#1 "his failure to protect the overall quality of life in Washington"

Now, where is that in the Constitution?

#2 These asshats fail to note that Bush signed on to lower diesel emissions, which will be a substantial good for the environment. He also signed protectionist legislation for steel, timber and farms -- so much for the "anti-jobs" claim. And he signed an education bill that even Ted Kennedy liked.

Nope, these asshats are just card-carrying members of the Not-So-Vast-Left-Wing-Conspiracy, and just as goofy as the VRWC.

#3 I hope they have the giant puppets - nothing declares your seriousness on the issues like a giant paper-machier puppet

#5 Maybe George should drive through Washington in an Abrams tank, flanked on both sides by chain-gun wielding Bradleys.

It's easy and cheap to "oppose" or "protest". It takes time, effort, money, and an IQ above 20 to actually DO something about all the problems that exist in this nation. Unfortunately, the protest-mentality groups are also the ones that helped cause a lot of the problems that need to be solved. Of course, making the connection needs more neurons than are left after 30 years of smoking pot and drinking beer.

#8 The only good that will come of this is that the envirogroupies tend to run around naked with slogans painted on their shapely firm little butts.
