If that is the proper phrase.
bu$hie...
Will veto the hate crime bill.

Vetoed Stem Cell research.

Cut funding and timetables for the troops in Iraq.

Turned his back on New Orleans during Katrina.

Waged war against a defenseless and non-threatening nation at the expense of mostly poor Americans in the military.

Allowed the Walter Reed situation to get where it is now.
Is totally against any form of universal health care.

Pooh-poohs the Global Warming warnings.
....

I get the feeling that bu$h and his minions really dint care about average Americans or anyone else on this planet, for that matter. They'd rather "decrease the surplus population", and turn the country and the world into a virtual playground for the rich.

Anyone else feel as I do on this matter?

1. Cull the herd? Maybe, but they are culling their chances at GOPig wins in 08.

2. I've thought this for several years now.
The way Katrina was handled really confirmed it.

3. The Bush family...
...has a very long history of interest in eugenics, so I wouldn't put it past them. But then again, it's my firm belief that these are people that have let or facilitated the deaths of 6000+ US citizens and thousands of innocent iraqis to further their political agenda.

4. Much like the Germans felt compelled to rid their society of 'undesirables.'

Not sure if it's their actual policy, but the result is more or less the same. Also, they let New Orleans go because they assumed most of those left stranded vote Democratic. I think you're not too far off the mark there, maveric.

Interesting article on that subject here:

When we read the long list of those whom the Nazis persecuted, we should be able to look around us and see others at risk of being put on such a list. It doesn't matter that no one is being rounded up and sent to the ghettos or the gas chambers. What matters is that the seeds are being set for groups like the gays, liberals, government skeptics, atheists and others to lose their rights in the new Nazi society we are headed towards. Just listen to the Republican-controlled Senate debate on gay marriage and hear them say nonsense that it threatens traditional marriage. Watch how a best-selling Republican author slams liberals as "godless."

6. And don't forget that global warming will impact the coastal areas the most!
