Did * Just Have A "Read My Lips Moment"?
In a short press conference with Vlad Putin - * said no to a tax raise to pay for Katrina damage and the rebuilding of NO. Did he just have a "Read My Lips No New Taxes" Moment. Is history going to repeat itself?

3. We are going down folks - don't get there before I do. This country
is plummeting into a hell that isn't necessary. We are targeted for doom.

5. It can't repeat itself...
Bush I's idiot remark relegated him to single-term status. Unfortunately, Bush II just needs to ride out the next couple of years, then dump all this on somebody else.

9. I am using any and all national prayer days to pray for impeachment
I hope God(s) will make an exception and listen to the pleas of this atheist.

;)

10. Heh. Yeah, and fittingly, it would take an act of God...
for him to get impeached.

11. That's a great idea
think I'll do that too. But don't forget Cheney and the rest of those bastards. Bush is just the front man.

7. What is glaringly missing
from all of **'s plans for rebuilding the Gulf region (both our Gulf and the one in the middle east) is where is all this money supposed to come from? I have visions of Karl or somebody in the White House basement cranking out dollars on a printing press. Lessons some of us learned from our parents when we were very young -- "MONEY DOESN'T GROW ON TREES." I think George Sr. and Bar forgot to teach Georgie that one.

16. Printing Lots of Dollars
is EXACTLY what they are doing. They are getting the authorization by borrowing against the credit cards they took out in our childrens' and grandchildrens' names. Too bad the shit won't hit the fan until W is out of D.C.

12. "Sink government in the bathtub really quick because it looks like
Rove's thirty year plan of dominance is over".

Everything will just be speeded up. They know they only have till 2006.

17. Please. Diebold is a herring. Meant to keep you & I at each other's
throat.

Many forms of voter suppression have been documented by first person witnesses & TV coverage (2000 election). School is still out on Diebold.

We have to show up at election time en mass - with a 95% turnout of Dems instead of a 60% turnout - and then we will prevail.

Don't teach apathy. Diebold is just a tool to divide us. Exit polls easily toyed with and evidence of this over the years (before diebold) and in districts with no machines.

Relax. You don't know what you have not witnessed.

Voter transparency for all! Voter transparency laws to cover all bases & possibilities of nefarious suppression.

Voter transparency now!
