The only way that we'll NOT get another president like Bush is if we reinstate the Constitution and enforce the rule of law.
We got Bush because Clinton called off the investigations and prosecutions of the Reagan-Bush & Bush-Quayle administrations. And behind that, superceding all of it, Bush happened because of the pardoning of Nixon. The Nixon pardon happened because of Cheney & Rumsfeld.
These are not just disconnected events. These people have been up to mischief for a long while. They never got over Watergate & their fall from grace. They never believed they did anything wrong.
Running from these facts isn't going to make the Nixon-Reagan-Bush-Cheney-GOP-Conservatives behave, or go away. Waiting them out, until they d!e, isn't going to end it -- They've raised & trained an army of 'true believers' to carry on after they're gone.
Investigations and trials go a long way in dealing with that. It's not their minds you want to change, but the millions of Americans who never knew the facts. They broke the law, and we enforce the law so that people KNOW the laws and live by them. If People don't agree with the laws, if they don't like the laws, they can change the laws. But the People have to have a direct experience and understanding of the laws before they can change them. And that's how you get an informed, healthy and active democracy. With a knowledgeable electorate.
