  • We’ve seen enough to impeach Bush
    21 June 2005 par (Open-Publishing)
    4 comments

    As I said in this space two weeks ago, if Bill Clinton was impeached for lying about having sex with an intern, then George Bush needs to be impeached for the deliberate lies he and his cabal told to start a war that has now taken the lives of more than 1,700 young American men and women and countless Iraqi citizens, plus threatens to bankrupt the country.
    One of our "Sound Off" callers insisted last week that only "Bush haters" would say such things.
    Another took to task the Wisconsin (…)

    by John Hanchette Olean, NY - Even casual readers of newspapers and watchers of TV know the nation’s health care system, if you can call it that, is broken. Americans who get sick know they’ll pay plenty for it, even if they’re lucky enough to have insurance.
    Yet, while President George W. Bush and his sycophants dither about trying to "reform" a Social Security system that isn’t half as dilapidated as health care into a windfall gift for Wall Street fat cats, the numbers predict a (…)

    GM’s Health-Care Shakedown Shows Systemic Flaws In Bush’s America Bill Gallagher June 21, 2005 Detroit - General Motors and the United Autoworkers are on a collision course over health-care costs and the issue underscores the refusal of George W. Bush and the Republicans in Congress to do anything to fundamentally change our failed system. It also shows how gutless GM executives and the other suits in corporate America are in refusing even to discuss the issue in real terms. What’s good (…)

  • The Downing Street Memo: Primary source or 2nd hand info
    20 June 2005 par (Open-Publishing)

    The Memo raises the question: Did the President, the Vice President and other high level officials deliberately fabricate intelligence to convince a gullible public to accept war? These are high crimes and misdemeanors, impeachable offenses to say the least. And with the carnage in Iraq, they could all go to trial for war crimes. Is it any wonder that Bush and Co are running away from the questions?
    Mr. Bush has refused to respond to the allegations, sending his PR man Scottie McClellan (…)

  • Scott McClellan vs. Terry Moran: Is the insurgency in Iraq in its last throes?
    20 June 2005 par (Open-Publishing)

    Q Scott, is the insurgency in Iraq in its last throes?
    MR. McCLELLAN: Terry, you have a desperate group of terrorists in Iraq that are doing everything they can to try to derail the transition to democracy. The Iraqi people have made it clear that they want a free and democratic and peaceful future.
    And that’s why we’re doing everything we can, along with other countries, to support the Iraqi people as they move forward. The fact that they are making great progress on the political front (…)

    By Peter Fredson
    Every morning I turn on TV to see what is happening in the world. I keep doing this despite the fact that I rarely learn what is really happening. Let me explain.
    At the beginning of the “news hour” there are 5 to 7 advertisements for toilet deodorants, toothpaste, soft-drinks, suppositories, male enhancement pills, cars new and used, and self-promotional ads for the news services. Then the “anchors” come on, exchange pleasantries, mention the latest movie or (…)

    CONDI RICE SATIRE?
    By Peter Fredson
    June 20, 2005
    Today I saw a news item about Condoleezza Rice that had me wondering about her sincerity.
    Here are some quotes direct from the great George Bush sycophant:
    "We are all concerned for the future of Egypt’s reforms when peaceful supporters of democracy — men and women — are not free from violence. The day must come when the rule of law replaces emergency decrees, and when the independent judiciary replaces arbitrary justice," (…)

    by Bob Nichols Project Censored Award Winner (Oklahoma, Red State, Dumbfuckistan) June 19, 2005 - The sophisticated urban assault newspaper, the conservative New York Times did their dead level best to spin a silk purse out of a bloody pig’s ear today with the latest poll showing that 2/3 of Americans disapprove of President Bush. The giant corporate flagship newspaper also did much hard work to save a real suck-ass Congress while 75% of real Americans hate Congress, more or less, with (…)
