"Bush: Adding non-war items to spending bill should shame lawmakers"
Edited on Sun Apr-01-07 06:03 AM by tecelote
How come nobody in the main stream media has compared the pork in this spending bill with the pork in past spending bills?

1. The best thing he can do is draw attention to the domestic spending included.
"How dare they pad our giveaway to the military industrial complex with spending for our actual citizenry???"

2. Yeah it's gonna totally interfer with his lawless looting of the treasury.
Awww shucks.

- more recent ridiculousness being inclusive of pResidential "signing statements" which repeatedly and predictably negate the purpose of most legislation and grant * and his minions total impunity.

- obsessive "earmarkings" in all legislations by BOTH parties addressing issues that have absolutely nothing to do with the primary content of a bill. I've got a bridge to no where to sell you

-the pRes petulantly wants a blank check for his outrageous Iraq folly. He won't abide by ANY Congressional restraint whatsoever, won't capitulate, and oh. . .he doesn't pay attention to polls or the Congress.

Hmmm. . .Smells like Constitutional Crisis to me.

Psssssssst. . .TRANSLATION: with total control of our voting technology, most of the media, the judiciary, and with most of the Congress totally bitch slapped, why should he give a flying flop about something as spurious as the will of the vast majority of the people?

Anyone who thinks we have anything resembling a truly representative legislature at this point is totally hypnotized. IMHO

A representative leadership would terminally gut the profits of Blackwater, Halliburton, SAIC, Kellogg, Brown & Root, and grossly excessive ones of Exxon Mobil. and give all that loot to the families of both the American and Iraqi victims of this unnecessary and totally illegal invasion and occupation and humbly pay for vast reparations.

-A representative leadership would throw all the optical scanners and touchscreen voting machines and most of the media into the Boston Harbour.

Yeah it would be an environmental nightmare but not be any worse than what the environmental roll backs of the last 6 years have caused.

You guys wake up and smell the Depleted Uranium.

This sh*t has got to stop.

Please consider taking a moment to pray.

"We are creating with spirit transparency and accountability in governance and a lasting peace within Earth."

Happy Palm Sunday.
