It is Time to Raise Taxes on the Wealthy and Save the American Dream Republicans demand more and more cuts to social services and programs to reduce the deficit (which they caused), but refuse to even consider raising taxes on wealthy Americans. Taxes must be raised--and will be raised (eventually). The only question is--will they be raised in time to save our schools and other government programs and services that so many people depend on.

No one goes bankrupt or loses their home because of unpaid medical bills. No one has to make a choice between food and medicine or between rent and health insurance payments. No one has to put off going to the doctor because it's too expensive."--BTC News, 6/26/07

Fear! Fear! Fear! Fear is not a new tactic, but it is a tried-and-true tactic. "Our government has kept us in a perpetual state of fear-kept us in a continuous stampede of patriotic fervor-with the cry of grave national emergency. Always there has been some terrible evil at home or some monstrous foreign power that was going to gobble us up if we did not blindly rally behind it."--General Douglas MacArthur

Obviously, they have been listening to what McCain says, instead of watching what he does.... Veterans should not vote for McCain just because he is a veteran--any more than senior citizens should vote for him because he is old. Check out his record. What you will find is a lying, two-faced hypocrite.

Give Peace a Chance The Founding Fathers fought a war to free our nation from British rule. Once that was accomplished, it was their desire to live in peace with the other nations of the world. They left little doubt that the United States should do its best to live in peace with all nations:

What Are You Waiting For, Democrats? The time for talk is over. Bush has turned a deaf ear to the voice of the American people, dismissed the recommendations of the Baker /Hamilton Commission; and is now ignoring the advice of our military leaders. George W. Bush is not going stop the war and bring the troops home. Congress is going to have to stop it for him, and prevent him from starting another one.

What Did Bush Know, and Why Didn't He Know It? Are we suppose to believe that the Director of National Intelligence told the President (and Commander in Chief) that there was new information about the nuclear program of the nation considered to be the number one threat to world peace, and the President did not ask for more information? How stupid do they think we are. Well, Bush is still President, so we must be stupid enough.

Three Knocks on the War on Terror Terrorists have not attacked America again, because they don't need to-- There is nothing they can do that could compare to the damage the Bush Administration is inflicting on America—to our reputation, our environment, our domestic programs, our quality of life.

Bush-League Government P. J. O'Rourke said, "The Republicans are the party that says government doesn't work - and then they get elected and prove it." The Bush Administration proves his point.

Operation: Enduring Stupidity “There will be no retreat,” [Bush] told the Veterans of Foreign Wars. In a word, persistence in a preordained course of action, in the face of obvious and compounding failure – a classic indicator of insanity.”—The Crisis Papers, 9/2/03

Swimming Against the Mainstream Americans have the technology to be the best-informed people in history; but Corporate America does not want us to be informed. The less we know the better—for them. Wars can be very profitable for those who do not fight them, but if everyone knew the truth—who would fight their wars?

The Next Unnecessary War The question is not whether we should attack Iran or not. The question is how can we stop the Bush Administration before it starts its third war in 4 years. It will not be easy. George W. Bush has made it clear that he considers himself to be above the law and answerable to no one. Tell Congress to let Mr. Bush know that his war-starting days are over.

The Beginning of the End Congressman Jack Murtha's resolution to redeploy the troops out of Iraq means an end to the neoconservative dream of perpetual war and glorious empire. This is the beginning of the end of the war.

The Bu$hWorld Report--11/1/07 The Bush Administration has already lied us into one illegal and unnecessary war, and we cannot allow them to do it again in Iran. We must tell our representatives in Congress, who have access to intelligence information--Do not sit silently again and let these madmen start another war.

On to Victory! The Republicans have tried to close the door on democracy, but We the People have managed to stick our toe in the door. Now we have to push the door open and take back our rightful place in our government (The Boss). If we let the Democrats and the lobbyists continue to conduct the people's business behind closed doors, we will be no better off than before.

TreasonGate--part II A recent Zogby poll found that 53% of American adults agreed that Congress should consider impeaching Bush if he lied about the reasons for war. So, when do the impeachment hearings start?

Let the Hearings Begin George W. Bush may not be on the November 7th ballot, but this may be the most important election of his life. Americans, by a 3 to 1 margin, want the Democratic Party to regain control of Congress; and unless the Republicans manage to pull off another miraculous vote count, that could mean big trouble for the Liar-in-Chief.

Justifying or Just-a-lying? Three interesting polls came out recently. One said 53% of Americans believe Bush should be impeached if he lied about his reasons war. Another found 57% believe Bush lied, and last one found Americans wanting Democrats to regain control of Congress. Do I smell impeachments in the air?

Troop Abuse The compassionate conservative war plan is to rotate the same people in and out of Iraq again and again—until they are killed or wounded so badly they are no longer of any use to the Bush war machine.
