To the Editor:
Re ''We Won. Now What?,'' by Leon E. Panetta (Op-Ed, Nov. 12):
It's difficult for Democrats to be magnanimous when for the last six years President Bush and his cronies have squelched all dissent (even to the extent of calling dissenters unpatriotic and treasonous). The clear message from the midterm elections is not an intolerance for gridlock, as Mr. Panetta suggests, but a rejection of the entire Bush agenda, including his ill-advised invasion of Iraq, profligate spending and sullying of America's reputation by the use of torture, secret prisons and so on in an indeterminable war on terror.
Why should Democrats compromise until Mr. Bush's swagger and smirk are replaced with some hint of contrition and humility? Failing to extract at least a pound of flesh would be to squander the victory.
True, Democrats should work to foster trust between themselves and Republicans, but should be wary of being too accommodating. Had the election gone the other way, there'd be no compromising. Jonathan D. Edelfelt El Paso, Nov. 12, 2006

A YEAR ago, it was still possible to debate whether the phenomenon of Bush hating had taken on the virulent dimensions of Clinton loathing in the 1990's. On the eve of the 2004 Republican National Convention in New York City, there's no longer any argument. By any measure, Bush bashing is bigger.
On talk radio, a Howard Stern radicalized by FCC prudery and Clear Channel censorship has eclipsed Rush Limbaugh. On cable television, the Bush-mocking ''Daily Show'' gets better ratings than the right-wing ranters on Fox. And on the tables at Barnes & Noble, Al Franken, Molly Ivins and Michael Moore find more prominent display than the struggling firm of O'Reilly, Hannity & Coulter. Some other recent book titles: ''The Lies of George W. Bush.'' ''Fraud: The Strategy Behind the Bush Lies and Why the Media Didn't Tell You.'' ''The Bush-Hater's Handbook.'' ''The I Hate George W. Bush Reader'' has done well enough to spawn an ''I Hate Dick Cheney, John Ashcroft, Donald Rumsfeld, Condi Rice . . . Reader.'' Before long, we'll be hating Bush's subcabinet.
What may or may not be the terminal stage of Bush-phobia has also motivated artists and entertainers who are not, by inclination, partisans. Bruce Springsteen and a group of rockers who have avoided taking sides in previous elections will tour next month in support of the Democrats -- not out of any affection for John Kerry, but because of their horror at the prospect of a Bush second term. In the past, Hollywood has seldom risked box office take by producing message movies. But this election cycle's releases include not just the Bush-ripping crockumentary ''Fahrenheit 9/11,'' but a Halliburton-themed remake of ''The Manchurian Candidate'' and the forthcoming John Sayles film ''Silver City,'' the plot of which revolves around a grammar-garbling Western pol put up for office by nefarious corporate honchos. The novelist Nicholson Baker has just published a Bush assassination fantasy.
In the category of not naturally polemical writers pulled into the fray by the Bush presidency, one can also place Maureen Dowd, a New York Times columnist who is often reticent with her political opinions; the slashing literary and cultural critic James Wolcott; and Graydon Carter, the editor of a glam magazine with a nonideological focus (until lately) on wealth, class and celebrity. These are ordinarily calm customers, but the Bush administration has somehow blown their cool.
Why have these writers come to so hate President Bush? Perhaps the first thing to say is that, in fact, they don't hate him. The right's Clinton hating was largely personality-driven. Conservatives objected to the previous administration's policies, to be sure, but what brought their blood to a low simmer was the sight of a man they deemed immoral, dishonest and manipulative (much in the way the left reacted to Nixon and Lyndon Johnson). Clinton's success as president only made his enemies madder.
Bush's opponents, by comparison, despise the substance of his presidency. They may light on such irritants as the President's smirk, his sense of entitlement, his laziness, his verbal incoherence or his righteous dunderheadness. But these are largely stand-ins for their opposition to the Bush administration's catastrophically unplanned occupation of Iraq, its self-defeating alienation of allies, its favoritism toward the rich and the energy industry, its hostility to the environment and civil liberties, and the qualified legitimacy of the 2000 election. Bush's critics get lathered up denouncing his misdeeds, his plutocratic backers and his lame appointees. But they often admit that they, well, kinda like the guy personally.
''Bushworld'' is a case in point. In a collection of columns written mostly over the past four years, Maureen Dowd sometimes seems torn between feelings of affection for the Bush clan and the view that they are woefully inadequate to the task of governing. A sometimes coy commentator, Dowd lets her views trickle out in caustic observations and witticisms. ''All presidents are in a bubble,'' she writes in a sharp introduction, ''but the boy king was so insulated he was in a thermos.'' In her Kennebunkport burlesque of ''Dynasty,'' the ''dauphin'' is protected from reality by his ''regents,'' foremost among them Vice President Dick Cheney, typically referred to as Bush's ''baby sitter'' or ''chaperone.''

Dowd views politics through the twin lenses of pop culture and pop psychology, and it is the latter she most often emphasizes in relation to the Bush family. She sees the 2000 election as the culmination of an Oedipal drama or, as she describes it, ''the most astonishing and dangerous subordination of American history to particular psyches I've seen.'' George W., long the family black sheep, is driven both by the need to win his father's respect and the desire to symbolically slay him. To Dowd, invading Iraq had less to do with W.M.D. than the ''chance for W. to complete his transformation from the screwup son to the son who fixed his father's screwups.'' She calls the war, which she viewed skeptically from the outset, ''a Freudian tango that was rocking the world.''
As with any assemblage of in-the-moment journalism, some of Dowd's columns hold up better than others. Among her best are an account of a visit to the lingerie section of a department store in Riyadh, which led to a frightening encounter with the Saudi vice cops, and a column entitled ''Pappy and Poppy'' in which she compares the Kennedy and Bush clans. ''The Bushes were trying to de-Anglicize and lose the silver spoon while the Kennedys were trying to Anglicize and seize it,'' she writes. Less collectible is some of Dowd's sketch comedy (Cheney and Rummy sipping Scotch in the hot tub), which can degenerate to an Art Buchwald level. But in the main, her daily wit stands the test of hard covers.
Dowd's consistent view of the gulf war II as a misbegotten adventure driven by a confluence of conservative ideology and patricidal urges is looking more and more prescient. Yet in the end, she can't muster the kind of animosity toward Bush that she leveled at the Clintons, husband and wife. The Clintons, it seems, had the intelligence to be held culpable for their actions. Dowd depicts the ''boy emperor,'' by contrast, as the victim of a family psychodynamic he is incapable even of recognizing, and as the yielding vehicle for mean-spirited aides pursuing private agendas. Several years before Jonathan Demme's remake, she had cast W. in the role of the Manchurian Candidate (with Lynne Cheney in the Angela Lansbury role). The vice president, of course, supervised the brainwashing.
James Wolcott's ''Attack Poodles'' finds a less direct avenue to attack the administration. His book is not about Bush per se, but rather about pundits who serve as the president's defenders and apologists. Wolcott sees these para-journalistic blowhards, primarily those who appear on MSNBC, the Fox News Channel and CNN, as having played a crucial role in support of the invasion of Iraq. He holds the commentariat, if anything, more responsible than the Bushies themselves for misleading the public about Saddam Hussein's W.M.D., Iraq's role in the 9/11 attacks and the threat it posed to the United States. Wolcott describes the period leading up to the war as nothing short of a ''propaganda coup.''
Only someone who had spent far too much time watching ''The O'Reilly Factor'' with a notepad in hand could advance this argument with a straight face. There was, as I remember it, a fairly vigorous debate about the wisdom of invading Iraq in the months leading up to the war, even if one did not find the most sophisticated expressions of it on cable news. Almost all of this argument was premised, however, on the erroneous assumption that Saddam retained an active W.M.D. program, a belief not questioned at the time by Wolcott or most others who today accuse Bush of intentional deception. If the administration was able to overcome resistance to the war, it had less to do with the hosannas emanating from the Fox choirloft than with the thinness of Democratic opposition in Congress.
Indeed, it a questionable whether the broadcasters Wolcott chain-saws have a strong persuasive effect on the public, as opposed to simply reinforcing the biases of a relatively small number of like-minded viewers (FNC's top-rated show has an audience of 2 million to 3 million, as compared with 7 million to 12 million for each of the network evening news broadcasts). The audience for political gab skews old, male and conservative; MSNBC and CNN have tried to emulate Fox's right-wing bully boys not because of marching orders from Karl Rove but because of Fox's commercial success. The liberal caricature Phil Donahue was axed after a few months by MSNBC not because it prefers Republicans but because his ratings were too weak to make the show profitable. The problem may be that libs don't look to politics for entertainment the way cons do, preferring their news straight up, without a twist.

That said, ''Attack Poodles'' is irresistible political entertainment from and for the left. It is a true sadistic pleasure to watch Wolcott exact revenge for the hours he has wasted watching the likes of Joe Scarborough, Michael Savage and Chris Matthews. A skilled hit man, Wolcott sharpens his instruments and takes his time in setting up a kill. In his assault on Peggy Noonan, he quotes a passage from her memoir, ''What I Saw at the Revolution,'' in which she waxed romantic about glimpsing one of the President Reagan's brown shoes. It was ''not a big foot, not formidable, maybe a little . . . frail,'' Noonan wrote. ''I imagine cradling it in my arms, protecting it from unsmooth roads.''
''His other foot,'' Wolcott writes, ''would just have to fend for itself.''
Most of the thugs Wolcott ices had it coming, but after a while, his selection of victims does begin to look lopsided. After demolishing conservative pundit after pundit, he finds his hero and it's CNN business anchor Lou Dobbs. This is because Dobbs has been thumping a left-populist tub about outsourcing and corporate malfeasance (after doing his part to help inflate the stock market bubble in the late 90's). The free pass given the author's allies of the moment -- Michael Moore, Joe Conason, Eric Alterman, Sidney Blumenthal -- calls into question his choice of targets like Thomas Friedman, Andrew Sullivan and my colleague Mickey Kaus, shrewder commentators with whom he simply disagrees.
One wonders, indeed, what Wolcott might say about Graydon Carter's ''What We've Lost'' were Wolcott not employed by Vanity Fair. Carter's book is not the strident polemic one might have expected, given the author's Hollywood milieu. Indeed, his book errs mostly in the opposite direction, that of an underwritten compendium of data. Carter is constantly breaking prose stride in favor of bullet points, and at one point pads out 13 pages with an alphabetical listing of the coalition dead in Iraq. One can almost hear the author wheezing as he staggers across the finish line, with a chapter that recapitulates his previous complaints about the Bush administration Harper's-Index-style.
Carter credits no fewer than 11 researchers, but this team has not saved him from some cringe-making errors. On his first page, he describes the invasion of Iraq as ''a war of choice with a country that was neither an enemy nor a real threat.'' Think what you like about the threat part, but to describe a country firing daily at American planes in the no-flight zone as something other than an enemy is not right. On the second page, Carter describes the American education system before Bush as ''in many ways the envy of the world.'' Perhaps he was thinking of Japan? But what grates here is not so much the sloppiness or the flat prose as the absence of even the slightest complication. Carter describes himself as a fan of Ronald Reagan. Surely from that point of view, not every single thing Bush has ever done in his whole entire life can be utterly deplorable. What about increasing AIDS funding? What about deposing the Taliban and bringing NATO into Afghanistan?
Yet even Carter, who depicts Bush's presidency in the gravest possible terms, seems unable to muster any personal antagonism toward the fellow. In a recent interview, he said he thought he would like Bush if he knew him. Why, after he has ''curtailed our freedoms, mortgaged our economy, savaged our environment and damaged our standing in the world,'' as the jacket of Carter's book has it, does this president remain so hard for the people who condemn him in such terms to hate?
The best explanation, I think, is that Bush's critics esteem him too little to despise. Most of the current wave of animosity posits a marionette in the White House rather than a malefactor. Like Warren Harding or William McKinley, Bush is seen by his enemies on the left not as a prime mover, but as the useful idiot of the reactionary right. Most of them share the view of Garry Trudeau, who portrays Bush in ''Doonesbury'' as an asterisk in a Roman helmet. Accurate or not -- and I do tend to agree with it -- the view of Bush as a basically limited and shallow person has certain consequences. You can't despise a simpleton for his simplicity. You can't hate a man who isn't there.

Save Our Wild Salmon
Columbia & Snake Rivers Campaign

In The Spotlight
Lower Snake Dam Removal Will Save Taxpayers Billions of Dollars and Boost Regional Economy
New study shows energy, transportation and irrigation benefits can be replaced cost-effectively as part of salmon recovery plan
Removing four dams on the lower Snake River in Washington state will save U.S. taxpayers and Northwest electricity consumers billions of dollars, according to a new study prepared by a coalition of taxpayer, business and conservation groups.
The study, entitled Revenue Stream, examines the economic impact of dam removal and salmon recovery in the Pacific Northwest. In addition to taxpayer savings of up to $5 billion, the study finds that increased tourism, new outdoor recreation, and improved sport and commercial fishing opportunities could generate more than $20 billion in revenue for the region.

Ann Coulter Uses Gay Slur Against John Edwards
By Yoji Cole

© DiversityInc 2007 ® All rights reserved. No article on this site can be reproduced by any means, print, electronic or any other, without prior written permission of the publisher.

And in today's issue of "What was [she or he] thinking?" we have conservative pundit Ann Coulter demonstrating that she has no sense of decency by her use of a gay slur describing presidential candidate John Edwards.

Her callous disrespect for both Edwards and gays is telling of her inability to espouse the Christian ideals that she regularly attempts to trumpet as convervative values.

Speaking at the Conservative Political Action Conference, Coulter said: "I was going to have a few comments on the other Democratic presidential candidate, John Edwards, but it turns out you have to go into rehab if you use the word 'faggot.'"

At that point, the audience gave out a collective "Ohhh" and then started to cheer, to which Coulture continued, "Kind of an impasse, can't really talk about Edwards."

So why use such a disparaging term for anyone? Is it impossible to debate Edwards on the merits of his political positions? Why use such a pejorative term?

It's because Coulter is filled with hate and disdain for people unlike her. Such a hateful outlook on people who are different being spoken from a bully pulplit destroys respect and understanding among communitites throughout the nation.

Coulter is a popular right-wing icon who received her law degree from the University of Michigan and founded the university's chapter of the conservative Federalist Society. A staunch affirmative-action foe, Coulter worked for the Center for Individual Rights, which litigated the 2003 University of Michigan anti-affirmative-action cases.

Coulter's first national media appearance came after she was hired in 1996 by MSNBC as a legal correspondent. According to Time magazine, the network dismissed her at least twice—first in February 1997, after she insulted the late Pamela Harriman, the U.S. Ambassador to France, as the network was covering her memorial service.

Coulter contracted with USA Today to cover the 2004 Democratic National Convention. She wrote one article that began "Here at the Spawn of Satan convention in Boston" and referred to some unspecified female attendees as "corn-fed, no make-up, natural fiber, no-bra needing, sandal-wearing, hirsute, somewhat fragrant hippie chick pie wagons." The newspaper declined to print the article citing an editing dispute over "basic weaknesses in clarity and readability that we found unacceptable."

Coulter proclaims Christian religious beliefs. At one public lecture, she proclaimed her faith in Jesus Christ, saying: "I don't care about anything else: Christ died for my sins and nothing else matters."

Well, whatever happened to "Love thy neighbor?"

What is Laura on; what is she snorting, drinking, smoking! “The Iraq War is ‘wearing!’” she spurts out! Wearing!!!??? What’s “wearing?” It’s like saying “Hitler is irritating!” Her facial expressions never change! She’s as bad as George! By George! Laura is no nation builder; no progress/innovation builder!

If Hillary Clinton is the next President, Bill would be out there making friends with the world! It’s a “formidable partnership” between Bill & Hillary! It’s not love!

He doesn’t speak to or for theVeterans; he speaks adjacent/near to them!

That was his opening joke, which means nothing! It’s untruth.
Then he stumbles, staggers, trips, trips-up, lurchs, slips, falls, hesitates, falters in his speech!
He cannot restore dignity to the White House, by lying, & by killing children & Americans!
These Conservatives & the Bush administration: They’re completely disrespecting these peers of a jury (in their judgment on Scooter Libby), & they’re completely disrespecting of Truth, Justice, & Democracy (in their call for a “pardon” of Libby)!
The Bush Administration says that it’s way too early to talk about a pardon (of/for Libby)! BUT IT WILL HAPPEN!!!

After all, Jesus looks Swede, not Middle Eastern!

3.6.7
Pope Pius the 12th attempted a trans-Atlantic exorcism on Hitler, but failed. Of coarse, Hitler was consenting, & willing; he had to be consenting & willing for the attempt to fail, at all!

The Nazi’s, a number/quantity of groups, & various populations are possessed!
Stalin, & Hitler were “possessed,” according to the official Vatican exorcist!
The Devil is on this planet! The Vatican’s chief exorcist (Pope Benedict’s caster-out-of-demons) claims so, at least! They believe that there is guy called “the devil.” The thought of a devil is “portable,” it’s one-size-fits-all, it’s a cartoonist’s dream: fire, a human construct, our creativity, our fears, a reflective, “good & evil,” so George Bush!
What is EVIL, anyway?
Aren’t we dismissive of evil? Invading a country, conquering a country, or countries? G. W. Bush’s plan is to take 7 countries in 5 years!
G. W. Bush is “possessed,” too!
He (G. W. Bush) maintains UNITARY EXECUTIVE POWER/AUTHORITY, FASCISM, TOTALITARIANISM, DESPOTISM, DICTATORSHIP, REPRESSION, OPPRESSION, & TYRANNY!
Can a mentally ill person be possessed?
Why does Devil attack a “Christian;” why not a Hindu or whoever else?
Why is Devil associated with Dracula?
The Devil is a symbol for Satanic Worship!
Satan means Adversary, in Hebrew & Greek!
Is there satanic relevance & existence?
Do people (American’s) believe in the “devil,”
a “guy” or “gal” named “the devil,”
a “supernatural” entity, force, body, unit, thing, article, being, person, individual,
creature,
“inherently” (& the embodiment of) evil,
the Prince of Darkness?
87% believe no
13% believe yes

3.6.7
I. Scooter Libby, Cheney’s former top aide, is guilty on 4 of the 5 charges against him (lying, & obstructing justice!); IT GOES RIGHT UP to Cheney! DICK Cheney is devastated, overwhelmed, overcome, confounded, shocked, distressed, distraught, & disappointed in the ruling!
And … G. W. Bush will, probably, pardon Libby (rather than have Libby serve up to 30 years in penitentiary/confinement/lock-up)! Conservative bloggers are calling for an immediate pardon! PARDON HITLER! Call a new trial, because Cheney wasn’t called to give evidence, state under oath, or lie! And Rumsfeld wasn’t called to testify, swear, confirm, & bear out! However they can & will do it, they will call for a new trial, probably!

The Cons: They want a pardon, because what the heck do they know; their street crud is solid; they’re the best, at obstructing justice, lying, crime, torture, wire-tapping phones, etc.

If we attack Iran:
Iran unleashes Hezbulluh
Iran has a million-man standing army
Iran has terrorist cluster’s
And the U. S. Military is “BROKEN,” now, because of G. W. Bush!

If there were roaches in the White House, Bush would release/discharge termites!
If there were rats in the White House, Bush would liberate & let loose mad, barmy, nutty, round the bend, zealous, ardent dogs!

Suni insurgent gihadist terrorist groups (or Alqeida), who are causing 92% of the casualties of American troops, are being (secretly) funded (in cash) by the American President, YA!
G. W. Bush (& First Lady) laughs, declaring how “complex, chaotic, and horrible” it is over there!

The Perfect WWIII: The U. S. versus Iran, China, & Russia!

If Cheney is killed (“by terrorists”), Bush will be President; AMAZING!

There is no need to kiss; animals don’t do it; there are a lot of things that we, humans, do that aren’t “natural!” Do you understand how many stupid things that we do, sexually? Fetishes; licking ears or noses, licking balls, sucking on toes! What is normal? Yes, procreation is how we have kids! Sexuality isn’t procreation! Is “breeding” “natural?”

When it comes to Sexuality, we, as a species, go crazy/nuts. Somehow we think that we can legislate it away, pray it away, imagine it away. So far as we act this way, we will never advance as a species; rather, we will kill each other with our hate! Do animals (in their sexuality) kill each other, with hate, abhorrence, detestation, odium, revulsion, disgust, opposition, hostility, conflict, legalism, gay-bashing, murder? Nope!

“Haters” need a plant extract to munch on!

Bush is threatening vetoing the 9.11 Bill because one part of the Bill would offer Union protections! Lieberman is behind this Bill!!!

A Taliban leader acknowledges that Osama Bin Laden is alive & in contact with the Taliban; thanks to G. W. Bush for that!

Bush Lied, People Died! It’s true, because it’s in bold!

The Vice-President (Dick Cheney) is a “Vice-Tard!”

There was no “war on terror;” there never was a “war on terror!” We created “terror,” & “terrorism,” & we created “terrorists,” & we created/tolerate a Bush administration that/who “terrorizes!”

The 1970’s were the booming, thriving, active, flourishing, developing years of the Middle Class (in America). Then, with Reagan’s Presidency, the dismantling, destruction, & demolition of the Middle Class began!

BRING THE TROOPS HOME, before we continue to “waste” more lives!
Bush is wasting valuable resources, & wasting valuable lives!
And the war is poorly managed!
The war is a mistake & a disaster, for no purpose that we can define!

3.1.7
Let’s talk about the 55,000 (troops) “wasted” lives in Vietnam!!!
Let’s talk about the hundreds of thousands of “wasted” lives in the Iraq/Afghanistan War, that’s become a Civil War & World War III!
“Wasted” Troops Lives is a “necessary” part of war, according to Politicians like Bush, & Cheney, & Rumsfield, & Rove, & those in CONTROL!

3.1.7
The “End-Times” folks are BIG Bush fans!
The Bin Laden Family are GOOD Bush friends/associates/acquaintances/links/contacts, obviously; Osama Bin Laden’s brother was (eating breakfast, in Washington, DC) with George H. W. Bush on the morning of 9.11.01, when the planes went/crashed into the WTC!

3.1.7
Congress has not approved the Iraq/Afghanistan war.
And Congress is not cutting/eliminating the funds for the war, and they are not stopping/halting the “escalation!”

3.1.7
Bush is funding Alqeida/Suni’s!
We, thus, formed/invented the “war on terror,” and we produced/crafted “terrorism,” by
means of our sustaining/supporting Bush!
We created the ruin of Democracy,
we shaped the lies,
we fashioned the “lack of caring” of G. W. Bush;
we manufactured the “no sense of right & wrong,” the “no conscience,” the “no ethics,”
the “no remorse,” the “no principles” of G. W. Bush!

3.1.7
The U. S. Constitution does not give us rights to food, housing, clothing, health care, etc!
We need non-profit health care!
We need non-profit hospitals!
We have 47 million uninsured American’s!
Germany & Switzerland have excellent health care; it’s about $3500.00, per person!
In America, its costs about $7000.00, per person!
But, in England, health care is broken, & privatized, because they wanted health care to be like that of America’s health care system; broken, & privatized, and for profit!

3.1.7
We did not go into Iraq to LIBERATE Iraq from the Tyranny of Saddam Hussein;
Bush said, “We’re not a Nation-builder!”
We went in because Bush said that Iraq was connected with 9-11, & that we’re going to go after the terrorists, & we’re going to go after those who struck the WTC, & we’re going to find the WMD, and, and, and … !
We’re there because of the oil! We’re there to create terrorists, terrorism, everlasting war, destruction! We’re there for money! We’re there to destroy Democracy, at home & abroad!

3.1.7
New Washington Post ABC News Poll:
Obama – 44%
Hillary – 33%
Edwards –
Giuliani –
McCain –



3.1.7
Congress is looking at:
“Don’t Ask, Don’t Tell,” legislation enacted back in 1993 under Congress (& President Bill Clinton); will they throw it in the garbage, now (finally)?
They need to do the same with DOMA (Defense Of Marriage Act), also legislation enacted in 1993!

John McCain (just as/like Rudy Giuliani) is, repeatedly, announcing to audiences/crowds that he’s running for President ; repeatedly announcing!!! INSANE!!! The Democrats who are running for President, they are only made one formal announcement; that’s all it takes! But the republicans are idiotic/stupid, not to forget!

They may move the Primary, nationwide, up to February 5th, yearly! Barack Obama & Hilary Clinton are pushing this legislation!

3.1.7
A man walked into an Indiana Bank & tried to cash a $50,000.00 check written from “King of King, Lord of Lords;” he said it was from God!!!

3.1.7
Congress has powers equal to the President, but Congress is being told that they shouldn’t use them. So Congress isn’t getting anything done, now, because Republican & Democrat Congressperson’s want to side with the President, & look like good “citizens,” rather than do what’s right!
So, the question is: Who has the Power; Congress or the President? I guess it’s the President! The authority is narrowed to the President, so that no legislation will get done, & Congress is incompetent, useless, inept, bungling, lacking ability, unskilled, ineffectual, not up to it, hopeless (meanwhile), letting Bush do whatever he wants!

3.1.7
And Congress doesn’t care about the working class men & women, not wanting another labor union & the protections, benefits, & bargaining power (provided)!
The Republican’s are anti-working, anti-American; useless, not getting anything done (& not doing anything for the people), in Congress!
If the Democrats had 65 seats, things in Congress would be getting done, but the Republicans are entirely unhelpful, uncooperative, contrary, awkward, unaccommodating, obstructive, unsupportive, not ready to give a hand, disobliging!
It Defines Democracy, social equality, egalitarianism, classlessness, consensus (antonym: Dictatorship)!

3.1.7
Referring to homosexuality, The Episcopalians are saying: Discriminate, or you can’t be a part of this church; Christianity is not about loving, or being inclusive, but they (the Episcopalians) insist this is how Americans & Christians are supposed to act/be!
The American Anglicans need to stand up against this discrimination that is ordered (only) to please the Bishop!

2.28.7
“OCCUPATION” OF YOUR BRAIN

We’re using our troops as chum, chow, cannon fodder

G. W. Bush says that:
Despite the public opinion on the war in Iraq, that he’s going to send more troops to Iraq (SURGE, ESCALATION)!

We’re exporting our Democracy
The fact that we’re fighting them over there but not here makes it fake, false, counterfeit, forged, phony, bogus, sham!
The FAKE “War On Terrorism” (Is A Joke)!
The FAKE War On Terrorism is a joke!

2.28.7
We have a foolish, crazy, barmy, nutty, nuts, round-the-bend, maddddddd-man in the
White House; he uses pieces of the Constitution & The Bill Of Rights as his toilet
paper!
He’s taking away health care for the children, & for the elderly!
He’s taking away health care for everyone!
He’s taking away the middle class!
He’s taking away Veteran’s benefits!
He’s taking away social security, Medicare, Medicaid, education, employment!
He’s taking away the environment, the air, the earth

We’re signing our death warrant!
We’re all in mortal danger!
It’s completely falling apart & disintegrating!
We have the insane & the incompetent in the State Department & in the Government
It’s essential that we “escalate,” & that we stay there (in war) forever!

2.28.7
We have no Habeus Corpus in this country, anymore!
We have Marshall Law that can be imposed, much easier than in the past!
We should run by the Ten Commandments rather than by the Constitution, according to G. W. Bush!
We have killed hundreds of thousands of innocent Iraqi’s; what have we to be happy about!!!???
Let’s just be nice, pleasant, good, kind, polite, fine, finicky, fastidious, & careful to Halliburton, & to G. W. Bush, & to Laura, & to Cheney, & to CondoLIEza, & to Rummy, & to all of the other Neo-Con’s, Religious-Right-Wing, & Corporatists!!!

There is no cure for Conservatism, but there is a treatment, action, conduct, behavior, handling, dealing, management, healing!

2.28.7

NEWS:
The U. S. has been & is pumping money, & a great deal of money, without congressional authority, without any congressional oversight, for covert operations in the Middle East, where it wants to stop the Shiite spread or the Shiite influence; The report (in The New Yorker) goes on to say that these funds have been given to the hands of three Suni Gihadist groups, who are connected to Alqeida, but want to take on Hezbuluh.
Unbelievable/Incredible/Great/Mind-boggling/Amazing! So, we’ll turn our heads because the U. S. Gov’t & friends (Alqeida-Suni-Gihadist) want to take on Hezbuluh!!!
Talk about the “Bush Crime Family!”

2.28.7
There is a steady erosion of the value of the U. S. dollar, and a steady erosion of real commodities.

2.28.7
The numbers are all phony; if we did our study’s like France do their study’s, America’s unemployment rate is at 10%!

2.28.7
The Fed’s aren’t doing anything when it comes to climate control; they’ve really botched this, & missed the boat (on this); they don’t move (on this) & develop some sort of standards!
By 2010, alternative & renewable resources are to meet 100% of Oregon’s energy needs!
It’s a “renewable portfolio standard.”
It’s about the environment, the economy, & the whole issue in the Middle East will be resolved by America developing an energy policy that goes away from the fossil fuels; to bring fairness & stability throughout the world! We need an independent energy policy for America, & for the world!
We embrace/clinch/hold an idea, & we’re on a roll; we can use bio-fuels, conservation, & tax credits to support this new investment in alternative & renewable energy.

2.28.7
There are plans, in the works, to hit/strike/thump/batter/knock Iran! There are plans, & they have been plans forever! It’s not “operational order/plan,” however, yet (everything is contingency)! Of coarse there’s plans, & it’s more intense! Cheney say’s that “all options are on the table!” The case is being built! There are American military troop raids occurring in Iran, since Summer of 2006! It’s an “escalation!”
Bush is trying to build a case, publicly, where Iranian’s have been & are responsible for killing American’s while inside Iraq, that Iran is wacking our boys, that Iran is a threat, that we have a right to respond! That’s all part of the game; Bush means what he says, he wants to bomb, he wants to strike, he wants to do something about it, & before he leaves office (in January of 2009)! Bush wants to justify our response in the eyes of the neo-con “nuts!”

2.28.7
The U. S. military will not be able to (quickly & fully) respond to another crisis, now; Bush has destroyed the military of America!

North Dakota has enough coal to power America for 900 years! But the environment will be trashed!

Funding is being cut for veterans; brain injury & amputations; there is no money, any more, for the veterans!!!

It, supposedly, was “WMD,” & “intelligence failure” that took us into this Iraq & Afghanistan war! Nonsense, garbage, baloney, twaddle, claptrap, drivel, gobbledygook, gibberish, hot air!

The predominant violence in Iraq (occurring) is Sectarian violence; that means that it’s a civil war;
The President is doing whatever he wants; G. W. Bush can “rock & roll” the way that he wants to, with his policies!

They say that the greatest terrorist threat is Alqeida & it’s leadership. But its leadership can be considered the Bush Administration, for its funding of Alqeida; so the neo-con Bush Administration is the greatest threat to our country, & the most dangerous “TERRORISM/TERRORISTS” to us all!

Osama Bin Forgotten

2.28.7
It’s a “gag” order: Patients told to keep quiet, & access to the patients is restricted; more cover up stuff, right in front of us. Documentary work is being limited! It’s not about mold in a building; it’s about veterans grievously wounded, & they aren’t getting the medical, psychological, & emotional aid/help/assistance they need! Walter Reed Medical Center is telling its patients to shut their mouths & not speak about the conditions at the Medical Center, & media is not allowed to speak to the patients! The soldiers CAN NOT speak to anyone in the media, and they can’t get help! WE ARE NOT SALUTING AMERICA’S BRAVEST, VETERANS OF THE U. S. MILITARY!

2.28.7
We can’t get a non-binding resolution voted on in the Senate!
We can’t get minimum wage increase voted on in the Senate!
We can’t get the Democrat Congressperson’s to cut the money & cut “escalation!”
Democrats are afraid that they’ll get hit with being “weak” on funding “terrorism,” if they proceed with cutting the war funding!
The Majority Party is stuck in the mud, the President is not listening, & this is going to continue until January of 2009!
They don’t listen to logic, & they don’t care!

2.28.7
The money continues on & on, here, & there is nothing that we can do about it!
IRAG GOES ON! This is what America gets! This President is wrong. Billions of dollars spent. Lies, Lies, Lies. People say that they flatly refuse to put impeachment on the table. We’re doing this dance, to a slower tune. Congress is afraid of being radical, & unpatriotic, & idiotic!

This President has to change in 30 days! Pilosi has to say this! But I’m not confident! Media will “cover” all the gov’t needs, it will be the same old stuff, no turn-around, Democrats will be vilified, Bush will do what he wants to do, jobs will be protected, money is protected & taken! Year 5, same old stupidity & insanity & shit! Complacency, sound-bytes, rhetoiric, same old fear, and shit!

We have a President who, literally, stole the Treasury!
There are people begging for the right to DISAGREE!

2.28.7
I am not in support of slavery, but half the country participated in it, at a period in time!
I am not in support of Congresspersons who are in support of war & “escalation;” it’s the money in gov’t, in campaigns, etc. $300 million, $400 million; they’re so concerned about being re-elected instead of doing what’s right!
We voted in the Congress, &, now, they’re (Congress is) timid!
The Americans, in elected positions, are turning their backs on the troops by not getting them out of there.
They have no regard for the troops’ opinion!
The Party’s do not have the tenacity to cut the funding to force change!

Pilosi is for Public (Campaign) Financing; that’s very good!

The kids are too fat, & we need to do something about it!
An 8 year old kid is 200 (plus) lbs, in England!
25 million kids, under 18 yrs old, are overweight, or at risk!
Children are going to live shorter lives than their parents; now, there’s progress!
54 million students attend 123,000 schools in America!
By 2015 – we’ll be spending $4 trillion on healthcare!
We’re so afraid to have gov’t get involved!
Gov’t has not, even, gotten involved in outsourcing! Hold Corporations accountable, & make them pay!
It’s (horribly) pathetic that a mother can feed her child (so much), & call it love!
Junk-food should be outlawed in schools; absolutely! Not one trans fat should be found
in school meals; it’s, already, being done in some schools!
We need diet change!
We need to outlaw vending machines, completely, except with an availability of healthy foods, & water!
It can be done!
One reason why we have such fat kids (in America) is we’re a “rich” nation!

We need, too, climate change!
We need universal healthcare!

We eat what’s marketed to us, what is served us, what tastes good!
We want to eat, & be taken care of!

What’s marketed to us, we’re paying for it!
Can we have Gov’t mandates? Or can we have too much freedom? Can Corporation’s go out & take advantage of us & have no regard for our health? Don’t we want a cure for cancer? Don’t we want healthy food, also? Don’t we want the Pledge of Allegiance, along with some orange-juice?
Don’t we want a different attitude?
We need nutritionally sound, healthy snack, & nutritionally sound, healthy drink!
We need fresh fruit’s, & unsullied veggie’s!
Poor people can’t afford the good, first-rate foods, really! It’s a snowball turned into an avalanche!
Is weight loss not good?

It starts at home.
And the home has changed, a lot, in America.

It’s not market-driven; it’s a lack of education!
Are we doing enough?

Why are you driving that SUV?
Why do you have the lights on, Al Gore?

Gov’t needs to step into schools, & mandate, & legislate! It’s a tough word, YA! It’s a discussion every school board meeting should be having! Why shouldn’t we be concerned about what we eat?
Thanks to the media for covering that 8 year old who’s over 200 lbs!

Curriculum, set of courses, prospectus, program, syllabus, core curriculum, national curriculum, has to be changed; go to diet class, & you have to pass it!
We need more schooling, & less time off! No Summer Break! Year-round school! EDUCATION is #1 and Most Imperative!

Do you believe Joe Wilson and Valerie Plame have a legitimate civil lawsuit against Rove, Cheney & Libby?

If so, were the actions of the Vice President's office criminal in regard to Wilson's New York Times piece and the outing of Plame's identity as a CIA operative?

Best Answer - Chosen by Asker

Yes. The special investigation seems to have been competently done and has identified who was responsible for the deliberate leak. The outing is a civil crime in that it has destroyed Plame and Wilson's careers. What country will trust Wilson in a diplomatic capacity and allow Plame to join him? The outing has cost them their chance to serve their country further and their future financial earnings. They deserve compensation for that.According to Time magazine, the uncovering of an active CIA operative is a Federal crime. The outing has cost the US their effective services. So whoever was responsible for the outing is also guilty of a federal crime and has damaged the country's undercover capacity.

Should Valarie Plame and Joe Wilson be jailed for their lies and deceits against the Bush Administration?

In the Muslim world they would receive Capital punishment.


Best Answer - Chosen by Asker

They lied when Plame said that she was not the person who sent Wilson to Nigeria.They lied when the said that Wilson was qualified for the mission.They lied when they said that Plame was a CIA agent when she was just a clerk.They lied when they said that Rove was responsible for the "outing".They lied when they said that Libby was responsible for the "outing".They lied when they said that anyone in the Bush administration was responsible for the "outing".They lied when they knew that Armitage was responsible for the outing and did not make it public.They lied when their lips moved.
