Congress nothing but 'yes' men for Bush

We must band together and rein in the power that Bush is amassing. It's the responsibility of the Senate to check the power of the executive branch.

Sadly, the Republican-controlled Senate has become Bush enablers — and has done nothing.

A good example is the McCain anti-torture legislation. Bush signed it into law and immediately said he is the boss and he will do what he wants, thumbing his nose at the law.

It's obvious Bush thinks he is above the law, and his "yes" men in Congress reinforce that belief. The Republicans have betrayed the public trust; they are out to take permanent control of our government.

The only way to save our country is restore our two-party system — assure balance. Our country is in grave danger. Don't impeach Bush; fire the Republicans in 2006. If it wasn't for the GOP-controlled Congress, Bush wouldn't be able to continue assaulting the middle class, the strength of our country.

Remember the Bush/GOP cronyism, incompetence and deception when you vote in 2006.
