MS. SMITH GOES TO WASHINGTON
BuzzFlash,
A better term would be polecat (skunk) polemic politics because, up to now, they have had a strong and lasting smell to them . . . we Americans have an illegal and treasonous Bush GOP invasion/war/occupation going on where people are dying every day and we have to listen to the constant barrage of he said/she said Clinton/McCain politics in their hoping that this small talk will be enough to take the American eyes off of our real problems . . . death, debt, and destruction of Afghanistan, Iraq, and the US way of life.
Oh yes, these multimillionaires, Obama excluded because he's never been one, have nothing to worry about except their "anything goes" in order to get what they want. The last ignorant remarks I've read about were to take the taxes off gasoline . . . when what this country really needs is for the oil companies to pay their fair share . . . is it reasonable that we Americans are paying the highest prices ever for gas when the oil companies are boasting about the highest profits ever in their history?
House Democratic leaders are putting together the largest Iraq war spending bill yet, a measure that is expected to fund the war through the end of the Bush presidency and for nearly six months into the next president's term
This week another Green Zone attack, and the news that April was the deadliest month since September for our troops. Oh yeah, we keep hearing how this government supports our troops, just ask the troops, then ask their families. If that's not enough, count the caskets, because the Bush GOP criminal regime will not.
Yes, spreading democracy in Iraq with an illegal invasion based on lies, and then the Bush regime builds a multi-billion dollar embassy, but not with their own money . . . how many Americans would allow such a building to stand in this country, I wonder, and for how long . . . use your own reasonable deductions, and people will realize that that Green Zone will eventually be another death zone of expensive rubble for Americans who have to serve under this treasonous Bush GOP regime. And, the fraud connected to the no-bid contracts . . . since when has that been allowed, and such bids without any competition is asking for fraud, and we got it didn't we.
However, the real reason behind such contracts and tax cuts was about the loyalty and the money that would be pumped back into the Republican Party. But, more important, these issues and their votes on such issues are what the candidates should be talking about, not the skewed bits and pieces of what some preacher said, a person who most of America had never heard of before, and he has nothing to do with US government, in the same way that all Right Wing Christian fundamentalists and their rhetoric should be ignored, but who weren't ignored by the Bush GOP regime. They had an active part in the Bush GOP administration.
Why are our troops being ignored? What about the accounting and accountability? Still, another report of filth in US barracks, a building that should have been condemned, and was reported by the father whose son is living in such a building . . . when was the last time we Americans would hear how thousands of our troops are killing themselves, troops who needed medical care and aren't getting it . . . and one good reason would be the number of times they have had to go back and serve in Iraq, over and over.
Now, this so-called Republican Supreme Court is going along with trying to keep people from their right to vote, because many Americans will not have a picture ID . . . yet, how many people paid for their criminal actions with the election fraud, and that fraud was real, unlike these stories of voter fraud. Again, we don't hear anything from the candidates on this, and why do we need a Supreme Court to take away the one right of power for every American to participate in government? Of course, pay notice to what this article says about states rights . . . that's not what happened in Florida when our so-called Supreme Court put their own guy into the White House, overriding states' rights, and there should be accountability for that . . . no one, even those lifetime members of the Supreme Court should be above US law, especially when they use it to sell out this country . . . a more detailed explanation of this is found in "The Betrayal of America" by Vincent Bugliosi with forwards by Molly Ivins and Gerry Spencer, 2001 . . . somehow, again, no accountability after eight long years, and look what their betrayal has cost this country in debt and the deaths of hundreds of thousands of innocent lives, including American lives.
The court ruled 6-3 that the requirements enacted by Indiana's legislature were not enough of a burden to invoke constitutional protections. Because the state's law is generally regarded as the nation's strictest, the ruling bodes well for other states that have required photo ID

When are we Americans going to stop swallowing the swill of polecat polemic politics and demand answers to the real problems facing this country today, along with the accountability according to US law?
If McCain and Clinton would rather talk nonsensical about the tax on gasoline or what the Reverend Wright said or didn't say . . . how can we Americans possibly think that they can tackle the real problems of this country, when both of them have supported the Bush criminal regime all along, and both are known to lie and use subterfuge to get what they want? We've had that already and look where it got us today.
This is not a sign of leadership, it is a sign of "greedership," and it has to stop or we Americans will find ourselves asking for handouts around the world. A world that used to be friendly towards us. A world where once upon a time, the American dollar had respect.
How many Americans really believe that the majority of the American people want somebody in the White House they can drink a keg of beer with or have a cup of spiked tea with . . . they can get that from a neighbor . . . the majority of Americans are law abiding citizens, who expect US law to be for everyone, especially those in US government, and leaders with the capability of a strong enough will, the confidence and intelligence, who will listen to the experts, get to know the real problems facing the US today, understand the root causes of those problems, talk about them, respect US law, respect past Geneva conventions, respect and learn from other cultures, know how to negotiate with them, and actually "do" something about solving these problems instead of creating them. Violence creates violence, as does poverty and the dehumanizing of people . . . all violence breeds hate.
It will take years to clean up what Bush and his criminal cabal have done to this country and around the world. And, they think that since they were not made accountable for Iraq, Afghanistan or New Orleans, and all of the other problems we face today, that they can start another war by attacking Iran, using lies and bombs, the cowardly faceless killers that was used for years against the Iraqi people, killing more innocent people, or use that as a way of stopping the US elections . . . we are either a democracy, and this should never be allowed, (and wouldn't even come to this if this Bush administration had been brought up on impeachment charges) or a criminal plutocracy, a government ruled by the rich and wealthy.
Why would we Americans want to repeat the go along to get along politics of the DLC that cost this country the Democratic majority in Congress, and almost every election since? That cost us the jobs through NAFTA? That cost us the invasion into Iraq because Poppy Bush and the investigations about him were stopped by Clinton. Why? How can loyalty be worth the debt, death, and destruction caused by this treasonous Bush administration? Is loyalty to an impossible dream worth all of that? An impossible dream because we Americans can't expect McCain or Clinton to bring about accountability in US government, stop this treasonous invasion/occupation, bring more jobs and do away with NAFTA. We can't expect them to just tell the truth . . . judging from their own campaign tactics, they are the experts in polemic politics for power. Considering all of the problems this country faces today . . . the Clintons cannot be excluded from much of the blame or responsibility regarding these problems. We are what we are being fed, if we eat it.
Today's problems in America call for the personification of power to one that has seemed inhuman, taking these US problems to heart, personally, internally (we can dream can't we) . . . a living-in-the-White-House example of what the majority of Americans want this country to be (the hope that the real American dream can be brought back to life again -- remember when one salary could support a family) . . . the politician who can answer to those problems should get the job of cleaning up after the Bush GOP administration, and it can't be repeated enough, we Americans must keep demanding that the previous administration is made accountable for what they have done while serving this country. The oaths of office have to mean loyalty to this democracy.
Excluding the fact that the Clintons had eight years in the White House and didn't stand up against the Bush GOP, and excluding all other problems that people are suffering today as a result of the Bush GOP regime, the two candidates, McCain and Hillary Clinton, voted for the criminal and treasonous invasion into Iraq . . . why would any American who is patriotic, who cares about the lives of innocent people, including our military, and who also has a strong belief in US democracy, want a repeat of that type of thinking, a clear choice proving the inability to do what was right at the right time, in the White House? Why?
Thanks BuzzFlash,
