June 7, 2002

Bush would do well to take a hint and return to Texas with Karen. His most trusted advisor knows when to throw in the towel, and so should Dumbya! We, the people, did not elect this administration, and we should not have to endure the tragedy of their mistakes. The American people are indeed wiser than some so-called "leaders" (SCOTUS). Democracy should have reigned. We are not children in need of guidance. We can make the choices that are best for our future. Al Gore was elected by the people and should be the President of the United States. We should demand that Democracy be returned to the people.

Well, the Bush administration shows their true colors about how much they really care for veterans! They intend to close some of the VA hospitals. At one point I worked for the VA, and there were waiting lists for veterans needing care. I guess the lesson to be learned here is Dumbya cares about you only if you are still capable of fighting his war, otherwise you can forget it. Folks, if you aren't of value to the Bushies you are expendable!

* * *

If asked the "big" question, "Are you better off today than you were?" the answer would be a resounding NO! All the recent trauma suffered by the American people is directly attributed to the inept, inexperienced Bush and "his" administration. They say if you don't learn the first time, then history has a knack of repeating itself. Obviously the devastating results of Bush #1 have revisited Bush #2. Resignation, at this point, would be the best thing for us all.

* * *

Don't think for a minute that this administration is restructuring "guidelines" to catch terrorists only. While they haven't been very successful in arresting those responsible for the tragic events of 9-11, they sure have been busy rounding up people and nosing into the lives of American citizens. I believe it's about time they put up or stop absolving civil rights. They are attempting to squelch all Americans who do not think as they do! Pretty soon it won't just be statues that are draped in blue -- women in America could find themselves in Burkas because John Ashcroft finds the female body evil to look at!!!! All this under the guise of patriotism Ashcroft style.

Has anyone else noticed the switch that has taken place in mainstream media? Late night comedy has become the only source of truth in reporting while CNN, FOX (faux)NEWS, and the BIG THREE (CBS, NBC, ABC) have become the source of comedic reporting. Listening to the daily news talk about the "wonderful" job done by Dumbya becomes more laughable everyday. I just wonder if the clowns doing the reporting realize how much damage they are doing to America? Do they know that supporting this inept administration puts all of us in jeopardy? Don't they realize they will have to bear a major responsibility in any future chaos we suffer?

* * *

RESIGN George, it's the only patriotic thing for you to do. Then of course, I should remember you aren't a patriot. You are a thief, a liar, and a cheat. You disgraced the United States when you were AWOL, you disgraced your family with your drunken antics, and you have disgraced your country once again by covering up the facts regarding 9-11. My only hope for the future of America is your resignation, and that you take Cheney with you when you go!

In "hindsight," when one views the ability of the Bush Administration to ram their agenda through with the approval of the country, then one sees the advantage the Bush Administration had by not possessing foresight. It makes me wonder if they had more foresight than anyone can imagine. Remember these guys are experts at "anything to gain an advantage." They are experts at picking the pockets of average citizens to enrich the wealthy. They have modeled the administration after corporate entities. Remember Enron! Somehow the evidence is revealing they knew a whole lot more than we can imagine in our wildest nightmares.

* * *

I believe it will be more damaging to this country if an investigation of the events preceding 9-11 does not take place. Just think for a moment how much damage can be caused by men and women who were either too stupid or too callous to do everything they could to prevent such a tragedy. Can you imagine the future chaos that could result from leaving these kind of people free reign on this country? I want to know what happened, why, and who is responsible; no further cover-ups by the administration, the press or anyone else. There is already to much death and grief, I don't want to see more of the same from inept, incapable, idiots.

* * *

Every time I hear Bush say "if I knew planes would be used to kill people," I can't help but remember when he appeared on the Larry King Show the night before executing Karla Faye Tucker. Bush answered King's question,"What do you think Karla Faye would say to you right now if she could?" with "Please don't kill me." The man who would ridicule a women about to die, has no compassion, and I can't trust he would do anything to save anyone but himself. He is a despicable human being and the Lt. Col was right: Dumbya is a joke. He should resign.

"FBI reform" is doublespeak for protecting Dumbya! "His" administration will do whatever it deems necessary to shield him from the truth! If the FBI, the CIA, or anyone else must take the blame for the blooming idiot that sits in the Oval Office, they will do so.

* * *

Has any thought been given to the fact that it takes an unhealthy arrogance and audacity to prance and strut and proclaim revenge, when one knew beforehand that an attack was imminent? Don't you ever wonder what kind of man would run in the face of danger, deny the act of cowardice and then admit "getting out of harm's way"? Consider the future of our country when this guy has a finger on the button of destruction. This same nincompoop claims to know what you think and how you feel! Scary huh?

* * *

To all those conservatives who believe English should be the only language spoken in these United States -- you need to send your concerns to the White House and the man who currently occupies the Oval Office. Bush not only butchers the English language, he double-speaks his gibberish as well. You might expand your tenets to include a brain requirement, too.

GEORGE W. BUSH AND DICK CHENEY SHOULD RESIGN! They did not win an election, they are incapable of governing, and they are making a mockery of America. This administration is bogus. Everything they've done since assuming office is proof that they are inept and the worst thing that has happened to our country since the country began. Calling for RESIGNATION is the most Patriotic thing that all Americans can do for their country!

* * *

Once the Hart-Rudman Report was sent, the Bush administration knew the probability of an attack. George W. Bush and Dick Cheney ignored this report, even after a personal visit from the guy who wrote the report! This administration has failed America. The experience they touted is limited to fleecing America. They do not know how to protect American citizens. The fact is, they are clueless on everything except making money on the backs of honest hardworking Americans.

We need a Democrat with backbone to step up to the plate. We need someone who will not be afraid to say it with some gumption, someone who will give it back to the Repugs with the same amount of force they spew on the Dems. The public is tired of the mealy-mouthed, hate mongers born of the Repuglican party. We are tired of scandal and double-speak, bumbling and stumbling. We need a leader who is capable of leading America, a leader who cares about the needs of the people, one who can guide our country out of the abyss in which we currently abide, the abyss created by Bush and the gang. So come on Democrats, send us someone with the intelligence and the pizzazz to be President. Give us back our national pride.

* * *

The right wing press is critical of the FBI because they want to see the FBI take the "fall." They want to say the fault was with the FBI and drop any further investigation. They know that an investigation would reveal more than they want publicly aired. They will protect their boy Dumbya, because they have a lot of money invested in his reign. Don't forget Mueller protected poppy, and he will save the boy. This administration will sacrifice anyone to shield Dumbya!

* * *

Excuses, excuses, excuses! Mueller didn't know because he only became FBI Director Sept. 4; Rice didn't know because she couldn't connect the dots; Cheney didn't know because he wanted to keep it a secret; and Dumbya didn't know because he was on vacation. And they're all mad at Bill because he didn't tell them. Sounds like a "crock" to me!

* * *

Confusion guaranteed by double speak -- status quo for the Bush administration. Tell the public one thing one day and then go for the opposite the next. That way, no one will know what the real truth is and confusion will reign supreme. Keep Bush off the hot seat at all costs. Too bad the cost is American lives. This is the good ole boy who stole an election -- the man who is guiding America into oblivion.
