Hallelujah! “DeLay Calling It Quits”! "I refuse to allow liberal Democrats an opportunity to steal this seat with a negative personal campaign," DeLay said.” It’s bizarre that the master of corruption would have the audacity to accuse anyone else at all of “stealing”! Mainstream Corporate Media is dubbing it “the end of an era,” but there’s still work to be done if this era of corruption is to be brought to an end. So many Repuglican scoundrels, so little time, but the “war on Repuglican corruption” has begun, and we won’t stand down until they’re all behind bars where they belong!

It took a long time and a whole lotta money to bring all the essential elements together to produce The Perfect Scam, but the actions of George Bush and his administration have proven the Repuglicans are quite capable of achieving destruction as has never been experienced before in America!  Radical wing think-tanks, fanatical religious ideology, political appointments, religious demagogues, psychological smear and scandal, a complicit mainstream corporate media, money, money, and more money to finance the corruption that lines the pockets of the “players,” a myriad of single issue motives have all come together in this the 21st Century to tear down what had taken over 200 years to build. It’s IRONIC that, thanks to Bush and the rest of the gang, “the war on terrah,” “over there” has become a “war on democracy” right here at home!

It’s amazing the lengths that some in mainstream corporate media will go to try and protect their obvious choice in governing parties, for instance Ed Henry of CNN had this to say about Tom DeLay: “HENRY: … this is really a passing of an era for the Republicans on Capitol Hill and in Washington in general. They have been in power, specifically on the Hill, for -- for over a decade now. And Tom DeLay really was the symbol of that Republican -- their grip on power on the Hill … Democrats no longer have their whipping boy.” It’s the psychology of turning a scandal around, to take the attention off the perpetrator, and make it appear the other party is guilty! Objective? Non-partisan? Unbiased? In fact it’s aiding and abetting crimes against the citizens of America! In order to take our country back from the Repuglican culture of corruption, we must also insist that mainstream corporate media stop the political games they’re playing!

If my child or loved one died in Iraq and I found out Bush knew there was intelligence expressing doubts over the necessity of war, I would be furious! I would be devastated to finally realize it was all because of greed and political prowess! My loved one's life is worth far more than the insanity of furthering the diabolical plans of madmen!

Just goes to show the ins and outs of this (tongue in cheek) “beautiful mind” and how it works! The intricate and devious thoughts amount to “keeping all the money in the family” while getting a tax deduction for Barbara Bush. Where do you think George and Neil learned the art of skullduggery? Why, mother, of course. These men/boys are just products of a spoiled brat, sons of privilege upbringing. It’s the way rich people get what they think are their entitlements!

This is truly a made-for-endless-war by Bush/Cheney post-9-11 world! Just stop to consider the lives that could have been saved if Bush/Cheney hadn’t been looking for an excuse to go to war in Iraq pre-9-11!

My prayer of late has been, if there is to be an Armageddon of whatever kind, in whatever time, please let it happen now!  That way those who are looking to rise into heaven, body and soul for the Rapture can do so sooner rather than later and the rest of us can go about the business of solving the ills of this world without the hindrance of fanatics!  We can save this earth for the children and the rest of humanity residing on this planet we were given.
