Political Perusals
Wednesday, March 30, 2005
Few Americans know the truth about George W. Bush's "track-record" regarding the sanctity of human-life. During his tenure as Governor of Texas, he executed a total of 152 Death-Row inmates. His "executive-review" of these inmates executions was limited to a MERE 15 MINUTES EACH!! When questioned about this policy, he stated that he "trusted the decisions of the judicial system"..... Hardly the attitude exhibited in the recent Terry Schiavo case. Bush seems NOT to trust the decision of more-than 20 judges, and scores of doctors. His "Megalomania" and flagrant hubris make him believe that he is "above-the-law", and he totally ignores constitutional issues that have been the "rules-of-law" for many years. His arch-ally, Tom DeLay, has a record of corruption that has never been seen in our Senate. A business-partner and legal-consultant of DeLay is now being indicted for the "fleecing" of a Native American Tribe. This crook,( whose name escapes me) was paid to help close their casino, by "Fundamental-Christian" groups. He THEN took millions from the tribe, to lobby to get them re-opened. De Lay, himself, is being indicted in Texas for the illegal use of campaign-funds. Where is "Frontier-Justice"??? Tom DeLay should be "Strung-up-from the-nearest tree"!!! NOT CONTROLLING THE U.S. SENATE!!!!!!
Terry Schiavo continues to linger between death and a "constant-vegetative-state". This has given the "Right-Wing Bottom-Feeders" to posture, plead, and issue carefully-crafted "sound-bites". The most recent of these low-lifes is the Reverend Jesse Jackson. It seems that he NEVER misses any opportunity to seek the media-spotlight. In a matter that SHOULD be private, and determined by the Justice-system; Jesse Jackson's last-minute appearance has done nothing but gain publicity for himself. The situation of Terry Schiavo is one that confronts thousands of Americans every year; yet it has NOT been an issue, until the "Neo-Cons" decided that they could use it for political-gain... linking it to vague "Right-To-Life" statements, and the debate on abortion. If Terry Schiavo had been "African-American", "Hispanic", or "Asian" we would NEVER have seen such politicalization... A young,"White", attractive Female has more media-capitol than some decrepit 90-year-old; and we NEVER hear about them!! The depths to-which these "Right-To-Life" neo-Cons will descend is DISGUSTING!! No less than 19 judges have ruled that Michael Schiavo has the authority to determine his wife's medical care, and terms of her "passing". STILL the Republican Congress has ILLEGALLY interferred in the Judicial process; ANOTHER case of their disregard for the "Balance-Of-Powers" GUARANTEED by our Founding-Fathers and our Constitution!! If you are NOT outraged, then you are not paying-attention!!! This is nothing more than a Power-play by Republicans to manipulate our courts and install so-called "sympathetic" judges (Read: judges who agree with their fascist, ultra-conservative, and corrupt agendas... Those that favor corporate special-interests and lobbyists, NOT "average" Americans) This entire incident "MAKES ME WANT TO PUKE!!!"..........Dave

The "Neo-Cons" level of hypocrasy has reached an "all-time" high. The recent developments surrounding Terri Schiavo have graphically illustrated the "Moron-Majority's" contempt for REAL human values and quality-of-life. Republican Bill Frist was secretly recorded, a few days ago, speaking to his mindless-pundits. He said that the Terri Schiavo incident was a "Great opportunity" for Republicans to gain "moral-High-ground", and put more of "their" select judges into power. Such posturing is DISGUSTING!! The Schindlers and Michael Schiavo have suffered for 15 years in what should be a "private" " personal" decision.... not one which is paraded endlessly in from of media-cameras for political gain!!! Republican 'Talking-Sphinctor": Sean Hannity, recently claimed that a "Nobel-Prize-nominated" doctor had said that Terri Schaivo was NOT in a "constant-vegatative-state".... THIS IS A LIE!!! THE DOCTOR IN QUESTION WAS NEVER NOMINATED FOR A "NOBEL-PRIZE", NEVER PERFORMED NEUROLOGICAL-TESTS, AND BASED HIS OPINION ON A 20-MINUTE HOSPITAL-VISIT . THIS DOCTOR'S "EXPERT-OPINION" IS CONTRADICTED BY SCORES OF DOCTORS WHO HAVE PERFORMED VOLUMES OF TESTS, SCANS, AND EXAMINATIONS!! Some minister who has been an "activist" against abortions has now taken EVERY opportunity to make "statements" for T.V. cameras, linking the sad plight of the Schiavos to the abortion-debate. Where were these "Right-To-Life" advocates when Bush set an all-time record for "Death-Row-Executions"??? Where were these 'Right-to-Life" advocates when Bush's-War MURDERED 50,000 Iraqi CIVILIANS??? These MORONS object to the use of "Embryonic-stem-cells", on the grounds that they are "Life". These stem-cells are SO small, that they can only be seen when magnified 300 times; at which time they are STILL smaller than the head of a pin!!! These stem-cells can be used to treat and cure REAL, LIVING PEOPLE who suffer EVERY DAY ! The "Righ-To-Lifers" would rather "protect" these un-defined clusters of cells; which , if not used, will be destroyed!! They would rather 'Carpet-Bomb" Iraqi children; in some vague reference to a "War on Terror". They call such war-crimes "collateral-damage", in an attempt to de-humanize it. They take a "Moral-High-Ground" with the LEAST moral conduct imaginable! God said: "Thou shalt NOT KILL".... NOT: "It's O.K., as long as YOU KILL MUSLIMS"!!!! Such arrogance is reminiscent of the "Crusades" of the Middle-Ages!!! It's NO-WONDER that Muslim-extremists can EASILY recruit martyrs!!! An estimated 8 million people die every year as the direct results of poverty.... Where are the "Right-To-Lifers" in THIS issue??? Terri Schiavo, sadly, died slowly over the last 15 years. Her body still remains; ARTIFICIALLY kept minimally-functioning with machines. THIS IS NOT HUMAN "LIFE"!!! It is REPREHENSIBLE, AND SICKENING for Republicans to use this issue for political-gain!! Where are the "Right-To-Lifers" when it comes to protecting the 1500 American soldiers, who have died as the result of the LIES, DECEPTION, AND HUBRIS of the George W. Bush??? .... Democrats have remained virtually-silent; fearing being labeled "Murderers" in the next election. The Republicans claims of "Family-Values" is nothing but a LIE!! MY "Family-Values" DO NOT include things like: "lies, greed, corruption, war-profiteering, hubris, megalomania, slander, and the exection of MORE "death-Row" criminals than ANY GOVERNOR IN AMERICAN HISTORY!!!! How can SO many Americans believe the lies of this administration?? Bush's recent "Budget-Bill" sneaked in provisions for tax-cuts for "Capital-Gains", "Dividends", and "Social-Security payments made by the most-wealthy"..... MORE money for ONLY the "wealthy".... How many "middle-Class" Americans EVER make money from "Capital-Gains", or "dividends"??? The Republicans have taken-over our government with lies, fabrication, bribes, loop-holes, and control of the media. Bush is NO better than many of the dictators, and despots that he claims to despise. ("Evil-Empire")???? He is simply more sly and secretive. The Bush administration is THE MOST secretive administration in American-history. They have issued MORE "classified" documents, held more "secret-policy-meetings", and told more LIES than most governments in human history!!....We CANNOT allow this to continue!! The truth MUST be told!! It is YOUR responsibility to tell everyone that you can, read everything that you can get, and examine the REAL stories proclaimed by the "Neo-Con" talking-heads. ........

Today, a U.P.I. report surfaced which casts SERIOUS doubts on the "Capture" of Saddam Hussein. As previously reported in the Iraqi network Al Media, a Kurdish soldier has claimed that Hussein was ACTUALLY captured a day before the well-aired photos of him surrendering to American troops from his "Spider-hole". The Al Media report claims that Saddam was actually captured by Kurdish troops the day before, in a "modest" home then turned over to Americans for the reward. It also claims that Saddam's groggy, and confused condition in the "American-capture" was the result of him "being-drugged". It makes one wonder, why he was hiding in an underground bunker which could ONLY be opened from the outside!! If this is true, it would seems that the American-T.V. version of his "capture" was nothing more than another carefully-scripted media-event.... much like the FOX T.V. broadcast of pulling-down Saddam's statue, or the ficticious "rescue" of Jessica Fox. THE MEDIUM IS THE MESSAGE!! and the "spin-doctors" are hard at work to put a "positive-face" on this illegal war. Watch for more about this to surface in the coming days....Dave

New Mexico's State Senate, yesterday pass a bill which "defined marriage" as a "union between a man and a woman". Apparently, the State is now prepared to establish a "Bureau of Gender Identification"; an inspector to determine the of many "Gender-non-specific and trans-gender" citizens. ...... "O.K., Drop-trousers.... Let's see what youv'e got!" State Senators are SO stupid, that they have now taken on the responsibility of determining just WHAT constitutes a "Man" or "woman". Recently, a "Trans-Gender" individual in New Mexico had a marriage-license nullified by the courts. It seems that these people need a few lessons in biology and "sex-education". Certain people are BORN with genitalia which resembles BOTH sexes... Some Lesbians "look more like a man", than I do!! "Cross-dressers" APPEAR to be women, but have male "equipment". Do we know have to hire a "Gender-Determination-Inspector"???? And is this ANOTHER part of the "Patriot-Act"??? Dave

"George-The-Lesser; Pretender-to-the-throne, and King that wouldst be", is travelling the country... trying to scare Americans into believing that Social Security needs to be "reformed". (Read: "gutted", "eviscerated", " pillaged", "vandalized", and "raided" by Wall-Street thieves.) Still avoiding his REAL job, (running the country, administering the war, and balancing the budget) , He has again resorted to the "same-old" scare-tactics of old. Remember when we were told: "If Kerry gets elected, America will be attacked by terrorists again!!" (Although Al Jazeera T.V. has frequently quoted Al Queda's Zarkawi as PREFERING Bush as president, in order to further their Jihad) Lies and distortions of facts and figures are repeated "ad-nauseum"; to intimidate and frighten Americans into allowing "investment-bankers" and "fund-managers" access to the Social-Security fund. "If you tell a lie LOUD enough and OFTEN enough, people will believe anything you tell them!!" Bush/ Cheney/ Rove and Co. have even pressured Alan Greenspan to make public statements encouraging "reform".... with NO specific details of any "Plan". Have ANY of Bush's fiscal predictions EVER been correct?? This "fiscal-conservative" has bankrupted our economy; borrowed BILLIONS to pay for an endless, un-necessary war; given tax-cuts to the "very-rich"; allowed "out-sourcing" of millions of American jobs; threatened our environment with favors to corporate-polluters; and now wants to gamble or Social-Security system on vague promises of future "gains"!!! There is a "bumper-sticker" circulating America that "says it all": It reads: GOT FEAR?............. About 10 years ago, I invested a meager amount in a "low-risk" Mutual Fund. Under the Bush Administration, my fund has LOST nearly half of it's value; I would have made more interest by putting it in a SAVINGS ACCOUNT!!! Bush's un-defined plans do NOTHING to address the enormous debt that he has amassed, borrowing against the Social-Security Fund. Projected "Transition" costs are in the TRILLIONS; and "administrative" fees of such private investments often range from 20 to 30% !!!! The projected "shortfalls" in the fund can EASILY be corrected with small corrective changes. Raising the "caps" on income to make ALL tax-payers contribute will EASILY make it "solvent". Every "recognized" expert on the Social Security System, and nearly all economic-experts agree that such "privatization" is risky, and NOT a "sure-thing". Where is the "track-record" of Bush's "wonderful" fiscal achievements??? Republican "Talking-Heads" often try to shift the economic-blame to Bill Clinton.... "The Wall Street "crash" BEGAN under HIS administration"!! The same argument might be used to blame Bush: "Wall Street investors KNEW Bush was coming into office, hence the "crash"!!!!! In the latest episodes of "Iraqi-Chaos", an Italian? journalist and her intelligence-officer were today attacked by "Friendly-Fire".. Just WHAT IN THE HELL IS "FRIENDLY-FIRE"???? "GEE, I'M SORRY THAT I KILLED YOU???" "I WAS SMILING WHEN I BLEW-UP YOUR CAR"??? "HAVE A NICE DAY; BEFORE I KILL YOU"???? MAYBE JUST USING BULLETS WITH LITTLE "SMILY-FACES" ON THEM!!! Another instance of attrocities against Iraqi prisoners has surfaced. At a prison called "the Salt-Cave", a prisoner was stripped-naked and chained outdoors until he died of hypothermia. (By the C.I.A.) Anybody hear about this on "Mainstream-Media"??? I thought not.... ESPECIALLY FOX NEWS!! The incompetance, and blind-stupidity of this administration is without precedent. The only thing that they are GOOD at, is "lining-the-pockets" of their corporate-contributors and friends. If you have ever seen or read a good mystery, the most important "clues" to the crime are usually the trail of money. The "trail-of-money" that starts at the White House leads DIRECTLY to gas & oil companies, pharmaceutical companies, investment-bankers, and weapons-manufacturers. Having looted the ENTIRE FEDERAL BUDGET-SURPLUS, Bush is now seeking to "spin" our Social-Security Fund into the hands of his investment-banker-buddies. SHOW ME THE MONEY!!!!! SHOW ME THE MONEY!!!

Greetings! The Michael Jackson "child-molestation" trail began yesterday. In a last-ditch, desperate attempt to save himself, Jackson declared that he had "Become a Republican". It seems that he had heard something about "Leaving no child's behind"...... Our "doofus-in-chief" is traveling Europe; reciting the "same-old-shit", he is attempting to establish "democracy" at the barrel of a gun. I guess that being a "Born-Again-Christian", he has a "different" set of "Ten Commandments"... It's O.K. to KILL, as long as it's in a "Pre-emptive" attack with "Shock & Awe", with vaguely defined "objectives", and in defense of Neo-Con "Democracy". ........ "One Nation, Under surveilance, with Liberty and Justice for NONE"! In a country that was founded to protect the "Freedom of Religion", Bush has decided that "Fundamental-Christianity" is the ONLY religion that needs protection! Bush is SO stupid, that he thinks "Being short-sighted"; means that somebody NEEDS GLASSES! His wanton disregard for our environment was AGAIN an issue in the Wall Street Journal. Citing one "Environmental Health Perspectives", the Wall Street Journal today said that "Mercury exposure lowers I.Q. levels and costs the U.S. $87 BILLION a year in lost pay-potential". These mercury levels are DIRECTLY linked to the dirty, coal-fired power-plants which spew heavy-metals into the air. I suppose that "lower I.Q.s" are a GOOD thing for the Republicans; they count on the "Moron-Majority" to stay un-informed, illerate, and "out-of-touch" in order to maintain their grip on the country. Stupid people ARE George's constituency!! How little has been mentioned in the corporate-controlled "Mainstream" media about that "Washington correspondant" who acted as a "ringer" at White House Press conferences... A $50.00 seminar at a Neo-Con "Media Journalism school" gets front-row seats at a carefully-staged "Press-Conferance".... to deliver "soft", pre-screened questions to the "Puppet-King". Questions asked by a former "Gay-Escort" with AN ASSUMED NAME!!! Makes one feel SO confident in "Homeland Security", that a "ringer" with an "alias" can get White House press-credentials!! It reminds me of the carefully-staged Bush & Cheney appearances before the elections.... Carefully-screened "Republican-faithful" were POSED in front of the candidates to show "support" and ask "NO-BRAINER" questions which Cheney & Bush could "answer" with carefully-prepared statements. I used to think that the President & our Government were "employees" of the people!! How naive I was! Our Government is merely the military-tool of corporate "special-interests"; who have now "gutted" our economy, despoiled our planet, and lined-the-pockets of corporate "fat-cats". Bush's attempts to "reform Social Security" is just another attempt to feed-the-greed of those who arranged the election. Having TOTALLY depleted our nation's Budget-Surplus, Bush now wants to divert Social-Security funds to Wall-Street "fund-managers" and corporations; promising vague future investment-gains, and IGNORING the costs of administrating such a program. ALL such "privatization" programs have historically been dismal FAILURES!! Still, Bush and his "Talking-Heads" promote it, using their-own hazy statistics. HAVE ANY OF BUSH'S FISCAL-POLICY PROJECTIONS EVER BEEN ACCURATE???? Remember the "prescription-Drug-benefits-plan"? It eventually cost 2 & 1/2 times the "projected" ammount. Remeber the Iraq-War? It was supposed to be "paid-for with Iraqi oil-revenues"! Our nation's "Budget-Deficit" is now at MORE THAN $400 BILLION!!!! Yet the "Neo-Cons" enacted the ONLY tax-cut-(during a time of war) in History!! These "Neo-Cons" who LIED when the claimed to be "Fiscally-conservative". They are Fiscally-conservative ONLY with their own money; and will DO ANYTHING TO GET YOURS AND MINE!! go to: www.votetoimpeach.org
