1. Corsi is the asshat that helped elect Shrub by swiftboating Kerry and now he's freaking
out because of this.

Here is the link to the Presidential signing statment.

5. Has he had a "come to Jesus" moment? "Buyers Remorse"?
He is now saying he has never been
an "active republican" and he feels "betrayed".

16. This is the person that has a great deal of blame for Shrub being reselected. I wonder
if he feels any guilt at all for his part in it?

I will say though, that I am delighted that he has a national voice in getting the Shrub's Dictorial signing statement some exposure. Corsi was also on Coast To Coast AM (the largest overnight radio show) discussing this. He is also making people aware of the secret plans for a North American Union and the US being involved with the EU too. As you know, in the Constitution, any foreign treaty overrides the laws of the US. In affect...if we enter into a North American Union, any of the laws that govern it, take precedence over the Constitution. Scary stuff.

2. Who cares if this guy is right about Bush new power grab.
I think we will see more stuff like this in the next two years. It is hard to reason with a man who seems to think he is right about anything. Plus he has a closed mine. Take over is on the books. Bush has spent 6 years putting his people into every agency and it would not shock me to see him try a take over.

9. Well Bush comes from that group that seems to think birth has rights
We know the mess the world can get into when we have birth rights rule over talent. Before long all the Bush's will be talking with a lisp like the ruling family of Spain with this buddy system of ruling by names we seemed to have moved into. Pushing talent and letting the people pick that talent so far has done pretty well by us. I do not think you will find Barbara Bush or any Bush think my way at all. It seems to come down to what Bush feels to day and not one ounce of reason or our constitutions.

6. "I have never been a political activist"
This guy is so full of crap. He should be hiding in a cave somewhere, not appearing on national television. What arrogance.

7. If he hadn't spent so much time lying about Kerry...
this power grab set-up by Bush wouldn't come as such a surprise.

8. The messenger may be correct
Defense of Bush's dictatorial directive by "Continuity of Government Commission" run by American Enterprise Institute neocons says it all. Get ready to bend over Americans .... for 4 more years (or longer).

10. the Exec Dir of the Continuity of Gov (Forteir)
on WJ now is from ......the American Enterprise Institute. surprise, surprise, surprise.


Here's my thinking, is bush going to cancel this measure on his last day (wink), or will he pass this power to Hillary (or whomever else wins). I dont see bush setting up the next president like this.

12. mix this directive with other "hinky" news from yesterday
like Rove's late night visit to the White House, and Dick's visit to the Middle East last week.

14. it could be anything with this crew
they could be planning the news dump for later today, they could be planning a kegger for the weekend, or they could be sucking the blood out of a fresh bunch of newly delivered babies.

Whatever it is, I dont trust them. These are the guys that plan wars in dark smoke filled rooms
