When I've looked at old messages, the Democrats would give into just about everything Bush wanted. Bush bought Gephardt, but he couldn't buy Daschle so that may explain Bush's vicious personal tv attacks on Daschle in South Dakota even though Daschle wasn't running for re-election. Why won't the Democrats jump on the trivial? It is a pity because much of what Bush says is trivial. On a serious note, look at how the US exports arms abroad while denouncing terrorism. Look at how Bush and Ashcroft let terrorists or any criminal buy explosives and sniper guns at local gun shows. Last week, CBS went undercover to show how easy it was for someone to buy an illegal gun. I am not talking about hunters. They don't buy explosives or assault weapons for sport. And the United States refuses to ban Land Mines. Afghanistan is riddled with land mines. Children are blown to bits every day. Does George Bush care? Of course not. He has money to make in the arms industry. Poppy Bush, makes a lot of money with the Carlyle Group, a private company involved in the sale of arms. And Jr and Laura will inherit some of that money one day. Just think of all the skin-tight designer outfits Laura can buy. She'll probably outdo Jack Welch's taste for luxury. Actually, she already lives like Welch in the White House: flowers, food, wine, private planes. Ah, the life of luxury. No wonder W wants to wage wars for an American Empire. Look at all the perks he has. The rich always want more don't they? Maybe, Laura and Barbara Bush fancy themselves living in one of Saddam's palaces.
