Has Doug Thompson lost his mind?
by mad_jack_flint

Is Doug Thompson calling for the overthrow of our government?

I don't know if any of you read the rant on the Capitol Hill Blue or know who Doug Thompson is but if you do it make me wonder if this man is about to do something unlawful?

Read his rant and I ask if this guy reads and sounds like someone that posts on this board?

Time for a new American revolution? July 7, 2008 - 6:55am.

By DOUG THOMPSON

As an American, I can no longer site idly by and watch George W. Bush and his criminal cabal destroy the country that I love.

As an American, I can not hide behind the excuse that I'm tired or retired or no longer interested in politics.

What Bush and his henchmen and women have done to this nation goes far beyond politics. He is a despotic criminal, a deranged faux leader with megalomaniacal delusions of grandeur that threaten not only the future of America, but the peace and security of the world.

George W. Bush is a war criminal, a mass murderer who has sent not only more than 4,000 American men and women in uniform to their deaths but whose insane actions have killed untold and too often undocumented thousands upon thousands of Iraqi and Afghan civilians.

He and his criminal conspiracy have gutted the Constitution, destroyed the liberties that once defined this nation and stripped America of respect on the world stage.

He must be stopped - now. We cannot wait until January 20, 2009, to replace this madman.

We know what must be done. The question is how to accomplish his removal without putting the nation in even greater peril.

Simply impeaching Bush is not an answer. Removing him by impeachment means turning the reins of power over to Vice President Dick Cheney, the mastermind of many of the criminal acts that will define forever the legacy of the Bush administration. That option is unacceptable.

Ridding this country of the cancer that invades our government requires far more drastic action. Sadly, no one in the line of succession measures up to the formidable task of steering the nation back onto a course that will avoid our inevitable date with destiny.

The Democratic leadership of Congress is not up to the job. Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi and Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid are political hacks who can't even enforce the mandates handed them by voters in the 2006 mid-term elections and Pelosi refuses to let her party take any action that would remove a despot like Bush from power.

Sadly, we can't depend on the November elections to change the course of history. Republican John McCain has turned into a Bush clone and Democrat Barack Obama has gone from being an agent of change to just another sniveling, opportunistic wannabe who will do or say anything for a vote.

America's problems cannot be solved by removing one pack of corrupt jackals from office and replacing it with another.

It's time for Americans to take back America. It's time to stop looking for short-term solutions to a long-term problem.

Recapturing America requires drastic action and radical change.

How do we do this?

I don't know.

But I'm back and I'm working on it.

I dont know who he is but I agree with him.

Bush, Cheney, Reid, Pelosi, McCain & Obama are all worthless sacks of crap. Not a decent one in the bunch.

If McCain was not hell bent on the immigration reform you would vote for him, but I agree they do suck, but let vote them out, or at least vote a small minority of third party members into congress. You don't need a majority to make the life of the Democrats and Republicans hell because certain amount of third party members will be enough to stop their crap and change the system....

"Republican John McCain has turned into a Bush clone and Democrat Barack Obama has gone from being an agent of change to just another sniveling, opportunistic wannabe who will do or say anything for a vote."

Too accurate and excellent phrasing. I may just have to borrow that "sniveling, opportunistic wannabe..." It has a nice ring to it as well as good visual.

He also hit Pelosi and Reid on the head.

Not too many third party candidates running for Congress are there?
Re: That's the problem

Too many third party candidates run for the Oval office, and not for the Congress. If the Libertarian or Green party would focus on the Congress and not the White House then maybe they could bring change but until then they will never become anything but the jokes that they are....

I've suggested that Ron Paul run for governor of Texas, a reasonable shot, and would give him the opportunity to put his ideas into practice and show the rest of the country how they would work in the real world.

The politicians we have today are worthless, but Thompson reads a little unhinged. He is correct that Obama is a wannabe and McCain is a clone, and Reid along with Pelosi are worthless, but what he is calling for is disturbing. Just vote the fools out and be done with it, and that is the best thing for this country.

If Thompson had any vision he would challenge third party groups like the Libertarians and the Green Party to win seats in Congress and drop the foolish bid for the White House, but again he has no vision to do this.

Re: He wouldn't win
by mad_jack_flint
I like Paul, and yes he keep his seat because of where he is from, but the truth is he would never win the Governor Job here in Texas. Maybe in Alaska he would but not here....

Yes, I'd vote for McCain if not for his stand on immigration reform. Obama is a disaster - a flake who's just too liberal. Also, I don't want a Dem president if the Dems are gonna keep their hold on Congress. It's really too bad a stronger Republican isn't running.
