1. You beet me to it!

I wish I could watch but I have to leave for work. I'll call my sis so she can fill me in on the details. I have the book and so far it's fascinating.

[pearl]

2. Hey Sis

Will do.

[CatWoman]

3. kick

:kick:

[Kathy in Cambridge]

4. This is great

caller asks if this is a 'pro-Bush or anti-Bush' book. And he says anti-Bush.

[CatWoman]

5. nother

:kick:

[KharmaTrain]

6. Fascinating! BTW...Where's L. Walsh???

Mr. Phillips really ties all the threads together.

He invoked the name of Lawrence Walsh and the findings of Iran Contra...it made me wonder what happened to him and his final findings. Was there a book he's written? Or, if there something on the web that would refresh an aging brain about Iran Contra and BCCI

[blm]

24. BCCI and IranContra were investigated and exposed by John Kerry.

This is why the press tried to declare his candidacy dead for months. BushInc. needed Kerry off the national stage. Especially since the BCCI/Bank of England trial started last month in England and the BCCI/Bank of America trial starts in June.

7. I am just loving this guy

so eloquent -- so open -- so strong in his convictions.

[doc03]

12. Gotta get his book

He blames the media for giving W and poppy a free ride.

[CatWoman]

13. didn't he say he had a website?

did anyone catch the address?

[Lostnote03]

15. AmericanDynasty.Com

........he stated that its a little out of date due to all of the promotional activity now taking up his time.....must be a good thing...lol

[CatWoman]

17. that leads me to a real estate site

I googled, and came up with the correct address: http://www.americandynasty.net/

[Lostnote03]

19. oooppsss....lol

...n/t

[R3dD0g]

8. I kind'a liked Phillips way back when

Even when he was defending Reagan, he didn't resort to the BS of other Reagan defenders, he used real arguments.

[Neecy]

9. He's great

I read his book last week (highly recommend) and he's even better in person. He's really blasting the Bush Crime Family.

[seemslikeadream]

10. Oil Can Administration!!!

:nuke:

[rasputin1952]

11. Absolutely INCREDIBLE...

Philips is dismantling the entire bush dynasty!

He is being earnest in his condemnation of the bush family, and is basing it ALL on documented evidence! One of the last callers brought up 'dragging the bush family through the muck and mire...who are you going to vote for'?

Phillips said he might not vote for ANY candidate, but regardless, he can not see himself voting for bush, he said the primary reason he wouldn't vote for bush, "let me make this straight, it is INCOMPETENCE. After all, how can you send thousands into a shooting gallery, and NOT be incompetent!

This is GREAT! :bounce:

14. "Whewwwww"

..........this man was fascinating!!!........if any REP/DEM fencesitters were watching this interview, they have just been kicked from their juxtaposition.......the reference to the Union Banking (P.Bush)was enlightning to me however he did qualify his position by stating that all the records are gone and an inquiry has never really occured.....he basically stated that P.Bush had approached the Govt and imformed them of 3 million dollars sitting in his bank and that the Govt was aware of the nature of its existence......he certainly did not exonerate P.Bush however......Bush is Not a Traitor...He is Incompetent.....LMAOOOOOOOOOOOO

20. Here are a few choice details

Phillips was devastating to the bush dynasty ... here are just a few specifics ...

1. the "October surprise" .. Phillips talked about how Silberman (bush's appointee to head the Iraq
2. he talked extensively about the bush family ties to the bin Ladens

3. he talked about the misadventures of the Carlyle group and Arbusto ...

4. he talked about Walsh almost filing a complaint against Silberman during the Iran contra hearings ...

5. he talked about Bush I giving weapons to Saddam even after the Iran - Iraq war ended ...

6. he talked about Bush I giving the nod to Saddam to go into Kuwait to take over some oil fields near the border ... he said that Kuwait was essentially stealing Iraqi oil by drilling underground into Iraqi oil supplies ... Saddam went further than was anticipated but still had received a "non-rebuke" from Bush I before the invasion ...

21. I admire Kevin Phillips

He has journalistic integrity and sticks to documented evidence.

His performance on CSPAN this am was devastating to Bush and his supporters.

[joanski01]

23. Kevin also told us what happened

to Phil Gramm. A caller asked about investigating Enron. He said there was nothing left to investigate. Then he named a company that bought what was left of Enron, Vermille or something like that (my details are sketchy here) and than Phil Gramm runs it, so he said the chances of our finding out anything about Ken Lay, et al are nil.

Anyway, I had been curious about that slug, Phil Gramm, and why he left the Senate. Just good to know that he's still out there cheating people.
