Republicans continue to Destroy themselves and their party as Bush Honors Gore at White House! Bush doesn't care so what's it worth? What'll Gore do?


Today I want to discuss the self destruction of the Republican party but knowing Bush does not care and the fact that some of us are very concerned that one way or the other the 2008 elections will once again be stolen. I want to talk about the two faced lying Bush as Gore is going to be there today to be honored by the idiot who lied and stole his election but first a reminder that a week ago we discussed the underhanded lying disinformation campaigning taught by Rove and used routinely By Republicans now being employed by Democrats against Democrats.

I have said for quite a while now that if we are to be able to compete with and beat this underhanded Republican disinformation campaign we must like it or not play the game on their level but we must not be damaging our own party for personal gain at the expense of our America. This just plays into Rove's and Republican hands.With only 30 days until the first votes are cast in the Iowa caucus, every candidate and campaign is looking for an edge, and clearly some folks are finding those edges in dirty tricks — nasty information, sometimes false, often spread anonymously. It's a murky world and often tough to tell what's true, what's false and where any of it is coming from. This weekend, conservative columnist Robert Novak reported that agents of Sen. Hillary Clinton, D-N.Y., claimed her campaign has scandalous information about Sen. Barack Obama, D-Ill., but they have decided not to use it.The Obama campaign quickly took the item and used it to tar Clinton as part of the proverbial problem. "If the purpose of this shameless item was to daunt or discourage me or supporters of our campaign from challenging and changing the politics of Washington, it will fail," an Obama campaign statement said.Dirty tricks have been a part of American politics as far back as the mudslinging in the 1800 race between Thomas Jefferson and John Adams. The Dirty game
Democratic sniping against their own is not subsiding but I am happy to hear that the Republican frontrunners are doing it to each other and it is taking a toll. GOP hopefuls Mitt Romney and Rudy Giuliani exchanged numerous verbal spars over the weekend -- just days before the two will meet face-to-face at the CNN/YouTube debate. The bulk of the battle stemmed from Romney's decision on Friday to call for the resignation of Massachusetts Superior Court Judge Kathe Tuttman -- 20 months after he appointed her.

Romney defended his decision Saturday, saying that Tuttman had "showed an inexplicable lack of good judgment," and that, despite her "record of being a law and order prosecutor," her poor judgment requires her to step down. Giuliani, who was also in New Hampshire, told The Associated Press on Saturday, "the governor is going to have to explain his appointment and the judge is going to have to explain her decision."
Romney shot back -- making jabs at Giuliani's judgment. Romney pointed to his rival's close friend and former New York police commissioner, Bernard Kerik, who is being indicted on multiple counts of corruption and fraud. "It's strange to have him bringing forward my selection of individuals to serve, judges and so forth, when he's got Bernie Kerik all over him these days. When someone he knew was under investigation, he recommended to the president to be secretary of Homeland Security?... Throwing stones from a glass house is never a wise thing to do," Romney said in an interview to be aired Monday on CNN's "The Situation Room." romney, Giuliani attacks get personal
Also, The back-and-forth backbiting between Republican presidential rivals Rudy Giuliani and Mitt Romney spilled over into Sunday as Giuliani contended that the former Massachusetts governor has fumbled on health care and economic matters.
Asked by a diner patron about Romney's health care program while governor, Giuliani said Romney "made a mistake" by mandating coverage for all Massachusetts residents. "When you mandate it, it ends up costing you much more money," said Giuliani, a former New York mayor. Repug backbiting continues
Being from Massachusetts I will tell you Romney is as worthless and as big a liar as Bush. His damage was wide spread and is still coming to light. I am happy to see the Republican back biting and I can only hope they eat themselves up though I do question whether or not it matters knowing many of us think that if there is an election in 2008 it will by hook or by crook stolen by the Republicans.
That said I am still happy to see Sen. Trent Lott of Mississippi, the No. 2 Republican in the Senate, will announce his resignation effective this year, FOX News has learned. Lott, 66, was re-elected in 2006 amid speculation that he would retire. Instead, against his wife Tricia's wishes, he ran again, regaining a Senate leadership position after being forced from the top Republican seat in 2002, following remarks he made that were seen as racially insensitive.
Lott, who is serving his fourth Senate term, was expected to discuss his plans later Monday. Lott becomes the sixth Senate Republican this year to announce retirement, possibly posing more difficulties for an embattled GOP that will be trying to retain the presidency and fight further losses to Democrats who regained control of both houses of Congress last November.

His leaving also will create an open Republican leadership slot, but FOX News has learned that Senator Jon Kyl of Arizona will make a run for that spot. Lott's decision to remain in the Senate last year was aimed in part at using his clout to push for repairs to his state's coastal region after the wrath left by the 2005 hurricane season, including hurricanes Katrina and Rita. Lott's own coastal home was destroyed by the storms. Good or bad you decide
* I thought Lott was tired of the game and wanted out now because he was sick of playing the sole role of blocking any Democratic efforts to help the country and the people. Then I found out all these idiots are getting out before the new law kicks in and they have to wait 2 years before they can be Lobbyists and steal real money. I can only hope all recent events help destroy the Republican Party though as I said and many feel the same way, I absolutely expect another stolen election.
** Quickly I want to touch on Al Gore going to the White House to be honored by the idiot who stole his Presidency. The two will meet today in the Oval Office, where President Bush will honor the American winners of this year's Nobel's, including Gore, the former vice president who claimed his share of the Peace Prize this year for his work on global warming and also claimed a majority of the popular vote in the presidential election of 2000 but lost to Bush in the Electoral College -- following a 36-day court fight over a disputed 537-vote margin for Bush in Florida.
Listen to this BS! "The president is very pleased that both Vice President Gore and Mrs. Gore will attend today,'' said Dana Perino, the White House press secretary. "President Bush personally called Vice President Gore and asked him to attend… They will meet privately… in the Oval… prior to the visit with the other Nobel laureates.
"This president is looking forward to having a private meeting with him,'' she said. Yet the Oval Office ceremony with the Nobel laureates will serve as a "photo opportunity,'' not a public ceremony per se, the White House says today. What's said in the Oval Office may well stay in the Oval Office. Look at this BS
** I am sick of the games, underhandedness, and two faced lying initiated by this mis-Administration. I am sure there will be a private meeting first but only to hopefully eliminate any unwelcome surprises. I would love for Gore to take the opportunity to announce a run for the Presidency. Wow would that change the landscape! Either that or he should accept Bush's congratulations and instead of shaking hands with the chief idiot, simply nod and walk away! What do you think?

Bush Reserves Right to ignore Laws, Challenges 1,100 Bill sections, More than all other Presidents combined!

Bush reserves right to ignore laws, challenges 1,100 Bill sections, more than all Presidents Combined. Then there's Cheney who can ignore Bush's laws! It's an uncontrollable circle jerk!
I set out to write about Cheney's ongoing argument that he is above Bush's rules but of course it got deeper. First with Congress, Cheney, and Bush all ignoring each other I have to reiterate, what friggen good are they? Opinions on all of them are at record lows and they could all care less as they all continue to do nothing, do what they want, and none of them give a damn.
Bush may be President but Cheney is the real Decider. Cheney and Rove's got him elected to be cheerleader to push their agenda through. During the interim Bush has learned to be the master of Rove's taught 3 D Politics (deceitful, deceptive, divisive, Politics) to get what he wants.
During their tenure Bush has set a fine example. I should be used to the crap by now but this really stunned me. In a report to Congress, the non partisan Government Accountability Office studied a small sample of the bill provisions that Bush has signed into law but also challenged with signing statements.
The GAO found that agencies disobeyed six such laws, while enforcing 10 others as written even though Bush had challenged them.
It is a common feeling for us that what damn good is a law or anything if Bush can just rewrite it or ignore it? A signing statement is a legal document filed in the Federal Register the day a president signs a bill into law. It instructs the executive branch about how to implement the new statutes the bill creates, and sometimes it states that certain provisions are unconstitutional and need not be enforced as written.
Bush's signing statements have drawn fire because he has used them to challenge more than 1,100 sections of bills -- more than all previous presidents combined. The sample the GAO studied represents a small portion of the laws Bush has targeted, but its report concluded that sometimes the government has gone on to disobey those laws. I mean, what the frig? http://www.boston.com/...
While Bush is challenging more than all our Presidents combined and rewriting whatever he deems necessary the real Decider who is doing much of the dirty work reserves the right to be above anything Bush sets into law so he can cover for him.
The White House struggled to explain yesterday why President Bush complies with rules and oversight on secret documents but Vice President Cheney doesn't. However, I already have! There were also no answers about why Cheney followed the rules in 2001 and 2002 but began stonewalling on documents in 2003 as the CIA leak case was breaking and weapons of mass destruction were not to be found in Iraq. It is simple. His misdeeds and cover ups for Bush are now obviously against the law The White House simply shrugs it off and says they will check on it. Yeah right!
There are rumors that Cheney tried to abolish the government office charged with safeguarding documents, which was hounding him for access but of course it is denied.
Cheney has often cited executive privilege stemming from his office in the Bush administration to reject requests from Congress. But the vice president's office has also claimed that because Cheney is president of the Senate in the legislative branch, he is exempt from a request by an agency in the executive branch. http://www.nydailynews.com/...
This is absolute BS and is by design a circle jerk rendering Congress and us powerless to stop them from doing what they want. Of course to cap it off Gonzales was asked to order Cheney to comply but the Justice Department has yet to rule. We are powerless to stop these corrupt new order idiots and we have to change that quickly.
