Cheney is the biggest chickenshit of the VietNam era, without equal!

And his statement doesn't even make any sense.

Democracy is fine for Afghanistan and Iraq, but we'll just have none of it here in the U.S. of A!

"We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain inalienable rights, that among these are life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness.

"That to secure these rights, governments are instituted among men, deriving their just powers from the consent of the governed.

"That whenever any form of government becomes destructive to these ends, it is the right of the people to alter or abolish it, and to institute new government, laying its foundation on such principles and organizing its powers in such form, as to them shall seem most likely to effect their safety and happiness."
-- The Declaration of Independence

A few days ago John Prescott, the British Deputy Prime Minister, summed up the regime of our illustrious King George XLIII in one word: "Crap."

I'm sure he was using a great deal of what the English might call tact, something unheard of among the Cheney-Bush crowd.

Then, just this morning (Aug. 17, 2006), in a 43-page opinion upholding the Constitution on behalf of a suit filed by the American Civil Liberties Union against the King's warrantless wiretap scheme, U.S. District Judge Anna Diggs Taylor of Detroit concurred, in spirit, with the Deputy PM's assessment of Bush's regime.

The court found the warrantless wiretap program illegal and ordered that it cease immediately.

Naturally, King George laughed away such folly, for no law ever written has applied to him.

You have the power to alter the Government, to institute a new Government.

We all have that power.

Let the voters of Connecticut be the voices that begin to silence the evil that has cast its dark shadow over our great Nation for more than five years.

Democracy, and Democrats, frighten Cheney, Bush, and especially Rove. Vote for a new tomorrow, and watch the worms as they squirm!

Shalom, y'all.
