As his poll ratings drop even lower, Karl's job convincing George he's king of the world is getting harder by the day!  Look out for a "terrorist" attack coming to a town near you!!!

What do you want to bet you won't hear anything about this in Bush's push to rally support! Under the Bushies the truth is slow in coming out, and this is one truth they will subvert as long as possible because they don't want you to know what's really happening in Iraq. The Taliban is making Iraq the next strong-hold, and the Bushies are claiming the Iraqi people are now using the democracy that Bush so generously brought them to choose the form of government they want!! So much for changing hearts and minds in the Middle-East! From the frying pan into the fire, so my grandmother used to say, and everyone can thank George Bush!

It's a sad day indeed, when Christian preachers in America are calling for a jihad! From his "700 Club" pulpit Pat Robertson is calling for the assassination of a Hugo Chavez. Anyone else get the feeling we're living in a surreal world these days???

"Republican National Committee Chairman Ken Mehlman told Republicans …Democrats used to tell people you have nothing to fear but fear itself. Now they have nothing to offer but fear itself." Meanwhile back at the ranch, the Repuglicans are offering death and destruction to anyone foolish enough to buy their spiel! And I would say to Mehlman, you Repuglicans having been feeding off the fear you've provided the American public for the past 5 years, but, look out, the frenzy is coming to a jolting stop that will finally end your reign of terror on the American people!

Actually there is nothing I can add to this link, as it says it all. When the Bush administration cannot say anything good about the situation they've created in America today, and someone calls them on the horror they've rained down on us all, they go about the business of castigating that person to the nth degree. Cowards that they are, they have now attacked the mother of a fallen soldier, they have condemned her to death by smear attack, and their minions have joined in this battle of evil. God help America.

Civil war in Iraq? Now that Karl Rove has decided to send in the "brown shirts" down in Crawford, one has to wonder if his plan is to start a civil war right here in the good ole USA? Each camp claims to support American troops in Iraq, but one camp believes the best way to support them is to bring them home, home to safety and security, and to stop a senseless war that was started on lies and innuendo to enrich even further the already richer than dirt elitists in this country, while the other camp is shouting how willing they are to send their loved ones to die for George Bush. Now tell me, who exactly is supporting the troops here, tell me which group is blinded by their misplaced faith in a liar and which group really supports those they love?

Yesiree bobtail, Dick, America has counted on the bravest among us to stay in the fight and win the war, and boy are we ever grateful America wasn't counting on the likes of you and George Bush, you two who never even joined up, in an actual  fight for this country! Rhetoric, empty slogans and platitudes won't do anything to win this war you and George started out of lunacy to enrich yourselves. By your foolish, calculated actions you (I cannot bring myself to say "sir" to a draft dodging, yellow bellied coward) and George Bush have made this world a more dangerous place for us and for our children. God knows you have brought the darkest days that America has ever seen to the fore, you and George can get out there and cheerlead all you want, but it won't change the facts, it won't bring back those whom mothers and fathers once held near and dear, it won't resurrect the thousands of innocent Iraqis whose deaths are now on your shoulders!! The best thing you could do for America is go back to your undisclosed location, your high-rise offices, where the only damage you can do doesn't involve the lives of the American people or any other people you choose to invade.

One thing, otherwise astute Repuglican strategists in New York, haven't considered in this equation---most Americans like Bill Clinton and they especially like the job he did as President, sins and all! And he's beginning to look better and better each and every day that George Bush continues to take America down the road of chaos and confusion, disaster and destruction. Try as they may, they still can't tarnish Bill Clinton's appeal, and with George Bush for comparison, it's a losing battle for the Repuglicans no matter what they do!! Go, Hillary, go! Jeanine isn't even a wrinkle in this political road!
