Does anyone remember George Bush saying “stay the course”?  I swear I remember something like that…

Here is a video montage of our President telling an outright lie to the American people.  This fuckin guy in unbelievable.  “I was never stay the course“.  No, of course you weren’t.  You just said it a million times and had every other Republican ass basket repeating the phrase for the last 3 years.  This is an attempt to revise history and is probably one of the most obvious attempts to do so.  These people are crooks, liars, and a scourge on this country’s Democratic values.  WAR IS PEACE FREEDOM IS SLAVERY IGNORANCE IS STRENGTH Are we at war with Eurasia? I forget… Is it time for our Two Minutes Hate? 1984 anyone?

sometimes I wonder who will be there when it ends sometimes I wonder what the point of it all is Sometimes I find that people fail you in life sometimes I find those fleeting moments are strife Sometimes I think can’t I turn it all around sometimes I think could this be where I am found Sometimes I hate for reasons I justify sometimes I hate for I am terrified to die sometimes I cry I need money I need freedom I need a change I need a vacation I need to love my job I need more free time I need to live with passion Because it could all be over in 40 years

There is much more to come on this, but check out Wikipedia’s entry on Habeas Corpus.  The last time it was suspended was during the Civil War.  I am not convinced that it was right to do then, and am certainly not convinced that it is right to do now.  Regardless, on September 29th, 2006 the Senate approved a billthat would suspend Habeas Corpus if you are determined to be ” an unlawful enemy combatant”. Is this some kind of sick fucking joke?  It is entirely possible now that you could say the wrong thing, protest the wrong politician, or post the wrong thing on your blog, and end up being an “enemy combatant”.  This is not America.  This is not Democracy.  This is a Theocratic Police State and I can’t take it any more.   Here is a list of the 12 Democrats that voted in favor of a Police State:Tom Carper (D-DE)  (202)-224-2441 carper.senate.gov/aemail.htm Tim Johnson(D-SD)  (202) 224-5842 johnson.senate.gov/emailform.cfm Mary Landrieu (D-LA)  (202) 224-5824 landrieu.senate.gov/contact/index.cfm Frank Lautenberg (D-NJ)  (202) 224-3224 lautenberg.senate.gov/contact/ Joseph Lieberman (D-CT)  (202) 224-4041 lieberman.senate.gov/contact/index.cfm?regarding=issue Robert Menendez (D-NJ)  (202) 224-4744 menendez.senate.gov/contact/contact.cfm Bill Nelson (D-FL)  (202) 224-5274 billnelson.senate.gov/contact/email.cfm Benjamin Nelson (D-NE)  (202) 224-6551 bennelson.senate.gov/contact/email.cfm Mark Pryor (D-AR)  (202) 224-2353 pryor.senate.gov/contact/ John Rockefeller (D-WV)  (202) 224-6472 rockefeller.senate.gov/services/email.cfm Ken Salazar (D-CO)  (202) 224-5852 salazar.senate.gov/contact/email.cfm Debbie Stabenow (D-MI)  (202) 224-4822 stabenow.senate.gov/email.htm I sent every one of them an E-mail and it would be great if everyone else did as well.  I think it is important that we let these people know that they are the terrorists when they vote for laws that ruin our Democracy.

Ever wanted to buy your very own politician to do your company’s bidding in Washington?  Wal-Mart has contributed 1.25 MILLION to candidates and ballot initiatives year to date. Read this, then burn down your local Wal-Mart (Just Kidding) In 2004 Wal-mart gave 85% of it’s contributions to Republican Candidates; I am sure that is a trend that will not change in ‘06. The more Corporate interests stuff money in the pockets of politicians the more our Representative Democracy is destroyed.  Whether it is the voting machines, the minting of our currency, or the politicians themselves, we cannot let Corporate interests control our policy decisions.  Please check out the trailer for this movie.  It will really make you think.

Dennis Hastert (Republican Speaker of the House) waddled up to the microphone today to denounce the Foley Fiasco as a liberal conspiracy.  Sitting down with drug addled gas bag Rush Limbaugh today, Denny had this to say about his swift action:“We found out about it, asked him to resign. He did resign. He’s gone.” Wait just a second there Mr. Hastert, didn’t you “find out about it” like a fuckin’ year ago?  I always knew that the Republicans would have a hard time giving up the power that they worked so hard to get.  Quite a few dirty tricks went into taking control of all facets of our government.  Minorities had to be ignored, districts had to be re-drawn, money had to be laundered, and quite a few good Americans were swift-boated just so the Republicans could get us by the short hairs.  I always joked that GWB might just go ahead and make himself King of the United States, but I really never imagined that a suspected child predator would be protected by Republican leadership.  The moral of this story is that they will do anything.  They will do anything to stay drunk with power and to impose their faux morals upon the public.  They will cheat, steal, lie, mislead, pander, and terrorize all the way to the White House.  And they have in the past, and they will continue to do so until we get up.  Stand up.  And take the power back.

Ah October, what a wonderful month.  There’s Halloween, picking apples at the orchard, carving your pumpkin, enjoying a nice fall evening, and of course theOctober Surprise!  What could make this October special?  A surprise to really remember…  I have to say, it really hit the spot.  A 52 year old Republican Congressman (Mark Foley) literally trying to have cyber sex with a 16 year old male page.  Here is just a glimpse into the conversation that turned to subjects of masturbation and the size of the 16 year old’s penis: Xxxxxxxxx (8:06:53 PM): not tonight…dont get to excited Maf54 (8:07:12 PM): well your hard Xxxxxxxxx (8:07:45 PM): that is true Maf54 (8:08:03 PM): and a little horny Xxxxxxxxx (8:08:11 PM): and also tru Maf54 (8:08:31 PM): get a ruler and measure it for me Xxxxxxxxx (8:08:38 PM): ive already told you that Maf54 (8:08:47 PM): tell me again Xxxxxxxxx (8:08:49 PM): 7 and 1/2 Maf54 (8:09:04 PM): ummmmmmmmmmmmmmmm Maf54 (8:09:08 PM): beautiful  ———————————————————————— The rest if you can bear it:http://abcnews.go.com/images/WNT/02-02-03b.pdf A beautiful side note to this story is that ex-Rep. Foley was a Co-chair on the House’s “Missing and Exploited Children Caucus”.  Oh, and for the extra cherry on top, this article quoting ex-Rep. Foley’s views on the Clinton/Lewinski debacle:http://www.sptimes.com/Worldandnation/91298/Congress_sees_through.html
