Had Enough Of Marilyn Musgrave? Vote Angie Paccione

Should be seen on all the local tv stations in CO.

Job Opportunities!

Sad! Pathetic! Funny! This is what we, as a nation, have fallen to under the ideology of Bush and his lackeys.

What does this tell you about the great and noble "W" and his crusade to remake the world? From AP via Yahoo:

"The more ominous and determined his words, the more skeptical the American public
appears, polls show, both on the war itself and over whether it is part of the
larger fight against terrorism, as the administration insists."

I have written a new poem:

The enemy of mankind


How does Karpinski sleep at night?
Listening for the soothing sounds of cricket and gentle breeze
But hearing the wet, heavy sounds of leather straps bursting skin
Followed by the rolling, screaming voices

Taguba toils in the day as he does his duty

In the house of man, designed and built by our forefathers-
Bush kneels in supplication to his god
Closing his eyes and ears to all other voices
Listening to the inner voice that no one else can hear

Glittering stars of rank upon crisply lined olive colored uniforms
Festooned with badges and ribbons of expertise, marksmanship and honor
Bureaucrats of the military kind who were given the ultimate choice
Forgetting their allegiance is to no man but to our ideals

In the morning light, Fay shudders at his next assignment: Abu Ghraib

How comfortable can you and I sleep
As Mr. Bush espouses and condones torture to any and all in the world
Who would oppose him and his shadowed masters
While utilizing the snake oiled words of a Goebbels

Far down in the dungeons built shiny and new by Halliburton
Where our good boys and good girls are unleashed on the enemy
With the ageless tools of the trade
Long worn well by the masked inquisitor or grinning sadist
Where there is no day or night
Children become adults without ever knowing the passage of seasons
In a world of 6 feet by 10 feet and a steel commode
Still living but brutalized and remembering their ghosts

Mr. Bush sleeps the sleep of the heavily sedated
His flabby hands encrusted with those rusted barbs and hooks of the inquisitor
His flesh broiled to a germ free redness under the tanning bed set to “high”
As those who he commands toils to extol his sins as virtues

Faraway and long ago
In a shining distance now vastly remote
Only tears remain that can never wash away our failure


This blackness will stain our hearts and anguish our souls
For the disappeared and for those unremembered souls
Locked away in the gulag paradise of Bush’s creation
The world will remember our fall long after our flesh withers away

Sexual predator protected by the leadership of God's Own Party.

Maybe the G.O.P. should now be called God's Own Punishment.

FOX's Sheperd Smith does not toe NeoCon Line???

Whoa! Shep lays into warmonger Kristol. This is like Geraldo telling views that the people in the Superdome should be let free after hurricane Katrina.

HOW TO IMPEACH A PRESIDENT

Great introduction to why it is important to impeach this president.

Say No To Torture!

This is what Republicans condone and stand for. They are no longer Americans.

Americans abide by the Constitution and Bill of Rights.

Americans understand the rule of law.

Americans know that to torture another human being is wrong.

Americans know that those who torture and condone torture are guilty of crimes against humanity.

HOW TO IMPEACH A PRESIDENT

A basic understanding of how George W. Bush has ruined this country's Constitution and Bill of Rights all in the name of fear. Impeachment is almost too good for Mr. Bush and his cohorts.

Say No To Torture!

Every American should tell their elected representatives and local media reporters/editors that torture should never be tolerated by this country. Remember that Americans have nothing to fear in this world. Only Bush and his cabal have their fear of the American legal system because of their crimes against our laws against torture. Justice will be served to those who advocate and use torture in the name of the United States of America.

If one wants to make the analogy to Mr. Bush's "War on Terror" then you could say that anyone who knows about sexual predators preying on underage boys are just as guilty as the predator and should be shown the same punishment.

Mr. Foley's criminal conduct was known for years by the Republican leaders like Boehner, Hastert, and Blunt.

BTW: What is not being asked right now: What did Tom DeLay know?

As many other commentators have mentioned that this is the Waterloo for the Republican Party's claim to "family values" because it is criminal in what the House Republican leadership has done to coverup and condone the criminal conduct of former Rep. Foley.

The other great silence is on the Christian Right. There is no condemnation of the conduct and thinking which excused Mr. Foley for literally years. What is seen has been to condemn society in general as a press release by Focus on the Family's has released:

"Colorado Springs, Colo. -- Focus on the Family Action Senior Vice President of Government and Public Policy Tom Minnery issued the following statement today about the scandal involving ex-Rep. Mark Foley, R-Fla:

"This is not a time to be talking about politics, but about the well-being of those boys who appear to have been victimized by Rep. Foley. If he is indeed guilty of what he is accused of, it is right that he resigned and that authorities are looking into whether criminal charges are warranted."

As Talkingpointsmemo's Election Central's Greg Sargent astutely notes that the statement does not mention the failure of leadership and family values so carefully shouted as having by the Republican Congressional leadership.

What is missing and what needs to taken up by Christians of all denominations is to take to task those politicians who cloak themselves with a "moral veil" but then when it comes to taking to task one of their own political flock is shown to be enablers of that one like Foley.

Parishners of the mega churches and of the right wing Christian leaders like Dobson, Falwell, and others have to be educated on the hard political fact that the Republican leadership is only concerned with power. The Republicans will use any means to have and to hold onto power. This is what makes the parishners and Christian right leaders dupes, lackeys and easy marks for the Republican party.

The Republican powers must be laughing their asses off at the likes of Rev. Rick Scarborough. Who would be dumb enough to support Republican leaders that condones the conduct of a man who preys on minors for years? Who would be blind to the fact that the Republican leaders wants to keep the money that this man has raised even as he wrote laws to make it a federal crime to engage in the very internet behaviour he was engaging in?

This is what Mr. Dumb Ass, who deserves no appellation of "reverend" is doing
to keep this morally corrupt and criminal Republican leadership in power:

"The Rev. Rick Scarborough, a leading evangelical in Texas, has recruited 5,000 "patriot pastors" nationwide to promote an agenda that aligns neatly with Republican platforms. 'We urge them to avoid legal entanglement, but there are times in a pastor's life when he needs to take a biblical stand,' Scarborough said. 'Our higher calling is to Christ.'"

Isn't it about time that you talked to your Christian family members and friends about Foley and how the Republican Party is not about "family values"?
