"Happy Holidays" to all who voted for Bush. I have a question for you

[mtnsnake]

I'd like to ask any of you lurking bushbots how it feels to have been completely suckered in by a trio of people...Bush, Cheney, & Condi...all of whom don't give a rat's ass about you or anyone else, but conned you into voting for their administration in order for them to maintain their strong personal ties with the oil corporations.

Oh, you say it's not about oil? Well use some common sense for once. Here ya go, I'll make it real easy:

1) Let's see, you've got George Bush coming from a family that made literal BILLIONS from those oil fields, black gold, Texas Tea. Enough said.

2) You've got Cheney and his Halliburton connections. You know...that company he's tied up with that has billions of dollars invested in overseas oil equipment for those markets that they're determined to get control of one way or another.

3) And then you've got your beloved Condi. Did you know that she had an oil tanker named after her? Ever wonder why? Yup, Condoleezza Rice, who was a Chevron Director from 1991 until 2001 had a fucking Chevron ship named after her! What’s a girl gotta do to become Bush's Secretary of State? Having an oil tanker named after you surely doesn't hurt! Are you Republican folks starting to get the picture yet?

To think you got fooled by 3 obvious con-artists who have always had themselves buried so deep in the pockets of the oil business...and yet you still fell for it. Hard to believe! I can only imagine what that must feel like.

Now, back to the ship, the one that was named the "Condoleezza Rice" before Chevron quietly renamed it the "Altair Voyager" prior to Bush appointing her as National Security Advisor. Take a look below to see it. Maybe you'll figure out why they renamed it just in time to make you forget about any reminders of how closely this ENTIRE administration is tied to the oil business: http://aztlan.net/oiltanker.htm

If that's not enough, read about why they needed to change the name of it here, too. http://www.sfgate.com/cgi-bin/article.cgi?file=/c/a/2001/05/05/MN223743.DTL&type=printable

Anyway, you voted for the wrong party. If you use your heads, if you start putting the pieces together, maybe you'll even begin to understand a few other things, like why the Bush administration is not interested in alleviating the problem of Global Warming. Afterall, it would not be in the best interests of the oil people to do so, now would it. You who voted for the Republicans are all enablers of a Party whose members put their own vested interests ahead of those of the American public. Congratulations!

People get the government they deserve.
The day is coming when they will reap
what they have sown in their blind "patriotism"
to the biggest traitors to ever walk American soil.

2. Dude, seriously...

That is one pathetic attempt by whoever photoshopped that picture. It shouldn't be too hard to find a picture of the actual ship. Aside from that, though, your post is definitely on the money.

7. Thank you

For some reason, there are few images of this ship online, even though it really existed. I guess Bushco did a good job at erasing most existing images of it that still had her name on it. Goes to show how much they'd go out of their way to avoid drawing any attention to it.

Notice that the other image I found comes from what looks like a German article about it. Must be bushco couldn't persuade them to erase that photo, thank goodness!

3. Where they messed up is that they thought bushco would steal the

oil so that ALL OF US could benefit. Little do the dopes realize that they're stealing the oil alright. They're just keeping it for themselves because as you said, they don't give a damn about anybody.

5. IF

If you use your heads

Therein lies the problem.

9. That's a problem for sure, but the point of it all is that we can never

give up with OUR message to them. If we keep hammering away at educating them with the facts they don't know about, sooner or later it will sink in. As much as we'd all love to ignore them, we're not in the position to do so. We just gotta keep plugging away until it all comes together.
