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.

The Reality is there is no helping African nation's

News flash! Africa immigrants lay siege to fortress Europe. President Thabo Mbeki accuses the countries of having the wherewithal but not the sufficient will to end poverty in Africa. Mbeki contends that African immigrants are reluctant invaders of Europe. The New Partnership for Africa's Development(NPAD) argue that it is possible to establish an african European partnership to erradicate poverty, underdevelopment, and poor Governance in Afrika. the argument is that this would keep African's from heading north a knocking at Europes door. This is what african leaders will want you to believe. This however is not to be a reality in Africa. they have no need to exist beyond a subsistance level and that is the problem in a strained environment.
Let us just take a minute and talk reality. Hopefully with the result of putting the African situation its proper perspective. We are hearing that there are 12 million people Niger alone that are faced with starvation. This alone is overwhelming and we are not going to be able to do Justice to all the African countries with problems. According to the U.N. and their old answer ways the reason for the starvation problem in Africa is due primarily to the fact that there was a poor rainy season that has led to wide spread infestation to its crops and grazing lands. this is true but? The U.N. wrongly feels that famine could have been avoided if the world had paid attention to its warnings. They could solve their own problems if they were willing to implement the tools to accomplish it. Their very lifestyle is their enemy in times of hardship. They must move away from an agrarian based society as we did 250 years ago or they will never be able to help themselves and they never will.
Since time in memorium the muslims have never been interested in working to get ahead and gain materiality and independence. That as we know is the western mentallity not that of an average muslim. They are interested in subsistence and feeding themselves only. We have been trying to help them for years and we can continue to help them until the end of time with no improvement in their plight. Africans merely want to survive as we know is the majority of the Muslims way. If we continue to help them they will let us and nothing will ever change. This seems cold I know. However they are living in an area that can not sustain them as it is. They to date appear to be unwilling to pay the price and build an infrastructure of support but expect everyone else to somehow do it. We can spend trillions every year to feed and support them and the need will never be met. They must change their attitude of susistence level living or be allowed to go the natural way of existence. Nature takes care of those that take care of themselves. If you are unable or in this case unwilling to help yourselves the natural course of events is extinction. Somehow our goal must be to get these people to realize this.
They must get their collective thoughts away from thoughts of mere existence. They must start thinking of productivity and furthering their own cause as a people and a Continent beyond mere existence. As we know in regards to Aghanistan and most Muslims in general they are content with living off the land with no modern amenities as we all know. As long as they insist on this they will never be able to survive natural defficiencies or come into the western ways willingly or easily. thus the U.N.'s and soth African President Thabo Mbeki is off the mark and, will never bear fruit, and will just be another waste of effort time and money.

A Fundamentelist Christian Crusaders Dilemma

I have been saying for quite a while now that Bush thinks of himself as a Christian Crusader. Without him even admitting it even though it has been refuted as you would expect it to be along with all the rest of his verbal inequities. It has been obvious for years that he thinks of himself as a Christian Crusader. He feels it is his God given right to interfere in every Muslim country he can and try to change their politics and country structure to fit his idea. Now he has had the audacity to confess to senior Palestinian leaders that God told him to invade Iraq and Afghanistan. he made this claim to Prime minister Mahmoud Abbas and his foreign minister in a 2003 meeting. He also claimed that God told him to straighten out all the Middle Easts problems. He will instead merely succeed in bringing them all to a head with the exact opposite result of which he is wrong headedly expecting. As I said he has thought of himself as a Christian Crusader on a mission from God. Now we are also hearing that he believes Iraq is a divine mission. Now he is crazy enough to put these facts out to the world mistakenly or otherwise. He is very dangerous to world stability as we all know. The same palestinian Official also claims that Bush claims to be on a first name basis with God. He also claimed that God guided him in the Iraq war. This guy really does have some serious mental issues. The problem with this christian Crusader is that most of us do not feel that way. Instead we are all being dragged along for the ill fated ride. Of course you know that all the above statements as in verything else Bush wrongly says and does has been denied by White House spokesmen. Open mouth and insert foot and and the White House spokesmen will attempt o remove it. As we have said in the past, wheher it is Christianity, Judaism, or Islam, extreme religiousity is the most dangerous thing in the world. this is especially true in the hands of someone as powerful and influential a position as the President.

We continue to be Bushwacked!!

News Flash! Bush rejects critics. Says he sees more sacrifice ahead. No kidding, if he only had a clue as to just how much even he would shrink. He proudly declared that we have foiled 10 AlQuaeda plots since 9/11. So what big deal. It's the many under way we have to be concerned about. We are still an accident waiting to happen. Once again thanks to inept security plans not
the least is our purposely insecure borders we are no better off than we were on 9/11 although we are made to believe we are. Bush also broke the old news that the militants are looking to set up a a Empire in the Middle East under strict Muslim Law. He again recites the now tiring statement that the U.S. will not tire or waiver. It is getting old because he continues to say how good it is going and we see otherwise, this is a long, long haul and we will win. He just makes it harder to bear with his and his administrations constant misassesments and constant backpeddling. They change your mind like you change your oh never mind. He will only succeed in digging us in deeper. He refuses to realize that even war requires some finesse. He will have us in debt to our ears broke and in major debt mostly unnecessarily but we will win. He continues to daily, insult our intelligence. the President stupidly argued against cutting our losses and leaving Iraq by unwittingly pointing out a problem of his own creation. He asked if we thought the U.S. would be less safe or more safe with Zarqawi or bin Laden in control of Iraq, its people, and its resources? That's a scary scenario. No kidding it is and we have him to thank for it. We would have been better off with saddam in many respects. He at least kept any insurgency at bay. This entire Iraq problem and the now necessary war on terrorism in Iraq is his fault and creation. He rediculously says that Iraq is not boosting the war on terrorism. Who is he kidding besides himself.? He will never admit that Iraq is just one more of his endless stupid endless mistakes. We are finding now that Rummy misled us as we thought he did as to Iraqi troop strength and preperation. We now know there is only one battle ready Battalion of Iraqi troops not three as we were led to believe. Right, there getting better prepared to take on their own security. From our security they seem to be getting killed as fast as they are trained. you have to wonder just how better off the Iraqi's are? I wonder how many Iraqi's Saddam killed on an average day compared to how many Bush is killing with his creation of insurgency and his created war now necessary to the war on terrorism?

With Miers We have Bipartisanship well sort of

With merit and deservedly so, nothing Bush does and no decision he makes goes without extreme contention. As we all know this also applies to his recent nomination of Harriet Miers to replace Sandra Day Occonor as Supreme court justice. she 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 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 aand the rest of his supporters does he come thru. With her lack of a 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 oponents Democrat and Republican are very concerned and rightly so. To finish off your dire need to be concerned is that the President went before the GOP and expressed to them that she is one of them. With their proven track record you should be scared be very scared.

The Reality is a left Wing Counter conspiracy to a Right Wing Conspiracy

Once again the Republicans are cryng foul for being held accountable for their immorality and corruptive ineptitude. As we all experience, the wrong doing say one thing do another deny, deny, deny and crying foul when caught is an everyday event in this Administration. Now we have Tom Delay as just another Republican voice claiming a vast left wing conspiracy in his indictment on money laundering charges. It is a left wing conspiracy but what they will deny is that it is in response to a vast right wing conspiracy and is an appropriate action. They cry foul loud and often hoping to turn everything against the Democrats and get away with their continued injustices as they have in the past. They cried foul when Democratic interests said they allowed 9/11 to happen on their guard. Then we have the 9/11 commission that was supposedly unbiased and honest assesment that by its very finding being that no one was at fault proved to be totally Political and totally misleading. This was proven by the fact of Operation Able Danger that foreclosed the Commission at least knew in advance, of Mohammed Attah and 4 other hijackers well in advance of 9/11. chose to ignore it and then tried to lie about it. Then there was the misleading of facts in order to justify going to war with Iraq, an act we thought was predetermined but as usual was denied. This too was proved to be a lie with the disclosure of the Downing street Memo foreclosing a predetermination of going into Iraq. This was followed by the nomination of John Bolton for U.N. Ambassador with more charges of a conspiracy against him and anyone the President was for. Again they cried foul wrongly loudly and often. This was followed by Karl Rove's caught uncovering a CIA agent as a covert operator and then denying it. This as you know is still under investigation and like Bush, he will not be held accountable in the end. This was followed by the sorry response to katrina with the rediculous explanation of the sad response being that you could not predisposition troops and supplies in harms way. This was followed almost immediately by Rita which just happened to be in a Republican State and we found we could predisposition troops and supplies in harms way and still not be able to handle the situation. Now we have Senator Frist facing charges of wrong doing in a well timed sale of stock again a Democratic conspiracy charged with all wrong doing of course denied again. These as we all know are not mere coincidences and happen much too frequently for comfort and these are without a doubt not all of them and we can be sure many have been gotten away with at least to date. We still have our allowed and necessary illegal immigration and Border insecurity. I'm sure there are many inequities and wrong doings I have overlooked and this is sickening alone in its frequency and denial. When are we going to smarten up as an elective body and act accordingly?

They continue to do the wrong thing & cry foul when held Accountable

This is just unbelievable to me. Tery Hoyt a Republican lobbyist says that at the moment Katrina touched down that the Cogressional agenda changed. I like you find this unbelievable and just don't get it. He says that there is not a lot of work to do at the end of the Congressional year. Why should the end of the year be any different than the beginnning or the middle? They have not done anything productive at all for the average citizen or the country as a whole since his reelection. That is unless you think of the betterment of the affluent and the fudamentalist Christian right as an accomplishment? That is unless you consider the continued worsening of the plight of legal average americans a great success? That is unless you consider border insecurity, allowed illegal immigration, and the funding of this with the taxes of the lower classes a great accomplishment? That is if you consider the constant ignorance of the average citizens work not his supporters work an accomplishment? That is unless you consider the continued and proven lack of adequate response to catastrophes thus also future terrorist attacks a great accomplishment? We have proven that we cannot adequately protect citizens when we are prepared for it never mind from a surprise attack. It is time the Administration leveled with the people and made them aware that in the case of another attack you are on your own, act responsibly, and be aware that you stand a realistic chance of becoming a statistic. It is time to be honest and stop trying to give people false hopes and then constantly and relentlessly coming up short looking stupid and then dashing those hopes. Just what have they done for the average citizen or the country as a whole anyway? Whenever they are attempted to be held accountable they loudly and ignorantly cry foul. They are the criminals and they now are claiming that Democrats have criminalized Politics. Only the Republicans particularly under this administration can knowingly act immoraly and claim to have right on their side and not have accomplished a thing while claiming to have done a good job. We can not take any more of this immoral Politics and survive as a country. This must stop.

The Bush pandemic will be much worse than the bird flu pandemic

As you know we have many concerns in todays increasingly unstable and complicated world. Without concerning ourselves with the dire prospects of Aids we must think about the following. We have the Islamist Jihad spreading around the world. We have the prospects of the spreading of nuclear technology throughout the Islamic world. This of course is not to speak of global positioning for another world war. Now we have warnings of an expected flu pandemic that experts believe could kill up to 150 miillion people. This pandemic is epected anytime.I want to pose this to you since I am sure no one has looked at the current situation in the country and the world in this light.
We are in the midst of a much worse and more widespread pandemic as we speak. President Bush has set in motion purposely the worst pandemic in the history of mankind. With a pandemic being the wide spread out break of disease. A disease as you might not know has nothing to do with a micro organism as many might think. A disease is the alteration of a living body that impairs its functioning. This is exactly what President Bush is to the living bodyof the U.S. and of world order as we know it. His goal is to restructure society, Government, and world order to fit his idea of a new world order. He has upset the natural order of things and has outsourced his 3D destructive Politics around the world. The result will be total world chaos resulting in the death of whole societies and people. The end result will be a pandamic like man and the planet has never known. End result will make the expected bird flu pandemic look small. This is what the world has to worry about more than any of the myriad of horriffic possibilities facing our future survival.
