With a few exceptions everything I and others who aren't Bushies post is true, proven, well-known, documented, published in the mainstream press and should be known to everyone, including you. I know you are pimping desperately for Bush and think he's great, but face it, Bushies are crass elitist profiteers who think nothing of lying or cheating if they think they can get away with it and make more windfall profits for themselves. They do it all the time. That has certainly been proven. And no blaming liberals will make that go away. yes some things posted are hard to prove, like that certain rightwingers are gay, but if you use your common sense you will see that almost everything you challenge is absolutely logical. For instance, why did a bunch of Texas oil executives in office pick Iraq to invade even though they hadn't attacked us and were not shielding Al Qaida? The answer is simple if you've ever hung out with oil executives. And it had nothing to do with Iraqi democracy or freedom. It was just about oil, money and power. For themselves, not us. That is just one of many examples. Look at Halliburton, Enron, Carlyle Group and follow the money. To understand Bushies secrets, just look at what they do right after they win an election when they have a honeymoon period. Bush and Delay loosened anti-corruption and pollution laws, promoted anyone who'd lied for them, massive pork barrel spending as gifts to all their contributors, spurring the oil price spikes, started trying to privatize the government and public's weath, let the lobbyists shower them with more money, pandered to the far right religious nuts and pushed through a bill to allow drilling in wilderness areas. All unpopular things, but those were their #1 priorities.
