More deaths in Iraq.  Bush is behind Iraq and a hard place.  Message for Dubya:  How about volunteering for your own war, big shot? 

Feb 13:

Predident's military record  Well, nobody bought the measly payroll records so now they overwhelm us with crap.  Still doesn't explain those missing months in 1973, Dubya.  Was that your binge year ?  Anyway, it's obvious he's a wimp compared to Kerry and Clark.

Bush's teeth:  Finally, PROOF, that George had a dental plan, and he indeed showed up for a checkup.  Well, that accounts for his whereabouts.  I wonder if he flew that day.  Reminds me of Saddam's check-up by the special ops.  

Bulldog Rumsfeld comes out of his doghouse again:  On the defensive again.  Listen to his voice.  It's weak, wavering.  All the Bush people are on the defensive.   Good.  They have a lot of explaining to do about their ideology.  Their policies don't make sense and don't help America.  That's obvious. 

Bush goes to PA high school to talk about himself   He tried to scare people about taxes.  Of course he doesn't tell them that tax cuts benefit the wealthy most.  High school grads with jobs won't save a penny on taxes.  Tell the truth, George.  Tax cuts are for your buddies, not for the middle class.

Attack dog Condy comes out of hiding:   Okay, Condy,let's go over this one more time.  We KNOW Saddam was an evil man.  We KNOW we're better off without him.  The issue is HOW, and WHEN, we got rid of him.  
     The way George did it has made things MUCH WORSE for us, because it's ruined our credibility all around the world.  George Bush has given the terrorists hundreds of more reasons and more opportunities to attack us.  There's no defense for that.
      Got that, Condy?  It's the arrogance, stupid.  He's dangerous.

Clark ends campaign:  What a great human being he is.  A real hero, thoughtful, courageous, and truthful.  Thanks for your contribution to our country, Mr. Clark.  I hope he gets a great position in the new Kerry administration.

Bush and Khan:  Do you ever notice how Bush seems to be in an altered state, a euphoria, when he talks about war, terror, evil, weapons, fighting, and so on?  Hey George, we KNOW it's a dangerous world.  We just don't trust you.  You're part of the problem.  Get it ? 
      This smacks of 9/11 all over again. How long has the "intelligence" of our country known about this sale of weapons info and technology?  It's been going on for YEARS.  Another intelligence failure, NOT a success.     
      CIA trained Mujhahadin during Afghan Russian war.  Admit it George, our government did business with Bin Laden at one time.   Bottom line is, there's much more here than meets the eye, here.  Cover up in progress...stay tuned.

Secrets:  The Bush administration is very secretive and evasive.  Beyond all the arguing about policies, issues, etc., one has to ask, "why are they like that?"  They have an agenda that they know darn well is not acceptable to at least 50 % of the population, that's why.  They're arrogant and don't want to answer any questions.  Sorry, pals, this is a democracy.  We pay your salaries.  You either listen or good bye.

Greenspan--Summary:  High productivity affecting job market.  We're doing more with less people.  Ideal unemployment rate more like 4%, not 6%.  He's positive on job growth possibilities, encourages trade.  Sees steady growth likely.  Good news I guess, but again, the question is, what kind of jobs ?  A lot of very skilled people can't find work.  They're overqualified or need to learn a whole new career.

Jobs  Supposedly we'll have a ton of new jobs soon.  When, George?  Better be real soon.  Unemployed people have lots of time to vote, plus a damn good reason; you.

Bush assumptions backfire.  The Bush administration is surprised that the nation isn't buying all of the "terror" hype and begging them for a military state ( Patriot Act ).  They thought it was a given that they would assume command and control for 2 terms. 

      It's backfired.  Both at home and abroad, the Bush administration has its back against the wall.  At this point, even finding Bin Laden wouldn't save George.  Too many other questions about him.  Bush can't be trusted, simple as that. 

     Yeah, there's terror, but we don't trust Bush to lead us through this.  There's a better approach and better people for the job.  New administration, with Kerry, Clark, and many others, will work out a solution and develop a true coalition.  It needs to be a team effort.

Kerry Wins 2 Southern States !!
     Bye Bye Bush....... Democrats
are uniting against him.

Al Gore's speech: Wow !  He's hopping mad !!
      Can you blame the guy?  I think he screamed on purpose, just to get the free air time and get his point across.   It worked great.  They played the clip a bunch of times.  I like Al, he stands up for what he believes.  He adds to the pressure on the creeps in the white house.

Bulldog Rumsfeld comes out of his doghouse to talk  -- "It's hard to be a policeman( re:  military policeman)", says BD  So, don't be one, then.    To paraphrase him..."bad, bad, terrorists.  We kill 'em all soon.  Good, good president.  Need better intelligence.  Can't sleep."    

Cheyney duck hunt  "Who gives a f__k if I shot a duck",
says Dick.   Don't you love the symbolism...shooting ducks.  I mean, at least shoot something that can fight back, Dick.  Not Cheyney's style, as we know.  And, like he didn't talk business with
the Supreme Court judge.  Who do you think you're kidding, Dick ?  Get real!  Who goes to dinner and doesn't eat.
 
Reporters grilling spokesman about Nat. Guard duty
      It's obvious they're hiding something.  When someone keeps repeating the same story, same words, over and over, and doesn't answer questions, it's so clear.  It's bulls__t. 

White House spokesman 
       I really feel sorry for this guy. 
I mean, he's the one that has to tell the lies, over and over.  His voice quavers.  He's trying to explain why partying action hero George Dubya got off easy during Vietnam.  Lucky for Scott he won't last long in that job.  Remember "airy" Fleshman, I mean Fleisher.  He was too mean so they told him to take a hike.

White House's
new financial report
--More war = more jobs.
"chicken in every pot" story. 

       Bush is on the ropes with the economy, so they trot out a new report boasting about all the new jobs that will be created this year.  Yeah, right. 
That's what you said last year, George.
And when Bush got elected he claimed he was going to create millions of new jobs.  NOT !
       Besides, what KIND of jobs are being created?  More service jobs, like flipping hamburgers.  Real nice, George.  Thanks!
        Oh, I forgot about jobs in the military, sorry.  At least 2 new jobs created every day in Iraq, due to "attrition".
        And don't forget the high-level, white-collar crime jobs rebuilding Iraq.  Quite a few of those around. 
You need to know the right people, though.
        Oh yeah, security companies are hiring, too.  If you're an ex-con, like guns, can't get a better job, or want to
be patriotic, you can apply.  But these jobs don't pay well, so George wants to import some immigrants to fill them.

Bush in Michigan
and Missouri
       He says the same old stuff.  Promises, promises.  Democrats will make the government bigger.  Yeah, George? Isn't the military a government item.  Didn't your budget increase that in a big way ?
        What gets me is that he can go
around shaking hands, pretending like
he cares.  People buy into it.  They look at him as a father figure, someone who "protects" them.

Bush Meets the Press

     Seeing Mr. Bush on Meet The Press reminds me of the old attorney’s dilemma.  Do you put the defendant on the stand to testify?  They had no choice, of course, but he didn’t look good.  A very reluctant witness, shifty, tense, defensive, vague.
     He won’t look good on the campaign trail against the eloquent and brilliant John Kerry, who won contests at Yale in debating.   Bush won’t get my vote.  I think he’s done for.  Maybe the Republicans can cough up a better candidate in 2008.
