George Bush jr recently implored Saudi Arabia to produce more oil to take care of the "Supposed" shortage that is driving up the prices.

Yeah right!!!!!!!

People in Orange county are buying large fuel tanks and going across the border into Mexico and buying Diesel fuel at $1.90 a Gallon!

Whilst hard workin and a rapidly shrinking middle class is paying $4.99 a gallon here in the U.S. ????

What really gets me....is that the Mexicans are importing the refined fuel from the....................thats right...The UNITED STATES???????????????????????????

Does America have the BALLS ta stand up and go on strike against the horsecrap the Oil companies are pulling on us????

Does this nation even have the wherewhithal to stand up and SAY NO MORE! How aboot a general work stopage for 1 or 2 days a week until the oil companies back the frak off.

 Worked real good in India and Mahatma Ghandi.

Non-violent civil disobedience kicked the British out of India, how about getting the Oil companies attention where it counts, in the POCKET BOOK!

WHY THE FRAK NOT???? They seem ta not mind aboot reaching into my pocket?????

OHHHHHHHH, EXCUSE THE PISS OUTTA ME SAY!

Its Un-American to stand up and say no to an ever more corrupt and elitest bunch in Washington?????

Go on America, like the frog put into a pot of cold water and brought to a slow boil.............waking up when its to late!

I say lets vote David Rockefeller into office. He will iffin elected do away with all borders from the arctic to Tierra Del-Fuego. We can be one great big happy family in the United States of South Central and North Americas.........Or ........."SCNA".

Yessiree we can just kiss the constitution goodbye (is pretty well done in already) be a happy continent of Pions ruled by an Elite few.

Or you can elect me Tyrant for life!

 I will in the tradition of Ceasar be benevolent to my subjects, I promise not to do nothing that My predissesor George Bush jn. would do, with the exception that you can have ME fer life. I truly believe that the more cruel, elitist and incompetent a leader is.........The better we are loved by the subjects. Hence 7 years of the Burning Bush proves this true enough.

Seems, the leaders we really do love or are cherished are assasinated along the way???????????????????????

The cost of seven years of having a Burning Bush in Washington has just aboot run this country right into the ground........perhaps when said and done, triggering a world depression similar to the "29" collapse.

The genius of this administration is......there ELITEST IDEALS that translate into or unfold as "NEW WORLD ORDER". Where there is the poor (you and I) and the rich priviledged few.

Perhaps that may not be there goal; the physical universe does not lie. SEVEN years of this So called president has just about destroyed the greatest country on earth.

After 5 years in Iraq we have spent $527 billion dollars ($235 billion in the last 2 years). (I remeber a direct quote from JUNIOR saying it would only cost us about $80 billion dollars!)

I wonder what the cost will be for rehabing all the wounded?

Or

What have we for this expenditure. Close to 4 thousand dead americans (the widows and families of those fallen receive $500 thousand dollar life insurance money).

Close to 30,000 wounded american troops, cost over the long run around 300 to $350 million.

Just about 100,000 dead Iraqi's.

1.4 million displaced Iraqi's.

Number of doctors that have fled Iraq- 17,000.

We have gone from bein the beloved liberators to the "hated AMERICAN ARMY OF OCCUPATION".

We dont dare leave now after the magnificent mismanagemnent of this Bush administration, from inception to present.

Otherwise we will just have to re-invade and Re-secure the oil fields, and  "TRY"  to keep stable a region that is likened to a rag soaked with gasoline waiting for the match.

Has totally (A quote from the Army War college on long range planning and strategies in 2005.) thrown out of balance any semblence of a "War upon Terrorisim". By the shear volume of resources dedicated to keeping an army of occupation in Iraq; has pretty well derailed any "War on Terrorisim".

There were no WMD'S there, and there was no Al-Quida there either.

I am glad that Hussein is gone and the Iraqi's are free of  a genocidal killer.

We now have a country on the brink of civil war and a whole lot of Al-Quida infesting the country.

On the other hand Bush, Cheney, Rumsfeld, Wolfowitz, Bremer and Rice, have managed to so screw things up over there and domestically, it will take 10 or 15 years to recover from this catastrophic mess.

THANK YOU PRESIDENT BUSH, FOR BEIN THE TRUE ELITEST-PATRIOT YOU ARE!!!!

I SAY DOWN WITH TERM LIMITS.............. I VOTE FOR ......ANOTHER 8 YEARS OF BUSH AND WE WILL BE LIBERATED OF ALL PHYSICAL LIMITATIONS LIKE SAY ........FREEDOM OF SPEECH, CARS, VOTING, THE ABILITY TO EARN A LIVING, AFFORDABLE HOMES, AFFORDABLE FOOD,  AFFORDABLE GAS....................................................
..HELL....YOU CAN HAVE THE SHIRT OFFIN MY BACK MR. PREZ!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
!

Yessiree, he has screwed it up fer his own party, now folks will probably vote in the Democrats and they will withdraw to soon from Iraq and further destabilize the region.

Leading up to or creating another "Re-Invasion" by U.S led forces.

Perhaps creating a real war in the region, with a real volume of casualties likened to WW2 ........................What would it look like say........a pandemic happened to start right as we got right into the middle of said re-invasion?

Whats it gonna look like say a Avien Flu Pandemic starts in an American city IN THE NEXT YEAR OR SO??????

Scientists at the CDC in Atlanta are saying soon, it will be a reality, is not a friggin scare tactic or scam by right or left wingers.

I just pray fer the highest good of our country and Godbless who ever ends up in the white house next year.....they will need a whole lotta prayers and miraces ta bring us outta the tailspin Bush and his butt buddies have placed this country in!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! 

Exerpts from the "Executive Summary" report  to the " House Committee on Oversight and Government Reform"

Web Sight--http://0versight.house.gov/story.asp?id=1535>

Last year, Rep. Henry Waxman released the first comprehensive assesment of government contracting under the Bush admin.. The rport titled: Dollars, Not Sense: Gov. Contracting under the Bush Administration, found that between 2000 and 2005, federal procurment spending rose by over 80% , no-bid and other contracts awarded without full and open competition increased by over 100%, and contract mis-management led to rising waste fraud, and abuse in federal procurement.

This NEW report is the first report to examine 2006 procurment data. It finds that the worrisome trends idetified in the last year have worsened significantly. For the first time, (1) annual federal procurement spending crossed the $400 Billion threshold, (2) more than half of this spending  ---- over $200billion in NEW contracts---- was awarded without full and open competition , and (3) the total value of wasteful federal contractsnow EXCEEDS $1 TRILLION  (from 2000 to 2007).

WASTE, FRAUD, and ABUSE CONTINUE to SOAR.   Last years report identified 118 contracts valued at $745.5 Billion that had been found by GOVERNMENT AUDITORS to involve significant waste, fraud, abuse or mis-management. This years report Identifies 187 contracts valued at $1.1 TRILLION dollars that have been plagued by waste fraud, abuse, or mis-management. In the case of each of tghese 187 contracts, reports from the Government ACCOUNTABILITY OFFICE, the DEFENSE CONTRACT AUDIT AGENCY, AGENCY INSPECTORS GENERALS OFFICE, or other independent federal oversight officials " HAVE DOCUMENTED" significant overcharges, wasteful spending, or mis-management over the last 6 years.

The physical universe does not lie. The Burning Bush in D.C. and his administration are Bad fer this country, the republican party, and most of all, he is lethal to our troops serving in the armed forces and to the Iraqi people. 

http://oversight.house.gov/

The first comprehensive report on the Bush administrations Spending  prepared for the

Committe on Oversite and Government Reform.

I started this journey 2 days ago, when i got pissed at a person by the handle "ArtistEd. My journey has brought me to a very sad place concerning where the leadership of our country has brought us to.

President Bush has said that "limiting the size and scope of government" is one of the "values I hold dear to my heart."

Yet total federal expenditures have increased from $1.8 TRILLION to $2.5 TRILLION since he has been office.

 The report is titled: DOLLARS NOT SENSE:Government Contracting under the Bush Administration

A couple of brief synoptic passages (i aint writting all 101 pages of the most corrupt Administration in U.S.History

CORRUPTION APPEARS TO BE GROWING. The integrity of the procurment process is increasingly being called into question. Over 70 corruption investigations are currently underway in Iraq. At LEAST 785 investigations of criminal activity, including PROCUREMENT FRAUD and ABUSE, are being pursued in connection with the response to hurracane Katrina.

COST TO TAXPAYER

This report identifies 118 contracts collectively worth $745.5 BILLION that have experianced SIGNIFICANT OVERCHARGES, WASTEFUL SPENDING, or MISMANAGEMENT OVER THE PAST FIVE YEARS.

There are more than 500 different sources used in the preparation of this report, more than half are non-partisan.

The justice department and the State department continue to with hold documents that are slowing down some of the major investigations (previously un-classified documents are pertaining to investigations are now being classified).

The administration and atmosphere it operates in is the reflection of the guy doing the leading (leadership 101), in this case George  Bush jr, or as i like to refer to him, THE BURNING BUSH IN D.C.............................

Corporal Wayne Geiger of the Owens Valley was the first to come home in a box from Iraq. A member of 2nd platoon, H Company, 3rd squad, 2nd Stryker Calvary Regiment, at camp Stryker, Baghdad. 

He was killed by an IED in Baghdad on 10/18/07. He was the son of Lt. Randy Geiger and civil officer Kim Geiger of the Inyo sheriffs department residing in Lone Pine,CA.

He was completing his 13th month of deployment.

I was my way to work yesterday when upon entering the town of Bishop, there were hundreds of people who had turned out in support his of family and to pay tribute to one of our own who is gone fer good. We ,live in a very sparsely populated county, so every one pretty much knows about everybody else. Is difficult to convey the emotions of seeing the grief etched upon so many faces as i drove down the street............

 I was listning to a vet the other day, and he said pretty much what sums up the war in Iraq (he survived D-Day and was finally wounded and captured during the battle of the Huertgen forest in WW2, where 24,000 (an additional 9,000 lost to combat fatigue and trench foot) americans were killed in action over a 4 month period, so i reckon he would know what he's talking about when talking about war).

He said very simply, that there is no such thing as a "Good War", there are only wars of necessity. He asked "were we under threat of invasion from Iraq?" There was no WMD's ever found. There was no Al-Quida till after we invaded Iraq (Saddam would not tolerate them).So upon faulty intelligence we launched into a war........................ and with no  transistion to peace or exit stratigy either.

The going to war over an invisible "Imminent Threat" has cost us dearly. This country has not faced a credible "Imminent Threat" since the cuban missle crisis.

How many more of our folks have to die, become maimed or suffer the effects PTS before we get the hell outta of a country that never poised a threat to us in the first damn place. Hell, what can be said after 4 years of war there in Iraq, except when are we leaving?

What will we have accomplished after we do leave? What will we be getting for the blood that has been spilt not only by our own folks and allies, but fer all the civilian non-combatants of Iraq that  have suffered the highest losses in this war.........................  

And you thought this would be a wild sex tale, LOL'S

"The MINUTEMAN CIVIL DEFENSE CORPS"

Dedicated to preserving the borders of these united states from the invasion of Illegal Alliens and drug smugglers.

From its inception in 2005 to couple months ago.

+ Border sightings- 30,108

+ Confirmed with boder patrol, 13,572 intruder apprehensions from 26 countries.

+Rescues - 310 saved from dying in the desert.

+ Five 30 day operations in five states totaling 750 days on watch.

+ 72 monthly weekend operations totaling 216 days on watch.

+ Total days of minutemen on watch at the border 966 days.

+ 100 chapers created in 50 states.

+ Leading the charge: Making Illegal Alien invasion and Border Security a National Issue!

These folks  are all about doing, instead of talking. And the Office of Homeland Security and the Burning Bush in Washington are doin what????? why are private citizens having to step up and take over/add to functions that the Burning Bush in Washington are supposed to by LAW, enforce the constitution and mandates created within governmental orginizations that handle these issues?????????????????

How come he has not been impeached? I mean how many woman need to be raped or murdered, or how many armed robberies, or car jacks, or lost income from lower wages and inferior work, or how many more Billions need to be spent on free health care for illegal Aliens, or the 100's of millions spent deporting them, so they can turn right the FRAK around and come back thru the PRETEND BORDER we share with Mexico.

I mean it, Frickin Bill Clinton was lying about a frickin cigar and cheating on his wife, Thats his frickin prob between him and his wife. This Bullsh_t The Burning Bush in washington is doing is an impeachable offense, it is personally touching and effecting the lives of every single AMERICAN CITIZEN!

Will it happen, Naw, money talks and B.S. walks. Where has ACCOUNTABILITY in GOVERMENT GONE TO IN THIS COUNTRY.  

7 Years of George Bush Jnr. has resulted in what?

A war that has gotten us emeshed in a country that has devolved  into civil war and major guerrella/insurgent actions taking place every day,Of course after ALL combat operations have ceased.

The bottom dropping out of the building trades and housing market, in the last 9 months.

"OUTTA CONTROL IMMAGRATION"  between Mexico and U.S. May as well have a completely open border the way the Burning Bush is taking care of this situation.

And the Al-Quieda has become stronger and larger????

Those victimized by Katerina are still pretty much bein helped by volunteer's and aid from across the country. The Burning Bush administration has been very ineffectual in keeping promises of Gov aid????

The burning Bush promised 2 billion dollar aid package to NYC after 9/11, for some reason, it never materialized????

I reckon a person could say "its easy to critizice other folks", but when the physical universe dont lie, that this Administration of George Bush jnr. has been a growing nightmare, an administration that will go down as the most crooked since the Grant administration of the early 1870's.

I am all for a positive change in leadership. I truly sympathize with the administration that takes over after the Burning Bush in 2008.

It will take years to reverse the damage this present administration has created, before even starting/enacting new policies and relations in this country and abroad.

Stabalization of the patient before forward progress can be made???????????

I dont reckon we can really call it a "war", since George Bush jnr. said that the "war" is over, what 45 months ago, specifically i believe an exact term he used was "COMBAT OPERATIONS HAVE CEASED IN IRAQ". So i reckon all the americans and allied troops, Iraqi people + the insurgents that have died since Bush's proclaiming the war over are just collateral mistakes or little oversites?

"War Tapes" is a documentary from a unit of the 172nd Airborne, shipped off to Iraq for one year not long after the invasion. They are posted in the Sunni triangle including western and northern Baghdad up to fallouja. It is made by the fellas from the unit, not as a propaganda piece, is a film documenting this units experiances in Iraq for one year and a postsrcipt of their return to the states.

Is very reveiling as to what is bein said in washington and what the average troop in Iraq is doin. Folks at Halliburton and several Cheney favorites are makin out fat on this non-existent war. Covers there tour from late 2003 to 2004.

Elections, supposedly legal elections for a new administration of these United States is coming next year.

This is probably about the best time to put preassure on the politicians ta get the immagration under control. I reckon tho in the process they will talk us to death or that fancy double speak, that literally means nothing.

How long would it take for them ( Politico's in Washington) take, to git off their collective dead asses and take care of business in regards to the outta control IMMAGRATION?

As long as the people of this country dont make their voices heard, is how long (DEMONSTRATIONS AND AT THE VOTING BOOTH)!

 I dont recall having anything go up fer debate in allowing Canada and Mexico into the Union? They are foreign countries with a common border with us.

Lets see about having the borders of our country kept secure and the laws of immagration enforced, lets have Halliburton take care of it, I am sure they at HALLIBURTON will give us a discount if we say we know Dick Cheney, LOL'S

CRITICS ABOUND, but few are the folks that are willing to get off their collective dead asses and DO. Probably might cut into my time critisizing other folks. You see, there is positive critisisim and negative. The negative does what?? Tears others down and makes you better than. While positive Critics help refine and develop a solution or realize a goal.

So what are you????????????? A doer or an armchair critic, basking in the cheap glow of self gratification, resting upon the bones of hollow victories?

A doer is always gonna catch crap for taking a stand and seeing a vision realized, they will take risks, and perhaps even fail. But you know what, they will have tried.

An armchair critic risks nothing and contribites nothing fer the higher good.

Why not use the tens of thousands of illegals that are locked up in federal and state prisons to build us a real good wall along the border?????? Is there some kinda moral or ethical issue here i am missing???? Why the heck not? It costs about $45,000 dollars a year (average) per prisoner, I say let them work it off on the WALL. I would rather not hear about some chickensh_t fence, a real wall 16 or 18 ft. high by 12 or 14 ft wide with towers at effective distances that can be driven to on top of the wall.

Hadriens wall  across Britain seemed to work fer the Romans, the great wall of China worked fer awhile ( I think the Mongols outflanked it).

Why not split up responsibilities---------Corp of Engineers design and supervise, the National Guard  of Ca, NM and TX pulling police duty on the illegals building it. Start simutaniously in all three states, and push them fellas hard, 6 days a week, 12 hours a day, slakers git the hole. 

Be one hell of alot cheaper than say, having HALLIBURTON build it for us!

Shoot i dont think its a half bad idea. What do you folks think??? 

One of the main mandates of the Office of the Homeland security is "To keep secure the borders of these United states."

Is one of the first 3 or four mandates. I reckon iffin the office of Homeland security enforced this mandate like they do airport security .............from say within a year of 9/11 or, even say two years from 9/11, we would not be having protests and conversations about "illegal immagrants" flooding into this country from Mexico............now would we????

Accountability..............says that lets git the border closed up and the immagration laws enforced............and hold accountable the political appointees and the President fer what they have failed to do. That is enforce the security of the Borders of the United States.

I reckon iffin a suicide bomber  attacked America and they happened to come thru the Mexican/American border, we would have a Berlin style wall there faster than you can shake a stick.

But beins that the illegals are making American companies fat profits, I reckon this graft infested administration is a little slow to move (7 years to be accurate). The problems were a big problem 10 years ago, and under the careful administration of the Burning Bush in Washington, we have an outta control situation on the Mexican american Border. What are you will you  do Joe Public? Take action or remain inna state of APATHY????????

"Fiasco"

By: Thomas E. Rick's

"The American military Adventure in Iraq"  (with new postscript)

" Thomas E. Rick's  FIASCO......... offers a comprehensive and illuminating portrait of the willful blindness of the Bush administration to Iraqi realities. A veteran Pentagon correspondent for the "The Washington Post", Rick's has done his homework: he has interviewed numerous Bush administration officials, traveled extensively in Iraq and consulted thousands of pages of military documents..........Rick's makles a powerful  case that, far from being inevitable, the insurgency was  a direct product of American bungling."---------------Jacob Heilbrunn, The New York Times Book Review           

" REMARKABLE "          -- Marine Corps Gazette      

" UNSPARING ..............Illuminating............Like it or hate it, the book is a good read." ----------The Washington Times    

" Few would disagree withe analysis in FIASCO. Mr. Rick's makes several convincing points about what underlay the insurgency, notably the supreme importance of the value of respect for the personal dignity in Arab society..........Gripping." ----------------John Keegan, The Wall Street Journal                            

" In his compelling and well researched book, Thomas E. Rick's, a Pulitzer Prize-winning reporter for "The Washington Post", painfully but clearly reveals an important truth about the Iraq debacle: It has a thousand fathers. As the tile implies, FIASCO pulls no punches..........devastating........Damning...........T
homas Rick's reporting is impressive indeed. News on Iraq usually comes with blaring headlines, but Rick's work allows us to fit seemingly disparate events into an overall pattern. POWERFUL."     -----------------The Washington Post        

I am but 3/4 of the way thru, I am thinking a must read fer all Americans, whether yer a Democrat or Republican. Is one of the finest military/gurella Warfare political books we have had the good fortune to come across in some time. If even 50% of what is true about what Rick's writes about............George Bush jnr. has much to answer for, and we............. the American Public and the Iraqi people, are going to  pay fer it..............for many years to come. Really and truly, the Military industrial complex is coming out "FAT" again upon the blood and bones of our citizens and upon the blood and bones of the Iraqi people.

Now you all have heard of the Office of the Homeland Security. These are the folks that are in charge of overseeing the security of these "United States".

Well, The head of the border patrol reports directly to the office of Homeland security. Soooooooooo, what does this mean? Well, that means there is only 2 or 3 people between the head of the border Patrol and the president! I reckon Bush cannot say he was unaware all these years of the outta control situation on the Mexican/American border????

So i pose this question, he has been informed of whats going on, and purportedly he watches more than Ren and Stympy, or the cartoon channel? Perhaps even the Fox network or ......................even LINKTV  (A gasp from the wings, LOL'S).

So what the hell has the prez been doing all this while? And why would he not do anything? He is purportedly from Texas, is he not. I reckon there are alot of companies that benefit from cheap labor and outta control immagration right there in the great state of Texas???

Bein a leader is bein accountable fer yer administration, as far as we know, perhaps Rupert Murdoch might have another view?

What do you folks think?
