sick of being sick.

There are ample numbers of rules and regulations that the President has authority over without the approval of Congress.

Bush can still do a lot of damage during his "lame duck" time in office. Of course, if he had any sense of shame, he would just keep his mouth shut for the next few months regardless of who wins the election.

If Obama get''''s elected this is one farmer that will not plant any crops. When you Obama supporters get hungry. Ask Obama to feed you...I will plant enough for my family and get paid not to plant...

Good, why don''t you cut off your nose to spite your face while you''re at it. Given McBush''s votes on agriculture, farmers who support Palin/McBush are either idiots or greedy b@stards. Or maybe just plain ignorant...

This headline is nothing more than crapp for the haters, Bush is a lame duck and can''''t push anything. Do you libs understand the fact that there are more Dems in both houses of congress than repubs? Please anyone of you explain how Bush can push anything when the Dems are in the majority?? I guess it''''s just more fodder for the haters here at leftwing central!

Bush''s actions don''t involve the Congress, so it doesn''t matter. It''s all Bush.

Obama is a whole lot more interested in protecting our environment than any Republican will ever be. McCail''n may claim that global warming is a big deal, but there''s no way he and Pain care about the environment.

Time to reign in the gross polluters, clear-cutters, and monster (consumer) vehicles that jam our freeways and choke our skies.

What good is an AK-47 in your house when a visitor knocks on your door and shots you when you open the door?

Freedom is when you have no fear.

What good is an AK-47 when the U.S. Government shows up at your front door with a Military M1 Tank?
