George W Bush does not care if most people want to end the war.
Edited on Thu Jul-12-07 05:04 AM by liberaldemocrat7
George W Bush said today that as long as he has a veto that can remain sustained by his Republican party, he does not care that most people want to end the war.

That means you can march, rally, call your congressman and it will not make a difference. This war will not end until after Jan 21, 2009.


Many people have sloughed off the notion of pressuring contributors to the Republican party to help end this war in Iraq.

So I say to you again call War contractor and GOP contributor General Electric at 203 373 2211 and ask for the public relations department.

Tell the person that you want the Iraq war to end by Dec 2007. Tell the person that you will no longer buy their products until the GE CEO gets George W Bush to end the war, and then resign with Cheney.

I don't care about the people who don't believe in my action. I believe in the people who will take this action. You have nothing to lose.


Your marches, rallies, calls to congress will do nothing to stop Bush because he said he will not end this war as long as his vetoes will remain sustained by his Republican loyalists.


"The Republican party appears weak and vulnerable at the cash registers of those companies that give them money."


Call General Electric. Start the revolution.

4. Do you have a better plan than mine to end this war before Jan 21, 2009?
Edited on Thu Jul-12-07 05:08 AM by liberaldemocrat7
Do you have a better plan? Tell it to me. Tell me your plan, America. How will you get Bush to end this war in 6 months and then resign with Cheney.

If you have a better plan than mine tell it to me.

6. War makes people rich, except for those who die because of it
Bush and the republicans are all about the rich.

More war = more defense contracts = more money for rich businessmen = more favors for little george.

The price of oil is through the roof and the cash registers just keep ringing for Exxon. Cheney's buddies over at Halliburton are countin' the cash.

This war will not end while the republicans are making money.

8. So what?
I'm telling people to call GE and tell them you're not going to buy GE consumer products until Bush ends the war.

Continue to watch Countdown with Keith Olbermann but don't watch anything else on MSNBC.
