He may be going, but his tactics will remain! Tom DeLay has created a do whatever it takes to wreck the opposition political atmosphere! This is the Repuglican Party showing the whole world what they have come to do best under the tutelage of DeLay--intimidate and annihilate any and all who would seek the truth and democracy! The Repuglicans, taking a cue from the moron who leads them, are nothing but bullies, blowhards, and thugs! Roughing-up old ladies and children has become the norm. This certainly isn’t about bipartisan democracy; it’s all about building one party control. Is this really what America wants in leadership positions???

The image of the “Hooded Man” standing on a box with his arms outstretched and wires attached to him at Abu Ghraib prison has always reminded me of pictures of Jesus on the Cross! Ironic isn’t it? The man and the party who claim to have a direct line to Jesus are responsible for torturing innocent men as was Jesus tortured by the Romans. How to ask forgiveness, when it was an intentional act committed with malice, forethought and a plan?

As mainstream corporate media haltingly starts telling America the truth about George Bush, his tactics and his policies, one has to wonder have they finally realized Bush has done nothing to protect and secure America or the Middle East with his bullying bravado and eternal war? Has the “press” finally come to terms with the fact that the whole world is a more dangerous place because of George Bush, Dick Cheney, and the Repuglican Party? Do mainstream corporate media finally realize it takes more than a war, and an election to promote democracy? Hmmm, I wonder?

This is a fine howdyado---Bush himself authorized the leak of “classified information” to retaliate and intimidate the man, Joe Wilson, brave enough to come forward with the truth! So much for protecting the American people! I rather imagine Bush wasn’t too concerned about leaking the name of a covert CIA agent working on WMD’s either, because he knew there weren’t any in Iraq!!!! Which goes to prove he took this country to war on trumped up charges, thousands of innocent people including children dead, over 2300 American soldiers dead, more than 17,000 American soldiers injured, all on the whim of a madman! My God what have we become, what more has to happen before the Congress of the United States of America takes the necessary steps to impeach this whole Cabal! Talk about punishing criminals, for God’s sake, this is the gravest crime against humanity since WWII!

“Cheney's office responded that he was ‘supporting the administration's position’ of seeking a diplomatic solution while keeping all options on the table.” Err, where have we heard this before, ohhh that’s right just before they bombarded Iraq with “shock and awe”! Hold on to your hats because these lunatics are about to start a nuclear WWIII!

If in fact the White House was just releasing information to prove their claims regarding the necessity to go to war in Iraq and counteract Joe Wilson’s op-ed, then why did the White House and all the culprits involved go to the lengths they did to cover up the whole mess? If they were so sure of themselves, why all the underhanded dirty tricks, why all the secrecy, why “out” a covert CIA agent, why did they do everything possible to damage Joe Wilson? Why all the lies and public statements about hating “leakers”? Lies beget more lies and it becomes an endless mess. This time it’s cost America dearly, in lives, reputation, and morality!

Don’t ever expect a sorry sack of you know what to say I’m sorry! History has shown that Bush, even though he dodged the draft by getting a cushy seat in the National Guard during the VietNam era, went AWOL and still claims to have served his country! It shows he was a spoiled brat son of privilege wild child that he has dismissed without an apology but rather a sowing his wild oats excuse! There have been no apologies for the deaths of innocent people in Iraq, just an, expect “collateral damage” statement, it’ll be a cold day in hell before this arrogant bully blow hard ever says I’m sorry!
