1. I have a feeling it really is going to be another Mission Accomplished
moment where the facts aren't truly discovered until later.

3. I have been saying
All these fools out here bragging as if we have won the war when in fact we haven't won jack crap were counting there chickens before the hatch. I agree and trust Kerry all the way on this issue he has more brains and sense than any of those dumbasses at the White House or those falling for Dumbsfelds shit at the Pentagon. And like he said there is four steps to doing what we must to succeed and the administration has made it through step four they skipped one, two and three. They have to get the rest of it finished and people should not be over hyping these elections. Yes they were play one important step but it isn't the only step that has to be taken. And I be damn if John isn't right AGAIN! When are these fuckers in this country going to wake up and smell the damn coffee and realize they are listening to the wrong damn one when they listen to * or any of his people for that matter.

I also heard on MSNBC where the pentagon and Wolfiwitz is saying that 15,000 of our troops will be coming home in the next few weeks or early march because they are no longer needed because these elections was such a success and went off with virtually no problems. And I thought OK whatever. Because first off these elections were not a total damn success as they want Americans to believe. Next do you remember the other day when Kerry was on MTP and Russert asked him if he would set a time table or would he bring home the 12,000 troops right away as Kennedy was calling for and he said firmly NO. That was the only thing he disagreed with Kennedy about but he did on that part. And if you remember how all the republicans were putting Kennedy down for what he said and low and behold if the White House and Pentagon don't go and do exactly what Kennedy is saying and the only difference is that they added 3,000 extra to the list. Funny how they are flip flopping on this and funny how it happens after Kerry said what he did on MTP. These dumbasses will cut their nose off to spite their face every time when it come to trying to prove Kerry wrong.

Like I said I trust Kerry his judgment, leadership, and wisdom any day of the week before I do all these dumbasses. And I will listen and take nothing * and his people say seriously. They have proven to many times they are total fuck ups and fuck up everything they touch! I will get my information from a real leader one that knows what the hell he is talking about, what he is doing, and how to do it without being a total fuck up! John Kerry is the real president and leader not those dumbass fuckers.

2. Bush Inc. has been doing this for four years
and I guess our wonderful media is so busy sticking it's nose up Bush's ass they never notice...

I keep hoping that the day will come when the American people, at least, notice.

Sigh....

5. Yes I agree, but PBS is sane sometimes.
Tonight I saw a great piece on the Lehrer Newshour (good show, btw) that had Dubya's stump speech being rebutted by Rep. Ben Cardin (D-MD, really great Dem and good Marylander, too bad I'm from the only district in MD represented by a Repub) at a nursing home in his district. I just think this was actually fair and balanced news, showing both sides of the issue of Social Security.
I am so proud to be a Marylander with Cardin, as well as Mikulski and Sarbanes voting against torture boy.

7. Unfortunately I have Bartlett and he's a Bushie, through and through
(This is MD's 6th district and I've not heard of Gillepsie.)I e-mailed him against privatizing social security and he mailed me back this letter that read like a Bush SS stump speech about how wonderful the programs gonna be. No, it won't be good for me to gamble my SS in the stock market, liking fucking Duh already, you Bushie repubs. Arrgh!
I'm so glad that I voted against Bartlett, even though his opponent (Kenneth Bosley, who I don't know from Adam) got only 30% of the votes.

8. Lehrer is one of the more fair and balanced ones
But I have seen him waver just like the others. Something needs to be done about the all the media whores we have. And you can't help but wonder how damn many more are paid off by our tax dollars to promote * because he is such a total fuck up he can't promote himself so he has to pay others off to lie and do it for him.

9. Agree completely.
They did a segment this morning on Morning Sedition (AD, do you get AirAmericaRadio where you live? You would love it. Morning Sedition from 6 to 9 am has come to be my favorite show) on how this new anti-gang initiative is pumped up with cash and a cynical attempt to raise their support in the black community from 8% to 16%.

And that's the problem - they send Xanax Laura into black churches with fistfuls of cash, and who's there in the media to say what's really going on here - a systematic attempt to peel away democratic support. :mad: :mad: Like * and his cronies care about ANYONE's civil rights. Please.

10. Did you see that he didn't even know about the Voting Rights Act?
Un-fricken-believable!

Bush tells CBC he's 'unfamiliar' with Voting Rights Act

WASHINGTON (NNPA) President George W. Bush met with the Congressional Black Caucus recently for the first time as a group in nearly four years, but what CBC members said stood out the most was the president's declaration that he was "unfamiliar" with the Voting Rights Act of 1965, one of the most significant pieces of legislation passed in the history of the United States.

At the conclusion of the meeting, Bush was asked by Rep. Jesse Jackson Jr. (D-Illinois) whether he would support the re-authorization of a portion of the Voting Rights Act that must be approved every 25 years (It will come up for consideration next year).

"I don't know anything about the 1965 Voting Rights Act," Jackson quoted the president as saying.

He said that a hurried Bush went on to say that "when the legislation comes before me, I'll take a look at it, but I donÕt know about it to comment any more than that, but we will look at it when it comes to us."

11. No We Don't Get AAR Here
I listen to it through my computer when I do. Remember I live in Tennessee do you think they are going to have anything sane about it. As I said before mostly it is over populated with dumbass rednecks LOL. They have Limpballs and inSanity on here but no AAR. Hell Tennessee is still full of KKK big time trust me. This place sucks.
