Here are a couple questions I've always had for people 1) Did anyone here really believe that Iraq had ANY Nuclear materials that could be delivered here? I suspected that they may have small amounts of stuff along with some chemical stuff but I NEVER thought they had nukes or major weapons. The problem - and its the same with the Iranians - is that these bastards would be willing to give it to an extremist group to use against us - I have no doubt of that. 2) Did you vote in 2004 based on terrorism? I didn't and I don't know anyone who did. A lot of people I talked with were voting against the other candidate

Bush Demeans American Election by Brent Budowsky \| Apr 15 2007 - 10:34am \| permalink article tools: email \| print \| read more Brent Budowsky Yesterday's radio address by George Bush included some of the most demeaning, deceptive, dishonest and delusional words ever spoken by an American President. The President said that in the 2006 elections the American people did not vote for Congress to substitute its judgment for his. What a bald faced lie and what a slander of the very idea of American democracy. The President made many misstatements in his radio talking points yesterday, but this one is most noteworthy because it dramatizes every reason that George Bush widely seen as America's worst President in history by a growing number of historians. This is not an attack on Democrats, it is not an attack on opponents, this is an attack on the American voter, this is an attack on the very idea of liberty, freedom and democracy. This is an attack on truth. This is why Bush's Iraq policy has failed; has done extreme damage to the American military; has made Bush a despised pariah around the world, including and especially among the best friends of America everywhere. To claim that the 2006 election meant that voters did not want change in Iraq policy is such an enormous, shameless, demented, and sick assertion that it qualifies as delusion as evil, or evil as evil. I've been in this business a long time, and evil is a word I have never applied to any American President, including Nixon. But to show such contempt and dishonesty about the American voters, in an American election, goes beyond Orwellian deceit. There is something incredibly poisonous, and incredibly dangerous, about any President so: Hyper-partisan... Hyper-delusional... Hyper-deceitful...... The 2006 election was about a hunger and yearning among a good and decent people, for a dramatic change in a policy that is almost universally reviled throughout the free world, and has done catastrophic damage to our country, our military, our troops, our credibility and our leadership throughout the world. The President did not insult Democrats yesterday. He insulted democracy, he insulted America. _______
