"Bushmaster(s)" in the white House

In the poem "Dead Center" by Dinah Kudatsky which won Honorable Mention in a 2005 War Poetry contest www.winningwriters.com , the poet referred to George Dubya Bush as a "Bushmaster", a venomous snake. I'd say she doesn't go far enough. Karl Rove, Veep Dick Cheney, Condie Rice, and many of the rogue's gallery of Bushies are all toxic or venomous to our government and the nation as a whole. We'll all be better off once they finally leave office en masse on or B4 January 9, 2009. Unfortunately, Mitt Romney or another conservative Republican con artist may be able to fool enough voters to continue Bush's pernicious policies and insidious agendae for several years to come. As for the present, Bush wants to make permanent his Stasi-like domestic surveillance program and unfortunately it looks like the dominant Democrats will cave on it and most Republicans will tenaciously support whatever Dubya wants especially if it is detrimental to everyone else. On the positive side, Bush showed his true colors in threatening to reject legislation to enable children whose parents are too well-off for Medicare but too poor to afford their own insurance to be able to get government subsidies to at least be able to insure their children. This will likely come back to haunt the Republican Party in the next election and damn am I glad about it.
