I repeat---if in fact, as George Bush has said, “We don’t torture,” why would Cheney want an exemption for the CIA? Why did the CIA hide evidence of torture at Abu Ghraib, why did they keep the detainee’s body “on ice”? Why are Army “grunts” in prison for following orders, when the man who advocates for and orders torture is adding insult to injury by placing wreaths on the grave of the “Unknown Soldier”? The arrogance of this administration is unconscionable, the dishonesty egregious; and spinning lies does not equal redemption! It is way past time for them to go---IMPEACH BUSH AND HIS ENTIRE ADMINISTRATION!

So George Bush thinks “it’s deeply irresponsible to rewrite the history of how that war began”! Hmm, it began with all the Bush intelligence manipulations; “Weapons of Mass Destruction, mushroom clouds and yellowcake in Niger, a bin Laden/Saddam collaboration, an Iraqi/9-11 connection”! So now that we know there are no WMDs, no mushroom clouds, no nukes, no bin Laden/Saddam collaboration, and certainly no Iraqi/9-11 connection, who exactly is doing his best to try and rewrite history? Who is arrogant enough to think the American people are going to buy your lies again? You are right about one thing George Bush, we as a country must unite and look to the future---a future that does not include you as president, a future with someone who knows how to do the job of a President, one who truly believes in the sanctity of life, one who isn’t so anxious to sacrifice other people's children for his own personal gain!

Welcome to fascism right here in the United States! A world created by Dick Cheney, Karl Rove, George Bush, and the neo-cons for God's sake! Theirs is a world fashioned in the image of Hitler, one where the Fuehrer is God, where the law is the Fuehrer, where the people are but pawns to use and abuse, a world of never ending war and conquest! And if you don’t like the analogy, take a look at the history of Hitler and how he used religion, nationalism, and righteousness to plague the earth in an attempt to attain the same goal of world domination. Take a long look at Germany’s darkest hour and then you’ll see the blatant similarities, you’ll see the fall of freedom and democracy happening right before our very eyes, you’ll see the same images of those who would support the devil! I cannot and will not support a government that undermines everything America has stood for since the founding fathers wrote the Declaration of Independence, the Constitution of the United States, the laws that have made America the greatest country in the world. I will not support the desires of fascists, I will not support traitors who blindly follow a Fuehrer president, a moron who believes it would be easier to be a dictator!

Bush answers the majority of Americans who don’t trust his honesty---with more lies! Yessiree bobtail, that’s how the Bushies stand up to the truth and negative poll numbers, they continue to lie with more fervor than ever!! The embodiment of a soulless moron is what we’re witness to again and again each and every time George Bush launches a grassroots invited only audience campaign! Indeed he’s changed the tone in Washington from bad to the worst we’ve ever been subjected to by politicians who have the power to ruin our lives! Shh, be quiet, I hear a breeze, is it possible the winds of change are beginning to blow? This could be the one tornado that will do the entire world some good!

Just have to wonder if George Bush abandoned the hunt for Osama bin Laden because he needed the face of a terrorist to maintain his “war on terrah”? Or maybe he gave it up in deference to a former, now deceased, business partner, Salem bin Laden? Lest we forget it is written George and Salem together founded Arbusto Energy, George’s first failure in the world of business. Or perhaps the “hunt” didn’t bode well for those in the Carlyle Group whose business associates include the bin Laden family and powerful friends of the Bush family (even Poppy has been an associate of the Carlyle Group)! Whatever the reason, Osama bin Laden has not been captured “Dead or Alive”!

Who exactly “kicked butt” recently in California? Put this in your memo book Arnold---don’t mess with nurses! Don’t even try to come between a nurse and her patients. Don’t ever attempt to dictate policy when it involves quality of care, because there’s usually a smaller but more avid, more determined dynamo willing to fight tooth and nail, to the death if necessary, for the health care rights of human beings wherever the infirm, the disabled, the sick, and the dying are seeking quality care and the comfort they need and deserve!

KAREN HUGHES -- the epitome of How Not To Be A Diplomat and now Undersecretary of State for Public Diplomacy and Public Affairs! If America is depending on Ms. Hughes to change the hearts and minds of the people in the Middle East, we truly are in trouble! This is a lesson in how an uninformed woman has the audacity to accept a job she is not qualified to do. She hasn’t a clue and apparently doesn’t have a desire to learn anything about cultural differences. As far as I’m concerned, even for me right here in America, her demeanor and approach to every thing is arrogant, rude, and offensive! She is the epitome of why “I pray my son doesn’t ever play on the same team as her son”!
