I hate when the media calls Shrub a compassionate conservative
All morning while Shrub was stumping in Penn., CNN called him a CC. This irritates the hell out of me.

First of all, someone who sends troops in an unjust war and has an economy in the tank and has been a part of the worst administration in history cannot be compassionate to the people of this country's needs.

Secondly, a guy that spends 80-100 billion on that unjust war can never be called conservative....it's called insanity.

3. I noticed that CNN and MSNBC
both had the same phrase while Bush spoke this morning -- something about compassionate conservative. I thought the news channels made their won headings and captions for the screen, but based on this morning I'd say they get their captions from the White House.

6. Propaganda Machine
is at working overtime right now......many persons buy right into what they are being fed, never verifying or checking the stories out for themselves....

Some people will believe anything on tv......I was reading what the graduating class here in the midwest thought of the war in Iraq....I was to say the least disturbed and pissed off by their responses....usual conservative b.s. only 2 of 78 had anything intelligent to say......scary thought that many do not even care to look into their news further.

7. Isn't it amazing that he is trying to redefine himself
as compassionate???
How false does that ring?
He's a compassionate war President!
He felt compassion when the thousands of innocent Iraqi children and adults were bombed to death by our government.
He felt compassion when he sent our American sons and daughters to die.
He feels compassion when he orders drilling in the wildlife refuges. He feels compassionates about his vacations.
He felt compassion seeing our soldiers torture the Iraqi "prisoners".
He feels compassion when he allows the coal industry to relax their emission standards and allow more mercury poison into the air.

Puke.
