" We have money to invade Iraq but we can't give medicine to our own citizens." Excellent post. In Saturday's NYTimes, (P. B16), there is a picture of a guy who owns a restaurant. He can afford to flush expensive French champagne down the john to protest France's opposition to the war in Iraq. Do you think he is another rich Bush Republican? If he really cared about Americans, why didn't he donate the bottles of wine that he poured down a toilet to a charity. All over the United States, you see hungry and sick people. This guy's must have modeled his notion of compassion after George W. Bush. PS: Here's an idea for you. Maybe, he never pushed down the handle on the toilet. Perhaps he scooped up the expensive wines and champagne for his wife or girlfriend's bidet! I bet that is what Dick Cheney would do!

Bush gives our money to the big corporations that gave him big campaign donations so, like you say, everyone suffers. Bush is so greedy for money for the defense budget and his war on Iraq that he'll steal the food out of the mouths of America's school children. "In the 2003 version of public squalor, cuts are recommended in programs like preschool Head Start and free school lunches for poor kids. And the states come under pressure to raise taxes for basic needs while federal taxes are reduced. " See: Even homeland security shorted Message 18612827
