Knowing the old right is wrong and the Left is the new right I have to agree with Bush: The right is all wrong and the White House should remain Right, that is in Democratic Hands! Today Bush tells Tornado victims they were dealt a raw hand! What about the rest of the country?
Yesterday I was stunned listening to Romney's withdrawal speech. It was a rant against the danger of Democrats getting into the White House with their welfare and new deal programs in tow and their desire to stop the war mongering. I was sickened that Democrats were painted as the enemy of America and Bush's so called success. What ? Success? look at Bush's proposed Budget. Can the average American survive any more of this so called success? First I found the transcript of his speech and I recommend that you read it and pass it on so people see the horrible attitude we are facing and why it is more than important that we take back the White House.

While I'm at it I want to give you the link to the most useful web site on Politics and an unbiased read on what is happening on both sides of the aisle. Again I ask you to pass this around as the Relentless Liberal sent it to me and it is what the experts use to stay on top of things. Real clear Politics
On February 4th, President Bush announced his Budget for the 2009 Fiscal Year. Once again, his budget priorities are badly misaligned with the country’s needs. His budget continues to safeguard tax-cuts for the rich while pumping billions of dollars into the war and neglecting priorities here at home. It is the duty of Congress to ensure the nation’s priorities and needs are reflected in the final budget.It is there duty but they will fail us again!
The proposed budget would cut billions from programs that benefit families and communities while giving unprecedented amounts to the Pentagon. More than half of the requested non-emergency discretionary funding—$515.4 billion—would go to the Pentagon, a seven percent increase from 2008 levels. This amount does not include spending on the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan.
Meanwhile, hard-working Americans are suffering from a slowing economy, increased job-loss, and a declining housing market. The President’s $3.1 trillion budget would pay for the continuing tax cuts for the rich by cutting funding to domestic programs including Medicare, Medicaid, environmental protection, the Centers for Disease Control, and the Low-Income Home Energy Assistance Program (LIHEAP). Under the President’s proposal non-security domestic spending levels would increase less than 1% and remain frozen for the next four years. I am just blown away that this idiot is still get away with this and it will continue as Romney said it should unless we take over in 2009!
Not only is this a harmful budget, it is also a highly deceptive budget. Although the Administration claims its budget eventually reaches balance, under realistic assumptions it remains in deficit every year. The budget does not account for the true cost of the war in Iraq and includes funds that would come by allowing the AMT to ensnare millions of middle-class taxpayers. When he took office, the president was handed a surplus on a silver platter. Seven years later, his fiscal policies have turned record surpluses into record deficits.
This year, Congress is in the position to say no to the harmful budgetary policies of the Bush administration. We know that the American people will not stand for the continued dismissal of important domestic programs that assist hard working citizens in achieving their American Dream. I will work tirelessly as the budget and appropriations processes progress this year to ensure that the true priorities of the American people are safeguarded.
* That is a letter from My Congressman John Olver. As you know, he is right but it is a whole lot worse than this portrays and this nightmarish mis-management is to continue if Romney and McCain have their way. I was really amazed to hear how many people agree with them and their lies about Democrats. Despite the insurmountable damage Bush has created he has now gone on record calling for it to continue! Without naming John McCain, President Bush marshaled the conservative wing of the Republican Party on Friday to back the presumed GOP presidential nominee for the upcoming battle against the Democratic Party.
“The stakes in November are high. This is an important election. Prosperity and peace are in the balance,” Bush told about 2,000 people attending the Conservative Political Action Conference. “So with confidence in our vision and faith in our values, let us go forward, fight for victory and keep the White House in 2008.” Bush spoke to a boisterous crowd shortly after 7 a.m. EST. The ballroom erupted in cheers when someone shouted “Are there conservatives in the house?” When the president walked on stage, they clapped and chanted “Four more years! Four more years!”
Bush reached his lowest approval rating in The Associated Press-Ipsos poll on Friday as only 30 percent said they like the job he is doing, including an all-time low in his support by Republicans. Still, the crowd gave him standing ovations, cheering his comments on tax relief, the military buildup in Iraq, the Reagan years and his opposition to abortion. They booed when Bush said his critics want to expand the size and scope of the federal government. Conservatives are resigned to seeing McCain lead the Republican ticket in November, but he has a long history of disputes with the party’s right flank. Conservatives may try to influence McCain’s positions and his choice of a running mate. And the possibility exists that they will stay home in November, a development that could cost him swing states such as Ohio. Bush rallies Repugs to keep the White House in 2008
**I hope to God for America's sake they do stay home. We ca not survive another four years of so called success. Another for years of worsening conditions for average Americans. Another four years of never ending war. Another four years of lies, corruption and misuse. I just watched the chief idiot in Tennessee telling Tornado victims he feels their pain and the Government will be there to help them. He has yet to help Katrina or any of the other growing number of catastrophe victims. Why didn't someone point that out? Why does no one hold him accountable to put his money where his mouth is? Point out his failures! All of them! He has only succeeded at staying the course in his wars and it will soon get a lot worse regardless of who the next President is. We can not survive another four years of Republican mi-Leadership! We must the Republican disinformation juggernaut and succeed this fall!
