And some in America thought this faith-based administration was above reproach!!! Well think again, it's obvious it takes more than rhetoric to make a real Christian out of a scoundrel! What's that old Biblical reference about "Walk the Walk"??? Seems George Bush with his limited reading skills didn't get past "Talk the Talk"!!! The Gitmo "trials" are further proof that Bush has no regard for Biblical teachings or for the laws of the land!

Again, the Bush administration can change the terminology, but they cannot change the facts---American soldiers are still dying in an unnecessary war! The administration can "frame" the debate, but they cannot stop the return of caskets bearing the dead! They can present a united Repuglican front but they can't stop, "it's not a matter of if but when"! They may think Bush looked strong for a while, but they can't wipe out the memory of that plane ride to Nebraska on September 11, 2001!

When you see the profits made by the company awarded "no bid" contracts, you have to come to the realization; there was more to this war than the "terrah" excuse concocted by the Bush administration. Especially when this same company was doing an illegal recon mission long before there was a Bush administration! It's highly suspect that the man who claimed to be the "only man for the job" when selecting a VP in the administration, was in charge of the company receiving the contracts, during the time when that recon was conducted! And that's how to become a millionaire while patriotically serving your country!

It just goes to prove Robert Novak will use anything, including an "outed" Repuglican male escort posing as a White House "journalist," to weasel out of criminal responsibility! In quoting Jeff Gannon in his most recent column, Novak shows exactly what desperation can do to a rat when he's backed into a corner. The very fact that Novak quoted an already discredited article written by an infamous male for hire tells us how low he's willing to go! What's that old saying, "the deeper the hole, the higher the pile"? It certainly fits Novak's ramblings these days!

Having mildly observed George Bush's behavior prior to the theft of the presidency, and intensely since, it leads one to believe there was nothing "intelligent" about his "design" and it blows the "theory" of "intelligent design" out of the universe! Bush is representative of the epitome of contradiction---he claims to believe in a "culture of life," yet he has no conscience when it comes to killing thousands of innocent Iraqis or anyone else for that matter, he claims to believe in the teachings of the Bible, yet his actions speak anything but! He claims to believe in the good for all men, yet he favors only the rich. Yes, ACTIONS SPEAK LOUDER THAN WORDS, and George Bush's actions are not those that would indicate Christianity or any other current religious persuasion in this world.

It seems the Bush administration can control everything here in the United States of America, the intelligence agencies, the military, the courts, the Congress, the corporate media, even the rabid right wing-nuts, but they can't control the terrorists, no matter how hard they try, no matter how rosy a picture they paint, no matter how they fudge the numbers, American soldiers keep on dying! The question becomes how many dead sons and daughters is America willing to accept before enough is enough?? How many families must lose a loved one before America says it's over?? Which mother and father, husband or wife, brother or sister, will hear, "YOURS WAS THE LAST TO DIE" in a senseless war that never should have been?

Frankly, carving up genitals would be enough to make a terrorist out of the meekest among us! The very fact that the Bush administration has redrawn the lines distinguishing what comprises torture gives one pause to suspect the truth in the tales we've heard from these "so-called" terrorists!! Somehow, when men are given competitive reason to see who can outdo whom, then even the most bizarre becomes believable. I am appalled to even think the American government would participate in such horror!

I just have to wonder if touch screen voting machines were used in this election??? Is this just a precursor of things to come?? It never ceases to amaze me, how Repuglicans always seem to win by a narrow margin, even when the Democrat appeared to be the "favorite." I realize this was a Repuglican-dominated voting district, but given the trend of a majority of people nationwide, I am left pondering, how is it that Repuglicans keep on keeping on?
* * *
It looks as though, Pat Roberts Congressional investigation into leaking the identity of a covert CIA agent is just a ruse to let the guilty parties off scott free! Just goes to prove the Repuglican Party isn't interested in protecting the safety and security of the American people; they are only interested in protecting Repuglican criminals and insuring they maintain power over the people!! This is another Bush Dynasty, been there, done that, in-your-face pile of bull and they really don't care, just as long as they've managed to get all the bucks to be made on an unnecessary war and remain free to spend your money!!! And as for Pat Roberts trying to pass himself off as a statesman, this political scam shows the whole world exactly where his patriotism lies!
