The poodle shits on Bush
Harry Hope
While Dubya can always rely on media sycophants like Chris Matthews
and Norah O'Donnell to prop him up, he probably wasn't expecting the
biggest slam of the evening to come from his brother-in-arms Tony
Blair.
During their joint press conference, Blair was asked, "Will you miss
the president? What will you miss about him? And for the president,
what will you miss about Tony Blair and what are you looking for in an
eventual replacement?"
http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/article/2006/05/25/AR2006052501774.html
Here's Bush's response:
BUSH:
I'll miss those red ties is what I'll miss.
(laughter)
I'll say one thing.
He can answer the question.
Don't count him out; let me tell it to you that way.
I know a man of resolve and vision and courage, and I - my attitude is
I want him to be here so long as I'm the president.
Very nice.
And here's Blair's answer:
BLAIR:
Well, what more can I say?
(awkward pause)
Probably not wise to say anything more at all.
(awkward pause)
You guys, come on.
I want you to - you're the British delegation; ask a few serious
questions.
(much coughing and shuffling of papers)
Ouch!

Did anyone ask why the US sides with Israel against the Palestinians?
After all, there was never a security justification for the occupation,
yet the US has been financing it thru its $billion annual aid to Israel
since the occupation started.
Why does the democrat party support the Israeli occupation of the West
Bank? The fact is, that occupation is the cause of the terror attacks
on the United States.

The REAL question is why you seem to think the Democrats are funding the
occupation of the West Bank when you know that it's the Republican majority
in Congress and the Republican President who are running the goverment. Is
that the best you can come up with to blame Democrats for the trouble? How
many times has Bush gone over to Israel and tried to mediate a solution?
Answer - ZERO. Blame yourself for the troubles, you put the jackasses in
office.

$6 billion a year. The USA has given each Israeli citizen over
$20,000. Israel gets 1/3 of American foreign aid, mostly in military
hardware for enforcing apartheid. Why? Israel has surpluses. They
are not a poor country.

I dont understand why the republicans I respect, Newt, Condi, Cheney,
Rumsfeld, Rush, Bush, side with Israel and against the Palestinians.
Esp since 9/11 when it became clear the US was being attacked because
of its support of the occupation. Eisenhower had a very sensible
policy of neutrality regarding Israel/Palestine. Why modern day
republicans dont gravitate towards that policy is a mystery to me.
so basically I am hoping the democrats would have a contrary policy
simply to gain political advantage. From the looks of the bipartisan
cheering of PM Olmert during his speech to Congress there is no hope
for a change in US policy of supporting the occupation.

GOP is HISTORY
I don't know what there is to respect in your list of Republicans, with the
possible exception of Gingrich, who has shown a remarkable independence from
the GOP leadership. Come to think of it, Trent Lott is showing a lot of that
same independence ... could there be a connection? Like being stabbed in
the back, perhaps?
The neocons have destroyed any possible hope for a settlement of the
Palestinian cause. You can kiss that goodbye, it's all downhill from here.
They are the agents of death sent by Lucifer to create the conditions for
his favorite son the anti-Christ. And that makes Bushco the official
sponsor of Armageddon on Planet Earth. Hope you like a warm climate for your
afterlife because the Bible says those who help the blasphemers will be
joined for eternity with them.
Simple Simon
I remember reading Gingrich protesting that the intelligence
community proper didn't want to spin intelligence any ol' way a
President wants it. After all, he said (paraphrasing), a President
needs intelligence to get behind and support his policies.
Screw him.

I was being facetious. Gingrich and Lott are showing independence the old
fashioned way - they earned it by being stabbed in the back by the GOP
leadership. Seems that's the only way out of the party these days, is
through a forced resignation or death.

Sounds like another club I've heard of.
I was surprised at how much indifference there was to DeLay's
profession of love for the GOP when he withdrew from re-election.
Not a single word about "America" or "American", it was all
"Republican Party, Republican Party, Republican Party." If a
Democrat had done that, they'd still be bitching about overt
partisanship coming before our common status as Americans.

My guess is DeLay believes he can beat the charges and would be welcomed
back with open arms by the GOP. He's a shrewd operator and understands what
a liability he is to the party. But it's unlikely he'll win his election as
more connections to Abramoff keep coming to light.

Swiftly Defending DeLay
A somewhat misleading pro-DeLay ad is funded by $200,000 from a donor
who also bankrolled the Swift Boat Veterans for Truth.
February 20, 2006
Modified:February 20, 2006
Summary
A newly formed conservative group is running a TV ad in Houston
implying that liberal billionaire George Soros is "the source" of an
earlier anti-DeLay ad by liberal groups. The pro-DeLay ad is somewhat
misleading. Soros gave the liberal groups early funding two years ago,
but there's no evidence he funded the anti-DeLay ad.
However, the source of the pro-DeLay ad turns out to be a Houston
homebuilder who gave $200,000 to air it, and who also was an early
financier of the Swift Boat Veterans for Truth in the 2004
presidential campaign. Analysis
The Swift Boat Connection
Tracking down the source of this ad was something of a chore. The
sponsor is the Free Enterprise Committee, a new group formed about the
time the anti-DeLay ad hit the air in Texas. It is a so-called "527"
political committee based in Washington, DC. It first registered with
the Internal Revenue Service on Jan. 31 of this year. Its current
registration form lists it as "connected" to the Free Enterprise Fund,
an anti-tax group headed by New York merchant banker Mallory
Factor. Its policy council is co-chaired by supply-side guru Arthur
Laffer, former Republican vice presidential candidate Jack Kemp, and
MSNBC's pro-business crusader Lawrence Kudlow. The new committee has
yet to file any disclosure of its income or expenses, and a spokesman
for the Free Enterprise Fund declined to say who had paid for the
DeLay ad.
However, as the Houston Chronicle was first to report over the
weekend, we were able to confirm that the ad is being financed by a
$200,000 donation from Houston homebuilder Bob Perry. As we reported
in 2004, Perry was the main source of initial funding for Swift Boat
Veterans for Truth at the time they launched their attack on the
Vietnam War record of Democratic presidential candidate John Kerry.
Perry gave $100,000 of the first $158,750 received by the Swift Boat
group, according to its first disclosure report. Perry is probably the
biggest campaign donor in Texas. He and his wife Doylene gave more
than $3 million to Texas Republicans during the 2002 elections and
more than $2 million during the 2004 elections, according to a
database maintained by the Institute on Money in StatePolitics .

[ Perry is a Bush Pioneer and has raised hude piles of moeny for Bush
and teh GOP.]

Where there's Republican money being passed around there are usually crimes

the coming months as he begins churning out his slime.

They've been fighting for 3000 years. And the stupid Texas cumquat thinks
he's gonna go in and teach 'em all to suddenly live under a Jeffersonian
democracy by making effeminate threats from the oval office. How stupid can
one person be?!
