Given all we’ve learned recently, I’d say the biggest Weapon of Mass Destruction is not to be found in the Middle-East, rather right here at home, in the form of George W. Bush! How many must die before America says enough?

You’d think these guys had learned a lesson when they willingly dealt with Osama bin Laden, but, nooo, they are again negotiating with known terrorists and we all know how that turned out before! Expertise? Experience? Not hardly, just a bunch of radical wing-nuts creating chaos and confusion! What’s that old saying about dealing with the devil, in the end you find yourself in hell! Willing or not, this is where we’re all headed if the Bush administration is allowed to continue down the slippery slope they’ve chosen to travel!

Sounds like the natives are getting restless in the Middle-East! Are they finally waking up to the fact that because of Bush’s foolhardy war in Iraq, the entire Middle-East has been destabilized? Yessiree bobtail, Bush’s legacy looks as though he’s managed to erase every last bit of progress that has been made over the years, and Taliban rule in the region is on the horizon!

There are times when you hear something that really is priceless---“KARL ROVE, DEP. WHITE HOUSE CHIEF OF STAFF: This guy had a sense that he was mystically empowered, and as a result, transfixed the audience. Now, that is not a rational human being to deal with.” Herr Rove was speaking about Mahmoud Ahmadinejad, but he could just as readily have been talking about his boss, George Bush! It’s ironic when the masters of crazy presume to critique other crazies! Given everything that’s happened over the last 5 to 6 years, I’d say there is not a rational human being to deal with in the Bush administration either!

Given the results of “the war on terrah” this past 3 years, I am bumfuddled as to how anyone in these United States thinks that George Bush and the Repuglican chickenhawks are the answer to our safety and security! At best this administration has been incompetent and intentionally ignorant, at worst they’ve had a finger in aiding and abetting, motive and reason, for eternal war in order to begin their march on world dominance. From ignoring the August 6th PDB that resulted in the horror of 9-11, to leaving Afghanistan and allowing bin Laden to go free, to invading Iraq on trumped up charges and not planning for the aftermath which has resulted in civil war, to elections in Palestine that produced an unfavorable, unfriendly democracy and put Israel in a more than dangerous situation, to goading previously politically hostile countries into acquiring nuclear weapons, these guys have ultimately made the world a more dangerous place for everyone. We are staring nuclear war in the face, and with George Bush calling the shots, we are definitely neither safe nor are we secure.

At least there’s one Democrat willing to challenge the Repuglican establishment! Former Gov. Roy Barnes-D, has filed a class action suit in Ga. citing the voter ID law, brought to bear by Repuglican Governor Sonny Perdue and a Repuglican State Congress, violates the Georgia State Constitution! The suit alleges “the GOP-backed law is ‘a blatant attempt to curb minority voting’." “The state constitution ensures that every U.S. citizen who is also a resident of Georgia is entitled to vote at any election.” Hooray for Gov. Barnes!

Just have to wonder if John Fund is repenting his wild and crazy past Negatively critiquing the Repuglicans is so NOT John Fund. What’s up and why?
* * *
Now if The New York Times were willing to scrutinize some of the Repuglican corruption offenders as closely as they’ve scrutinized Rep. Mollohan, we just might get some real ethics reform in Washington!

After watching this lobbed pitch, I now know the who, what, why, how, when and where of the responsibility for a whole lot of the mistakes this administration has made in the past 5/6 years! After watching this lobbed pitch, I also know why the military must have sighed a sigh of relief when Dick Cheney got approval for all his deferments. After watching this lobbed pitch, I know that Dick Cheney after reviewing all the candidates for Veep, was NOT the man for the job! I also now know who keeps stroking the insanity of George Bush, and apparently so do a lot of others who were brave enough to voice their boos!
