"If they feel the troops are worth it, why not spend the money? It's human life.
You can't put a price on it, so I don't see why they're putting them in this position."
--Chris Maida, on the troops in Humvees (instead of fighting vehicles) feelling expendable,

Typical Bush behavior - putting troops on hostile land without armor.

Giggling Murderer Bush

Excerpt:
Cindy Sheehan said on Friday she plans to focus on Congress, starting with Bush
bastard and fellow Texan House Majority Leader Tom DeLay (R-Squirrel).

Cindy plans to bus from Bush's ranch to Washington DC starting Thursday.
"I think our first stop might be Tom DeLay's office," she said, surrounded by supporters.
"I just wanted to let him know so he'll be in his office when we get there."

I like her tactics.
She already proved Bush is too cowardly to meet her, now she wants to
prove what a cowardly bastard that little squirrel from Texas can be.

Will DeLay make the same mistakes as the cowardly Chief Chickenhawk?
Or will he use his head and invite her in for donuts, coffee and conversation?

Subject: Democrats

Democrats are like the fearful co-dependent mom who holds a spare belt
while our raging out-of-control alcoholic Republican daddy continues to
whip the hell out of our collective asses.

"I think this administration now understands
they have a losing hand in Iraq.”
-- Rep. David Obey, D-Wis, Link

It won't make a difference.
Bush will stay with the "course of disaster" even if thousands more die.
The alternative, admitting he was wrong, is more than he can bear.

It is clear when a lower middle class Steelworker (that’s me) could out argue the
republicans with their own hypocrisy and lies, that the democrats don't want to win.
They are part of the same corporate game that the republicans are supporting,
good cop bad cop, you get me. This two party political system and corperate
finance of political campaigns seems to be a race to the bottom.

As far as I am concerned the democrats lost my vote for two reasons.
The first being what they did to Howard Dean (whom I still like)
and the second being that John Kerry was completely spineless when it
came to defending himself from the lies (stupid lies) that the right was
smearing him with, which resulted it the reelection of the Monkey.

It made me feel betrayed - like they wanted to lose?????

I will continue to be politically active but not as a Democrat.
Maybe as a Secular Humanist and or a Conservationist.

Andy, let's say you were on a sinking ship.
You grabbed a lifeboat and pushed away from the sdinking ship.
You spot an island in the distance, so you row towards it.

As you near the shore, your boat hits a jagged rock and sinks
but you're close enough to make it and even save the boat.

Now, to get off the island, you're gonna need a boat.
So you scour the island and look for a tree that's big enough
but you'll have to figure out a way to cut that tree down.
If that works, then you gotta figure a way to hollow it out.
If that works, then you gotta figure a way to close up each end of the trunk.
If that works, then you gotta figure a way to plug the holes where branches were.
If that works, then you gotta figure a way to stabilize the trunk from tipping over.
If that works, then you gotta figure a way to attach the paddles so they'll move the boat.
That could take months, assuming it was possible in the first place..

Me?
I'm a busy man. I got shit to do.
I say let's repair the hole and set sail in two hours.

I say we drum the "fighting is wrong" weenies out of our party.

Excerpt:
Fred Phelps says God is punishing American soldiers for defending a country that harbors gays,
and they brought that message to the funerals Saturday of two Tennessee soldiers killed in Iraq.

"To do this at a funeral is disrespectful of a family, no matter what your beliefs are," said Cinnie
Ditmore, tears streaming down her face.

If they were protesting the government, I might even join them," Danny Cotton, 56, but for them
to come during the worst time for this family — it's just wrong."

It's George Bush's America.
From Willie Horton to Clinton's mom is a KGB agent to Clinton raped teen virgins to McCain
being "insane" and fathering black kids all over the world to Ann Richards is gay to the "damage"
the last administration did to the White House to swift boating never-been-to-Nam John Kerry."

The BFEE has proven that's how you win.
Personal slurs, vicious rumors and unnamed sources with salacious gossip.
They feed the paranoia of handjobs like Fred Phelps and they both profit from it.

But they couldn't be the most destructive political cabal in our history if the Democrats
would just stand up and say, "That's enough!" but they can't muster the will to do it.

Subject: If only John Kerry had fought for us...

From your link about Bush's ugly, pathetic expletives:

"To see that fear emerges, Dr. Frank says, all one has to do is confront the President.
To actually directly confront him in a clear way, to bring him out, so you would
really see the bully, and you would also see the fear,” he says.

When I read this, I again wanted to SCREAM at John Kerry for not putting it to Bush.
Could you imagine if one of these cowardly outbursts happened on TV during a debate?
Pres. Kerry would today (hopefully) be cleaning up this miserable Bush war.
-Elizabeth.

Elizabeth, you should be angry with John Kerry.
He gave Bush the power the screw the world.

Kerry swore he'd fight for us and theh he broke his promise and took a dive
so the stupidest, most unqualified and most crooked president in American history
could continue the looting, the warring and the killing that has defined his presidency.

Shame, shame on John Kerry, the quitter.

Cindy Sheehan has more courage and more love for her country these days than Kerry.
Like Cindy - more than, even - Kerry had history in his hands but he made the conscious
decision to turn his back and let the evil Bush bastards change a once-great nation into a
massive killing machine that every nation in the world now fears.

Bart,

Just when I'm convinced that I have had enough of Bartcop,
you give me Karl Rove in Latvia. I laugh so hard, I nearly pee myself.

And then another day rolls around and I'm back to my old habits.
I swear you are worse than smack.
Damn you!

M.A.

Note: We're gaining steam on the big protest march.
Watch here for important details soon!

Watch out,. Peter, the BFEE might steal your idea and disappear you
to prevent your "hamster technology" from replacing fossil fuels.

Subject: gas prices, not lives

Bart,

It is disgusting to see that the price of gas is more important to the American people
than the loss of lives in Iraq. I think that Americans secretly or overtly want to use the
military presence in Iraq to steal Iraqi oil. They don't seem to care about the lives that
are being lost. But threaten their precious automobiles, well that's a different story.
We're all part of this "lives for oil" conspiracy.

It seems the only thing that REALLY matters to Americans is what matters to Giggles Bush;
that we steal their oil. It's "stay the course", that is, until it becomes evident that the oil we are
stealing isn't reducing the price of gas. Then it's a big deal. Greed knows no bounds.

We are all part of this hypocrisy as Americans. We should all be ashamed.
Nelly

...and on top of that, gas has gone UP a dollar a gallon, so dirty Bush bastards gets to steal
$20 from every family in the country until a Democrat calls for hearings on his gouging.

A question that deserves an answer

Link

Excerpt:
"I want to ask George Bush: Why did my son die?'' -- Cindy Sheehan

Cindy Sheehan will get her wish to meet with Bush the day winged donkeys perform
an air show in the skies above the South Lawn. In other words, never.

In part this is because the president is famously intolerant of criticism and notoriously
fumble-tongued when working without a script, (Translation: Bush can't think or talk.)
so his handlers would rather chew glass than send him out to confront an angry protester
who knows exactly what she believes and why.
|
Sheehan's protest has galvanized opponents of the war, given face and voice to their anger
over a costly conflict whose resemblance to Vietnam is becoming inescapable. They have
coalesced around her, suggesting a movement that had only been waiting for a leader.

Yes - if only the Democrats had a leader. All we got was Kerry the Coward.
The pink tutu Democrats are wetting themselves with fear while this nobody Mom who's
$1200 overdrawn in her checking account proves what a coward the president is.

Sidebar to the Hillary haters:
Friday, Big Ed Schultz used the phrase I've been grappling for regarding Hillary.
He said "She's keeping her powder dry."

There may come a time when we have to "straighten out" Hillary, but I'm betting
she's got a plan to be president and it's hard for me to bet against a Clinton.

Why?
Because people who bet against the Clintons lose and I'm a better gambler than that.

Subject: Russell Crowe

I guess you folks missed the fact that this settlement never happened.
It was the Enquirer. There is no settlement.

It's my understanding that was an offer Crowe made the scratched.

In any event, no lawyer with half a brain would recommend that Crowe pay this.
The damages are minuscule. Punitive damages, if proven (and that would also be
very tough), wouldn't come anywhere near this amount.

The Supreme Court has regulated PD to be closely related to actual damages.
It's not like they'd be buying silence or anything.
Everybody knows this story.

Dave the Lawyer

Dave, Crowe is a "foreigner."
If convicted, he could be barred from America.
