are my eyes playin tricks on me? aaron brown just showed a clip of bush at the U.N. and he was the only one standing at a table of at least a dozen dignitaries, doing a toast. and boy was it awkward. it was almost as if he was asking 'where's MY seat'.

really. will have to follow up on this.

ya know what with all thise 'he voted to go IN' shit, then in the same breath bring up vietnam, i'm wondering... would bush have gone into vietnam at the timne?

new anti-kerry ad, repeating the same lies that some other 'voterfund' shit were spewing, only this time they're targeting 18 year olds. in fact, it's almost childish, like their target is 13 year olds, who i guess will influence the family. who knows what the rationale is behind these reich-wing conmen. but kerry needs to target that same group in the same way, only show that he's the honest one.

how can the polls say that America needs to change, and yet show their support for someone who boasts of 'staying the course' without appearing flawed?

so sludgedrudge is reporting that they're demanding sheiffer to be replaced at the debates.

i say only if jon stewart gets to replace him.

has anybody ever bothered to ask: what has george w bush sacrificed for this country?

why?

i bet i can tell you the answer.

looks like CBS is going to admit to being duped. the memos were a setup, directed to ms. mapes, who broke the abu ghraib story. see any connection for revenge here?

if kerry would to succeed to defining bush as a destroyer, while he is the builder, that would go a long long way at reversing 'the trend' we're seeing in the polls.

moved from krak to blogspot. so what the ad is there. its a useful bar. i shuld put a counter on this thing.

edwards needs to come out with some .. a lot more... face time. make some news buddy.

too bad cnn won't do a poll with the following question posed:

do you think that had mccain gotten the republican nod in 2000, and ended up in the whitehouse, would we see the divide we see in America today?

having just seen the man in cheney's event practically get muffled and tackled by some old whitehair guy with glasses, reminded me of that brute behavior in florida. more and more republicans are getting aggressive, forceful, and in-your-face physically when the only reason for it would be supporting another candidate for president.

this is what outrages me. to no end. politics is all talk. but when it gets physical, then we have a serious problem.

fuckn net is abyssmal and slow tonite.

bush is like a driver, who drives straight into a wall. what makes him special in the eyes of his followers is that he didn't even blink.

killian-gate on cbs is getting hotter than a snitchbitch's mouth full of crackcloud.

from truthisfreedom on DU (no link because it's a php scripted board):

Mrs. Knox's very credible position that the documents are fake, but he can't use her opinion without also making her credible for her observations and memories of bush's refusing a direct order.

but, if he attacks her as an old, unreliable witness who doesn't remember, then he's suggesting that she's not correct or reliable about the memos being recreations!

this was a brilliant and strategic manoever on the part of CBS. they aren't scared... instead, they have allowed rove and the bushies to paint themselves into a new corner!



brilliant!

so the people are ready for no more excuses, and no more promises?

fuckn eh. i still have to clean up the html tho, because for some reason, i have to put the frame="something" in there. fuckn domain forwarding shit.

first pic using that 'hello'

bloggerbot. yeah. about friggin time.

the incident in baghdad yesterday, er rather incidentS, made clear of one thing. when iraqis get killed, how many times are there witnesses disputing the account given by American dittoheads?

sooo, if the witnesses were just makin up these statements, wouldn't they have done it EACH AND EVERY other time?

listening to 70's music on cable. oh the memories. one of these days, boy. i'll tell a story that'll make the hair of its readers stand on end.

before they cum. :)

looks like george gave osama everything he wanted:

1)split up the Western alliances

2)turned Western "Democratic governments" against the popular will of the majority of their citizens

3)provoked the US into spending obscene amounts of money on armaments, neglecting social programs for the citizens. (This is what killed the Soviet Union

4) Inspired enough reactionary paranoia to allow the fascist elements to begin deconstructing the Constitution.

5) United the World against the US.

i need a list of adjectives that the right-wing use in how they describe their king.

resolute, decisive, steadfast
i know there are more and will add them as i bring them to mind.

more: clarity of vision and purpose


more: moral rectitude

the truth is not partisan politics.

it's a matter of trust. let me demonstrate.

bush is in a hall speaking to a bunch of his sympathizers. he tells the crowd that the sky is yellow. they believe him, without going outside to look, even though he was told that's not true. he maintains that it is. then, everybody comes outside and sees that the sky is not yellow. but bush still maintains that he said what he said because of good intelligence. that he KNEW for sure, there was NO DOUBT that his information was correct. even when he was told he was wrong before the crowd went outside, he chose to believe what he wanted to believe and hence tried like hell to make us all believe it.

would the crowd trust this guy again? when is a lie a lie?

i think i figured out how they keep the 'inflation' rate down, and the spending numbers up. it's because of supply and demand or any of that gobbledygook, but rather people are spending about the same, but for less, so they have to buy more often. groceries comes to mind.

ya know what the high bush numbers tell me?

thast there's a whole lotta people that are easily frightened.

the choice is rather simple: who is profitting more from terror? i doubt john kerry's name would even be mentioned. his opponent however, had made billions for his buddies. i didn't think we elected presidents so that they can enrich themselves.

this must be what trickle down economics is all about. they think that if the owners save money, that the money saved will be pumped back into the business creating more for all.

nice theory. only, it's not reality. considering the average CEO pay raise this year alone was over 50%, many in the 70's... and with the common worker pay raise about 2.5%, one can not with a straight face say that the more a company profits, the more the company will distribute back into the business.

sure, there are companies that are doing this... of course. but there are many, MANY more that aren't. considering outsourcing. qwest outsources their services, eliminates say 1000 jobs. the profits saved by that is instead being dumped into more luxuriious accommodations for the elite. how else would you explain why businesses are nabbin up humvee's instead of ford rangers? they get more of a write off on the humvee. so what happens to that write off? it goes into the pocket of the CEO. or it's spent on new offices for them. if it was going back into the business, say like with new equipment, safer conditions, or even raises (god forbid), businesses would be doing so much better than they are.

like the union guy said tonite: how can you expect a worker to lose his job to india, and go work at mcdonalds or wal-mart, and pay for that caddy? this will bite the greedy echelon on the butt if they don't change course.

now that the bushies have admitted to making mistakes about iraq, especially in the aftermath, but who knows, maybe they thought saddam was going to fight harder too. there were reports out that had the two coming to some kinda agreement, but i don't know. however, given the history of what we've laid witness to already, i wouldn't put it past these sick bastards. look at how they're handling osama. nobody's heard from him for months, probably as long as iraq has been happening. which makes you wonder. the paks are to hand him up in october. everybody's layin odds on what day. i say the 18th. why? i have NO idea. it's close enough to the election so that the lapdog obedient presscorp won't get bored with their excitement. isn't it strange how osama will win george the election.

but still, why is nobody looking at WHY they thought the iraqis would be throwing flowers instead of bullets. whatever gave them this impression must have made a BIG impression since they obviously ignored the right advice about needing more troops. i'm sure that had we done 3 things differently in iraq, things wouldn't be this bad, if bad at all.

1. make sure the soldiers are trained in how arabs live. this would alleviate the occupation conundrum.

2. make sure the money FOR IRAQIS that has been requested, and received, from congress GETS SPENT on things FOR IRAQIS. and while we're at it, EMPLOY IRAQIS to do it.

3. get rid of the neocon men behind the curtain.

come to think of it, arnold schwartzenegger's screaming of how 'girley-men' economics is ruining us all, is kinda strange coming from someone who played a pregnant mom.

how can anybody claim that we are now safer than we were before 9/11? are they completely out of their collective minds? the fact that we're more aware of terrorists who are more determined now than ever to strike us again shouldn't be an excuse for george to claim that he's making us safer.

because of him, is why the terrorists want to hurt us. that was true before 9/11, and that's true today. i'm not saying that we get rid of george that we will be immune to a terrorist attack... but our chances sure dive in a heartbeat.

why? because we'll have the real international cooperation that we need to defeat terrorism. and actually, staying true to my rule that terrorism isn't something you can bomb to win, you have to use education to win. and to use education, requires intelligent people doing intelligent things. and we all know intelligence and the bushies are about as foreign to each other as martians are to humans.

one of george's promises in 2000 was to cut taxes.
then cheney uses 9/11 as an excuse to cut taxes (to revive the economy that was "already sliding but fell off the cliff"), wouldn't it make perfect logic to assume that 9/11 isn't the tragedy for bush as he would have America believe? where is his sacrifice?

the problem isn't what george did after 9/11, it's what he DIDN'T do before 9/11. would America have the same adoration for this guy if they knew he expected 9/11 to happen and didn't do what he should have done?

how can America accept that bush is this fighter he projects himself to be, when he holds a history of being a coward? because the media helps to project this image, that's why. there's no other sane reason to support the complete success the ultimate CONjob.

well, the speech was just that. all talk, and no walk. kerry has taken the gloves off, i think. i hope.

God, I hope.

lipstick on a pig folks.

when will people start interrupting this "created a million new jobs" line the bushististas shove down everybody's throat? i mean, c'mon. a million new jobs at wal-mart & burger king maybe. that STILL leaves 1.5 million lost overall.... and those that have been lost were much higher paying. a double whammy if you will.

which is better? being honest about being immoral, or being dishonest about being moral?

today's story in the des moines register about some vet speaking out against kerry... makes you wonder just what his motive really was.

not knowing the right thing to do is acting dumb.
ignoring the right thing to do is acting stupid.

can you believe the GALL rove has in coming out with this new ad campaign about kerry raising taxes, questioning what he says and what he does. i mean, really. one thing you can always count on from that baldprick: whatever he accuses kerry of, is something his own man is guilty of and needs to divert the attention away. the old adage that if you make the accusations first, regardless of their basis in fact, or whether you yourself are guilty of the very same charges, you've scored the first round.

it's no secret: rove's plan is to run kerry's money out. well, moveon had better step up to the plate and start bitchslapping the liars. God, if there was anything that pissed me off more than anything, it would be being lied to.

what's really sad is that there are people out there that'll swallow it like water. don't you find it simply amazing that given the adoration of almost deity proportions george commands of his sympathizers - forget the fact that such adoration should be worthy of in the first place, that he's not ahead in more than one poll? if he was so great, why is he not winning? he's losing and he's resorting to nixon's book of dirty tricks. that's what scumbags do. they only fight fair when they're winning.

i can just hear the rest of the world now: "America, if you can't see that you're being conned AGAIN, then you deserve what you get."

saw on bushwatch today (i admit i have been lax in reading his daily newsletter and only God knows why), but he has a grouping called SWIFT BOATS, SWIFT LIES, that really sums it all up.

it's really sad that when the truth becomes lies, and you have to fight the truth to kill the lies, America loses part of her heart & soul.

re: the switfyvets .... the problem isn't the ads, it's the truth in those ads, or the lack thereof.

but no, republicons must create enemies to justify being an enemy. they couldn't win their battle in bringing down the 527s, so they made the 527s ugly and distasteful by introducing the crackwhore swiftyvets. this is how they work. they can't have their way, so they attack & destroy it for the rest of us.

"i may be conservative, but that doesn't mean you have to be."

the bushite evangelicals. that's what all the anti-bush sentiment is really about. it's not about HIM, as much as WHO and WHAT he is. but those like rush limpbaugh and annthrax coulter will make it personal, that way they have an enemy, to justify being an enemy.

the next time some pukehead gives you some shit about your 'librul' attitudes, just remember, he wants you to be his enemy, so he can act out. the best way to deal with bullies, is to smile back as if they're making a complete ass out of themselves.

we need a change in America
a change in our Attitudes
by a change in the Administration

only then, will there be hope for us all.

modo is on real time with bill maher.. god i luv the premium channels. anyway, she's so very unpretentious. but she makes a very interesting point: KERRY NEEDS TO TAKE CONTROL.

the reagans, on showtime... i can now see why the r'pukes were so afraid of showing it on primetime cbs.

the po' paranoid sissies.

there's clearly a differentiation between the old school guard in the senate, and the new whippersnapper-egomaniacal freshman who are getting a stronger direction from those on the wrong side.

well, i got a flyer on the door yesterday, and it was from mediacom, my cable provider. advertising some new deals. well, i jus had to call and find out what they were doin on the dish buy-back thing. and in the process got hoodwinkd into ordering the #2 package. he came today, and now i finished watching my first movie. the italian job. and it was wonderful. i had to sign a contract for a year tho. so i gotta keep it. which is fine. got 12 ppv tickets. so that's kinda nice. anyway. havent been keepin up much on the politics of things. needed a serious break.
