On "The Situation Room" today, we asked viewers the following questions, and here are some of our favorite responses that we didn't get to read on air:
More than half the country, including one in five Republicans, says they wish the Bush presidency were simply over. Is it?
No, the Bush regime is not over and we are condemned to see it played over and over like the movie "Groundhog Day"... where each day repeats, one catastrophe after another, one mistake after another, and one more set of lies after another.
Crystal, ChicagoOf course the Bush presidency isn't over. He has two more years to visit more disasters on this country and the world. And, as Cheney is so quick to point out, no one can stop them. It is truly frightening to contemplate.
Andrea, Twin Lake, MichiganOf course not. Even with the Democratic Congress hanging like an albatross around his neck (theoretically, anyway), he can still do infinitely more damage than any other individual in the world. And most likely, he will.
Leah, New York
Put me in the one in five Republican column.
BobDo you think politics has anything to do with the Bush administration's appointment of federal prosecutors?Of course. That is the way Pres. Bush and his administration operate. They want their own ideologues in positions of power. The more they can get in place, the more power they have.
Peg, Carrollton, TexasDoes the appointment of U.S. Attorneys have anything to do with politics? No. It has everything to do with politics. This president is the lamest of ducks.
Scott, Phoenix, ArizonaAs my 8-year-old son always tells me, "Duh".
Robert, New Orleans, LouisianaWhich presidential candidate would you like to have over your home for dinner?Jack, I'd like to extend a dinner invitation to any candidate that is going to put the needs of American citizens first. Please tell me who that is.
Barbara, Middletown, New YorkWes Clark is coming to dinner if I have my way. We'd have a complex, wide-ranging conversation with no index cards or talking points, and, yes, we'd have a beer. Hint to voters: Experienced over-achievers spend time hanging out, too. Elect one!
MaryHey Jack, About the only person in Washington, candidate or not, I'd like to have over for dinner would be Colin Powell. His dignity, honesty and morality is higher than most of the rest there combined. Otherwise, although I'm a registered Democrat, I'd like to break bread with John McCain.
Steven, Walnut Creek, CaliforniaI would like to have Senator Hagel over for dinner. He is an extremely decent, honest individual - a rare find in Washington these days.
Mary, Columbus, OhioI would not want any of the presidential candidates over for dinner. However you are welcome any time.
Jo, Ft. Smith, Arkansas
