"Reagan provided the stylistic model for Republican
leaders ever since he first ran: tough-talking, moral clarity, inspirational
rather than tactical in rhetoric, someone who will stand up to dangerous foreign enemies.
Bush fits in that model, and so does Rudy. This style and these attributes are as important,
if not more important, than particular issue stands to many voters."
-- a "TOP" GOP operative, as quoted by Rich Lowry, liar and whore Link
So they admit it's OK if Rudy is a cross-dressing, pro-gay, thrice-married,
pro-abortion gun-grabber, as long as he talks tough?
They want to win so bad, they'll line up behind "a
baby killer?"
Excerpt: There is no more effective way to short-circuit
democracy than to get large segments of the population to buy
into a made-up reality, while keeping other citizens
so uncertain of the truth that they are politically paralyzed.
When autocrats stage a coup, one of their first
actions is to grab control of the radio stations and close down
independent newspapers. In an advanced society
like the United States, that task is more daunting because
the seizure of media control must be done more
subtly and gradually.
Like the proverbial frog that would leap to safety
if tossed into a pot of boiling water but would die if the water
were slowly brought to a boil, the American people
have been lulled into lethargy, either not detecting or not
acting upon changes that were occurring in the
U.S. media and were eating away at the foundations of the Republic.
Now, only at this very late stage - as the Bush
administration, with the complicity of Congress and much of the
Washington news establishment, keeps turning
up the heat - more and more Americans are awakening to the
threat but remain unclear what to do.
"In South Carolina, a female supporter asked
McCain: "How do we beat the bitch?" McCain, trying to pass for presidential,
said: 'That's an excellent question.'"
-- Tim Grieve, Link
"Too often, patriotism is defined as endorsement
of any war launched by U.S. politicians. But true patriotism has a deeper meaning.
In some cases, it can impel conscientious Americans to try to prevent their country from plunging
recklessly into unnecessary combat that kills multitudes of people and costs billions of
taxpayer dollars. The Iraq mess is a supreme example."
-- Charleston Gazette Editorial, July
2004Link
In July 2004, we had "only" lost 867 soldiers.
The GOP is still protecting Der Shipanse - even at the cost of
three thousand additional dead soldiers.
If Bush is really controlling gas prices he's
doing a heckuva job
because we are paying $3 per gallon and the Brits
are paying eight per gallon.
Carson the trained Chimp
But the Brits get free health care - we pay $1000 a month for ours.
How much do you drive?
You're right about Bush doing a "heckuva job."
He's doing almost as good as "heckuva job" Brownie did after
Katrina.
Excerpt: While most people are lamenting the violence
in Pakistan, Burma, Iraq, etc., it's not enough bloodshed for Cheney.
Last month in a caravan of 15 sport utility vehicles,
Cheney made his way to Clove Valley Rod & Gun Club
for a day of controlled bloodletting. Like Cheney's
last visit, the club, which costs $150,000 a year to join,
was a fortress with Blackwater-style snipers
"protecting" the vice president's right to shoot tame birds.
So, like Bush, Cheney relaxes by killing the helpless - for his f-ing
amusement.
He gets away from the horror of his failed war by killing doves with
clipped wings.
He almost makes Bush's "frog-blasting" seem humane by comparison (not
a compliment).
Yet they attack us when we point out the obvious.
Remember when Rep Starke (sp?) said Bush & Cheney got wood from
violence?
The world came down on him, from all points left and right, but he
just told the truth.
How can you man-handicapp birds so powerful bastards like Cheney can
cut them down with bullets?
"You live by inevitability and die by inevitability." -- Barack Obama
campaign manager David Plouffe, arguing that an
Obama victory in Iowa could be the unraveling of the Hillary campaign,
Link
...and if Obama loses Iowa?
I predict he'll fly to New Hamster and say, "A
new day is upon us..."
Excerpt: "The war on terror" made me do it. That's the
excuse that works for George W. Bush to rationalize
his assaults on the rule of law, from arbitrary
arrest to torture. So why not try some war-on-terror
obfuscation to bail out his president-dictator
buddy over in Pakistan?
That's the card Bush played at his Saturday press
conference when he once again celebrated Musharraf as a
strong ally in the war on terrorism: 'If you're
the chief operating officer of al Qaeda, you haven't had a good experience.
There has been four or five No. 3s that have
been brought to justice one way or the other, and many of those folks
thought they had found safe haven in Pakistan.
And that would not have happened without Musharraf honoring his word.'
Excerpt: The Pentagon has launched a preventive strike
against Cheney's office. Thrusting back hard against his
warmongering, the head of U.S. forces in the
Mideast declared that an attack on Iran "is not in the offing,"
and more or less urged the vice president and
his political allies to shut up.
Adm. William Fallon, who heads the U.S. Central
Command, spoke in diplomatic tones, as top military officers
usually tend to do when they make strong political
statements. Yet there was no mistaking the admiral's message.
While Iran certainly poses a "challenge," he
said, we must engage Tehran to encourage changes in the regime's
behavior. But the Iranians won't "come to their
senses" while under threat of bombardment, invasion or worse.
"None of this is helped by the stories that just
keep going around and around that any day now there will be
another war, which is just not where we want
to go," he said with a degree of exasperation. "It seems to me
that we don't need more problems. It astounds
me that so many pundits and others are spending so much time
yakking about this topic [of war against Iran]."
So, if Cheney would just stop baiting Iran into a war we'd all be safer?
Admiral Fallon, where have you been the last six years?
Excerpt: It is Barack Obama's moment and here is how he
can make the most of it:
Lead a national mobilization and call to action
for an American commitment to our
troops and vets that surpasses anything done
in America since the Second World War.
By brilliance or fate, the most important speech
of the campaign was delivered by Obama
at the most important moment of the campaign,
the Iowa Democratic dinner.
What was powerful about the speech was that Obama
tapped into the momentous
sentiments defining the state of the union in
2007.
Americans are repulsed by both parties in Washington
and there is a deep and powerful
yearning for a politics that treats Americanism
as a statement of principle and not a war of polarization.
Americans are repulsed by the choice between a
corrupted, fear-driven and warmongering
party of what used to be conservatism versus
an incoherent, fearful and careerist party of
what used to be progressivism.
The Democrats who will decide the nomination believe
the great mandate of 2006 was
stolen by a president who disrespected it and
Democrats who lacked the courage to fight for it.

The following facts are not being reported by
the mainstream media:
* Hijacked airliners flew all
around the eastern U.S. for hours without any military response???
How could
Osama bin-Forgotten make our air force stand down, or did Cheney do that???
* The Pentagon was struck by
a "hijacked" airliner 45 minutes after two other "hijacked" airliners
struck the
WTC, without the airliner being intercepted, approached, chased, or even
seen by our air defenses?
* The Gov't still refuses to
release clear video of whatever happened at the Pentagon to this day, six
years later??? Why???
* The massive WTC-7 building
was 350 feet from the nearest tower, was not hit by a plane, yet it imploded
in
a controlled
demolition at 5:20 pm??? It housed many gov't offices, & the
over-insured owner said the building was "pulled." Why???
The Bush/Cheney regime is using 9/11 as a pretext
to brazenly subvert our U.S. Constitution, launch illegal invasions
of Afghanistan, Iraq, (Iran?), & grant
themselves dictatorial powers here at home! They have committed high
treason
& must be impeached & imprisoned while
we still have the Bill of Rights!
I urge everyone to watch "Loose Change" free on
the web for proof that 9/11 was an inside job!
Also Google terms like "911 truth" & visit
www.911truth.org & other patriotic sites!
Wake-up! Do your research & learn the facts
for yourself!
We must defend the Constitution, our nation,
& our freedoms now!

Another fact to remember: They took the audio tapes from the
control towers and cut them into
little pieces and put them in many different trash cans so nobody could
ever hear what was on them - why?
Why would innocent men need to cover their tracks?
"His wife wants to use him as a weapon in the
campaign, but still insist that it is she who is running, and not him. She wants to
appeal to a return to his policies, but still insists that she does not represent a third
term for the 42d president. She wants him on her resume until it's not convenient. Then
she pretends to be a feminist. They will keep playing this game for as long as it gets
them past the latest news cycle."

"Can the tech wizards at The Atlantic install

John, how could you be so stupid? Did you hire Bob Shrum?
You want to lead a party that you might not vote for -
are you kidding?
If you're not sure about voting Democrat next year, how can you ask
55 million people to?
Are you going to vote for Nader next year? Or do you plan to vote for
Giuliani?
John, this is a bigger-than-Texas mistake - how could you be so stupid?
Did you accidentally misspeak and, once it was out, you can't find
an escape?
John, take some of those millions you have laying around and hire me.
You could do a lot worse - and you are.
Quotes
"I wonder which of the Republicans John prefers
to Hillary..." -- Chris Dodd, pouncing on Edwards's extremely stupid
statement, Link
I clicked on the link with Senator Boxer's quote
because I never thought she was one of
those pants-wetters and I think you must have
read it too quickly and got the wrong impression:
* BARBARA BOXER * US Senator, on Congress' message to the
White House after * its override of a Bush veto on a controversial
water bill.
See, she said that their override of his veto
was their way of telling the spoiled boy-king
that he *can't* just keep rolling over them.
It's about time, too.
Regards,
Rochelle
Rochelle, you're right - the water bill was the one time they stood
up to Bush.
What threw me was, when you kick a bully's ass, you don't need to explain
why.
When you cave in to a bully, you're setting yourself up for more caving.
The Dems finally acted like the majority because the Republicans held
their hands.
"Hello Iowa. ...and hello, Chicago!" -- Joe Biden, on rumors that
Obama bussed in Chicago supporters
to
the Iowa Jefferson-Jackson Dinner, Link
I think I read that it's legal to bus in supporters from out of
state - isn't that crazy?
We need one set of rules to pick a president - not 50 sets of
rules, that's insane.
Maybe that's how God said he wants it so we have to keep it that
way?
The other night I was polled by phone. By
Democrats for something or other.
Everything went smoothly (marital status, definite
caucus-goer, etc) till this:
"Should Obama become the nominee, what cares
or concerns do you have?" "Should Edwards become the nominee, what cares
or concerns do you have" "From this list of concerns, pick the most
important should HRC become the nominee."
FROM THE DEMOCRATS!!!!
You are right again, my friend.
JimmyD
Jim, did you ever seee "Day of the Condor" with Robert Redford?
It was about a cell withing the CIA who decided to go "all in" and
get rich.
If the Democratic party big shots are openly sabotaging Hillary,
that would make them more stupid than even *I* think they are,
and considering how stupid I think they are, I just can't believe it's
true.
Shirley it's some semi-quasy-Democratic mini-caucus that's
making that bold/fatal move?
Maybe the best campaign question I've heard so far, from Chris Dodd,
no less is:
"I wonder which of the Republicans John Edwards
prefers to Hillary..."
It's like Chris Dodd reads bartcop.com!!!
Hey Democrats!
If you work against the overwhelming-favorite Democrat, when Fascist
Rudy takes the oath
and makes Bush look like f-ing Ramsey Clark, don't come up later asking,
"How'd that happen?"
"There are a lot of Americans who say, 'Why
didn't you go get Saddam?' Losing men and women as a result of sniper

have turned the tide of public opinion very quickly." -- Dubya, Veteran's Day 1997,
defending Poppy's decision not to remove Saddam, Link
"The gap between the rich and the poor is not
growing. It's a media myth. It's a liberal
myth." -- the vulgar Pigboy, telling silly,
clumsy lies that are easily refuted, Link
Butt Rush, how are the poor catching the super-rich?
Is it because Bush gave the super-rich billions is tax
cuts?
Is that how the poor caught up with them?
So, using Pigboy logic, the super-rich would gain if the poor
were given billions?
Like most ideologically impaired individuals,
David Milson fails to see the bare fact
that the war was illegal in the first place,
and that simply because deaths in Iraq daily
are down from 3000 to 600 per month at this point
doesn't mean that the country is peaceful.
The 3000 per month number was not the norm in
Iraq before we invaded.
Monkey mail? Why publish this idiot stuff?

Excerpt: The US military is experiencing a "suicide epidemic"
with veterans killing themselves
at the rate of 120 a week, according to an investigation
by CBS.
At least 6256 US veterans committed suicide in
2005 - an average of 17 a day - they said,
with veterans overall more than twice as likely
to take their own lives as the rest of the general population.
That figure rose to 22.9 to 31.9 suicides per
100,000 among veterans aged 20 to 24 - almost four times the non-veteran average for the age group.
"Those numbers clearly show an epidemic of mental
health problems,'' says vets advocate Paul Sullivan.
In 2000, Bush told the military hundreds of times, "Help
is on the way."
After he stole power, he lied thousands of soldiers into their graves
and tens of thousands
have lost their sight, their mental health, their limbs and their families
because of Bush greed,
but they still love him because his sex life has never been investigated.
If Clinton doesn't have "sex with that woman"
he campaigns for Gore and Gore wins the
election...which he did anyway. Clinton did the
single stupidest thing in Presidential history...
he gave the rightwing animals a real issue. That's
why he is the stupidest and worst President in history...
He begat the imbecile in the White House. He blew
the country and took it down.
How could he have possibly been so stupid. You'd
think his handlers would have found him women,
kept Hillary out of the loop... (not easy to
do)...or kill his libido with drugs that rendered him impotent.
What a fool. I voted for him twice, I'm a liberal
and have been on a Mylanta drip since the 2000 election.
It will take years to repair this country if
ever. If Hillary wins they'll take her apart every day like they did Bill.
The Dems are emotional eunuchs who wear diapers
to keep from soiling themselves when a Republican barks at them.
You have a terrific website.
Jack
Jack, I think his sex life was none of our business.
For all we know, every
president got BJs in the Oval Office
but Clinton was the only president investigated for that.
And remember, Clinton beat them twice, three times if you count impeachment,
and there's no doubt he could win a third term if the GOP hadn't made
that illegal.
> "It's a war without end. There is no light
at the end of the tunnel. We must reverse it."
Fuck you, Nancy. Fuck you. You are
one of the VERY FEW PEOPLE IN THIS WORLD
with the power to make something happen about
it. I can advocate for it, but you can do it.
Impeachment is off the table? What the
hell are we saving it for??
I say we should impeach you and Steny Hoyer and
go looking for some Dems with the balls
to put this country back on track. Obviously
you're not only it, but you have the temerity to
complain about the results of what you didn't
do.
