Political Perusals

The "Neo-Con", "Right-Wing", Republican "base" frequently expresses it's un-dying love & admiration for former president Ronald Reagan. I take this opportunity to remind readers, that Ronald Reagan not only brought us un-bridled military spending & build-up.. (Remember the "Star-Wars" "white-Elephant"?? ); but he ALSO created AL Queda!!! His support of and his covert supply of the Taliban and Osama BinLadin's Afghan fighters was the beginnining of what is now known as Al Queda. In Reagan's feverish quest to "defeat communism", he took the stance that "Any enemy of my enemy, is my friend"....supplying vast quantities of weapons, money and training to Afghan fighters who were then fighting Russia. These same American-trained and funded forces are now waging "Jihad" against America; with Osama Bin Ladin's direction and inspiration. Ronald Reagan's only "claim-to-fame", i.e. "His legacy", is the collaspe of the Soviet Union.... for which he often took full credit. In truth, the Soviet Union collapsed "of it's own weight"; Ronald Reagan just "happened" to be "at the right place & time". The Soviet Union was bankrupt; unable to support it's arms-race and feed it's people at the same time. Reagan, being "The Great Communicator", merely took credit for that which was inevitable. The next time a Republican starts praising Ronald Reagan, simply remind them that Reagan was responsible for the funding & creation of the Taliban and AlQueda.......................
The Washington Post article of 02/24/ 06 is titled: "Lobbyist Writes of a Dozen Bush Encounters". It details how indicted lobbyist jack Abramoff wrote in an e-mail to one Kim Eisler of the "Washingtonian", last month; Abramoff states: Bush "Has one of the best memories of any politician I have ever met", and stated that "The guys saw me in almost a dozen settings, and joked with me about a bunch of things, including details of my kids". He also states that he, (Abramaoff) had been invited to the Crawford Texas ranch in the summer of 2003. There are AT least 5 photographs of Bush WITH Abramoff, yet the White House has sucessfully squelched their publication. Jack Abramoff also served as the head of the "Transition-Team" for the Bush administration early in 2001. STILL George W. (Lying-Ass) Bush has the nerve to pubically pronounce the he had "Never met the man".... "Don't know him"!!!!!! If Bill Clinton can be impeached for ONE lie about his sex-life, why can't Bush be impeached for his ENDLESS stream of lies??? W.M.Ds??.... LIES!; Saddam's connection to Al Queda?..... LIES! His promise to "balance the Budget"?...........LIES!, His claim to use military-force as a "last-option"?.......LIES!!!!!His knowledge of the recent "Harbor-sale" to the United Arab Emirates?.........LIES!!!! (He first stated that there was NO problem with the sale; the next day, he said that he didn't know anything about it!!)............LIES!!!! The Bush administration has"Classified" more documents than EVERY administration in American history!! WHAT ARE THEY HIDING?????....................LIES!!!!!!!!

"Power always has to be kept in check; Power exercised in secret, especially under the cloak of national security, is doubly dangerous"...........................................A quote from the esteemed Senator William Proxmire of Wisconsin.

It "boggles" the mind... George W. has made the most FLAGRANTLY CORRUPT move by any president in history. His recent attempt to "outsource" the operations of six major American seaports to a company OWNED by The United Arab Emirates is being defended by "Dubyuh"; saying that we shouldn't mis-trust them " because they are Muslims"; and that they have been an "ally in the war on terror"!!! This is the SAME country from which two of the "9-11" hijackers were citizens, this is the SAME country WHICH BLOCKED AMERICA'S EFFORTS TO TRACK AL QUEDA AND OTHER TERRORIST GROUP'S FINANCIAL TRANSACTIONS!! This is the same country which is intimately connected to the notorious Carlisle Group; dealing arms and oil with the Bush-crime-family, and the Bin Ladins!!! This country was involved in the trafficking of nuclear-weapons technology to Libya, and Iran!!! The "P.O.T.U.S." has threatened to "vetoe" any Congressional attempt to block this "outsourcing", although this has potentially catastrophic consequences, and is opposed by a majority of Democrats and Republicans alike!! Bush wants us "to trust" him and his "judgement"!!! SINCE WHEN HAS HE EVER EXHIBITED "JUDGEMENT"?? To date, he has FAILED to "balance the budget", he has FAILED to wage his "war on terror", he has FAILED to administer the rescue and rebuilding of New Orleans, etc...... NOT ONCE in his five-year tenure, has he "Vetoed" a bill in Congress; and now he threatens to do so, to "sell-out" the safety of America's shipping industries to a potentially dangerous Arab nation!! Since the Republicans have "Privatized" many of the operations of our military, these seaports are often the life-blood of any operations conducted in a time-of-war. Access to these harbors, and the intimate details of their operations is strategic knowledge which MUST not be obtained by terrorists! ; yet "Dubyuh-dumb-ass" tells us "To trust him"!!!! This is the MOST dangerously incompetant and corrupt act by this administration yet!! (by the way, one of Bush's cabinet members... entrusted to investigate the "safety" of this deal, IS THE FORMER "C.E.O." OF THE "C.S.X." shipping company which stands to gain from the sale of these harbor-operations!!!) It sounds a lot like Cheney's little "deal" with Halliburton!!! (Which is also being kept "secret",....... "executive-priveledge" you know!!!) These bastards will sell ANYTHING, TO ANYBODY!!! as long as their "special-interests" get their share!! When are Americans going to "wake-up" and "smell the coffee"??? When is this president and his gang of thieves going to be arrested and shipped off to Guantanamo? How about serving his "term" in a Federal Penitentiary?? Can we still use "tar & feathers"?? I've got a rope!!!!! Dave

During a quail-hunt in southern Texas, Dick Cheney managed to shoot another hunter; a lawyer, who suffered "minor injuries" to his face & chest. One doubts that THIS episode will be prominently featured in future N.R.A. articles or photos. (as many Cheney/ N.R.A. photos have been seen) A local T.V. station stated that Dick Cheney had "shot an elderly man" during the hunt.... Perhaps this is the newest method of Republican's reform of Social Security...... JUST SHOOT THE "ELDERLY"!!! Maybe we should all be glad; after all, it WAS a TEXAS LAWYER!!! (not a big loss) C.B.S. news, today aired reports of a company hired for "Iraqi-reconstruction" who had bilked, stolen , and falsely-billed our government for MILLIONS; sometimes using "ficticious", non-existant companies to defraud American tax-payers. In one instance, they "Billed" the U.S. Government $10,000 for "electrical-service" which cost them $4,000... THEY SIMPLY "MARKED IT UP" IN PRICE, WITHOUT ANY JUSTIFICATION WHAT-SO-EVER! Some of these companies use "shell-corporations" located in the Cayman Islands to hide their "loot", and avoid paying U.S, taxes on their illegal gains. Don't forget; it's costing you & I (as taxpayers), an estimated $100,000 PER MINUTE!! to wage the illegal war in Iraq! The Washington Post? today reported that six major American seaports have come under the "ownership" of a group from the "United Arab Emirates".... Having been purchased by their U.K. office. We now will NEVER see "cargo-inspection" of the billions of cargo-containers which enter the United States... PRIME methods of delivering "terrorist-weapons" to our shores!! (The United Arab Emirates is a known "haven" for militant Islamic Jihadists, and now controls many of our nation's shipping centers)..... That guy "Chertoff" is sure "doing a heck of a job"!!! He hasn't been able to keep 10,000,000 South & Central American, and Mexican-nationals from WALKING across America's borders; and now he has GIVEN control of our harbors to "Terrorist-states"!!. Question: Why has NO-One asked Bush about Jack Abramoff's job as "Transition-team" leader during the first months of 2000?.... Bush has vehemently denied "Knowing" Abramoff, although numerous photos have been taken of the two of them, and "records-show" that Abramoff was once invited to the Bush ranch in Crawford Texas! (Besides being a Republican "Young Pioneer"....having raised more than $100,000 for Bush's presidential campaign) Bush continues to state: "I don't know him, haven't met the man, I meet a lot of people". Dubyuh is either TOTALLY STUPID, TOTALLY CORRUPT, OR BOTH!!

Today, Bush revealed a supposed "terrorist-plot" to attack a building in Los Angeles with airplanes. In his statement, he purported that the alleged "highjackers" would use "shoe-bombs" to "gain access to the cockpit", and then fly the planes into their targets. This is the MOST LUDICROUS fabrication yet heard from this administration; Claiming their source as "Al Queda-suspects", Bush stated that the plot was uncovered after "intense interrogation" at "Un-disclosed locations". This is their new, politically-correct way of saying that their "sources" had BEEN KIDNAPPED AND TORTURED!!! (ALSO KNOWN AS "RENDERED"), often in countries where international-law is "optional" at best. Everyone knows, and C.I.A. officials have often stated that such "intelligence" is almost always useless, as the victims will SAY ANYTHING that their captors want to hear! Think, for a moment, about the logistical absurdity of Bush's claim.... "Shoe-Bombs" would "be used to gain acces to the cockpits"???? Exploding a "shoe-bomb" in a pressurized airplane would, not only blow off the feet of the highjacker... (making it IMPOSSIBLE to fly the plane) , but would rupture the structural integrity of the hull; certainly causing it to crash!! Any explosion which could blow the door open, would CERTAINLY cause imminent, immediate destruction of the airplane!! This president WILL SAY ANYTHING!! HIS LIES ARE A HISTORICAL FACT!! You don't have to be a cowboy, or be from Texas, to KNOW BULLSHIT!!! The mayor of Los Angeles stated that he had 'NEVER HEARD" ABOUT SUCH A PLOT.... Although it would be the legal-duty of "Homeland-Security" to make him aware of it, and the alleged "plot" occurred FOUR YEARS AGO!!One would think that Bush would IMMEDIATELY "take-credit" for de-fusing such a plot, justification for his "War-On-Terra"???. In other news, indicted "Speaker-of the House" Tom Delay was named to TWO powerful Congressional comittees... an "appropriations" comittee, and the comittee WHICH IS INVESTIGATING THE LOBBYIST JACK ABRAMOFF!!! It seems that the "crooks" are investigating EACH OTHER!! In today's "Good-news","Scooter" Libby has "rolled-over" on the White House; in testimony to the federal prosecutor, he stated that his "Superiors" had expressly told him to divulge secret, classifed information to the press; in order to support the justification for the war in Iraq. Although not mentioned by name, HIS "SUPERIOR" IS NONE-OTHER THAN DICK CHENEY!!! If this is true, Dick Cheney IS GUILTY OF TREASON!! Having worked for the C.I.A., Cheney was well-aware of the illegality of such "leaks". Is it a "coincidence", that Bush's disclosure of an alleged "plot"by Al Queda has occurred while he is trying to justify his illegal wire-taps, and working to renew the "Patriot-Act"? (Several YEARS after the alleged "plot" took place)...... I think not.

100,000 DOLLARS PER MINUTE!! That's what the war in Iraq is costing you & I, and every American tax-payer!! It is sometimes difficult to fathom the TRILLIONS of dollars that George-the Lesser has borrowed to pay for his illegal war; but most Americans can grasp the figure of $100,000.... PER MINUTE!!!! I remind readers that Bush could NOT sucessfully manage two oil-related companies DURING A "BOOM" PERIOD!! Today "Dubyuh" released his budget for the next fiscal year. Included in it are cuts to student loan-funding, as well as cuts to Medicare & Medicaid. It also "cuts" the benefits paid to American veterans; many who have been wounded in Iraq. Does that sound like "Supporting our troops"??? He managed to budget INCREASES in military-spending, however. Where does he think that all this money COMES FROM?? He campaigned on a platform of "fiscal-responsibility"... HOW MUCH LONGER DOES HE THINK WE CAN BE FOOLED?? To quote his own words: "We won't be fooled again". Alberto Gonzales appeared before a Senate comittee today; trying to justify the illegal wire-taps authorized by Bush, he stated that the declarations of war have authorized unlimited surveillance. He then went on to state that "Washington", "Lincoln" & Roosevelt" had all used "wire-taps" in times of war??? Is this man a MORON?? Just exactly WHAT type of "electronic surveillance" EXISITED DURING THE REVOLUTIONARY WAR, AND THE CIVIL WAR??? It seems that he "mis-spoke" one of his carefully-prepared "talking-points", while repeating the same tired excuses for warrantless wire-taps. He repeated the idea, that "if we had this surveillance program BEFORE "9-11", we might have caught the terrorists" He seems to have forgotten the 52 memos sent to the White House WARNING of Al Queda's intent to use "airplanes as weapons", and the F.B.I. reports of "known Al Queda-operatives taking flight-lessons"!! ALL OF WHICH OCCURRED BEFORE THE 9-11 ATTACKS!! How can we "trust" an administration which has consistantly LIED, distorted, and covered-up such things as the "Energy-Policy meetings", the treasonous disclosures of the "Plame incident", and the connections of White House officials to indicted lobbyist Jack Abramoff??How do we know if such surveillane was ever used for political advantage? "Being-illegal" certainly didn't stop Richard Nixon's "Watergate", or Ronald Reagan's "Iran-Contra" operations. ... Gonzales was NEVER asked to be "sworn-in"... making his testimony virtually WORTHLESS, AND WITHOUT CREDIBILITY!! EVEN "PROFESSIONAL BASEBALL-PLAYERS" HAD TO BE "SWORN-IN" when testifying before Congress about steroids!!! I guess that matters of "National-security" and Constitutional law are somehow LESS serious than "Roid-rage" and the kind of "message that steroids sends our children"!!How about the "message" being sent to our children, that our "elected-officials" are corrupt and incompetant LIARS!! ... The message that "government" exists solely to enrich the rich, and the rest of America will pay the bill!! Meanwhile, Bush quietly promotes his tax-cuts for the wealthiest 2% of Americans!!I heard again today the oft-heard quote of Ben Franklin: "He who would sacrifice freedom for security, deserves neither".............Dave

My predictions about the Bush "State of the Union " address were absolutely correct. As they say in Texas, "You don't have to be a cowboy to know BULLSHIT!". George's "dog & pony show" was carefully scripted with only ONE notable exception... when he mentioned his failure to "privatize" Social Security, many of his audience (led by the Democrats) cheered and applauded. He stood silent and "dumbfounded"... sort of like a "deer caught in headlights"; reminiscent of the response he gave when he heard about the 9-11 attacks. Republican strategists had carefully positioned people in the audience to provide "photo-ops". One such person was a female military veteran, who had been granted Congressional permission to be re-united with her "bomb-sniffing dog" after her injury and subsequent discharge.... Nothing is as "heart-wrenching" as a Veteran, unless it's a dog!! I wonder how these people feel about being "pimped" by the Bush administration??? In the previous "State of the Union address", cameras zoomed in on an Iraqi woman who hugged the mother of a G.I. who had died in battle. I guess they couldn't get a dog. Bush made a very odd statement to rally his "base"... some sort of insane rambling about making laws to prevent "cloning" and the "creation of animal/human clones"...... It is now evident that George Bush is a delusional moron!!! NO mention of the crippling deficit, NO mention of the record-low rates of "savings" by Americans, NO mention of the fact that Iraqi "reconstruction-projects" are now OUT OF MONEY!! Just more of the "S.O.S."....... At one point, a lady with a tee-shirt that read: "Support our Troops" was evicted from the halls of Congress.... accused of being a "Protestor"! Then Cindy Sheehan revealed HER tee-shirt, which displayed the "body-count" of American troops killed in Iraq. She was not only evicted, but arrested and handcuffed!! What ever happened to "Freedom-of Speech"??? The Bush "legacy" will soon be known as "The Fourth Reich"!!!Propaganda, covert-surveillance, "death-squads", bribery, colonialism, and torture...after all "If the president does it, it MUST be legal"??????Dave

I have been "racking my brain" lately, to think of possible candidates for the Democratic Party "ticket" in 2008. I now feel that I have found the ideal candidiates. I now propose a "ticket" of: Joe Wilson and Hillary Clinton, with Bill Richardson as "Secretary of State". Joe Wilson and his wife (Valerie Plame Wilson) are extremely "photogenic" , a quality which John Kerry lacked. They LOOK like a "president" and a "First lady", and have years of experience in "Foreign-affairs" and the workings of the C.I.A. Hillary Clinton, as Vice President, also has much experince in Federal government, and could renew her work on Health-care reform. Bill Richardson is , without a doubt, the BEST ambassador that our nation has had in decades. His appointment to the job of Secretary of State would be a powerful addition to the Democratic Party platform, as well as attracting the "Hispanic" demographic. Bill Richardson has been able to achieve diplomatic successes when Bush's entire cabinet could not. Joe Wilson has proven himself to be honest, trustworthy, articulate, and informed.... a FAR CRY from the "current" president. (Plus, his wife is "HOT"!!)........Dave
