2. This administration has brought ME to my knees, and
much of the country, I daresay.

If GWB hadn't been appointed by SCOTUS, we wouldn't be in Iraq, we wouldn't be hemorrhaging money, China wouldn't own the mortgage on our country (as Biden says), gas wouldn't be $4 a gallon, people wouldn't be living in fear of seeing their job prospects disappear (as mine seem to have disappeared). I've been brought to my knees. I'm bereft.

4. Torture, Pre-Emptive War, No Habeas Corpus, No 4th Amendment...
I ain't on my knees either, but as a collective, we are sucking fascist dick right now.

3. With all due respect... and all that crap
Ain't gonna happen. There is a script to be followed, and by damn, they're going to follow it.

I certainly appreciate the sentiment, though. My knees are real sore.

6. LOL !!! - I Agree...
And my fear, is that the fuckwads going after our convention, might just pull out all the stops.

According to the borg, there is no other way for them to win.

5. WillyT I would gladly discuss but I don't understand the question
But here are a couple of facts:

The Republican Convention will start on the same day as the NFL!

Obama will give his acceptance speech on the 45th Anniversay of MLK's "I have a dream" speech.

I honestly belive this country is teetering on the edge of disaster and anything bad that happens will be contributed to the * Admin criminals....

No we are not on our knees...even though we are living in bizarro world...we will prevail.

7. The guy in that photo doesn't look bereft.
Its from a church website. I assure you, Bush has not put anybody on their knees like that, though he wishes people were bowing down to him.
