“Democracy” is usually my code category for stuff the Bush administration does that pisses me off, usually becuase of the way they make a mockery of whatever the concept “Democarcy” has going for it
This post by Steve Ross says it exactly as I had been thinking, but Steve Blogged it, so there it is: The Mountaintop Cheney quote:“It’s absolutely essential that eight weeks from today, on Nov. 2, we make the right choice, because if we make the wrong choice then the danger is that we’ll get hit again and we’ll be hit Continue Reading
The following article, and several others like it, including the CBS 60 minutes report, along with numerous government records, and people who served (actually) in 1972 who nver saw Bush during the time when he supposedly was “fulfilling” his duties, are the real heart of the matter. The accusations of “forgery” do not impune these facts ONE IOTAQ. In fact, Continue Reading
Reporters and pundits keep going beyond the evidence to blur the lines between the Bush campaign and Swift Boat Veterans for Truth, a group that has been critical of John Kerry’s Vietnam war record. SpinSanity certainly has made a name for itself, showing us distortions on both sides, but I find little persuasive evidence shown for refuting the claim that Continue Reading
” I don’t want to hear anymore about planes crashing into buildings” I was reminded about this while watching the 9/11 analysis on NOW last night. Another “victory” for the White House PR that it successfully kept this from getting further treatment. How did this happen? Didn’t this provide a HUGE red flag that goes to the extreme negligence of Continue Reading
Bush Hits Kerry on Iraq and Hussein (washingtonpost.com) “If he had his way, Saddam Hussein would still be in power and would still be a threat to the security and to the world,” Bush said. Bush’s message was seconded by Miller, the keynote speaker at the Republican National Convention. Miller told the crowd in Huntington, W.Va., that the country is Continue Reading
Daily Kos :: Political Analysis and other daily rants on the state of the nation. Boston Globe, via KOS: But specialists interviewed by the Globe and some other news organizations say the specialized characters used in the documents, and the type format, were common to electric typewriters in wide use in the early 1970s, when Bush was a first lieutenant. Continue Reading
I added the RSS for Media Matters, just because Bill O’Reilly got so upset at the mere mention of their name on a Meet the Press segment with Paul Krugman. I also happen tho think that they’re “with it” in terms of their being a “media analysis group”, whom I tend to agree with. their website
Thanks to Eric, a new RSS I just added, who writes a good blog for this: Eric’s Tasty Morsels of Thought – RNC coverage and commentary RNC coverage and commentary
Before getting home and seeing the 9/11 analysis on NOW, I picked up Senator Graham’s book, reporting on what he found while chairing the Senate Intellignece Committee. I’ve read the first chapter and skimmed through several chapters, and now I’m reading it on from the end of Chapter One. One reviewer on Amazon gave it a low rating because Graham Continue Reading
MSNBC – CBS stands by documents on Bush’s Guard service Almost as soon as the documents were made public, questions were raised about their authenticity, with some experts saying they could be forgeries based on typographical examinations. The CBS statement released Friday said: “(T)he documents are backed up not only by independent handwriting and forensic document experts but by sources Continue Reading
This was great. A Must See, but ironically, the people who most need to see this are already voting for Bush. But perhpas the undecideds? No NEW news, but great footage and commentary. The PBS RNC report followed , and it seemed eerily unaware of what had just preceded it (they probably weren’t , in fact, aware of it since Continue Reading
Uhhh….yeah. The whole point of this , Georgie, is that all of this was not neccessary. If you think that appealing to some “fake success” that you have “achieved” as justifying itself and your inept leadership, I guess that’s the way minds convinced of their own invincability work. USATODAY.com – Bush says that with Kerry, Saddam would still be in Continue Reading
Of course, they will say Cheney didn’t mean this. But if he didn’t , he wouldn’t have said it. OF COURSE. The jury will strike that comment and not take it under consideration. Too late, I think.
Tread lightly: Interesting links: September 2004 Archive I think a significant majority of us in the U.S. reject this anything-goes attitude and will therefore reject its practitioner-in-chief. I would hope so, but I wonder how many of these Bush supporters actually believe any of these things we’ve been noticing about Bush’s policies. I know many of my conservative Bush-supporting acquaintances Continue Reading
Someone also named Dale, who blogs at therightchristians.org posted this today: Blogs | The Village Gate I hardly know how to say this. It’s so obvious. If religion has to do with compassion, with salvation in this life, with trying to reduce suffering and warfare, with making at least a minimum effort to offer resistance to the elites of wealth Continue Reading
