On Tuesday, a coalition of activist groups will hold an event called "Yes We Can Arrest Bush," co-opting Obama's winning campaign message in a way he probably didn't intend. The protest will be in front of the FBI building along the inaugural parade route.
"Either on Sunday or Monday [President Bush] is going to pardon a bunch of people, and what the goal of Arrest Bush is ... is we're going to have a nexus of Arrest Bush and the Obama inauguration," said Jose Rodriguez of the group Arrest Bush.
Their reason for being the past 8 years is their hatred for Bush. Now it's all over. Maybe they can go do something productive with their time.

Time to Move On.
I read today that Bush commuted the sentences of two border patrol agents for shooting a Mexican drug dealer. Sounds like both Republicans and Democrats approved the commute. Note this was a commute of their sentences and was not a pardon. A spokesperson said that Bush would not be granting any more pardons or commutes, so the quote from this activist group is wrong.
All of the paranoid rants from the Alex Jones' of the world. Bush was supposed to order a coup by now and retain the presidency. Bush was supposed to have a secret ranch in Paraguay. Bush was gonna bomb Iran. Bush was gonna pardon everyone in his administration for "war crimes."
Why do people listen to this paranoid crap? There was a certain amount of it during Clinton (see the Clinton Body Count), but the level of craziness aimed at Bush exceeds all prior presidents put together.
I don't respect people who wear their politics on their shirt sleeves. They don't convince anyone and they appear to be nothing but self-righteous morons.
I know one of these obsessed Bush haters. He can turn anything into a "Bush is evil" tirade.
I'm hoping after tomorrow he'll mellow out some but I doubt that Bush is the problem. I think partisan politics is for very frustrated people. At least it seems that way...
Tesla, most everyone is partisan to some extent. I am, you are. I am referring to those who lace every single comment with some type of dumbass political statement about politicians they hate. It's like an obsessive-compulsive disorder. Hwy50ina49Dodge over on the Bubble Blog is a prime example.
Merrian-Webster says that partisan is:
"1: a firm adherent to a party, faction, cause, or person ; especially : one exhibiting blind, prejudiced, and unreasoning allegiance
2 a: a member of a body of detached light troops making forays and harassing an enemy b: a member of a guerrilla band operating within enemy lines"
So when I said partisan I meant a person "exhibiting blind, prejudiced, and unreasoning allegiance", though your usage in the looser sense of the term is correct. You learn something new everyday.
