Hillary Lieberman... The woman who can destroy the Democrats

Hillary Clinton is acting as if her last name is Lieberman. How dare she imply that John McCain is better prepared to lead this country than her rival Barack Obama?

Has she lost her mind? She has jumped into the mud in the deep end. I guess the Clinton mentality is win at all costs. No matter what the cost to the average American. Hillary said in one of the final debates that "no matter what we will be fine." Here is a news flash for you Ms Clinton, if the Democrates do not win the next White House we will all NOT be fine.

I would expect low life tactics from the Right. But low life tactics from someone in your own party? I would have never guessed she would stoop so low.

I could and would never support Hilllary Rodham Clinton after the last few weeks of slime. I feel that this will cost her campaign in the future. People are tired of this type of infighting.

Hillary believes that she has some sort of birthright to occupy the White House. There is no birthright.

Go home Hillary and be a mediocre Senator.

Grandpa McCain.....he is what Congress looks like.

John Grandpa McCain is in a terrible spot. Since he has offhandedly anointed Barrack Obama as his eventual opponent in the November election he has become the "crabby old man" down the street. Claiming that Barrack Obama is too inexperienced to be the Commander in Chief is as lame as the latest Hillary commercial showing her at 3 am taking the dreaded "red" phone call. (which doesn't actually exist in the real world) McCain is representative of all that is wrong with America. His very presence is ancient and archaic. His ideas are as old as a rusting jalopy out in the back yard. He is by his very nature what Congress actually looks like. When you look at John you see rust and lack of movement.

He continues to tout his experience and his support of the surge in Iraq. John, chill out and pick up the shuffleboard stick. That boat done sailed. The surge may in fact have quelled violence to some extent. This would be in great part due to Muqtada al-Sadr ordering his military to lay down arms for six months. But the fact remains that the cost in lives and dollars will make not only the surge a colossal military mistake but the war itself the largest boondoggle in American military history. George W. Bush's name will be synonymous with this boondoggle and John McCain is itching for the fourth chair behind Cheney and Rumsfeld. I predict that the word Bush will actually become an adverb in the coming years. "Hey dumb ass you really Bushed that one."

Grandpa McCain didn’t just vote to authorize the war; in response to a question from Tim Russert in September 2002, he lent his military credibility to the administration’s undermanned war plan. When Gen. Eric Shinseki, the Army chief of staff, challenged that strategy in a February 2003 Senate hearing by calling for “several hundred thousand soldiers,” Mr. McCain did not speak up" in support. Later that month he went on “Hannity & Colmes” to say that the war “will be brief,” that post-Saddam Iraq is “going to be paid for by the Iraqis,” and that America will “send a message” from Syria to Saudi Arabia that “democracy can take hold in the Middle East.”

Hillary and McCain are searching desperately for dirt on Mr. Obama. Good luck folks. John has to come to the realization that even if Republicans buy his Iraq War "is good" argument then you still have to convince an overwhelming, may I even say "landslide", of new and independent voters that More of the Same is good for the average American. Barrack Obama may be all fluff and no substance. But his message is clear and is becoming more and more believable and possible. This November has the markings of an election for the record books.

Grandpa John may not be the only "crabby old man" down the street. If the landslide continues to grow many Republicans will be looking for work in the public sector. What a shame. My only hope is that this train wreck can be slowed and eventually stopped and reversed. We have many dark days ahead. I hope that the dim light I see ahead is the dawning of a new era in American politics and not a runaway train coming from the opposite direction.

"Shrub" has officially has lost his mind.....there is no doubt anymore!!

Mr. Bush our esteemed officially unelected President has  gone completely bat-shit crazy.  During a speech at the Conservative Political Action Conference where he remarked that each and every conservative should work to keep one of their own in the White House.  Sadly, this is not the crazy part.  Shrub went on to explain how great things really are in Iraq and on and on and on. He stressed how the surge worked and that violence is down. "A year after I ordered the surge of forces, high-profile terrorist attacks in Iraq are down, civilian deaths are down, sectarian killings are down. U.S. and Iraqi forces have captured or killed thousands of extremists in Iraq, including hundreds of key al Qaeda leaders and operatives," he said.  My answer to that kind of logic is that even a house fire eventually goes out.  No its not burning any longer but the site is a barren wasteland and no humans would want to live there any longer.   

But his main concern is the election of 08. White House spokesman Scott Stanzel said after the speech that Bush has "stayed studiously neutral" in the presidential race.  I would say that using the word studiously and George W. Bush in the same sentence is an insult to anyone who finished 3rd grade.  But nonetheless, Shrub expressed his desire for Grandpa McCain to be the next lunatic to wield the conservative sword.  He went on to explain and admire his appointments of Alito and Roberts to the Supreme Court.  "I say we need judges who respect our values, do not follow the political winds and revere the plain meaning of our Constitution. We need more judges like John Roberts and Sam Alito," Shrub said.  Yeah, we need more judges like Roberts and Alito alright, we need them in chains.  These guys are the worst.  Conservatives to the core.  No gray areas for these two clowns.  Nothing but black and white.....ooops scratch the black part.  No blacks, no gays, no poor, and no fair.  These guys will be the lasting footprint of this disaster we call the Bush Administration and we are going to have to live with these two bastards until they retire or die.

Bush continued patting himself on the back about tax cuts.  He revisited the Iraq war and praised himself for his illegal manipulation of the judiciary.  But his biggest delusion is comparing himself to Reagan.  Oh yes, God on high.  The "Gipper".  The "Great Communicator."

Bush called his presidency "a joyous experience" and said he wasn't worried about how history would judge him, saying President Reagan was nearing the end of his second term the same thing Shrub is nearing now."Ronald Reagan was called a 'warmonger,' 'an amiable dunce,' a movie actor detached from reality." Bush said. "Yet within a few years after President Reagan left office, the Berlin Wall came down, the evil empire collapsed, the Cold War was won.

Lets be clear.  I hated Reagan. I did a jig the day he died.  But comparing "Shrub" to Reagan is even an insult for someone who I despised.  Reagan was a dunce, and a warmonger.  He just happened to be at the helm the day that the Soviet Union went broke from its waging war in Afganistan. (Remind you of anything?)   He gives a speech about a wall that was already falling.  He had nothing to do with it.  Shrub is a dunce, a warmonger, a nitwit, delusional, and I believe has a form of brain damage.  (I'm not kidding there)  But at least Reagan was somewhat intelligent and could give a fair speech.  He knew how to play the game and will be remembered for eternity as a great President.  Shrub will be remembered as causing some of our darkest days in this country.  He will be remembered as the worst of the worst.  The lowest common denominator in respect to the Oval Office.  How embarrassing and sad.   

OK!! I was wrong. Very wrong. I apologize.

As Super Tuesday draws near I must become humble and apologize to Senator Barack Obama.  My last post was one of disbelief and dismay.  His comments which I was force fed (out of context) angered me and sent me on a tailspin of negative prose.  Yet, as the days moved on I read his comments verbatim and have pieced together the full thought process he was attempting to convey.  His comments about Ronald Reagan were at best an attempt to show that the Republicans were attempting change, not good change, not improvement, but nonetheless change by its very definition.  I completely and totally agree with that statement and have climbed back on the Obama wagon. 

Senator Obama is the equivalent and possibly the finest example a current day JFK that I have seen in my lifetime.  I have listened to many of his speeches, read his book and have been moved by his words.  This man can grip an audience with the enthusiasm and the electricity he can put into the air.  I feel good about being an American once again.  A feeling that I have not felt for over 10 years.  This man has the potential to improve/change this country. He has the potential to be the finest and the most important individual in the past three decades.  I believe with all my heart that this man can change the world.

During the California debate last night it has become obvious that Senator Clinton and Senator Obama have decided that the Americans come first.  They come first before ego, differences, and policy.  No argument between the two is more important than is the future of the country.  For this I salute both candidates.  Again, I feel great about being an American.

A dream ticket...........Obama/Clinton.....Clinton/Obama....

I love this. 

Obama is on my s#@t list.

Barrack Obama may have the charisma and the look of a rock start but he has shattered my support.  He literally has broken it into small pieces and left it by the side of the road.  His praise of Ronald Reagan to the Reno Gazette has left me reeling...........

Obama told the Reno Gazette-Journal editorial board Monday that "Reagan changed the trajectory of America in a way that Richard Nixon did not and in a way that Bill Clinton did not. He put us on a fundamentally different path because the country was ready for it," Obama said.

"I think it's fair to say that the Republicans were the party of ideas for a pretty long chunk of time there over the last 10 to 15 years in the sense that they were challenging conventional wisdom," Obama told the newspaper.

How dare a Democratic candidate praise the Republican Party or its "walk on water" god Reagan for anything?  The Republican Party has sent this country into a tailspin that we may never recover from.  It has dismissed the middle class as nothing more than worker bees and increased the distance between the extremely wealthy and the ones just getting by. 

Hillary Clinton hit the mark.

"That's not the way I remember the last ten to fifteen years." She said she didn't consider it a better idea to privatize Social Security, eliminate the minimum wage, undercut health benefits, shut down the government or drive the country into debt. "I think we know what needs to be done in America. And I think we're ready to do it. I'm ready to lead on day one.

Edwards was also on the mark, 

"Ronald Reagan, the man who busted unions, the man who did everything in his power to destroy the organized labor movement, the man who created a tax structure that favored the richest Americans against middle class and working families, ... we know that Ronald Reagan is not an example of change for a presidential candidate running in the Democratic Party," Edwards said.

Reagan also "was destructive to the environment by removing a lot of the regulation that existed," Edwards added in a later telephone interview with The Associated Press. "I would never use Ronald Reagan as an example of change."

From this day forward I will support Mr. John Edwards for the Presidency.  He is the only one who has a disdain for big business, corporate corruption, and special interest that is similar to my own. He is, in fact, a man of the people.

 

I will support a Democratic candidate no matter who he or she might be.  But I hope and pray that it will be a candidate that I can tell myself, my children, and my grandchildren was not BUSH LIGHT!!

The Truth About The Surge

A Surge of More Lies by Congressman Robert Wexler


A new troubling myth has taken hold in Washington and it is critical that the record is set straight. According to the mainstream media, Republicans, and unfortunately even some Democrats, the President's surge in Iraq has been a resounding success. In fact, nothing could be further from the truth.
This assertion is disingenuous, factually incorrect, and negatively impacts America's national security. The Surge had a clear and defined objective - to create stability and security - enabling the Iraqi government to enact lasting political solutions and foster genuine reconciliation and cooperation between Sunnis, Shias, and Kurds.
This has not happened. There has been negligible political progress in Iraq, and we are no closer to solving the complex problems - including a power sharing government, oil revenue agreement and new constitution - than we were before the Administration upped the ante and sent 30,000 more troops to Iraq.
Too many Democrats in Congress are again surrendering to General Petraeus and have failed to challenge the Bush Administration's claims that the surge has been successful. In fact -- it is just the opposite.
The reduction in violence in Iraq has exposed the continuing failure of Iraqi officials to solve their substantial political rifts. By President Bush's own stated goal of political progress, the Surge has failed.
Of course raising troop levels has increased security - a strategy the Bush administration ignored when presented by General Shinseki before the war in Iraq began - but the fundamental internal Iraqi problems remain and the factors that were accelerating the civil war in 2007 have simply been put on hold.
The military progress is a testament to the patience and dedication of our brave troops - even in the face of 15 month-long deployments followed by insufficient Veteran's health services when they return home. They have performed brilliantly - despite the insult of having President Bush recently veto a military spending bill that enhanced funding and benefits, and increased care.
Despite the efforts of American soldiers, the surge alone cannot bring about the political solutions needed to end centuries of sectarian divide.
As it stands, little on the ground supports the assertion that Iraqis are ready to stand up and govern themselves. Too few Iraqi troops are trained, equipped and combat ready, and they cannot yet provide adequate security. Loyalty is also an issue in the Iraqi army as Al Queda and Sunni insurgents infliltrate their defense forces. The consequences turned deadly just recently when an Iraqi soldier purposely killed two U.S. troops.
On the streets of Baghdad and Mosul, the Sunni and Shia factions have paused their fighting, awaiting guarantees and protections that have not yet been delivered. As Iraqi refugees return, there is no mechanism to help them rebuild their lives, nor recover their now-occupied homes. Neighborhoods once mixed are now segregated.
In Northern Iraq, Kurdish terrorists conducting nefarious operations across the border into Turkey have compelled our NATO ally to strike at bases, inflaming tensions between Baghdad and Ankara.
The surge is working? We suffered more U.S. casualties in 2007 than in any other year of the war. We can't afford any more of this type of success.
How can we create the situation that is most likely to deliver political progress in Iraq? Not by continuing the surge and occupation. Our best chance (there is no guarantee) is by putting real pressure on the Iraqi government to force action. Telling the national and local Iraqi leaders that we are withdrawing our troops can help accomplish this goal. Today, the majority Iraqi Shia government led by Prime Minister Nouri al-Maliki has little incentive to act when American troops remain in the country to provide security and stability.
Based on the Administration's plan, John McCain's proposal of a 100-year US occupation could be a reality!
The Democratic Congress must act aggressively to first cut off funding for the surge and then the entire war. Many of my colleagues avoided a showdown with the administration because they mistakenly believed such a fight would endanger the safety of the troops.
In fact, we must accept that every soldier killed or injured in the coming months should have already been home. Every billion dollars of war-appropriations we spend from here on should have been spent on genuine priorities here at home such as children's heath care.
Enough is enough: While the Administration over-commits American forces in Iraq, we see Al Qaeda-regrouping and Osama Bin Laden still at large. We remain seriously bogged down in Afghanistan, and are witnessing a crisis in Pakistan that has left a nuclear country on the brink of a meltdown. America's resources and attention are desperately needed elsewhere and our soldiers must no longer be needlessly sacrificed as we wait for Iraqis to stand up.
The Surge has failed. If my colleagues gullibly accept the moving rationale for the Surge, just as so many have for the war itself, we will have failed as well.

Clinton and Edwards in New Hampshire……….Can you say spanking???

Win in Iowa and New Hampshire and the race is over……….

It is Sunday January 6, 2008 and I am hereby predicting that the primary election in New Hampshire is going to be dominated by the juggernaut Obama campaign. He is currently leading by double digits and looks to take the small state by storm. http://www.cnn.com/2008/POLITICS/01/06/nh.poll/index.html

The fire storm of change is blowing across America and there is no one to put it out. New voters are getting energized by this man and if he continues to give speeches like he has in the past few days I predict he will be the first minority President of these United States.

Mr. Obama is now linking the civil rights struggle with the inclusion of new voters who came out for him in Iowa. “That is what is possible in four days time, that is the challenge before you, New Hampshire,” he says, picking up the preacher cadence and clearly responding to the crowd. “If you believe we cannot be stopped, there is a moment in the life of every generation, if it is to make its mark on history, where that spirit, that faith, has to break through. This is our moment. This is our time.” Does that sound Presidential enough for you? Republican bastards of the world look out. This statement will be the battle cry for everyone who wants a new America, a brighter America, a just America.

“Our time for change has come,” he declares. He talks about having brought more young people to the caucuses in Iowa. “Across America, a fire is burning,” he says, “and folks are ready to go.”

Mr Obama has been in my top three lists of candidates for the past 6 months. But the past week has turned me into a real believer. Republicans are in a world of hurt in my opinion. Whoever comes out of that donnybrook will be wounded and may not recover enough to take Obama on. It’s a bitch being Republican. What a shame…..

OBAMA HITS THE MARK IN IOWA

Get the soda and popcorn ready because the next 9 months are going to be fun. The country is ready for change and it couldn't be more evident than last nights Iowa Caucus. Obama wins with 38%, Edwards comes in second, and Hillary is a close third. This is in Iowa??????? Iowa which is 97% white........ voting for a black man?? Has middle America gone mad? Middle America where Bush won big in 2004, and now Republicans are looking for anyone but a Bush look alike. Speaking of Bush look alike's, Mitt Romney came in a distant second despite all of his money. Apparently the Republican Party has created a Frankenstein and unfortunately for them "It's Alive!!!" Hukabee had little money and a rag tag organization and yet because he is not Bush and Cheney, he is the frontrunner. The Republican Party made faith an issue in 2000 and 2004. They organized the Christian Evangelicals and won both times. But the problem is that the Neocons of the world do not actually see the world or faith in the same light as the true believers. Now they have a runaway train full of believers that will drain the swamp called the Republican Party. THATS A SHAME.........

PREDICTIONS:

1 Heres a little tip if you are inclined to wager......Obama wins in New Hampshire and it is over folks. The fat lady will be singing.

Attention all red neck, gun totting, Confederate flag waving morons. I have a little joke for you..........What do you call a black man who can fly?.....................(Pause for effect)... Answer.. A PILOT YOU FREAKING RACIST!!!!

What do you call a black man who wins the Iowa caucus and the New Hampshire Primary?................(Pause for effect)...

Answer: You will call him the President of the United States of America.

So get ready Bubba's of the world. Your world is about to come crashing down.

2 Hillary gets nasty over the next few days. Starts running negative ads.

3 Guiliani is on life support and about to code blue. If he doesn't show well in New Hampshire it is over for him. AGAIN, THATS A SHAME........

4 Barack Obama wins the New Hampshire Primary by 5 points Hillary in second and John Edwards a distant third.

5 Fred Thompson says bye bye after New Hampshire. Assuming he is awake when it takes place. Freddie you are a better actor than a politician.

The coming months are going to a wonderful thing. There is going to be much gnashing of teeth by the Right and the pundits are going to be struggling for something positive to say. The Limbaughs and Hannity's of the world can just wallow in it. The loud mouth bastards deserve all they get. Speaking of loud mouth bastards, where is Ann Coulter at these days. I say bastard because have you seen her adams apple?

Rock on Liberals. The best is yet to come.

Republican Party in Tatters???

Recently on his show, ” Windbag” Rush Limbaugh, used terms and language that I have not heard since the early days of Clinton era. Windbag was actually criticizing one of his own party members in detail and with force.

Rush Limbaugh, the loudest voice of the conservative movement, has joined the chorus, accusing Huckabee of practicing “identity politics” (as an evangelical) and conservative apostasy. He told his listeners that Mr. Huckabee’s record is “not even anywhere near conservative.”

A Southern Baptist preacher with a pro life stand slammed by the leader of Conservative talk radio “not even anywhere near conservative?” What is happening here? Have I died and gone to heaven? I love nothing more than hearing the neoconservative movement beginning to unravel. They seem very desperate. Huckabee was being written off six months ago. http://www.thebristows.com/blog/election-2008/conservative-media-bias Yet, here we are on the eve of the caucus in Iowa and he is the one to beat. This snippet of talk radio demonstrates just how desperate the Republican Party actually is and how not one of the current candidates satisfies the far Right.

Prediction for 2008 “Windbag”, you are currently criticizing the individual who will represent your party in the 2008 Presidential Election. This guy is a certifiable “nutcase” in my opinion, but he is striking a cord with many former Regan Republicans. So get used to it Rush, this is going to be the Right Wing man of the year. Better be careful what you say because you are going to be kissing his ass in just less than 366 days and counting.

As the elections of 2008 draw closer it makes me feel all warm inside to read and view on a daily basis the sweat that is dripping off the brow of the neoconservative crowd. Huckabee may be a complete lunatic but he is dangerous, dangerous to the neoconservative movement. Huckabee holds a place in the heart of the Republican Wannabes and this could spell disaster for the Republican Party as a whole. Hey Bill Kristol, Dick Cheney, Paul Wolfowitz, Sean Hannity and all the other fascist right, there is a shark in your swimming pool, and his name is Mike Huckabee.

Republican Wannabes

If you consider yourself a good Republican then we need to talk for a moment.

First, open your mind and put aside the talking points that Fox Noise (News) and the Limbaugh’s of the world use as weapons………abortion, gays, guns, terrorism, and family freaking values.

So you call yourself a Republican. Sit yourself down, take a deep breath and look me right in the eye………………Are you out of your freaking mind????? Are you a millionaire? Are you in the top 1% income bracket in this nation? Do you belong to an exclusive country club? Does Saturday seem similar to any other day of the week? Do you own a huge company who employees undocumented workers? Did you receive bonus compensation this year in the amount of six figures? Did your company receive "No Bid" contracts from the federal government for sub par services delivered in Iraq?

If you answered no to any or all of the questions above then folks I have a news flash for you………………..YOU ARE NOT A REPUBLICAN. You may wish you were but none the less you are not, and never should be a Republican. You are a wannabe Republican.

Now answer these questions………….Do you fear for your job? Do you worry late at night that you might not be able to make the mortgage payment, or the car payment? Do you worry that a serious illness could bankrupt you? Do you check the amount on your paycheck each payday? Do you check your balance in your checking account often? Do you sometimes wonder how you will afford to send your children to college? Does a week’s vacation require a year of planning?

If you answered yes to any or all of these questions folks…………….YOU ARE NOT A REPUBLICAN!!!!

Did you realize that last year the top 1% richest individuals in the country had an increase in income that was larger than the total income of the bottom 20%?

Warren Buffet, the third richest men in the world actually pays a smaller percentage (17% of $46 million) in taxes than his very own secretary who pays 30% of her $60,000. http://business.timesonline.co.uk/tol/business/money/tax/article1996735.ece Thanks to the Republican tax cuts of the past 7 years. . That is sad folks.

The talking points of the Republican Right (guns, gays, abortion, etc.) are meant to drag middle and lower income workers into the fold of a rich mans club. But guess what folks, you get none of the perks. You are being used and sold a bill of goods. Wake up America. You are walking in single file to the slaughter house wearing a "shit eating" grin.

80% of Republicans are actually Democrats who are not paying attention.

You may not always agree with Democrats but the Left is the only party a working stiff who earns a weekly paycheck can find relief. Next time you think of a 40 hour work week, paid vacation, social security, safe work rules, and on and on and on. Thank a Democrat and Vote for a Democrat.

If you still consider yourself a Republican...........Then my friend you are a MORON.

Bhutto Becomes Casualty in NeoCons Game

June 5, 1968 and December 27, 2007

I feel similar today as I felt in 1968 watching as an up and coming star was taken from America. The assassination of Robert F. Kennedy in Chicago replayed in my head much of the day. He was taken out just as his political star was rising to its panicle. Now nearly 40 years later the majority of Pakistan civilians are mourning the loss of Former Pakistani Prime Minister Benazir Bhutto. Another star that has been extinguished by the forces of evil and a direct result of our meddling.

Pakistan is a powder keg ready to explode. The destiny of that country was set in motion in 2000. That day Sandra Day O’Conner and the Supreme Court appointed George W. Bush to the Presidency of the United States of America. A coup was perpetrated that day but that is another story. That action set in motion a set of circumstances by which Americans foreign policy would change the landscape of the Middle East forever. The Neocons wanted war and upheaval in the Middle East. Chaos breeds chaos and chaos allows people to steal.

The invasion of Iraq, Afganistan, and our bullying of Iran has bolstered hatred for us in every corner of the region. Pervez Muscharraf, a ruthless dictator, who possesses nuclear weapons, has become a necessary evil. A necessary evil……….lets think now….that sounds familiar to another tyrant in the region we just disposed of. This assassination has emboldened the extremists in the area and placed the Bush administrations wet dream of “our kind of” democracy for all in a bit of a bind that may make Iran second on our list of shit to worry about.

Bush today condemned the assassination from his cozy little ranch in Crawford, Texas. But I can assure you that behind closed doors Darth Vader Cheney and Skippy Do Da Bush are laughing it up. This places yet another piece of the puzzle in the Middle East game into play. Cheney and Muscharraf are buddy’s. Of course, I don’t think he has been hunting with Cheney yet. I truly believe Muscharraf was instrumental in the assassination. This will extend his rule and he will remain a player.
Look for turmoil and mayhem in the weeks to come. 2008 may be the year we will all remember for the wrong reasons. Remember that this country processes the bomb. Strangely it was never included in the Axis of Evil speech yet it is the hideout of Osama Bin Ladin. Call me crazy but I find that a convenient coincidence

God is everywhere. Especially at the Republican Debates

Does it bother anyone else that a majority of the Republican candidates for President do not believe in evolution? Evolution.............? Do we want a President who believes in the Easter Bunny? The Tooth Fairy? How about those elves who bake cookies inside trees? Because if you do not feel it is important for the leader of the free world to have at least one foot planted in the world of reality then the Republican Party is just where you want to lay your head.

I can deal with debates on issues that are reality based. Abortion, gay rights, and immigration all have merit and are real. But a conscious disregard for scientifically based fact is delusion. We all know what I am talking about..........Intelligent Design. Yes, that mindless, baseless, LSD trip into a world of fantasy. A world that is only 5000 years old. A world that was created in 7 days by a loving God. The same loving God that sent a tsunami to kill over 200,000 of the poorest people on this planet.

The founding fathers felt it a necessity to separate church and state. Our country was founded on the belief that each and every one of us has the right to worship his or her god as we please. Not a single founding father said or wrote that as this nation becomes older that we should turn our backs on fact and embrace delusion. Disbelief in evolution is childlike at best and a sickening and scary trip into a world of make-believe at worst.Please pray for us to your God of choice. Or, if you are an atheist, please cross your fingers and hope for the best. Because if a Republican gains the White House with a mindset similar to a Huckabee or Romney then our golden goose is cooked. Hope my fairy godmother has her cell phone on.

Obstructionism=A Lump of Coal in Your Stocking

The problem with the Republican platform of good government = smaller government is that it becomes a self-fulfilling prophecy. Take our current system and obstruct the hell out of it and you can then point to it and say, “See how wasteful and inefficient it is?” And that’s exactly what George Will does during the panel discussion on This Week with George Stephanopoulos, bragging about the Republican obstructionism but EJ Dionne points out that denying children healthcare isn’t exactly something to brag about.

Obstruction is a key and very powerful tool used by the Right. Since November of 06 when the Democrats gained a slight edge in the House and Senate, Republicans have done nothing but use this tool as a weapon along with the threat of a filibuster, and a mindless drone in the White House to claim Democrats can’t get things done. I do not know how the Right sleeps at night. Deny children healthcare? Cut benefits to veterans? But claim you are the party that can get things done. Obstructionism should be a 4 letter word. Republicans should be ashamed of themselves.

Remember, the day will come when a Democrat is in the White House and you will rue the day you used obstructionism as a weapon.
My New Years wish for 2008 is that the Democrats claim large majorities in House and Senate as well as a Clinton in the White House again. Hillary may not be the best but it will be worth it to see every sniveling, self righteous Republican’s eyes when “Bill” is standing back in the Rose Garden of the White House.

The Twelve Days of Impeachment

The lies and crimes of the Bush crime family keep piling up as the year comes to a close. Bu here are twelve that should land his ass and most of his administration in Leavenworth or worse.

1) The now famous Downing Street Memo, along with the testimony of former Treasury Secretary Paul O'Neil show direct evidence of a decision by Bush to invade a sovereign foreign nation (Iraq) on a well thought out and complete bag of lies.

2) The decision to use chemical weapons in Fallujah in an attempt to stem the tide of so-called insurgents. This decision came from Rumsfeld who no doubt covered his ass by receiving the OK from Bush to use these banned weapons. The same type of weapon the bad guy Saddam used on his own people. God, I get tired of that being an excuse from the 20%ers to justify the invasion.

3) Authorizing torture of POW's or civilians who were in the wrong place at the wrong time - a direct violation of the protocols of the Geneva Convention. The USA tortures people. Write that down and remember it. Your grand children will have questions about this one.

4) Holding so called "non-combatant civilians" for an indefinite period of time, depriving them of the court system, access to counsel, and access to family members who could plead their case to the public. A general banning of habeas corpus, which is every human beings right to respond to charges against them. This practice has been used since the Middle Ages.

5) Kidnapping so called "terror suspects" , placing them on Rendition Airways, and sending them to countries like Uzbekistan who boil these ,untried, innocent until proven guilty people alive.

6) Full prior knowledge of 9/11 by Bush, Rice, and the top Neocons at the Pentagon . The only ones warned were Fmr. SF. Mayor Willie Brown, Salman Rushdie (Via Scotland Yard) and Ariel Sharon, who cancelled his trip to NYC scheduled for the weekend prior to 9/11.

7) Engaging in a massive voter fraud and suppression campaign in the state of Ohio to secure a second term by fraudulent means. Such activities carry criminal sanctions as outlined in the Voting Rights Act of 1965. This one alone should get his ass placed in chains

8) The attempt to quash the testimony of Sibel Edmondsl ,http://www.cbsnews.com/stories/2002/10/25/60minutes/main526954.shtml

9) Engaging in a systematic campaign of depriving political dissidents of their 1st amendment rights to condemn Bush administration policy. Protesters are jerked out of crowd and summarily arrested and jailed. The Secret Service, under orders of the President, conduct "Harassment and intimidation Interviews" of anti -Bush political activists.

10) Conspiring to rig the vote count in the state of Fl. by hacking optical scan machines and E-voting machines and covering up the latter by passing legislation in the state of Fl to prevent post-election examination of E-voting machines. Thanks Bro!!

11) Illegally transferring $700 million from the budget for the war in Afghanistan for war preparations in Iraq in July 2002, without Congressional Approval. This is a Constitutional violation.

12) The "outing" of CIA operative Valerie Plame. This action weakened the country and the CIA itself. Bob Novak, Scooter Libby, Cheney and Bush should all be convicted as traitors to the country and suffer the consequences.

Ok, so there are 13 days of impeachment. Sue me.
13) Lying through your teeth and conspiring with the unholy to drag our ass into a war that did not need to be fought. Costing the lives of over 600,000 innocent Iraqi civilians, over 3000 young American lives, tens of thousands of young men and women who will never be the same physically again. Trillions of dollars lost, pissed away, or served on trays to cronies and friends as No Bid Contracts. All of which falls under the umbrella of fear of 9/11.

Now you have the 13 days of impeachment. Yet, Nancy Pelosi, Speaker of the House still insists that Impeachment is not on the table. What would this madman have to do for her to consider placing impeachment back on the table? God, I long for the days of Tip O’Neil a cigar smoking, bourbon drinking, hard ass Democrat who could smell blood in the water a mile away. I know he is spinning in his grave watching the spineless Democrats turn into lap dogs for this Unholy President.

Remember you Kool aide drinking 20%ers………….Clinton only got a blow job from a consenting female.

With year to go, Bush's legacy a mixed bag

Please check out this story on CNN. With year to go, Bush's legacy a mixed bag Notice that the reporter is one Ed Henry http://www.cnn.com/CNN/anchors_reporters/henry.ed.html Senior correspondent from the Washington bureau. This guy is a hack and a kiss ass. He lies every chance he gets and omits to serve the Republican right. That is not journalism. Where CNN comes up with dweeb looking hacks is beyond me. Bob Woodward-style journalism of the Watergate era is dead and gone in today’s media atmosphere. http://www.counterbias.com/309.html Ed looks like the kind of guy who got the shit kicked out of him every day in high school.

Mr. Henry states in his article that "W" might actually be able to save his legacy. What diminision of unreality is this guy living in. "W's" legacy is beyond repair and beyond reproach as the worst and most dangerous President to occupy the Oval office. His disregard for human decency and human life will be compared to other stellar indiviuals from the the past like Stalin and Napoleon. This man single handedly has contributed to giant steps backward in diplomatic, economic, and simple human connection with the world at large. Mr. Bush will leave office with the world far worse off than when he entered the mix.

The major networks and newspapers have stooped to a new low in journalstic integrity. They hire anyone and allow them to be pundints rather than reporters. Hello?? CNN?? Do you have anyone in your organization that can print the truth. The world is getting tired of the bull shit you guys pass off as news and investigative journalism. How about we hire some hungry Woodward/Bernstein types and possibly print a story or two that doesn't stink to high heaven of bias and slant? But no, that would require CNN to grow a set of balls. CNN is a disgrace to journalism.

Huckabee is a Huckelberry with a 30.06

I always suspected that Republicans are insane and this proves it. God likes Republicans and animal killing How spooky!



Huckabee is a delusional zealot. This guy really needs some professional help. I could fill several entire editions of Holy Crap with this guy’s religious insanity. I certainly hope he gets the nomination. I hereby proclaim that all "rightwing" religious types help propell this bozo to the very top of the Republican garbage pile. "W" is a loser idiot with a father who had power and money. Huckabee is a loaded gun with no direction but the ramblings of a seniel old one room church preacher. God help us all. Even former enablers are spooked. This boy is off the reservation.

Bush and his failures

2292 days since 9/11/2001, and Bush still hasn't captured Osama bin Laden.

Karl Rove is crazy and ugly

News summary for the last few days

1. President Bush lied about Irans weapons program. http://www.reuters.com/article/newsOne/idUSWBT00801220071203

2. Karl Rove is telling everyone that the Democrates are responsible for the war in Iraq http://www.nytimes.com/?emc=na

3. The CIA torutures people and them destroys the video tapes of these sessions. http://www.news.com.au/story/0,23599,22885381-23109,00.html

I think that about sums up the past few days. Oh, by the way, I forgot to mention that Mitt Romney is still a Mormon..........But according to him he will not allow the church to sway his opinions. What a dork!! Don't worry Mitt you aren't going to get a chance to sway anyone.

Now lets start at the beginning. President Bush cried wolf sometime ago and claimed that Iran was on the verge of causing World War Three. Suprisingly the intelligence comunity released a report that proves Bush was lying through his teeth. Not only lying on this but also holding the report since October of 06. That report came out about the same time that Darth Vader Cheney had heart palpitations. I wonder if there is any connection between the truth coming out and Cheney's illness. Actually, I was suprised to learn that Vice Pres still has a heart...
The Republican presidental candidates have a real problem now. Each and every one of them was going to use Iran as the center peice of their campaigns. Now with no invasion or war in Iran they have to regroup and think of something else.


Second, Karl Rove made an appearance on PBS during the Charlie Rose show and again showed us how insane he really is. He is now claiming that the Democrates actually were the party that rushed to war in Iraq. Man, this guy is as insane as he is ugly. I guess being out of the loop is too much for Uncle Karl. He made a crazy claim during the interview. Take some time and listen to all 51 minutes. See if you can pick out the crazy parts. http://video.google.com/videoplay?docid=-7872847642042092515&q=An+Hour+with+Karl+Rove&total=39&start=0&num=10&so=0&type=search&plindex=0

Third. The CIA tortures people and records it. Big suprise there.
The CIA tortures people, records it, and destroyes the tapes. Wow, now I am suprised.

Finally, Mitt Romney is apologizing for being a Mormon. If you ask me, well he should. Kennedy may have been the first Catholic but I can say without any possibility of being wrong that there will never be a Mormon in the White House. Come on Mitt, your are no Jack Kennedy. But you do look very handsome. Hey, how about having one or two of your sons join the military and go fight in Iran.

Liar liar pants on Fire

President Bush stated today that despite the NIE (National Intelligence Estimate) stating that Iran has not had a nuclear weapons program since 2003 that they are still a threat. He forgot to mention that he is a big fat liar. In August of this year W was warning the world that Iran was on the brink of nuclear capability and World War III was just around the corner. Information has been uncovered that this administration received this report in October of 2006. But kept it under raps until December 4, 2007. It is obvious that in the build up to war with Iran this information would weigh heavily on Republican chances in November. Information like this would also put into jepardy the willingness of America to fall for the same BS they fell for in the lead up to war with Iraq.



Bush and Company are in a pickle. Crediability is zilch now with our allies. Cry wolf enough and eventually people will not listen or care.

The Truth Stings Like A Bitch

Open letter to someone who thinks I am missing the point


Yeah, the “missing point” is that when the “Right” is pushed into a corner by the truth they will always blame Clinton. It is inevitable. The events that led to the World Trade Center attack was a product of US middle east policy over the last 25 years. But when you purposely ignore warning after warning about an inevitable attach like Bush did then go on vacation for the month of August it becomes your fault.

Don’t put a lot of stock in the http://www.whatthewestneedstoknow.com/ site. It has Fox News as one of its sources. Fox News is owned and operated by Rupert Murdock, a hard core neoconservative, one of the “greedy corporate world” who spins the news to suit his agenda. http://www.outfoxed.org/ I refer to Fox News as Fox Noise. They wouldn’t know the truth if they tripped over it. Fox Noise viewers are very patriotic and very misinformed. They refer to anyone who is different as “those people.” Not a very Christian thing to do. Fear and lies are what Fox sells. If you get your information solely from Fox News then I have some ocean front property in Arizona I can sell you.

Saddam Hueissen had nothing to do with the attacks on the World Trade Center on 9/11. http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/articles/A47812-2004Jun16.html
Fox Noise and Dick Cheney lied to us for years about this but it is simply not true. So we invaded a sovereign country over a lie. The weapons of mass destruction did not exist. http://www.cnn.com/2004/WORLD/meast/10/06/iraq.wmd.report/

The Right will call you a traitor if you disagree with Iraq policy. They will say that you are not supporting the troops. This administration has never supported the troops. They led them into an unnecessary war, did not provide them with equipment to protect and defend themselves, invaded with no exit strategy, cut their benefits, extended tours, cut funding to veterans hospitals, and I could go on and on and on.

Being a patriot does not mean blindly following a mad man.

Bottom line…………..Are you better off than you were 8 years ago?
“Mr. President…………..Please quit and take your fat little friend with you
