Whew, I'm glad you guys are keeping the faith and fighting the fight until I can get back in power. I promise you that if you will elect a Democrat and if that person will make me AG again, I will clean house.
Religion: I will send in my troops and destroy churches one at a time until we get this plague eradicated. I will not leave men, women or children. I will burn them in the building and have my troops stomp the ashes flat. No more hymns, Christmas, Easter, Bibles, charity or smiles. All other tyrants have failed to destroy God's word, but I will--or die trying. We will work with the UN to develope a world religion; worship our idol or die publicly.
Employment: Every able bodied citizen will report to the center of their town for work each day. Meals will be served there as well. We will flatten all single-family dwellings (except for party leaders) and move everyone into project housing. No more private property, everything is property of the state.
No more Republican-won elections: No more elections, except within the top ranks of the party.
Sex: No one may choose their mate or their sexual deviance. You will be issued a partner and a preference by the state, taking care to promote as much diversity as possible. In order to encourage sexual experimentation, there will be a nightly broadcast from the Clinton estate.
Youth: All children will be taken from the hospital to regional child-rearing centers. Parents will receive a visit from their children once a year.
The Republicans want to take away your rights, such as the right to kill your baby whenever and for whatsoever reason you wish. They want you to work or risk being poor. We will just make everyone equally poor and reward laziness. Vote Democrat and give me a chance to help you realize these dreams

All the "Bashing" going on about President Bush and Clinton is sort of uncalled for. They are merely puppets!
I mean God bless us that we live in America and have the rights to bash and post such things. Just twenty years ago this would have been unheard of! Let's not forget to thank our very own U.S. Government for bringing us the World Wide Web, even tho the information highway could eventually be the down fall of the very government that gave it to us.
If you want to "BASH" a group of the government and it would probably be well deserved if you did, would be your Congress! They are the real culprits when it comes to stealing your Freedom and Rights!
During the Clinton era you had a Republican run Congress. Yes the very Republican Congress that made up the "budgets" that we're living through today. These are the very same guys that voted and passed those stupid gun ban laws. Sure Clinton could have vetoed the gun ban, but someone much higher up then Clinton or the Republican controlled Congress wanted it passed. No it wasn't God! I'm not sure who it was, maybe.... the United Nations? The U.N. has a big beef with Americans owning guns, if you think I'm lying go to their web site and they flat out tell you that Americans aren't fit to have guns.
Now you have Bush in office. Once again the Congress is controlled by the Republicans. The same Republican Congress that signed away our freedom and rights in the "Patriot Act." Now the Republican controlled Congress is about to make a decision soon on a ban on torture. Now if they do ban torture, President Bush has already said he would "veto" it! That might be a good time to bash Bush, if you disagree with his decision. I'm sure all of you Christians will/should be.
As I've said before and I'll say it again, I really don't have too much respect for the last 5-6 Presidents. That's just my opnion. If I post a dislike for a certain President, it's because 95% of the time it will be for the mere fact that they stole some of America's Rights, Freedoms or lives during their administration.
Don't get me wrong, I still think we have one of the greatest governments in the world. But I think in the last 50 years it's been going to hell in a hand basket so to speak. I just think it's time we did a "tune up" and get it running the way it should be and give it back to who it belongs, We the People!

DEAR MR. PRESIDENT, You want your approval ratings to go up? 1. Stop talking. you suck at it. Have somebody with a gift of gab to talk for you. 2. Lower the price on gas your not fooling anyone. We all know about your stock holdings. 3.Give our troops more armor. not all of us are mad just because they are over there. We are mad because they are getting killed while providing security. I believe you could make them safer. We have seen the troops reports on lack of equipment over there. 4.Have Ms. Rice smile more often. The bitch looks like she is constipated. that's not the face we want in front of the rest of the world representing us. 5.Stop making the rest of the world hate us. You act like we are gonna do it with or without them. That stand angers people and puts them against us. Instead persuade them using a diplomatic approach and their peers. 6.Step down and call it a day. Your about to fuck up our whole economy.

You supported bush, but in time, you will come to realize how he targeted you for deception.
You were specially picked because of the attributes you possess: fear, ignorance, arrogance, belligerence, bigotry, and low self-esteem. Bush's political strategists calculated that the people most easily misled and controlled are the ones who fit your profile, so they crafted their propaganda just for you.
He got your support by making you feel better about your personal flaws. He told you to wave the flag because your bigotry is nothing be ashamed of, and to thump the bible because your ignorance is a virtue. You should cherish your hatefulness and small-mindedness as they are family values. You are not society's rejects, but rather, you are higher on the ladder than certain other people. Right-wing radio points them out so that you know who to hate to feel better about yourself.
He feeds you crap about "imminent threat", "patriotism", "spreading freedom", and "flowers and candy". He's only tossing you a bone because he knows he's going to be asking you for a hefty sacrifice soon. He repeats meaningless, mind-numbing platitudes like "Freedom is not free!" and "We're fighting them there so we don't have to fight them here!" You fell for it.
By now, it should be apparent that the invasion of Iraq was a shameless oil grab. We're there because the rich, powerful, and greedy of this country, people who you have nothing to do with, want to control that part of the world's oil resources for decades to come, and they're using your tax dollars and your children's blood to do it. Over a hundred thousand people, American and Iraqi, are dead because of it, and the depleted uranium left behind will ensure that tens of thousands more die afterwards. You call that liberation? Not even that many people died when Saddam Hussein tried to grab Kuwait's oil fields years ago.
Yes, you are a special people, cons. You do not possess patriotism, a love of America, or any of those high-minded ideals as you would like to believe. You possess the qualities that allowed bush to hijack your free will to do his bidding. You were used, and he did it by playing to the personal shortcomings that most people try to hide. Like Samuel L. Jackson's character at the end of the movie Unbreakable, you become aware, only after the fact, of the disgraceful role that you were destined to play. You will come to realize that you are history's bad guy. Like the McCarthyites or the brown shirts, you will serve both as a symbol of shame and a warning to future generations. You truly are a special people.

Bush Job Approval at 38%
After edging above 40%, it fades again
December 13, 2005 - President Bush’s job approval rating languishes under 40%, despite an upturn in the economy and a public relations onslaught defending the role of the U.S. military in rebuilding Iraq, a new telephone poll by Zogby International shows.
Just 38% of Americans said they approve of the job the President is doing, down from 41% in a national Zogby America survey conducted last month.
The survey showed Mr. Bush is most popular in the western United States, where 46% approve of the job he is doing, and the South, where 44% approve. Just 28% in the East and 37% in the Midwest and Great Lakes states give him good marks.
People were less critical of the President personally. Asked whether they had a favorable overall impression of Mr. Bush, 49% agreed, including 58% of westerners and 56% of southerners.
Mr. Bush won re-election last year with solid support among those who live in “red” states, but 55% who live there now said he was doing only a fair or poor job. Just 31% of those living in a politically “blue” state approved of his performance in this latest survey.
Mr. Bush still has problems with much of his political base. While 85% who consider themselves “very conservative” say he is doing a good job, just 73% of “conservatives” gave him good marks – this as he has taken recent steps to burnish his conservative credentials. While he won re-election last year with the support of 91% of Republicans, just 77% of GOPers now approve of his performance. Just 11% of Democrats approve, and only one in four independents (24%) approve.
He carries a 42% approval rating among married respondents, and among Catholics – another key demographic group supporting Mr. Bush last year – just 34% now approve of his leadership. Among the investor class, 43% give him a positive job rating.
“Perhaps most ominous for the President is that only 52% of self-described born-again Protestants give him a positive job performance rating,” said John Zogby, President and CEO of Zogby International. “Despite his aggressive campaign on the war in Iraq, the President is still a victim of events on the ground there. If the election in Iraq goes smoothly and stability looks to be possible, then the President’s support among his base may increase. But improvements in events on the ground is a big “if,” and to date, his efforts are falling short.”
As Iraq prepares for its election this week to fill a national legislative body, 38% of those Americans with a family member in the military approve of the President’s leadership. Among veterans, 38% approve of his work.
The survey showed men and women agree about his job performance, as 39% of each demographic approve of his work. Among those who said they own a gun, 49% approved of his work, while just 29% of those who do not own firearms agreed.
The new job approval rating came as part of a national year-end poll conducted by Zogby International from its headquarters here. The poll, a comprehensive survey examining national opinion as the nation closes the books on 2005 and looks forward to 2006 and critical mid-term Congressional elections, included questions about war, political scandal, the economy, race, and the optimism of the American people. Mr. Zogby will release detailed results tomorrow in Washington.

12-13-05-Diebold, Inc. CEO Walden O'Dell has resigned due to what company officials describe in a press release as "personal reasons". O'Dell has been replaced by the company's president and chief operating officer, Thomas Swidarski.
O'Dell was the head of the Bush for President group in Ohio and he guaranteed Bush a win in Ohio in a speech and in memos.
This is the same Diebold that makes Electronic Voting Machines that are now banned from use in California and California and Maryland have filed suit against the company.
Just another piece of the Bush Culture of Corruption:
And now we find out from Ohio that:
Securities Fraud Class Action suit has been filed against Diebold, Inc. (stock symbol: DBD) naming eight top executive officers in the company as co-defendants. The suit has been filed by plaintiff Janice Konkol, alleging securities fraud against the North Canton, Ohio-based manufacturer of Voting Systems and ATM machines on behalf of investors who owned shares of Diebold stock and lost money due to an alleged fraudulent scheme by the company and its executives to deceive shareholders during the "class period" of October 22, 2003 through September 21, 2005.
The suit was filed today in U.S. Federal District Court in Ohio and alleges the company "artificially inflated" stock prices through misleading public information designed to conceal the true nature of Diebold's financial and legal situation. The defendants are also alleged to have attempted to disguise well-known and ongoing problems with Diebold's Voting Machine equipment and software. Additionally, the suit alleges insider trading by defendants resulting in proceeds of $2.7 million. Remedies are sought under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934.
The suit, filed by the law firm SCOTT+SCOTT on behalf of Konkol and the plaintiff class, names former Diebold CEO and Chairman, Walden O'Dell as a co-defendant along with seven other current and former officers of the once-venerable company. (Thank you Bradblog.com for following the Ohio court filings)

(Thank you Bradblog.com for following the Ohio court filings) Odd facts held together by distrustful inuendos. You people act like corruption started with George Bush. I won't list the corruptions and scandals of Clinton; I have neither the time nor do I think you would care. Here's one small item from the Clinton administration. A guy liked to send his opinions to the editors of newspapers here in Louisiana. He was a conservative who disagreed with the Democrats and the Godless barbarian gun-grabbers of Congress. He was just one man who liked to put his opinions in word and share them as part of his Constitutional right. The guy's house was broken into--in broad daylight. The guns were laid on the bed 12" apart. The computer was turned on and open to a page that would lead one to assume that info had been copied. The floppy disks were scattered about. The police took a very casual view of this incident and did nothing to help. Friends of the guy started receiving the same treatment. He kept writing. One night, a helicopter hovered just feet over the top of his house for a full minute, right at midnight. This woke his family and his neighbors, who wanted to know why a helicopter would do such a thing. A call to the local airport the next day proved that the helicopter was seen by them as well, but would not identify itself. One or two strangers came into the man's life. They were very complimentary and very odd. They seemed to want to be trusted with all sorts of details, yet they seemed to have no details of their own to share. The guy owned nothing illegal and never advocated breaking the law or building a bomb; the strangers just seemed to fade away. One of the man's friends had connections in a local law enforcement office. The LEO saw, but was not given the chance to copy a list of the man's friends, with odd facts about their habits and abilities. One friend (let's call him "Tim") was on the list as an excellent long-range shot with a rifle. I already knew Tim was a better shot than I was; no need to rub it in. By now you have probably figured out that I am the guy who wrote the letters. I respect your right to an opinion, I hope you respect my right to disagree with you. I write you the TRUTH I have experienced, and I have had absolutely no such trouble since the voters gave the "heave-ho" to Bubba's gang. Could Bush do the same things, but to different groups? After reading some of the lunacy on this blog, I'm tempted to say "it serves them right." But I don't do that. I'll just tell you the truth as I see it and hope to show that there is more than one side to our troubles. No, the problems didn't start with Herr Klinton, but I got a personal dose of his bitter medicine. What has Bush done to you?

Introduction to GOP Fiscal Policy To spend $300,000,000,000 of US taxpayer money to pay for roads, hospitals, schools, health care, utilities and security in IRAQ is "sound economic policy"
To do the same for the children of America is "socialism".

Oh yeah I forgot 9/11, botched war in Iraq, record deficits, bigger government, decrease in civil liberties, massive job loss, bleeding borders, and oh yeah Osama Bin Laden is still free. Americans are spending ten's Billions of dollars on the search of this one man. Needle in a hay stack, waste of money!

Uphold and Obey the Law: This is what Bush is expected to do.
This is what American citizens are expected to do.
If Bush won't abide by the law because it is "inconvenient", the American people need to get rid of him for failure to abide by the rule of law.
It is way past time to impeach this incompetent criminal and to flush his bootlicking enablers out of government.

We have continually ignored our free trade partners. We continue to allow them to sell things here but they refuse the same.
We continue to sell out to big business (energy bill, prescription drug bill, open borders, less environmental concerns)
This president talks about how well the education system is in this country, while we continue to close schools here and open them in Iraq.
Bush has continued to cut funding for education programs and college student loans.
