where to start...? how about dear leader...

the litany of bad news is so extensive, i am having trouble figuring out where to start... for the moment, let's just stick with dear leader...

President Bush told tens of thousands of cheering Georgians packed into the city's Freedom Square on Tuesday that the United States would stand with Georgia, a former Soviet republic, as it built its YOUNG democracy, and then pointedly he warned President Vladimir V. Putin of Russia that the sovereignty of Georgia "must be respected by all nations."

how about sticking your neo-con, spread-democracy- throughout-the-world crap where the sun don't shine, get your ass back here and start looking at the havoc you're wreaking with this OLD democracy...?

Minority Leader Harry M. Reid (D-Nev.) . . . has said the right to filibuster must remain intact and President Bush must withdraw three of his most contentious appellate court nominees.

ya think bush'll do it...? ya think pigs fly...? for this guy, it's strictly his way or the highway... sure, we talk a lot about the horror and lasting consequences of frist exercising the nuclear option but we mustn't forget that the boy emperor nominated those right-wing nutcases in the first (AND SECOND!) place...

The Senate gave final passage yesterday to an $82 billion emergency war-spending bill, sending President Bush a measure that will push the cost of the Iraq invasion well past $200 billion. [...] [T]he Pentagon has now been allocated about $100 billion for war costs, 45 percent more than last year. That total is nearly 30 percent of the $350 billion deficit the federal government is projected to run this year.

and there's no end in sight... and if this isn't enough to inspire cold chills, the article headline uses the plural... "Congress Approves $82 Billion for WAR(S)..." meanwhile, as the money flows to iraq and dubya is wowing 'em in tblisi...

The Bush administration denies that Medicaid is being cut, arguing that its rate of growth is being slowed. Health and Human Services Secretary Michael Leavitt said specific proposals to curb spending were designed to curtail abusive and wasteful practices that have increased the federal match paid to state governments. "This is not a discussion about cutting. Anybody who would suggest that we are cutting would not be reflecting the real dollar reality," Mr. Leavitt said.

bushco will SAY anything, LIE, DENY, do anything and everything it takes to accomplish their agenda which is nothing than wiping out all social programs and privatizing all government functions...

Critics argue that society's weakest will be most at risk. [...] In going after Medicaid, political analysts said Republican congressional leaders picked a program whose low-income beneficiaries were relatively less politically active. "The poor and the disadvantaged do not vote," said Rogan Kersh, a political science professor at Syracuse University who follows health-care issues.

sometimes, keeping up with the escalating nightmare of the bush administration is almost more than the psyche can tolerate... the walls are definitely closing in...
