This doesn’t surprise me. Republicans have long been hypocrites when it came to the religious right. Even Ronald Reagan, the darling of the right-wing, ridiculed the Christian conservatives.
But Bush embraced the Bible thumpers with carefully-orchestrated public enthusiasm while he cursed like a sailor and ridiculed them behind closed doors. He called the Constitution a “goddamned piece of paper,” refers to political enemies as “fucking idiots” and lies without remorse to Congress, the American people.
Kuo’s book uncovers another sham by the Bush White House, another callous use of supporters for political gain and another lie from an administration whose record is built on deception.
God’s gonna get ‘em for that.
Be good to have less lies, suffering and death!
That’s the whole problem with being a diplomatic nation, no war!
The Republicans in Congress — and the White House — should be hounded from office for how they have betrayed the military. From Rumsfeld to Cheney to Rice to Bush, we have seen the arrogant abuse of power — to the detriment of the men and women in our armed services. We have seen career military brass hounded out of the service or forced into silence, because they dared to know more than the cardboard cutouts with no combat experience who are running the Bush Administration and Congress.
USA: Maj. General John Batiste’s testimony before Sen. Democratic Policy Committee
I challenge the American people to get informed and speak out. Remember that the Congress represents and works for the people. Congressional oversight committees have been strangely silent for too long, and our elected officials must step up to their responsibilities or be replaced. This is not about partisan politics, but rather what is good for our country. Our November elections are crucial. Every American needs to understand the issues and cast his or her vote. I believe that one needs to vote for the candidate who understands the issues and who has the moral courage to do the harder right rather than the easier wrong. I for one will continue to speak out until there is accountability, until the American people establish momentum, and until our Congressional oversight committees kick into action. Victory in Iraq is fundamental and we cannot move forward until accountability is achieved.
Thank you.
We’ve given you the tools to fight the War On Terror Mr. President but you’re not using them!
Just from the bus, to the coffee shop, to my office this morning, I saw six, count ‘em, sixwedgepadrille -wearing fashion sheeple. One of them even had an honest-to-god flower print on the canvas tops. Lillies, I think.[fn1]
The insanity must stop!
Or not. I mean, if they’re comfortable and cheap, that’s cool. If you don’t mind looking like a reject from the Three’s Company tryouts that is.
You know, I think I’d be OK with these things if they didn’t have that woven mat siding shit.
[fn1] Grumpy word of advice – do not do a Google image search for ‘lilly’ with SafeSearch off from work. Just sayin’.
