<p>Trust? Excuse me? We don't need trust, we need a damn action here. </p>

<p>So, is this as serious as it looks?</p>

<p>I started a thread about this very thing in the Parent Cafe - Bush Grab for Power.</p>

<p>NO!!!! It is FAR MORE Serious than any of us can imagine!</p>

<p>Well you should go over to the parents' thread. They seem to think it's no big deal. Coming from a genuine leader, maybe it wouldn't be...but from our current dictator-wanna-be, we should definitely be concerned!</p>

<p>I'd ignore it too; Lincoln and such passed these things too. But Dubya made wonderful comments about being "... an ultimate decider ..." and ".. the person who is making decisions here ...": I am concerned.</p>

<p>And I really don't understand why the hell republicans aren't impeaching Bush and kicking him outta the party: that way they might have a slight chance during next elections. This addictiveness to the line of party chosen before despite anything is both scaring me and pleasing. Pleasing because I know now republicans aren't trading their beliefs for approval ratings and becoming a a political prostitute. </p>

<p>If this is false alarm and Bush won't become dictator, I'll vote for republicans for as long as I could.</p>

<p>I agree with some of what you said, up until the 'pleasing' part. So why is it somehow worthy of respect to adhere to strict party loyalty when the party is not even loyal to its ideology? Please vote on today's MSNBC poll:</p>

<p>The ideology is obviously changing with time. People that are going for something that they think is **right<a href="even%20if%20it's%20wrong">/b</a> to death despite voice of majority deserve respect, imho.</p>

<p>I would agree with you, chipset, about individual actions. But not in the case of the president. He is supposed to represent the will of the people. That's his job.</p>
