Time for the truth
Lets see all the stuff the Bush administration has done or tried to do since the start of the election season to win congress again:



-Killed Al Zarqwai touted by the administration as a turning point in Iraq. Like all the other great turning points all we are doing is going in circles. Nothing has changed in Iraq. Actually is has gotten worse.

-Capture of the 9 men in Florida, who were believed wanted to blow up the Sears tower. No proof in this matter only the fact they told some under cover cop they wanted to this if they provided them with $50 000. We have figured out by now these guys were either crazy or just looking for an easy pay day.

- We found WMD's in Iraq. At least according to what Rick Santorum tells us. Not backed up by the White House. We later found out that this stuff was in Iraq before the original Gulf War. Also that this stuff is as potent as Lysol.

-Silly war between Israel-Hezbollah supported by Bush administration to take the spotlight of the real issues. This became big news but remember while 1000 deaths occurred during this war over 3400 deaths occurred in Iraq.

-Capture of supposed terrorists in Britain. All uncovered by the British & Pakistani government. Our homeland security said they used the great NSA call listening-spying program to help. But no further comments on this. Did they really listen to these guys. Come one they were just scoring political points.

-Capture of supposed terrorists with 1000 cell phones in their possession who were supposedly going to blow up a bridge in Chicago. Now we have learned all they were doing was re-selling the cell phones for profit.

-Proposed a ban on gay marriages in the Senate. Failed but appealed to the rights agenda

-Proposed ban on flag burning. Once again failed appealed to the Rights agenda

-Tax cuts for the rich passed. So they could create more jobs in China.

- "Stay the course" in Iraq - whatever that means. No change in policy here. Just more idiots patting each other on the back on another great plan. How is that a plan?


Lets see what has been happening in that time of significance.



-3400 deaths in Iraq this month from killings. This broke last month's record of 3100 deaths. This they say is not civil war. Many American troops were killed in this period

-Housing bubble is broken. Economy in slow down & housing prices are now lower.

-Lower job growth figures

-Deficit continues to spiral out of control almost 9 trillion & counting. Each one of you owes $30 000 in taxes to pay this debt.

-Senate fails to pass minimum wage increase twice because of the republicans trying to get one over on the democrats & ultimately the people

-House folds on Immigration reform. Lets not make the voters angry at us

-House fails to pass stem cell research bill after Bush vetoes it. This could have been great in helping people suffering with horrible diseases. He 841st veto of his presidency. The other 840 were not legal vetoes.

Time to take out the trash. We are in for it. This congress needs to go home, go to church repent & promise never to try to go back to DC. People of America you are more intelligent than this.

1. One more
Bush stages photo-op to announce he's sending National Guard to the border, ends up sending a fraction of the number promised, unarmed, no clear mission, no authority to actually do anything.

"Securing Our Borders - Mission Accomplished"

2. Cell Phones
I have a pretty good knowledge of weapons, but I'm not quite sure how all the cell phones could take out a bridge.
They aren't heavy enough to crush it.
They can't convey enough ultrasound to shatter it.
I think the only way to get it done is to show the bridge a pic of Anne Coulter on every phone.
Nothing softens bolts faster than that!
