BARBARA'S DAILY BUZZFLASH MINUTE
Added to America’s “kitchen table” worries, will our votes be counted for the person we actually vote for come November 2008??? “NY: 50 Percent of Sequoia Voting Machines Flawed [1] … New York state is in the process of replacing its lever voting machines with new voting equipment, but the state revealed recently that it has found problems with 50 percent of the roughly 1,500 ImageCast optical-scan machines (shown in the video above) that Sequoia Voting Systems has delivered to the state so far -- machines that are slated to be used by dozens of counties in the state's September 9 primary and November 4 presidential election.”
The difference between the Democratic Kennedy Family Political Dynasty, and the Repuglican Bush Family Political Dynasty, among other things, primarily is Ted Kennedy, a statesman, [2] who cares about the American people! An ailing Ted Kennedy arrived in the Senate to cast his vote for the American people, while George Bush, the worst president ever, vetoed the bill [3] that benefits the American people! [4]
Those ordering torture and abuse are as guilty as those who committed the act itself, they should also be held accountable!! Ordering torture and abuse [4] is as criminal, as offensive, and as unacceptable as carrying out the orders, perhaps more so! “BLITZER: … the evidence in there would suggest that top administration officials who were in charge of authorizing what you believe was torture, and many others believe was torture. MAYER: ... in fact, the whole top of the administration, the president, the vice president, David Addington … Donald Rumsfeld, the secretary of defense, Doug Feith ... There's a whole slew of people … this wasn't the action of some bad, rotten apples [5] on the bottom of the barrel as people were saying at Abu Ghraib. It was a program that was put into place by the top of our government to use the toughest possible terms possible to get information.”
As I listen to all these, Repuglican bobble-head talkers, all these Repuglican pundits, assure us that any savings we might have up to $100,000 is safe because it’s insured by the FDIC, that’s the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation! I just have to wonder “when and if Bush is successful in bankrupting the entire country, what happens then?”!!!

It’s amazing what you can learn, even when you haven’t been there!!!! From the horse’s mouth to the American people: “BRIG. GEN. MARK MILLEY, U.S. ARMY: ‘Our estimate is, is that additional forces are needed during this fighting season …’ … BARBARA STARR, CNN PENTAGON CORRESPONDENT: … Afghanistan is clearly the war now without enough troops and not enough equipment [6] ... the Joint Chiefs of Staff is conducting an internal review on whether to recommend Afghanistan should become as high a military priority as Iraq. Until now, Iraq has always been the major combat arena. U.S. commanders in Afghanistan are asking for more troops to be sent within weeks … Commanders say the threat is deeper than just the growing number of insurgents. The Taliban have more money and better organization.”

“Al Qaeda Seeks to Disrupt U.S. Economy, Experts Warn.” [7] Sadly, it’s become quite obvious, Osama bin Laden did not need “bombs and bullets” to disrupt the U.S. Economy”; no, sir, all bin Laden needed was George Bush! And, boy, has Bush succeeded in fulfilling bin Laden’s wildest dreams, as evidenced by the mess Bush has made of today’s economy!
“Lots of controversy over this billboard near Orlando, Florida. [8] It shows the burning World Trade Center on 9/11 and the message, ‘please don't vote for a Democrat.’ A businessman who lives in the area paid for it … ” How soon they forget, there’s that little matter of the infamous “August 6th PDB,” you remember that one, the one that said, “Osama bin Laden determined to strike within the U.S.; [9] yes, that’s the one George Bush (the ‘decider in chief’) chose to ignore, and last I heard George Bush is a Repuglican! Try as they do, the Repuglicans can’t blame George Bush’s ignorance on the Democrats!!!

“For the second time in two days, John McCain has referred to current events in “Czechoslovakia” – a country that officially ceased to exist in January of 1993.” [10] Just another example of McCain’s, Johnny come lately a “day late and a dollar short”! Poor John, he’s living in yesterday’s world, with yesterday’s solutions and yesterday’s tunnel vision! We need a leader who understands this modern world we live in and one who has today’s answers for today’s problems! A leader who can deal with today, tomorrow and the day after tomorrow, not someone who is bogged down and mired in the past! We are in desperate need for a change!!!
