OCTOBER 21, 2004
Why would those who are profiting the most from 9-11 want to track down Bin
Laden??? 9-11 was made to order for BushCo, George Bush stated he had, “…hit
the trifecta!”, regarding the events of 9-11, it should make that clear for
everyone, they will not go after Bin Laden, nor will they actually fight an
effective war against terror, it goes against their own interests to do so…
Now we have to ask ourselves; “Are people who put their own personal gain,
and the advancement of a SECRET AGENDA, ahead of the lives of the American
people, worthy of being in power?” NO! With the Bushies there is not only
the “appearance” of impropriety, but mountains of evidence pointing to deeds
so evil that they defy belief. One of the most startling and irrefutable
pieces of evidence that I have seen are photographs which prove an airplane
never hit the Pentagon, then there are the thousands of statements, actions,
and slips of the tongue, coming at us on a daily basis which point in one
direction, yet no one wants to go there, because it defies belief to
imagine, that the President of the United States and those who put him in
the White House are guilty of involvement in the single most horrific act of
terrorism in modern history, orchestrated to allow them to go ahead with
their “Hidden Agenda”, complete world domination just being one aspect of
it… So “Agent TOM OSSMAN” aka Osama bin Laden will continue to go free and
they will continue to try to stifle dissent, cow us into submission, twist
the truth, and pull the wool over our eyes…. And dear reader have no doubt,
they will do, ABSOLUTELY ANYTHING, to stay in power…
God Help Us All !!!
JOHN KERRY and JOHN EDWARDS ALL THE WAY !!!!!!!!
THIS BLOG HAS GIVEN ME HOPE...FOR MOST OF MY LIFE I STRUGGLED FOR THE
AMERICAN DREAM BUT AS ONE OF THE DISENFRANCHISED BECAME DISSILUSSIONED WITH
MY COUNTRY, A COUNTRY I HAVE FOUGHT FOR AND WHICH I LOVED ENOUGH TO SPEND
MORE THAN A DECADE TRAVELLING AND VISITING ITS EVERY CORNER, AFTER YEAR
AFTER YEAR OF DEALING WITH RACISM, SANCTIMONIOUS HOLIER-THAN-THOU
CONSERVATIVE IDEOLOGY AND WHAT I SEE AS A SYSTEM WHICH, UNDER REPUBLICAN
RULE, HAS BECOME FASCIST, I LEFT...THIS BLOG HAS GIVEN ME HOPE IN THE
AMERICAN PEOPLE, I KNEW THAT THERE WERE OTHERS LIKE ME, WHO FELT THAT THE
DIRECTION OUR COUNTRY WAS HEADED WAS WRONG BUT UNTIL I STARTED BLOGGING
HERE, UNTIL WE WERE GIVEN THIS OUTLET TO ACTUALLY POSE OUR VIEWS UNDER THE
MAN WHO MUST BECOME THE NEXT PRESIDENT, I HAD NO IDEA AS TO THE NUMBERS, THE
DIVERSITY, AND THE CHARACTER OF THOSE WHO SHARE MY VIEWS...THIS BLOG HAS
MADE ME PROUD TO CALL MYSELF AMERICAN AGAIN...AND PROUD TO BE A DEMOCRAT,
AND A LIBERAL....SO THANK YOU MR KERRY YOU HAVE GIVEN ME AND MY FAMILY
HOPE....
FROM ANOTHER SMALL VOICE IN THE FOREST...
JOHN KERRY ALL THE WAY !!!!!
In 22 days, 20 hours, and 33 minutes we will say bye to the "Mis-Administration
of Lies", I just wonder when the prosecution for the persecution “befraught”
on the population of not only our country but the world, will be properly
pursued…
JOHN KERRY/JOHN EDWARDS ALL THE WAY !!!
IT”S ABOUT TIME TRUTH SAW, THE CLEANSING LIGHT OF DAY !!!!
I was extremely disappointed in Bush, after all this was supposed to be his
strong point, but listening to him I felt sorry for him, he was so human;
first becoming flustered, then seeming confused, and even seemed on the
brink of flying into a rage. I actually thought at one point he would just
tell Mr. Kerry to go Cheney himself and leave the stage. Mr. Bush was so
sure that what he has been doing was right that to me he appeared cocky and
extremely defensive. He did a good job of trying to paint Mr. Kerry as
someone who sends “mixed messages”, but it was clear the argument was
hollow, and of himself as someone with, “steadfast resolve, no matter what!”
He did not present anything new other than his steadfastness in pursuing his
failed policies. His mangled simplistic use of the English language was also
extremely irritating to listen to, but it is part of his charm and helps him
to gain the sympathy he so desperately needs. These qualities made me feel
sorry for him but in light of his record and off all the people who have
died, quite frankly, he made me sick. Sure his steadfast resolve “no matter
what” and his aw shucks fabricated twanging way of talking have some appeal,
but they are not the qualities I want in a President! I think the American
people agreed.
Mr. Kerry on the other hand showed quiet strength, dignity, composure,
intelligence, restraint, diplomacy, and a serious command of the issues, all
lacking in Bush. The substance and thoughtfulness of his words seemed a
breath of fresh air compared to Bush’s tired old hollow rhetoric. I think
that even the Bush supporters came away saying of Mr. Kerry, “Now that is a
President!” even though their support was mostly unchanged. Listening to
callers on C-Span after the debate I was struck by several callers who
supported Bush, they called Mr. Kerry “President Kerry”, two of these
individuals did not even realize that they had said that. I think it is
pretty clear no matter what camp you belong to, after watching or listening
to the debate Mr. Kerry obviously has all the Presidential qualities that
Bush is severely lacking in. Mr. Kerry instilled a feeling of comfort,
trust, and intelligent competence, and the feelings of pity I came away with
for Bush pale in comparison. Mr. Kerry’s statements about Iraq, Korea, and
the way our allies have been ostracized by Bush’s policies, made it clear
that he will give America and Americans their dignity and position back on
the world stage. He obviously is ready to pursue a new direction using
diplomacy and the help of our allies that will bring about peace.
I think it is very clear, if we want to continue to live in a world of
terror and fear, where the US is a pariah then we can resolutely stick with
Bush, if we want our dignity, security and peace back we can welcome a man
who already has shown he is fit for the job, who cares, and is intelligent
enough to weigh his options, listen and process new information when making
decisions, and make the right choices, not only for himself and his “base”
but for all of us.

RN4Kerry at September 29, 2004 05:15 PM
He "Mr. Kerry" (is) GREAT....I know I am not alone in feeling that he may be
one of the greatest Presidents in the history of the USA, his deeply
intelligent grasp of the world we live in, his integrity, his wisdom, his
steadfast resolve in the face of adversity, his intelligence and caring for
the common man and for the future, and his sincere and deep commitment to
the values and the nobler human qualities that we all strive for, not only
as Americans but as human beings, all of these things give me, and others,
hope and faith in Mr. Kerry....And hey, you gotta admit, his chiseled
features would look great up there on mount Rushmore...

We are engaged, I believe, in a war against evil, against something so black
the outcome will affect the world for centuries.
The current situation in the US already falls within the definition of
fascism, I don't think it is a coincidence that people with Nazi connections
in their past are coming into power....sazzylady11 on September 16, 2004
05:44 PM...What I am afraid of is the fact that they, "The Shadow
Government", already have plans in place for taking complete power, clauses
in the Patriot Act, and the powers held by FEMA alone are enough, scenario
permitting, to outright cancel the Constitution and allow them an unfettered
hand to do as they wish. It will only take one significant "terrorist" act
and we will all be "shadow prisoners", there are plans already in place... I
just hope we are strong enough to stop them...I know I for one, will not go
down without a fight... Thank God we are not alone..."Divided We Stand,
United We Fall"
JOHN AND JOHN !!!!
A BRAVE NEW DAWN !!!!
The man responsible for 9-11 is sitting in the White House laughing at us as
we speak, endlessly smirking as they continue to use the mass murder of our
fellow Americans for their own gains
The man responsible for 9-11 is sitting in the White House laughing at us as
we speak, endlessly smirking as they continue to use the mass murder of our
fellow Americans for their own gains...
9-11 would not have happened if George Walker Bush had not been placed in
the White House and you can be one hundred percent certain, if he remains
there, the terror will continue, and we will be attacked again...Wherever we
are....
Dick Chicanery was right recently when he told supporters in Iowa that
there's a danger the United States will be attacked again "if we make the
wrong choice...” that choice is George Bush...

wellington at September 3, 2004 08:00 PM
I think he should be:
1. Impeached
2. Tried for crimes against humanity.
3. Tried for election fraud, embezzlement, profiteering, tax-evasion,
murder, treason, obstruction of justice, etc., etc..
4. Along with all his pillaging buddies made to pay restitution to the
families of all who have lost loved ones due to his negligent, self-serving
warmongering actions...
Since you have been foolish enough to bring up PRESIDENT GORE troglo-troll,
here are a few fun and interesting facts for you:
1. If President Gore had not been usurped; 9-11, Iraq and the other 9
million disasters that Smirky-Chimp has wrought on us would never have
happened.
2. He had more experience serving as Vice-President for one day, than
crap-for-brains had in his entire, failed, over-privileged life.
9-02-2004
Mr. Kerry wouldn't have pranced around, screaming "Mission Accomplished"
waving plastic turkeys and telling Islamic fanatics to "Bring 'em on!"
showing complete callous, criminally negligent disregard for the men and
women in harms way and causing more death and hatred of Americans than any
other man in US history. Mr. Kerry wouldn’t have tried to hide the deaths
the men and women making the ultimate sacrifice for our country. Mr. Kerry
wouldn’t have sold the American dream down river for generations to come.
Mr. Kerry wouldn’t have sat in a classroom with a dumb ass clueless look
while we were being attacked. Mr. Kerry wouldn’t have helped the family and
associates of Bin Laden escape the country. Mr. Kerry wouldn’t have had
business dealings with the Bin Ladens, nor have lain down with Saudi oil
men. Mr. Kerry would not have shamelessly profited off terror, nor created
more terrorists than any Bin Laden could have dreamed of.
Then again if Bush the gutless smirking chimp and his gang of worthless
immoral thugs had not stolen the last election and committed a modern day
American coup de ’tat, 9-11 would not have happened, Iraq would not have
happened, ten of thousands of people would still be with us, we could still
be proud to be Americans in the face of the world, and the nation would be
basking in economic bliss enjoying life and moving forward. Instead we are
supposed to live in some Orwellian alternate universe kept in check by fear
and intimidation, cowed into servile submission by constant threats of
heinous acts being brought down upon us by unseen, heretofore non-existent
entities all the while being raped of our rights and robbed into poverty so
that his cursed and putrid “base” can continue to reap wealth and live high
off the hog on the backs of the poor and meek.

I wanted to post this on the last thread but as it just finished up, I
thought I'd post it here.
As for the smears, that is all they have! They have nothing more. We must
educate people who buy into their dirty propaganda
There is no way that George W will do anything at all, neither to bring the
price of oil down nor to put an end to the myriad ways and forms that the
power elite have devised to reap wealth off the blood and sweat of common
Americans, for those profiting from terror, fear, and death and from oil and
weapons, are, as he so smugly put it, his base.
GW Smirky "poster boy for the Bin Ladens", did not move into action when we
were attacked on 9-11, and there is no way on earth he will be inclined to
move into action now, at risk would be his entire philosophy of recklessly
using those at the bottom as cannon fodder and as the means to ensure that
he and "his" remain comfortable and living high off the hog. The burdens he
has brought onto the backs of Americans for generations to come are not a
concern to him, the American people, especially those who are poor and
suffering the most, are a distraction to him, as long as he is in power it
will be thus. He has done more than any man in history to ensure that the
rich get richer and the poor get poorer, and it doesn't matter to him if
they happen to be Saudis or terrorists.
He has caused the loss of tens of thousands of innocent civilian lives, for
oil profits, he has ensured that the US has the undying hatred of Muslims
the world over, for oil profits, he has caused the loss of close to four
thousand American lives, for oil profits. Can anyone honestly, even for a
second, consider that he would actually do something to lower the profit
margin?
How can they be beat? We could all stop driving our cars. That would bring
the whole thing down. I know it won’t happen, but just think....

This Administration from the day it took power had its sights set on Iraq,
it needed a reason and had justifiable cause, the record will show to go as
far as being involved in the events of September 11, in order to propagate
the needed support for an invasion which was illegal, unnecessary, and would
never have been supported by the world community. It is public knowledge
that Saddam tried to negotiate and actually acquiesced to US demands in the
days before the invasion but GWB would have no part in dealing with the
problem diplomatically. In light of the facts, all part of the public
record, GWB is guilty of launching an unprovoked war of aggression, costing
the lives of tens of thousands for his own ends and heinous abuses of power.
He needs to be tried under international and federal law, and removed from
office as soon as possible. That is tantamount.
JOHN KERRY ALL THE WAY !!!!
August6, 2004
We are living in some Orwellian parallel universe. This can not be the
America I grew up in. People are actually afraid that their President could
have complicity in launching terrorist attacks on our own shores. People are
actually debating whether the man who holds the highest office could
manipulate terror alerts for political expediency, people openly discuss
facts, (FACTS!!), pertaining to the president which are obviously felonious
in nature. His blatant impropriety and disregard for human lives is a daily
talking point, his own twisted henchmen are parting his side, he is out of
control and drugged. He has ruined the country, the environment, the
economy, the educational system, diplomatic relations, has burned
intelligence operatives, has killed tens of thousands, launched a war of
aggression, the list goes on and on, and then there are the daily lies,
LIES, AND MORE LIES. Running Bush out on a rail is not enough! Winning the
election is not enough. We are supposedly a nation of laws, he is defiling
our very system if he continues to be “ABOVE THE LAW”, he must be tried
impeached and made to pay for everything he has done, if not we all have
been defeated and do not deserve anything better…Radical thinking? I beg to
differ, remember the screams about Clinton’s little affair, how much did we
pay for that? $40 million? Bush should be impeached; he should be made to
account for what he has done…. He has hurt the country, anyone who has taken
an oath to protect the constitution and to protect our country should be up
in arms not sitting placidly by and defend us against this man…and I don’t
mean all you wonderful people involved in bringing about an end to the
mockery he has made of the office of president… I mean all the congressmen,
and senators, and public servants, who are themselves complicit in their
silence in bringing about the end of our nation….I know my comments may be
extreme but I think I am being realistic, and I have not and will not sit by
and watch quietly as this mockery of an administration continues to defile
the very idea, the very heart of what should be America…..
Wonderful to see the stupendous turnouts, people are beginning to wake up
and realize what we have know from the start, in John Kerry lies the hope
and the future of our country, for all of us....Sad comments on the
Church....It is against doctrine to judge in such a manner and to refuse
communion, which signifies the body of Christ, to those who are humbly
wishing to partake of it, thus allowing Jesus into their hearts and
lives...Just as Muslim extremists have twisted Islam so have Neo-Cons
manipulated and defiled the Catholic Church. Maybe I am wrong, being
agnostic it is very possible, but I doubt it....As for the attacks on Mr.
Kerry, that's "ESTEEMED Senator from Massachusetts" to you Snarly and
Smirky, they can just go and SHOVE IT, it is a shame the way some people
will do anything for a buck, I am talking about the three stooges who have
been deriding Mr. Kerry military service, yet what is unbelievable for me is
that with all their "wads" they still can't find anyone who is willing to
vouch for one day of Smirky McAWOL's ,"claimed", military service. Something
reeks to high heaven, in Denmark.....The pictures are great such a
tremendous contrast to Emperor Shrub’s “Free Speech Zones”…..Fabulously
splendiferous turn-outs…..Ya wanna know what I think? I think Bush Boy’s
days are numbered no matter what he tries, except for, maybe, voting machine
rigging again, because, ya know what? The American people are onto him….

What a criminally negligent, self-serving, treasonous, backpedaling,

deceitful, racist, evil, and (no caj***s) administration
Not necessarily in that order
Mr AWOL does not apologize, he places blame on others, he tries to re-write
history, he tells more lies. It takes a man to admit being wrong, and quite
frankly, he doesn't have the caj***s, (Spanish) to do so.

BRING IT ON !!!!!!
If things don’t change our country will, for the worse…The end perhaps….
Straddling the country with debt and profiteering on the blood of our
country men, "the illegal regime of George Walker Bush", has redefined the
USA as a country where the rich will not only get richer but will do so
remorselessly by throwing the struggling poor into utter destitution and
then send them off to die so that even more profits are made. They have
ransacked and pilfered, and sucked the economy dry, taking money and
resources away from every source imaginable, strapping future generations
with debt while they, they have mores, comfortably count their bloody money,
ensured of a comfortable future. We must take back what is ours so that our
children have the chance of having any kind of future, even a modest one.
They must not be allowed to continue to profit from the blood and pain, the
sweat and tears, of the poor and the struggling…..It must be stopped….For
the future of America is at stake….This country was built on sweat and tears
and hard work, it was built by individuals escaping tyranny, people with
dreams and hopes, who brought with them a vision of a new tomorrow, of a
bright future, in forging our great country they made sure that all of us
would have the opportunity to make our dreams come true, through hard and
diligent work and steadfast determination so that their children and their
children’s children would not have to suffer the pain and the humiliation
nor have to go through the struggles through which they had gone, but
something has gone terribly wrong, there are forces at work here who want to
take all of that away, who are in fact doing just that. They are evil and
selfish, shortsighted and possessing of immeasurable greed and unquenchable
thirst for power, power which they have unjustly taken and want to hold on
to, but we, we the working sons and daughters of America must stand up, we
must fight back, before they force us to be nothing but slaves in their
Orwellian system with their Machiavellian manipulations of what for many of
us is still, “the American Dream”. We must unite, we must fight back and we,
the masses, the fiber and soul of this great country must stand up to their
lies and the terror they have brought down on us and say STOP!!! We are not
going to take it anymore. We want our country back, we want our hope back,
we want our dreams back……We will get them back….
Wow, was I inspired or what? Wish I could write like that all the time…
JOHN KERRY ALL THE WAY !!!!
JOHN KERRY FOR A NEW DAY !!!
Heard that Rove is planning to reduce the number of debates to (1) , and
having chicanery and the chimp teamed up against Mr. Kerry, that's "Esteemed
Senator From Massachusetts" to you Smirky. Any truth to this...
Roy LaPlante at August 4, 2004 06:05 AM
Thanks to Bill's style and diplomacy we were safe for eight years...It was
that which kept the fanatics at bay.....Bring 'em on...Has killed tens of
thousands...But I agree with you on the soft responses to the questions
posed....He should have torn into Bush...I would have, but then again....He
is an intelligent man...they are probably saving the strong stuff for
later...closer to election time...Patiently biding their time.
Calculating...Then like a tidal wave we are going to send the Bushies
running with their tales between their legs...Smirky screaming and fighting
every step of the way as he is removed from the White House...Can't wait....
Love the photos of Mr. Kerry...By the way does Mr. Kerry have a title we can
use? Like the Honorable John Kerry? I can think of my own, like Mr. "Hope
for the World" Kerry......Love the pictures...Mr. Kerry is so in touch...So
with it...It is humbling to watch him...I see greatness in every nuance,
every gesture...A class act...Only the substance behind what I see could
project the visage of greatness he exudes...Not a touch of arrogance...His
chiseled features look like they should be carved into Mount Rushmore....

Any intelligent truly conservative republican will see that this time their
coice is a no brainer...The utter failure of the Bush, raid the treasury,
skyrocket the deficit (Why not the kids will pay?), line our pockets while
the getting is good, fiscal agenda should make it clear to the real
"conservatives" who the only choice should be...We were doing pretty well
under Clinton, without all the negativity add-ons if you ask me. Any real
conservative should be able to understand that if the country is strong and
ALL the people prosper it will only help all of us...Even the upper two
percent......I call my vision "Trickle Up Economics", may be nonsense but
who knows...
July 30, 2004
When people talk about freedom of the press these days it almost makes me
laugh...With that freedom comes the immense responsibility to bring the
masses un-biased factual reporting, in my opinion any organization which
tries to temper their reporting with biased partisanship should be flagged
and fined....I remember when there was such a thing as integrity....We
should all mount a campaign against media manipulation by the
neo-fascists.....
The "Neo-Fascist Propaganda Machine" I mean the Press is up to the same
dirty tricks....I haven't checked all of the news outlets but AP's story
with so many "was to haves" in it made it look as if nothing happened. Now
Bush's planned capture of an "important" terrorist, remember him telling
them (Pakistanis) he wanted Bin Laden by the election, is attempting to
steal attention from Mr. Kerry...I am nauseous...What they are doing should
be against the law, using "terror" to advance their own ends. Who are the
real terrorists here?
Canadian
"Things are improving now in Iraq!" an idiotic statement any way you look at
it, were it true it would mean returning sovereignty helped, since it's not,
well...How can you expect a man guilty of election fraud to tell the truth
anyway?
The bald faced lies, hypocrisy, spin, and treachery is only going to get
worse before the election...
Just looked at the Bush site, I think even shrub is a fan; there are so many
pictures of Mr Kerry. Read the Latino stuff, they must think Latinos are
stupid, what did he call us "Hispanolos" if I recall his moniker, well after
getting sick reading the crap on his site I have one thing to say, using
Mrs. Kerry's words GWB "Shove It!!!!!", you have ignored us from the
beginning, you have insulted and demeaned us with your racist agenda and now
you want our votes "Shove it !!!" Blah, GAG " strong work ethic (500 days
off), personal responsibility (Zero), faith in God (He will burn in Hell),
smaller government (Orwellian in dimension and scope), and a strong sense of
community (You are my base). Those are the same values that President Bush
stands for (F*** Off).

If I could write anything I wanted to the future first lady it would be
this:
Mrs. Kerry,
Your comments are uplifting and your message is loud and clear. I for one,
and I know this is true for millions of others, am behind you and your
husband all the way. It will be only for the betterment of the world to have
such an intelligent, eloquent, and just person as yourself keeping 1600
Pennsylvania in order. If behind every great man there is a great woman then
I applaud you and congratulate you on the fine job you have done with your
great family and on your poise and grace under pressure.
With the Utmost Respect,
JAR II

Jennifer what would you do if you were raped and got pregnant. God forbid
that happening to anyone, or if you accidentally got pregnant from a guy you
had no intention of staying nor whose child you wanted....Would you in your
goose-stepping way carry it to term and forever hate the child you had born
raising a dysfunctional individual who would become a danger to society, for
example.....I can't stand sanctimonious ditto-heads like you who jump on the
abortion band-wagon, enough already when there are real issues in the
world....As a man I say that abortion, the tragedy that it is, is a woman's
personal choice and should remain that way...It is legal, leave it
alone...How dare you even utter anything about Mr. Kerry's Medals shrub the
chicken hawk was AWOL...As for you addressing the future first lady as THK,
that's ma’am to you...Crawl back whence you came....

JOHN KERRY ALL THE WAY !!!
I love all the pictures circulating on the propaganda, I mean news, sites of
Mr. AWOL on a mountain bike riding on his private paved road on his raunch,
I mean ranch. He looks so focused trying to keep the darn thing upright! And
the helmet! What is he protecting! It epitomizes shrub and his presidency,
on vacation, showcasing, all the time making claims to be good at something
he is not, he keeps crashing his bike, but tries to cover it up by saying he
rides hard. Just like everything else he keeps screwing up and then claims
he is doing a good job at...On vacation, riding a mountain bike, which he
has crashed several times, on a private road, mindful of his own safety,
concentrating ever so intently on just staying upright! Inspirational! If it
was my ten year old son maybe, I don't want to see, what passes for our
President, "taking it easy", on vacation again, when there are so many
pressing and urgent problems in the world. As a former professional cyclist,
I would rather see him charging down some ravine at top speed, helmetless
pouring sweat from every pore than the ridiculous bicycle safety spokesman
type image I have seen on the net. To know he has crashed several times and
injured his poor vwittle self does not inspire me...But that is the Rovian
way, when there is no positive, accentuate the negative, twist it a little,
and shove it down the throats of the masses...Having already spent over 500
days on vacation, failed at everything he has done...except dividing the
nation and putting the country's future on a nosedive to hell, seeing him
intently riding his vwittle mountain bike, scares me. Give the man a
pretzel, a six pack of bud and let's send him on a permanent vacation, he
can bake what passes for his brain in the Texas sun till the cows come
home...Just like daddy Bush and his famous sky-dive, all the publicity! And
then it turned out he was strapped to a professional. Sorry Bushies, no guts
no glory. I remember my first jump, I made my friends lie and told them I
had jumped before so I could do it alone, that was something. I have had it
with the plastic turkeys, the empty bravado, the unapologetic arrogant way
they have caused so much death and pain, never once showing remorse or
gratitude for the sacrifices made….You know what would be fitting?…If when
Bush is evicted from 1600 Pennsylvania Ave. he is not allowed to take
Saddam’s pistol with him..Now that I would pay to watch…
JOHN KERRY/JOHN EDWARDS THE REAL DEAL !!!!

Why???
Posted by: wild_salmon
Why? Because blacks and minorities do not fit in to the fascist agenda. They
are acceptable only if they have oil-tankers named after them, are filthy
rich or can be used easily.
Many of you have posted expressing frustration with the press. Let us not
forget that one of the first things Bush did was to put a muzzle on the
press and on free speech. His embedded reporters, his" Not with me then you
are a terrorist" policies, his effective use of censorship under the cloak
of "National Security", his economic sanctions against news outlets who
don't tow his line, the list goes on. When it takes a guy like Michael Moore
to have to make a film to document truths that are monumental in their scope
and depth, truths that the press has al but ignored, it makes you wonder
where the responsibility of the press has gone. The press is supposed to
report facts, not try to shape political opinion.
If Senator Kerry is going to win in November he must play by the same rules
Bushco is playing by and use the press effectively. I think the press has
become a tool for the right wing, not all news outlets, but most. This has
been the case for years. Look what they did to Clinton?
There should be laws against news organizations involving themselves in
politics at any level. Yet when the almighty dollar and sales rule editorial
decision making there can be no way to trust the press. Maybe we know that
but Joe-Blow-Working-Stiff may not, when upon coming home exhausted and
putting his dogs up looking for something to watch inadvertently catches
three minutes of news on Fox and believes whatever they spew at him. After
all most of us were brought up to trust the press, and many believe that if
something is printed it must be true. People don't have the time to research
and question besides it would make many uncomfortable to even consider the
possibility that the press is spewing nothing but propaganda and spin,
carefully designed to manipulate and shape public opinion and thought.
Have a good one.

Hello all. Always nice to read something uplifting, which seems to only be
possible on this blog. Maybe I am exaggerating, maybe not. Not wanting to be
a downer, I thought I might throw my two cents into the discussion anyway as
I think my point (IRAN) is worthy of scrutiny. I have subscribed to the
theory for some time that Bushco will pull Bin Laden out of a hat in
October, there has been plausible evidence floating around the Internet for
months regarding the fact that he has already been captured and is being
kept hidden until a politically expedient time when AWOL needs him. That has
been one of my theories as to what Shrub will do to try to save his sinking
mis-administration in October; my other theories involve various terrorist
attack scenarios, which lead me to the point of my post. As a voracious news
addict, I keep my ear to the ground and am seeing signs that awol, in his
megalomanic lust to be a war president is laying the stage for an invasion
of Iran, if they stage a terrorist attack, throw Bin Laden into the
equation, taking him out in the process, and are able to raise panic levels
high enough it may be possible to delay, even stop the upcoming election by
calling up the marshal law clause of the Patriot Act and seizing complete
power. Sound paranoid? Maybe. Plausible? Unfortunately yes.
It's long past time to pull weeds, shrub(s) as well, and do some serious
housecleaning.

MBK I think that thread was one of my favorites, touching on a subject that
at once divides and unites us all. The very fact that we are here, that we
are conscious and aware is in it self a true and wondrous miracle,
scientifically speaking the chances of us even existing are astronomical.
As for the current thread, it is just another example of the pathological
"passing the buck" that is the trademark of this mis-administration,
foregoing responsibility and integrity for political expediency and
smokescreens.
Oust the Fascists
JOHN KERRY ALL THE WAY !!!
John a fan of "THE MAN"
Oust the Fascists
It looks like the Republicans still believe, and this mis-administration in
particular, that if you spin lies long enough and often enough people will
buy into them, if Mr. Chicanery has evidence that he is withholding it just
follows what has been the edict of this, the most secretive administration
in the history of the US. The very fact that he has chosen to follow that
line shows that the neo-cons are desperate and grasping at straws and
invisible threads, in an attempt to save their sinking ship. Thank god that
the American people have finally woken up and are fighting back. I hope that
Mr. Kerry and Mr. Edwards can make the US, the respected and admired world
power and leader that it deserves to be. In being the shining example of
what freedom and democracy was the US by its very strength and morality led
the world by example, and gave hope to peoples the world over. Bush has
destroyed all that, and it must be restored, forcing people to respect us
for our might and out of fear will only breed hatred, and more of what we
have seen in the last few years. I hope, I have hope, that we will once
again be able to walk freely anywhere in the world and proclaim that we are
Americans without fearing for our very lives, for this is the legacy which
George Walker Bush has left us. I hope that Mr. Kerry will be the wise and
tempered President that we need, without a doubt he is the hope for all of
the disenfranchised Americans and the poor huddled masses yearning to
breathe free. A daunting task lies ahead and we must all do our part to
support him. I thank you for reading my words and excuse myself for being so
long-winded. JOHN AND JOHN ALL THE WAY !!!!!

Sattva said:Putin is foolish for meddling in the US election.
Sattva, if you would all turn off your Russia-bias and read the facts with
an objective eye you would see that this and many other statements you have
made are false.
Putin is very cleverly giving GB enough rope to hang himself, while at the
same time giving him what appears to be a concession but is in fact another
Pandora's box which Bush may open. (I hope none of the neo-cons are reading
this, it might give them ideas.) As for being foolish this administration
has set back US-RUSSIA relations by almost ten years. Shrub calling Vladimir
Putin (pooty-poot), blocking Russian participation in rebuilding Iraq, and
dozens of other actions have not made the US very loved here. So Putin, in
aligning with general European sentiment and in continuing his stance
against the Invasion is guaranteeing Russia's safety at home and soothing
Muslim hatred for Russia. Very, very well done if you ask me. I feel much
safer here, under such policies than I do anywhere near Bush-land.
Have a nice day, and goodnight from MOSCOW.

I don't think anyone was, but you. I mean it is great that we all LOVE Mr.
Kerry, but I keep seeing these great ideas thrown out which are worthy of
debate and everyone goes off in other directions. Maybe it is the fact that
finally many have found a place where they can express their ideas and their
discontent without fearing the Bush Gestapo, and/or everyone has so much
bottled up against Bush that they just want to be heard. Maybe we are the
ones missing something? Maybe I should go to bed, it is 5:30 in the morning

Ron, never mind I lost my head; we are Democrats, free-thinkers, and freedom
lovers. That would be so, like repugnant, I mean fascist, no wait I mean
repukeblican.
I was waxing sentimental about my college days, trying to get by on $20 a
week for groceries, working nights in a convalescent hospital, and finally
having to drop out right before I was due to get my degree. I wonder how
many other people were affected that way. Of course that was way back when
the minimum wage was $3.35 an hour. I was thinking, you know, if there are
thousands of people in that situation, that would mean an increase would not
only help raise the standard of living for those at the bottom but their
educational levels as well, which could only lead to many other positive
effects. Kind of "trickle-up economics" scenario, if I may coin the phrase.
Anyway, have a greeeeaaat day!!

Not only have Bush's ads been misleading, his entire unearned, unjust,
barely legal occupation of the White House has been misleading since day
one. As for name calling I think George Bush has proven himself to be an
uninterested, inexperienced, uncaring, crass, unfeeling, and quite frankly
disgraceful president who has caused the deaths of thousands and ruined the
image of the US worldwide. His administration and he himself have been
guilty of violations of law and ethics on such a scale that it defies
belief. Topping the list would be exposing undercover operatives, profiting
from terror, unjustifiably starting an aggressive war in order to profit
even more, destroying the economy, the ecology, and the rights of all
Americans, ignoring international law, and these are just a few of the
things that we know about! Name calling? Bush needs not be called names his
record speaks for itself. Jeff. As for the economy, I find it hard to
believe any figures coming out of this administration, they can not even
report on terror, their sacred cow, correctly. How can any American person
possibly even consider voting for such a man? He can not even put coherent
sentences together. Unbelievable!
06-02-2004
When Clinton was president and during the Reagan years it seemed, according
to the republicans, that anyone who held public office or was in a position
of authority should not be allowed to continue their jobs or hold office if
anything that could be construed or even hinted at being an impropriety came
to light in their dealings or even in their personal lives. Cheney's
dealings, his professional conduct, his relationships with principals in
dozens of questionable deals, and his, along with this administrations,
continued flaunting of their own lack of adherence to every law and ethical
precept which should govern their behavior and professional conduct, calls
for one response, impeachment.
When we look at the ties that the Bush clan and Cheney have to the military
industrial complex, it would seem to any reasonable person, that this should
have prevented them from ever holding office. I personally find too many
inconsistencies in this administration and too many instances, in the
hundreds, where the legality, motives, and ethics of their actions can be
questioned, and I am personally left with the conclusion that it is a
travesty that they are allowed to continue holding office, even for another
hour. Impeachment would be the least that should happen but no one else
seems bothered enough to bring this up.
On an emotional note, what really burns me up, I mean my just blood boils,
when I think what they did to Bill Clinton over a personal indiscretion, and
how we are supposed to just sit by as the "man", Mr. AWOL, who took us into
an unjustifiable war, and may have been involved in the worst attack on
Americans in history, sits comfortably at his ranch throwing insults at a
real veteran and statesman like John Kerry, and we are supposed to just sit
passively by and take it because they are "conservatives" and if we don't we
may be taken away and never heard from again because we can be labeled as
terrorists. Jeez, am I ranting? What has happened to the U.S. ????
Anyway, you all have a great day; it has been an honor to post here.

Kick their "derry" Mr. Kerry! If things get hairy you can count on Kerry! To

Kerry Blog
Comment: Not having the time to go over all of the entries on this and
previous threads I apologize if this has been mentioned before but I found
it extremely interesting and in light of shrub's miserable debate
performances it only goes one step further in showing what a complete
imbecile Smirky must really be. It appears reasonable to believe he was
wired directly to Karl Rove during the debates.
Take a gander at:
SEE:
cryptome
The stinking weasel who can not form coherent sentences in even unable to
do so when he is wired directly to Karl Rove.
SEE: BUSH
The same situation is observed regarding the ridge that runs from bulge across this right shoulder blade and over his collar bone. Despite his movements the ridge does not move relative to his body, but the suit coat moves relative to it. This element behaves almost identically to the bulge between his shoulder blades and it also appears to be something close fitting and likely secured to his oxford shirt or undershirt.
Additionally, his shoulder blades, collar bone, and spine are not printing
properly through his clothing and his clothing is not hanging properly on
his frame. This appears to be caused by several milli-meters of stiff
ballistic fabric being worn close to his body in the form of soft body
armor.
George Herbert Walker Bush
and two other partners owned Pennzoil Motor Co at the time it acquired
9.2% of Chevron. In fact, it is quite possible that the Bush family
fortune including controlling interest in a company called CalTex, which
held the exclusive contract worth hundreds of billions of dollars to
distributre 100% of all oil pumped by the old Saudi Aramco, throughout the
entire planet. (which was Texaco/Amaco/Shell etc. before OPEC took over).
When OPEC took over..CALTEX keep handling most of the global distribution
for the OPEC member nations. Very lucrative...the largest in the history
of the World...especially if you are an Arbusto! If the Bush family did in
fact own CalTex, Bush, Sr. disclosure of a net worth of only $3.0 Million
at the time he assumded the Presidency was a fraud. That means George
Bush's dad owns a controlling interest in Chevron. Chevron subsequently
purchased Gulf and Texaco and now operates as ChevronTexaco, regardless of
the oil-soaked media's attempt to call it "Unocal", which no longer
exists.
None of this makes sense unless you keep in mind that "Chevron" was the
primary contractor for "UN Food for Oil" Catastrophe. That means that
every bribe and completed only further engorged "Chevron's" profits. Keep
in Mind also that Paul Bremer was working with Kissinger & Associates,
representing Chevron during its' successful contract negotiatons with the
Taliban leaders in the Pakistani Government in l998. The Contract required
the Taliban to provide security for the Caspian Sea Pipeline link that
travelled through Pakistan and Afghanistan. I Understand that Chevron made
a down payment of approx $140. to the Pakistani Govt but my info may be
outdated. When Clinton hit the Afgans in l998, there is a rumor that he
was actually trying to submarine Chevron negotiations with the Taliban,
who by then had permitted bin Laden to destoy the embassies in Africa. So,
in a nutshell, connecting the dots with Condoleeza Rice...we must all
remember that she was on the Board of Directors of Chevron at the time of
the negotiations. She was also on the ExxonMobil Board as well as the
Board of J P MOrgan/Chase which owns controlling interest in General
Electric which owns NBC,...on which you will NEVER see this story
reported! See the connections? What has all this to do with Kay
Bailey!....not so fast!
Muhammad Karzai, the current "acting Governor" of Afghanistan was also
Chevron's main Pipeline consultant in Afghanistan. The Bush administration
is having trouble selecting "leaders" in Iraq that don't have apparent
Chevron connections, since the world is getting wise to the ploy!
Furthermore, Bush/Chevron has no intention of handing over Sovereignty to
the IRaqi people until Chevron can regain control of the Iraqi oil fields,
which is by no means, certain, UNLESS they can get the UN back in to start
up "Blood For Oil". The reason why Bush needs the old Saddam Intelligence
regime back in place is because they are already the "keeper of the keys"
on the issues of keeping quiet and discreet about Chevron oversight. In
other words...it worked once..why fix it if it aint' broke. (I'll explain
why Chevron didn't want Saddam captured in Gulf War 1 at a later time)
Keep in mind that the Iraqi oil fields were originally nationalized by
Saddam Hussein. At the time they belonged to British Petroleum.
Subsquently, they came under the control of ChevronTexaco.
BushCo does not want you to see this. So here you are.
SEE: 2001-2004 Civil Rights Report Complete
Failing to build on common
ground, the Bush administration missed opportunities to build consensus on
key civil rights issues and has instead adopted policies that divide
Americans. President Bush could have, early on, called on public officials
to unify and show America and the world that, together, the nation could
improve its voting systems. Likewise, he could have
exerted leadership on affirmative action by soliciting diverse viewpoints
and promoting policies that achieve diversity. Future presidential
administrations, in fulfilling their duty to advance civil rights, should
inspire Americans to unity, not divisiveness.

Bush's
Temperature Rises
BUSH GOES NEGATIVE… ON CHARLIE GIBSON?
“President Bush smirked and winked and chuckled to himself. He jumped from
his stool, chopped at the air and interrupted the debate moderator. As he
fought to keep his emotions in check in a testy, personal debate with Sen.
John Kerry, the president asserted, ‘That answer almost made me scowl.’”
[AP, 10/8/04]
“An angry Bush at one point cut off moderator Charles Gibson to upbraid
Kerry for criticizing the size of the coalition backing the United States
in Iraq, saying it denigrated allies like Britain and Poland.” [Reuters,
10/9/04]
“During his [Bush’s] own answers and rebuttals, he was pugnacious. He
overrode moderator Charles Gibson's protests at one point, saying loudly,
‘I have to answer this.’” [USA Today, 10/9/04]
BUSH ON DEFENSE
Mark Shields: “I thought the President played defense on an awful lot of
issues tonight. I mean including the Canadian importation of drugs and so
much on the economy, and as well as Iraq.” [PBS, 10/8/04]
Liz Marlantes, Christian Science Monitor: “I actually would in many ways
characterize the president’s performance as heated and to me, at times; it
seemed very defensive, actually.” [MSNBC, 10/9/04]
John Harwood, Wall Street Journal: “[Bush] was quite agitated at the
beginning. He looked defensive, he looked like somebody who was sort of
trying to push the rock up hill, convincing people why he really should
have gone to war against Iraq even though there were no weapons of mass
destruction.” [CNN, 10/8/04]
BUSH’S ANGER MANAGEMENT
“ANGRY MAN”
Jon Meachan: “That was so interesting to me about President Bush is that
he seemed like an angry man tonight, and clearly Kerry got under his skin
in the first debate and instead of frankly not letting butter melt in his
mouth, tonight he seemed to me to be speaking very loudly.” [PBS, 10/9/04]
Melinda Henneberger: “[Bush] seemed angry to me.” [MSNBC 10/9/04]
“TIGHTLY COILED”
Liz Marlantes, Christian Science Monitor: “[Bush] still has some of those
things… I mean, you look at his face, he’s so tightly coiled; he’s got the
jaw, he’s doing the blinking thing.” [MSNBC, 10/9/04]
“TENSE AND ANGRY”
Joe Klein: “…Bush seemed tense and angry. The person who wins is the
person when you turn off the sound, the one who looks better to the public
– that was Kerry tonight. Bush is supposed to be the laid back regular
guy, [but] he seems more tense than Kerry does.” [CNN, 10/9/04]
“When Mr. Kerry accused the president of going to war unilaterally, Mr.
Bush could not suppress his anger. He jumped off his stool and interrupted
the moderator, Charles Gibson of ABC, saying, ‘I've got to answer this.’
Mr. Gibson wanted to pursue the subject of whether deploying Reserves
constituted a form of military draft, but Mr. Bush was adamant. ‘Let me
just answer what he just said about going alone,’ he insisted. ‘You tell
Tony Blair we're going alone! Tell Tony Blair we're going alone!’” [New
York Times, 10/9/04]
“STRIDENT AND INTENSE”
“At the outset, Bush seemed strident and intense, as if over-eager to
avoid a repetition of his pained performance eight days ago.” [New York
Times, 10/9/04]
“[Bush]...could have used more humility and was almost shrill at times.”
[Editorial, Dallas Morning News, 10/9/04]
“The president seemed to fall back frequently on name-calling....”
[Editorial, New York Times, 10/9/04]
NIXON-LIKE
“Bush ‘seemed wound a bit too tight. He was a little like Nixon – sort of
jumping out of his suit,’ said David Niven, political science professor at
Florida Atlantic University. ‘He looked bad on the TV close-ups.’” [AP,
10/9/04]
HOT UNDER THE COLLAR
“The president...let his feelings get the better of him, getting hot under
the collar in a medium best served cold. From the outset, his clenched jaw
twitched, and he blinked repeatedly, like a man whose contact lens hurt.
And when Senator John Kerry turned and confronted him face to face with
the latest report on the absence of illicit weapons in Iraq, President
Bush snickered derisively - the first sign that the president, though more
combative than in the first debate, was not on his game.” [New York Times,
10/9/04]
“AGITATED”
“Bush, curbing most of the signs of frustration that marked his
performance in last week's debate, grew agitated after Kerry asserted the
United States is bearing the burden in Iraq.” [Houston Chronicle, 10/9/04]
“FLUSTERED”
“[Bush]...did come across as flustered at a couple points in the evening,
referring to his opponent as ‘Sen. Kennedy,’ who is the senior senator
from Massachusetts. When asked about the draft, Bush declared: ‘I hear
there is a rumor on the Internets.’” [Chicago Tribune, 10/9/04]
BUSH’S DEJA VU EXPRESSIONS
“Mr. Bush seemed hesitant and spoke loudly when he took the stage...at
times he flashed glances of anger at Mr. Kerry that were reminiscent of
his demeanor the week before.” [New York Times, 10/9/04]
“And not unlike that first battle, the president sounded angry and
defensive, as if scolding the undecided. ‘Yeah, great question,’ he said
when a man asked him about the draft.” [New York Times, 10/9/04]
“Bush kept his smirks and other body language in check more so than he did
in the first debate, though at times he still let them roam. At one point,
Bush even interrupted moderator Charles Gibson to lecture Kerry about the
allied coalition in Iraq: ‘You tell (British Prime Minister) Tony Blair
we're going alone!’” [Arizona Republic, 10/9/04]

I was extremely disappointed in the fucking-excuse-for-a-primate-smirky-the-chimp-boy, after all, this was supposed to be his strong point, but listening to him I felt sorry for him, he was so human; first becoming flustered, then seeming confused, and even seemed on the brink of flying into a rage. I actually thought at one point he would just tell Mr. Kerry to go Cheney himself and leave the stage. Mr. Bush was so sure that what he has been doing was right that to me he appeared cocky and extremely defensive. He did a good job of trying to paint Mr. Kerry as someone who sends “mixed messages”, but it was clear the argument was hollow, and of himself as someone with, “steadfast resolve, no matter what!” He did not present anything new other than his steadfastness in pursuing his failed policies. His mangled simplistic use of the English language was also extremely irritating to listen to, but it is part of his charm and helps him to gain the sympathy he so desperately needs. These qualities made me feel sorry for him but in light of his record and off all the people who have died, quite frankly, he made me sick. Sure his steadfast resolve “no matter what” and his aw shucks fabricated twanging way of talking have some appeal, but they are not the qualities I want in a President! I think the American people agreed.
Mr. Kerry on the other hand showed quiet strength, dignity, composure, intelligence, restraint, diplomacy, and a serious command of the issues, all lacking in Bush. The substance and thoughtfulness of his words seemed a breath of fresh air compared to Bush’s tired old hollow rhetoric. I think that even the Bush supporters came away saying of Mr. Kerry, “Now that is a President!” even though their support was mostly unchanged. Listening to callers on C-Span after the debate I was struck by several callers who supported Bush, they called Mr. Kerry “President Kerry”, two of these individuals did not even realize that they had said that. I think it is pretty clear no matter what camp you belong to, after watching or listening to the debate Mr. Kerry obviously has all the Presidential qualities that Bush is severely lacking in. Mr. Kerry instilled a feeling of comfort, trust, and intelligent competence, and the feelings of pity I came away with for Bush pale in comparison. Mr. Kerry’s statements about Iraq, Korea, and the way our allies have been ostracized by Bush’s policies, made it clear that he will give America and Americans their dignity and position back on the world stage. He obviously is ready to pursue a new direction using diplomacy and the help of our allies that will bring about peace.
I think it is very clear, if we want to continue to live in a world of terror and fear, where the US is a pariah then we can resolutely stick with Bush, if we want our dignity, security and peace back we can welcome a man who already has shown he is fit for the job, who cares, and is intelligent enough to weigh his options, listen and process new information when making decisions, and make the right choices, not only for himself and his “base” but for all of us.
