Wanted: Political Ambidexterity from anyone!!

                                                    

Subject: Oreilley's talking points memo election day was as usual biased and off base. Reminding people to vote was the only correct thing he said. He blames all our problems on the so called Left and the Left Wing media.

They are only attempting to counter #1 News Channel fox News and the crooked Right Wing anti American agenda. He blames left Wing radicals for destroying family values. When I experienced the court dominance over the family it was pre 24 hour news and their influence.

 I never though that it was because of Left wing control. Until 24 hour media control many of us were oblivious to who was controlling us. We are controlled that we know, right or left is not important only that it is wrong.

 He says the Left Wing media is trying to convince Americans that the government knows best for our children and our families. Isn't that the way it has been for years and in fact is right now? Isn't this a Republican led country? Isn't this excessive control increasing under Republican misdirection?

 Hasn't our rights been squashed, Government enlarged, and spending allowed to run amok under the so called Conservatives. He says these are complicated issues. Like everything else they are only complicated because we purposely make them that way. Parents right have been dead for years.

Media controls the Political agenda with the advent of 24 hour news channels not the Left. The Media controls Public perception not the left. Media controls the issues discussed not the Left. Media turns everything into Left versus right for their personal pleasure and financial gain

. It isn't the left that is our problem it is the media and their control of every single agenda. With the Republicans masterful control of P. R. and thus the media, the media have facilitated all of our problems and divisiveness.

President Carter will get our word out but will they listen?

In light of President Carter's new book and the fact thet we are finally hearing truth voiced from someone who at least be heard. I am going to be posting exerpts I and others have said in the past that are the exact things President Carter observed only he is listened to and we aren't. Here is the first exerpt.We have to talk about this because in light of the performance of our Senators and Congress not too speak of this entire administration this makes complete sense. We have been continually talking and writing about this do nothing Republican Congress and Senate. They continually cry foul as to the Democrats interfering in their desires. Then when they have the chance to do something they do nothing but waste valuable time. We know that this has been happening well before
this current administration. We also know this administration has brought new never before seen lows as far as misrepresentation, dishonesty, religious intervention in Government policies, general incompetence and total lack of responsibility and accountability. Since the beginning of this current administration the Congress and Senate have become increasingly ineffective and very unconcerned with what we the people think. Increasingly as we have been saying, they do not work for the general public but for the President and special interests. Like the President they prove this day in and day out. It is time for us to adhere to the following principle and do the right thing for us and the country.We must relearn the principle of putting the country first and doing the right thing for the sake of doing the right thing as a Government, our future depends on it.

Evolution verse intelligent design but why?

Thinking about this renewed daily debate with daily reminders in the news I remembered that this was an issue a while back and I wrote about it from an unbiased viewpoint. Here it is in response to Bush's intervention. I had to talk about this because I thought the President had no right to inject his beliefs into this debate but I did find myself agreeing with a small part of what he said and that never happens. Of course it isn't for the obvious reasons or for any selfish personal agenda but rather it is the facts. We have discussed in the past the theory of intelligent design. I do not believe in this for Religious reasons but rather for common sense. like most, i happen to believe in evolution. I also believe in what we call intelligent design. Both if thought about unbiasedly are fact. However due to personal bias most take one side of the issue or the other. Both views however are part of the whole which is man today as we know him. Religion should not be taught in our public schools. However, in teaching one or the other you are just giving half the equation and thus injecting your own personal agenda. Bush was speaking up for his base the fundamentalist Christian Right to lifer's and he has no right to advocate any principle as he has no leg to stand on. He has no right to advocate that religion in any context be taught in our public schools. Evolution is an undeniable fact, so too is some kind of intelligent design. We must remember that in the end our selfish bias should not be the measure. Right or wrong, the truth, the whole story, should be the only measure. We must get back to Thomas Jefferson's ideal that once you became a member of society you would automatically obtain common sense and do the right thing for that society. Forget about it today.

I.E.D.priority only a consideration???

With 6 more troops killed Thursday by improvised explosive devices. With 60% of our 2037 troops killed and the biggest killer of troops being I E D's I can't believe we havn't devoted our all to the effort of detecting these things. We can figure out anything if we want to or in this case i'm sure, if there was enough financial incentive. What on earth are we waiting for? With 96 dead, October is the 4th deadliest month of the war. I refuse to believe that only now "11/04" is the Pentagon considering making the effort to develop new tactics and technologies against I E D's its top priority.Considering? this is unconscionable and unbelievable. What is wrong with us? What are we waiting for? According to the Pentagon combatting the ever improving I E d's has only been discussed. This should be priority one. We should have a top priority, innovative thinking, task force in front of their improvisations not them in front of us. These are fellow Americans we are talking about, regardless of what you think about the iraq war we have to take care of our own. If we wanted to we could figure out a way technologically to beat these I E D's. Put Bush over there. We wouldn't like it but We'd have an answer real quick.

A Christian is Is not a Chritian does !

I just caught sight of Bill Oreilley's transcript on Religion under Seige. Once again, he is right on the subject but biased and wrong in his stance. Religion is under seige as he says. However not only is it under seige by the ACLU who is trying to take Religion from the lives and vocabulary of the entire country. The so called Religious Right are often times worse than the so called Atheist's they love to bash. Bill's defense of Christianity is off base and purposely misleading as is every defense he makes on any situation. I like many of you am Christian. just because you are Christian or any other Religion does not by any means make you good or bad by decree.
Bill's defense: 85% of Americans call themselves christian
Fact: Only a small number actually practice and are true to Christianity

Bill's question: Why's that?
Fact: It's popular and they think it will save them from their personal ills

Bill, How did it happen?
Fact: good P. R. nothing more, action's speak louder than words in Religion

Bill, What exactly is christianity?
Fact: most Christians don't know or have what it takes to fill the meaning

* We all see the Christians we are led by in the Republican party, how two faced, under handed, and in fact anti Christian they in fact really are. I for one have met so many actual anti christian proffessed Christians that think what they want is what Christianity is all about i'm turned off myself. They talk about Islamists hijacking their religion. They are no better.

Not a Prayer in Hell/not even by a Fundamentalist Christian!

I just want to say this. If Alito is as good as we are hearing him professed to be. Why didn't Bush pick him in the first place? You know Bush better than to think he isn't going to get his way so let me suggest this. Miers was too good to be true for liberals in the first place, she appeared from the start to be a setup. Bush knew that liberals and Conservatives would be dead set against Miers nomination. She would ultimately not get the nod and Bush would be forced to nominate someone the conservatives and he himself wanted in the first place. Bush knew the Extreme Right Wing of his party would not go for Miers in the first place. Do not think of anyone or anything except for a setup. Gee, poor guy, instead of Miers he had to go with Scalito, what a bummer huh? He had to go with a true Conserative in his and his bases own frame of mind. Don't feel for bush. Don't give his conservative base any accolades. In the end they will get just what they wanted, nothing more and nothing less and God help the rest of us.

Worst Administration in History What about the President?

We are finally hearing what most of us have known from the get go. that is that this will go down in our History as the worst run most corrupt administration in American History. As we all know, events are finally catching up to Bush Co. and should run them all over. Iraq fatalities are now over the top with no end in sight. This was also our first started war and under false pretences. Miers withdrawal from Judicial nomination was only the 2nd in 160 years without senate action, another big Bush goof in a list of many. With numerous questionable Presidential nominations and confirmation tactics and many republican leaders coming up dirty we have this in addition. Indictments faced by Karl Rove's, as we all know he is Bush's special council, top adviser, and chief strategist. Scooter Libby Cheney's Chief of Staff was just indicted on 5 counts including false statements, obstruction of Justice, and perjury and is subject to 30 years in jail. You know the guilt goes right to cheney and most likely beyond. Just a reminder that during an election campaign Bush pledged that he and his Administration would clean up washington and would do what is legally and morally right for the people. We now know he and his Administration will not do what is right for the people and will only do what is legally right if he is forced. He continues to mislead and indulge in Rove's 3D ( decietful, deceptive, divisive) Politics along with the rest of his Administration.

Update! A Little more time for the Apolitical Political Bush Base Closings

With the proposed base closings due to be a reality in mid November I thought it was time to just remind us all how crooked these closings were and still are. In light of what is happening right now with the Rove's investigation and implication of Cheney you know the President was involved and as in this situation nothing period gets done without his knowledge or okay and he knows the truth none of us ever will. Right from the get go we discussed the proposed Military base closings. In one of our discussions we talked about the fact that telling the public they had nothing at all to do with Politics was totally false and erroneous. Bush as we all know , does nothing at all unless it is part of his political game. So once again this master of deception was saying what we wanted to hear and playing his Political game. The facts right off the bat told us again the opposite of what he was saying. We all know this is standard fare for him. The States that came out in favor of him in the 2nd election did well with the proposed Base closings. The bases that came out against him took the biggest hits during the proposed closings. It didn't matter if the bases were exemplary or vital to our military mission. California took a big hit because rep0ublican Governor Arnold could not deliver the State for the President. Massachusetts took a hit for the same reason. Otis in Massachusetts is where the fighters that responded on 9/11 came from. It is one of the best reserve bases in the Nation. He wanted to put all our B1's in one place in his brother's State. That makes good sense. The Bible Belt States did well under the proposed closings. He said as far as he is concerned he thinks the proposals should be final. Political, naw! One and one still equals two as far as I know. There are many inequities in these proposals. Many we will never know unless some disgruntled individual comes forth with the truth. Regardless of what Mr say one thing and do another says. He keeps tight reign over what happens in his administration. That is precisely why it is so screwed up. Even though he would have us believe he has ne control over most of what happens in Washington and the Pentagon in particular, you know nothing can be further from the truth. As we all know he is a master political game player. It is his behind the back club to be used against anyone he percieves as having done him wrong. He does a lousy job of disguising this fact. In addition to all his inequities in his administration and in these proposals we can now add this one. Now we are hearing that the money supposedly saved from these closings was false. It was purposely contrived in order to inflate the supposed savings. Why should we be surprised to find the 9 member panel doing the investigation has found the savings inflated by 30 billion? How much did it cost us this time to find out we were lied to again? I know, just another little oversight. This is standard fare for this administration as we all know. As in all the other instances he will get away with this one too. Someone else's fault not mine, just another victem of circumstances. The poor picked on guy. He suffers from the Rodney Dangerfield Syndrome. He gets no respect. You have to wonder how deep the rot will go in this case too when the truth is eventually to some degree known and what if any the real savings after all was said and done really were.

Iran wants the Bomb, world muslim domination, anihilation of the West and Israel, and we aren't supposed to be concerned?

The first problem is that we now have Muslim hard liner and purveyor of Israel's and the West's total annihilation in control of very dangerous Iran, that of course is Mahmoud Ahmedinejad. Despite denials you can be guaranteed that he was involved in the 1979 armed takeover of the U.S. embassy in Tehran. As we all know, this resulted in the long term holding of American hostages. There was also an aborted failed rescue attempt and the Iran Contra scandal that marred President Reagan's Presidency. They covertly have nuclear weapons ambitions, are developing them, and are overtly denying everything. They are also advocating spreading nuclear technology to all Muslim Nations supposedly only for peaceful purposes. You can guarantee yourself that this so called peaceful use is for their so called peace and your destruction. Their desire is for a totally Muslim dominated world both strictly ruled and run. Iran's newspaper in a direct quote attributd to Irans President mahmoud Ahmedinejad says that we will soon experience a world without the U.S. and zionism. He is publicly calling for the total elimination of Israel another U.N. Nation and this is the first time in History. To top it all off we are told not to worry. I guess we are supposed to walk blissfuly and ignorantly to our inevitable deaths as the Jews did during WW2 before they realized what was in reality happening. We know what is happening so let us acknowledge it and act accordingly.

Falling oil prices Is this just another Bush created coincidence?

Gas prices are falling precipitously. Prices per barrel continue to go down. This is great but too convenient for masking Bush's created woes. Besides the fact that Iraq seems to be increasingly blown assunderby increasing insurgency while the administration claims things there are okay. You have to ask yourself this? Are the timely and convenient falling gas prices to cover falling Iraqi events and corruption in this administration which never quits. Now we have the knowledge that was at first denied and that is that CIA operative Plame's name came right from Cheney himself. I happen to believe the lies go right to the protected top, however, and we will once again never know the truth. Now we have to wonder about the timing of the conveniently falling fuel oil prices? Republicans say they get blamed for whatever good or bad happens in the country. That is true but deservedly so. You just can't trust anything they say or do. With that said you have to wonder about the timing of fuel oil prices falling just as the heat is turning up on the Administration higher than ever and guilt is pointing right to the top. Just another coincidence or another Bush created coincidence? This apppears only created to take the heat off Bush, the Administration, and the whole increasing plame blame name game and numerous other Administration inequities. October 19th and fuel oil is at a record 25 year low, just a timely coincidence? Today is October 24th and prices continue to fall sharply. Do you still think it's just a coincidence or another bush created coincidence?

Question of the day:What do you think about Bush and Cheney's guilt now?

We Blogged about this in the past but now we are finding that at least Cheney knew about Plame from the start as we thought.The obvious question comes to mind. As he reminds us daily of his failures, why do we not remind Bush daily of his two faced empty promises? He continues to get a very undeserved buy on all his inequities. More than 5 years of these obvious say one thing and do another lies and too much has been done to defile these words of reciprocity he mispoke. There were those of us who knew at the time that he was merely lying in order to get elected. Sadly enough the whole country is now finding out. He was and is not a man of his word but will say and do anything he has to in order to have his way. He would only serve to poison beyond repair the atmosphere in Washington also the entire country that he pledged to clean up. Unbelievably there were enough honest people that believed him and now wer'e all paying. Why is he not reminded of this lack of civility and reciprocity daily as he rubs in daily how ruthless, callous, and uncaring he really is. We are reminded that during an election campaign event he pledged that he and his Administration would not only do what was right legally but what was right by and for the people. We know that was a not too subtle dig at Clinton and Gore and all their verbal parsing of words. They were entry level compared to Bush and his Administration. We now know that he will not do what is right by the people and that he would only do what is right legally if his hand was forced. With all this in mind as you know, Bush is once again changing his standards in mid stream. This time to protect his teacher of 3D(decietful, decceptive, divisive, Politics Karl Rove's as he himself has been caught acting treasonous. Doesn't it make anyone wonder how much Bush and Cheney knew from the start? Maybe everyone is just afraid to find out the truth? Doesn't it bother you to find out just how underhanded Bush and cheney have been from the get go? If the brain (Roves) was bad, doesn't it tell you something about the body(BUSH and Cheney) ?

We know they need it but who is Rumsfeld to be Lecturing China?

With the recent news of Rumsfeld's visiting China and his lecture at China's Central Party School Training Center. Knowing his and this administrations history you have to ask yourself. Where does he or any other Bush official think they have the room to lecture on openness, democracy, and freedom while they are purposely killing ours? He told the audience that these values were the key to China's future. Does he forget the lessons him and this administration have been giving us? Look at what their so called values have done to the future of america and her middle Class backbone. I don't think China's future lies in those values. China has not been on a democratic path as he said. They have been on a path of learning how to use demcratic values to achieve their end of total Communist control. Nothing has changed in over 60 yearsof Communist control in China. They have merely learned how to play the democratic game as played by bush and his cronies. Only they are learning to play it even better. China merely knows what we have taught them and that is that honesty is not the best policy. The United States can not be relied upon as the worlds only super power. Last but not least hide, lie, cover up, and never tell the truth as to your true intentions and motivations. China does have major military plans in Globalizing their military and becoming world dominant with at least Russia by their side. We know this for fact unless we purposely choose to dummy up. It is a stupid game we play feigning curiosity to this fact or saying other countries are curious about it. We in the trenches of society aren't curious as to China'sU.S. funded plans, we know what they are. It is time for the games to stop and act accordingly.

Needed: Daily Reminders of Bush pledge 2000 Failings!

I read an article by Terry Neal regarding Bush's 2000 campaign pledge to clean up Washington's poisonous Political atmosphere. The obvious question comes to mind. As he reminds us daily of his failures, why do we not remind him daily of his two faced empty promises. He continues to get a very undeserved buy on all his inequities. more than 5 years of these obvious say one thing and do another lies and too much has been done to defile these words of reciprocity he mispoke.

The Criminalization of Politics has been Justified by Republicans since Monica Lewinsky

The Criminilization Of Politics was a well recieved Diary done this morning by Hunter. this is a well documented daily fact of Republican politics since Whitewater and President Clinton. With the advent of Lewinsky they began to be dirtier than ever. This period marked the beginning of Christian Fundamentalism being mainstreamed into our Political system and the feeling that you could say or do no wrong as long as you got your way. This thought has been finely honed by Bush and we all see it every day. Karl Rove's brand of 3D(decietful, divsive, deceptive) Politics has become the Republican flag to rally round. Politics will ignorantly continue to be the game of the day. Playing it though at a time of war and what is obvious to us out of Politics a time of great need for us should be treasonous. Regardless of what Bill Kristol or any other Republican advocate will asininely and childishly use as an excuse to justify it, there is no justification of it. We know the things that go on in politics today of which we know what Karl Rove's did is not the worst, would never have been excused during WW2. we have written about it many times in the past and Republicans particularly seem to continue this ignorance and thrive on it. We have got to start holding these people accountable for their treasonous ways. Without accountability it is only continuing and will not stop snowballing. These Republican children that insist on calling themselves politicians are destroying everything that has been right with America and only for their own selfish pleasure. They continue to cry foul whenever their is an investigation, a deposition, or a prosecution yet they continue with the criminal behavior and falsley accuse the Democrats of criminilization of our Political system while we all know it is them. They will never grow up and make believe they are adults unless we succeed in forcing them kicking and screaming foul like spoiled little pampered kids all the way.

Middle Class feeling pinch - Where have you been?

10/14/05 lou Dobbs program today highlights the fact that the Middle Class is being squeezed out. What he doesn't know is that this has got to happen. This is a necessary part of Bush's new plan for society. You will find this plan outlined in A Doctrine of Fact/Bush Uncovered. Right now inflation is at the highest rate its been in 25 years. A generation ago you could earn a Middle class lifestyle with one income. Today largely with Bush's help it now takes two. Gasoline, fuel oils, fruits, vegetables, medical costs, education, and all other essentials are sky rocketing. When adjusted for inflation American wages have fallen in September. So what is Bush bragging about beside the war on terrorism and the Iraq War you ask? He has given Airlines and rich Corperations regular breaks at you expense while making you feel thankful to him. He is tightening bankruptcy laws for you while keeping those for the rich intact. Thus taking away your last ditch effort to save yourself and making it even harder for you to start over. The Federal Reserve has raised interest rates 11 times making the money you have to borrow more expensive. Credit card companies supposedly with the Governments urging have raised minimum percentage rates and payments you have to make on your charge cards. All of this and much more is all for your own good according to Bush. It wouldn't be for the good of the Corperations, naw? Even as the cost of living sky rockets millions of Middle Class home owners may lose a key tax break. A white House panel is set to propose a major reduction in the amount of mortgage interest you may deduct from your taxes knocking you down even further. With a 4.1% cost of living increase for social security put into context with a 30% increase in home heating costs alone there is little talk in Washington on how to help the working class let alone the sick and retired. You have to ask yourself why are we reelecting these miscreants and what are they doing to earn it? I reiterate, these politicians do not work for you as we all know. They work for the special interest groups that get them elected.

Poll results: Bush again trends down Terrorist dedication trends up. This should not be news!

You know for a fact that as far as Bush and his supporters are concerned these and all negative poll results are worthless to the them. These results are beaten to death and are worthless to the cause of right and justice. He does not care what we the people think. He does not work for us. We did not elect him. He cares only about those that elected him. His core, those are the people to him not the average American. The fundamentalist, pro life, Christian right, and the Republican special interest groups are his only concern. They are his core, they got him elected, they are the future as far as he is concerned, and they are all that matter and his only concern. Not enough concerned average Americans have as of yet come out in numbers required to vote Republicans out of office. Until they do there will be no concern for them, their issues, concerns or their welfare. According to every new poll Bush, Cheney, and Rumsfeld, are all doing poorly in the minds of many Americans. Many people now think that muslim extremists are as committed to winning the war on terrorism as we are. We are waking up but Bush, Cheney, and Rummy, are not thought of as negatively as they should have been from the start. As I have been saying from the onset of this so called war on terrorism that we still do not have a clue as to what we are facing. They are far superior in numbers and in absolute dedication and committment to their cause than our so called leaders are willing to realize or smart enough to acknowledge. In Iraq, afghanistan, home, and abroad around the world, we are winning nothing as this is just getting started. We must realize this and that we are in this for the long haul and act accordingly taking as of yet not taken appropriate actions to take control of the situation.

Pro immigration, No Bias, just make the good of our Country your priority!

I cannot comprehend anyone feeling justified in using the racist card simply because someone expects the right thing done for everyone, starting with our own stability first as a foundation for our Nation. Without a foundation you have nothing to build on. Many of us have no bias, no Political persuasion. We merely expect the right thing done and it is not. It is not even a consideration today. What happened to doing the right thing for the sake of doing the right thing for the country, for society as was envisioned would be the case? Not for ones selfish interest as was feared would be the case at the time of the countries founding? We are not communist or segregationist because we expect rules to be followed. Rules and laws were made to protect the innocent not the guilty as they frequently are today. With one American Indian thrown in for good measure my own ancestors came off the boat and I am proud of my homogonized American heritage as many of you are. I am blogging on this location not because I am of European, South American, Asian, ar any other ancestry. Rather because I believe in the Democratic principles for everyone and am against the Republican, corrupt, Christian Fundamentalist, lack of principles being portrayed in the current Administration today. Making matters worse is the fact that I am a life long Christian myself who merely thinks everything should be kept in its proper place and perspective including Religion. If this is not the place to voice pro Democracy, Pro unity, pro society views, for the better of all our society I think it is time to form a site or someone please tell me of one where we can without bias put the country first. No selfish bias just the good of the Nation regardless of its ethnic or religious breakdown. Has Dailykos been hijacked for the pushing of a selfish personal agenda as our Religions increasingly seem to be? My original intention of setting up my web site, blogging, and taking daily polls, was to take the pulse of every day Americans in the trenches of society, make sure they are heard , and write about how they feel about what is happpening in this administration, the country, and the world today, and why. I want this to be the forum for those with no Political persuasion, no bias other than honesty and seeing the right thing done for our society, the country, and the world as a whole. If you could think this wrong then I humbly suggest you have selfish ulterior motives of your own and should put them in perspective.

Bush has succeeded-He has done a great job for Mexico!

Bush's required border insecurity and required illegal immigration comes with all the expected problems, and one unspoken accomplishment on the Presidents hidden agenda. His great achievment for Mexico was hidden under a growing list of Republican corruption and public ineptitude. Besides the one liner we have seen on this I myself have not heard any of the outrage we all should have heard and should be expressing. Aside from the traditional Boorder States with their overwhelming illegal immigration problems with Arizona and New Mexico finding it necessary to declare states of emergency. We have Virginia, Idaho, New Hampshire, Utah, and many more States speaking up as to the problems ensuing illegal immigration and the Governments ignorance of it. Common complaints being the ignorance of our laws, refusing to learn our language, the overwhelming of police forces, illegal business transactions, overburdeoning of schools, hospitals, and overuse of local public systems designed to help our needy that very often can not afford to because of the illegal immigration burden. We have not as of yet given the Presidents corrupt accomplishment any attention primarily since it is lost amid all the continuing Republican ineptitude and corruption. As of late we have had the John Roberts hearings followed by the Harriet Miers hearings, with a lot of Karl Rove's, Bill Frist, Tom Delay, and countless others thrown in for good measure. All thrown in only to push aside one to me mind blowing little fact. Mexico has President Bush to thank for their number one export and financial source being illegal immigration. Bush's illegal immigration has surpassed oil as Mexico's number one export replacing oil, that is unbelievable and unconscionable. President Bush needs the illegal immigrants for his version of a new society. However, he has through our back door accomplished what he declared as a goal some time ago and that was the raising of the Mexican economy and Mexico's lower class. Viva Bush must ring loud in Mexican ears. with NAFTA, CAFTA, and proposed plans for legalizing Illegal immigrants, Proposed visas, passports, licences and quotas etc. Bush appears to work for them not the U.S.

Bush once again Pulls out the Big Gun this time for Miers

His one positive Laura Bush is once again recruited in order to gain the peoples support for another one of his contentious proposals. Mrs. Bush erroniously suggest that the reason for not wanting Meirs may be sexism. Bush throws his publicly respected wife into the fray only to make the people cast doubt on their real reasons for being against her. Suggesting sexism is asinine when the majority would rather see a woman replace Sandra Day O'connor. It wouldn't have anything to do with her being a Fundamentalist hard right Christian would it? What about being a staunch conservative? How about being a Bush lap dog? Miers has never been a judge as we know and has an almost zero track record on which to judge her on. This in itself is appearing to be a desired trait Bush looks for. She was head of the Texas Bar Association. She was a Lawyer for his Gubenatorial Campaign. As is usual for Bush as a reward she was then promoted. She was chosen to head the Texas lottery Commission once he took office. First we as average citizens have to be very concerned every time he does as he once again is, saying trust me. Your first thought has to be oh no here we go again. He hasn't come through on anything yet that he has asked us to trust him on. Only for the fundamentalist and the rest of his supporters does he come thru. With her lack of a paper trail and experience one has to be very concerned that Bush himself has described her as a pit Bull. She's also been described as being able to slice and dice with the very best of them. She is too loyal to Bush which has proven to be a negative trait to the rest of us and much too inexperienced to be totally unbiased as we are told she will be. With the above stated traits being expressed from both sides of the aisle, her lack of experience, and her extreme required for promotion loyalty to Bush, both proponents and opponents Democrat and Republican are very concerned and rightly so. To finish off you dire need to be concerned is that the President went before the GOP and expressed to them that she is one of them. You can gain no solace from the conservatives expression of concern with Miers because Republican tactics dictate that this could just be a set up. With the GOP's proven track record you should be scared be very scared. Her only plus to most of us seems to be that she is a woman if that is a plus to you. Ed gillespie has been drilling her for preperation with the nomination questioning. The line of questioning is scary in itself. She must know John Robert's answers not her own and they must sound like his. She must also use her words but they must sound like Bush's. After hearing all the negatives that are supposed to be positives and now Mrs. Bush having to come out to attempt to sway the people you have to be more than a little concerned.

Evaluation of Oreilley's/Bush's Iraq War evaluation

First I have to say like many of you that I don't believe Bush realizes how to win the war on terrorism. More pointedly he does not have the wherewithal to lead the war on terror. It is too late to start to lead now or to gain support for his cause called Iraq that he has created and with his ineptitude insists on sustaining. Bush said that no act of ours invited the rage of the killers. we's right,It was years of percieved abuse of Muslims and their lands not just any one act. It was a myriad of percieved wrongs inflicted on their culture and lands. The only thing that would appease them is for us to get off what they think of as all Muslim land. Well intentioned in our minds or not we seem unable or unwilling to do that and only succeed in continuously worsening the situation. Oreilley was right in saying that most Americans were behind the war against terrorism after 9/11. I like many of you must say that this has not changed. It is Iraq and the inept way in which Bush chooses to prosecute it that we have a problem with. We must note that Afghanistan was going well as was noted, that was until Bush wrongly made Iraq a necessary part of the war on terrorism. Not only are we bogged down in Iraq but it is obvious that we are becoming increasingly bogged down in Afghanistan thanks to our increased need to put our attention on Iraq instead of Afghanistan where it should be. As Bush was trying to stress, it is right to reinforce the importance of the war on terrorism as it relates to the U.S. though not to our winning in Iraq. We must not and can not relent when it comes to securing our own country as the Islamists will never stop. Bill is right saying we are engaged in WW3 but wrong in saying we would have won by now if we had the cooperation of all Nations. His opinions merely highlight the fact that we still fail to realize the enormity of th Muslim anti western emotions and it is not held by a minority but a majority.
