In case you missed it, the simplest breakdown of the new tax package goes like this: The average American couple earning around $20,000/year gets an extra $10 refund, around $60,000/year gets an extra $110 on paper (better figure closer to $30); that Bush White Tie base, aka two-tenths of one-percent (0.2%) at the top of the pile, get nearly $42,000.00 (forty-two thousand dollars) more off their taxes - as if their accountants allow them to pay any now.
Of course, because the only "new" ideas he ever has are which nasty stories to schmear all over an opponent or family, Herr Rove will have his GOP subjects on the attack with the tried-and-true chestnuts of genuine zealotry: Same-sex marriage banned by Constitutional Amendment (let's use the singular document in the World written expressly to provide people freedom and happiness as a tool to deny human rights); new restrictions on abortions; and restraints upon government spending -- pure hypocritical hubris, as it's been under Herr Rove's careful guidance that King George has allowed Donald "Rummy" Rumsfeld to go nutso on military spending while the Conservative GOP has gone pork bonkers.
The main reason Herr Rove is no longer "officially" on the White House staff should be fairly obvious. This pre-emptive shift makes it unnecessary to go through all kinds of rigmarole when the indictment(s) is (are) handed down. See, the new guys are all in place and running with their jobs.
This way, whatever scenario unfolds, Herr Rove remains free and unencumbered to rule the RNC roost.
Meanwhile, millions of good, Christian, even Jewish, Americans who should know better buy the bullshit.
Does anybody know if Karl Rove has retained his security clearance? If so, why? What, exactly, is his "need to know" status?
Who out there in Readerville thinks for one moment that Herr Rove did not have his tentacles in "The Decider's" nomination of Air Force Gen. Michael V. Hayden as the next CIA director?
There are enough Congresspersons and Senators on both sides of the aisle disparaging this Bush selection. It would be difficult under any circumstances to accept an active duty four-star general as head of this most sensitive, civilian-manned intelligence-gathering agency. But, all things considered - wars on two fronts; an ineffective president; a bullying vice-president; a secretary of state who never speaks a straight sentence; an inept, untruthful secretary of defense; half of the Planet's occupants out to fry us - what the job needs at this time is someone removed from the Militical Machinery of Washington, D.C.
For starters, Hayden has no actual field experience, at least not since last Century, yet King George wants to put him in charge of human beings who live, work and die in hostile environs. He comes from an agency where electronic surveillance is the game.
And, gee, who's been spying on Americans for the past five years? Gen. Mike Hayden. He's even gone around speechifying that it's perfectly hunky-dory to spy on U.S. citizens, and damn the Constitution.
Not only that, Hayden flat-out lied to all America when he said that the NSA "eavesdropping" programming only concerned itself with possible calls to and from al Qaeda types overseas. We now know he was the "architect" of the massive collection of data, billions of calls, provided without a whimper by the three major U.S. carriers -- AT&T, Verizon and BellSouth.
This gargantuan abuse of power has been operating in secret, wholly in disregard of any rights to privacy, since as soon after 9/11/2001 as it was possible to have the plot up and running. This is nothing less than a black ops mission against Americans!
And, as Hayden's reward, Bush wants to put its overseer in command at the CIA!
We're expected to believe Rummy when he tells us that this radical shift in command at the CIA is not a power play. The other guy whose tales we are supposed to buy, John D. Negroponte, has spent his life getting paid to lie. He insists a military officer at the helm of every intelligence agency will not provide Rummy with a power base to control all intelligence via the military. Together their explanations make hogwash.
A military officer as head of every intelligence-gathering service of the U.S.A. will bring us one step closer to tyrannical rule. Every dictatorship and despotic nation -- Nazi Germany, the Union of Soviet Socialist Republics, Saddam's Iraq, etc. - have utilized such a system. It makes all things, i.e. the citizenry, so much simpler to control.
One more General in the ever-tightening BushCheneyRumsfeldRice Cabal, that includes Marine Gen. Peter ("I wanna keep this job as Chairman of the Joint Chiefs that was my reward for agreeing with the Iraq war plot") Pace and retired Gen. Tommy ("Mission Accomplished") Franks.
