"Florida was expected to have a very competitive Senate race this year. ‘Now it's going to take a big event to make it competitive’, she said. " In order to make it competitive does Katherine Harris have to drop her bid for Senator? The question becomes is Harris incompetent or is she corrupt? The entire Repuglican Party is involved in some way or the other in the “corruption” game, and if some Americans don’t recognize the facts, then most certainly they become the “enablers” who aided and abetted the destruction of any semblance of honesty and integrity in American government!

Liberal is defined as “open-minded” and “tolerant,” which tells us “narrow-minded” and “intolerant” is the description of those who oppose liberal! Yep, that pretty well sums it up for most of those radical Repuglicans who support George Bush and his elitist attitude! What is it I heard once, did Jesus Christ really preach acceptance and tolerance for all? Is it true, did Christ really say, “Whatever you do for the least of these you do for me”? Seems to me that upon arriving at the “pearly gates” the password won’t be Christian, Jew, or Muslim, seems to me LIBERAL is what Saint Peter’s waiting to hear! I am a LIBERAL, I am proud of being a LIBERAL, and “the world would be a better place for you and me” if there were more LIBERALS among us!!!

Someone please tell me how a peaceful group of protestors meeting at a Quaker church could have been identified as “foreign” terrorist suspects! “In 2003, the Defense Department directed a little-known agency, Counterintelligence Field Activity (CIFA), to establish and “maintain a domestic law enforcement database that includes information related to potential terrorist threats directed against the Department of Defense.” “Rogalski said only 43 names were improperly added to the database, and those were from protest-related reports such as the Quaker meeting in Florida.” Oh, that’s how, because the DoD decided to spy on Americans! Wonder how many Americans, besides those 43 meeting at the Quaker church, are being spied on!

Russ Feingold proposes “BUSH CENSURE OVER SPYING”! And then the radicals were all out in force to decry Senator Feingold’s proposal! Had they listened to Senator Feingold way back, when they were all in a “rush to preemptive” war, had they listened to him then, we would not have been in the mess we’re in today! Thousands of innocent Iraqis dead, 2400 American soldiers dead, terrorism throughout the world on the rise, civil war in Iraq, teetering on the precipice of more wars in Iran and North Korea and not a single one of those condemning Senator Feingold has any idea how to close the lid Bush opened on Pandora’s box, or how to stop the madness. It would benefit all of America, if we listened to and acted on Senator Feingold’s proposals! Sounds to me like he’s a man of integrity and conviction, and if he is running for President, then he is certainly doing what’s necessary to win my vote!

In a small town suburb of Atlanta, in Northeast Georgia on Saturday last, there was a group of protestors out and about with IMPEACH BUSH/CHENEY signs! As we drove by, giving them the thumbs up, we heard, “I’m with you” coming from more passers by! Anti Bush/Cheney in Georgia, hooray, it truly is a beginning!

"Enemy" is defined as "unfriendly opponent, somebody who hates and seeks to harm or cause trouble for somebody else," and what Bush did to McCain in SC during campaign 2000 surely fits that description. When pictures like this are published it sure looks like McCain is doing his darndest to collaborate with the enemy!

“DOBBS: And we should point out, as we reported on Istithmar, the Emirates company, is also a 2 percent -- excuse me, has a $2 billion investment in the stock of Time Warner, the parent of CNN. A recent investment. We're delighted to have them as stockholders, I'm sure.” Hmm, no longer have to wonder why most of the programming on CNN is pro George Bush!

Welcome to FACSISM AMERICAN STYLE! Hitler himself could have learned a thing or two from the Bush administration and the Repuglican Party of today! “Freedom and Democracy,” I don’t think so, “Freedom of the Press,” not in George Bush’s world, if the Repuglicans in Congress get their way! “WASHINGTON Reporters who write about government surveillance could be prosecuted under proposed legislation that would solidify the administration's eavesdropping authority, according to some legal analysts who are concerned about dramatic changes in U.S. law.”

Whenever I hear a pundit, talking head, chairman of the RNC or any radical Repuglican, erroneously accuse the Democrats of not having a clear vision, not having a message, or not having a solution, I pause to think, hmm, and exactly what has George Bush clearly handed to us? Remembering PNAC’s plan for world dominance, he arrived in Washington with a clear vision for a war in Iraq, he clearly ignored an August 6th PDB which said “Osama determined to strike within the U.S.” that clearly led to Sept. 11, he clearly abandoned the hunt for Osama in Afghanistan in order to invade Iraq, he clearly lied to us about WMD’s and “yellowcake in Niger” so he could attack Iraq, he clearly misrepresented mushroom clouds and imminent threats to speed up that war in Iraq, he clearly did not have a plan to secure the peace, thus leaving our sons and daughters caught up in a mess he clearly created! He clearly ignored the warnings of Hurricane Katrina! And it’s become quite clear he knew about the potential danger well before the Hurricane struck and clearly continued a vacation schedule while the people of New Orleans and up and down the Gulf Coast lost their homes, their cities, and their lives while he clearly maintained a vacation schedule. Not to mention he clearly gave the terrorists a rallying motive, and now he’s clearly provoked a renewal of the Nuclear Proliferation race! It’s become quite clear to me, Bush is one clear vision we would be better off without!!!
