3. I think it's more of a suicide.

11. Indeed, we can't really take the credit for their incompetence.
But if things start turning around, for the better, I don't see how the pukes recover any time soon.

they are panicking in the tub, thrashing about, wearing themselves out and swallowing water.

4. i think it would be ironic, as waterboarding is simulated drowning.
but i don't think we really need do anything... they are doing a bang up job of it themselves.

7. Wouldn't you be hung for torture?
Oh, no. That's right. Bush/Cheney did it, but it was OK. Carry on!

13. It would be better to use acid (ala the Cleaner) because those fuckers can hold their
breath for a long time. I also think there will always be that segment of the population who are just plain bad. And there really is not much we can do to totally eliminate them - they reproduce like viruses. As for making their political structure irrelevant and powerless - that is just a dream some of us had. We will never completely rid ourselves and our society of their influence, but it is a goal worth striving for.

15. One-third of the country thought Bush did a good job
That's not an insubstantial number. Those ranks swell when times are tough. President Obama didn't win in a walk over - a lot of people are still very uncomfortable Accomplishing his goals will require a lot of hard work, not just hoping he GOP keeps doing it to itself.

20. Well--- who is their leader? They have none...
They're white--- and that's it--- they're simply outnumbered.

21. No, they tripped and knocked themselves unconscious and fell in.
It remains to be seen if they wake up in time.
