"Moron-Americans" IMHO misses the point. I would really like to find out the "real" reasons of this dilemma. Smile c.i.

It has to do with the enormous gap between the picture of America we cling to and the actuality. We don't like complexity.

"WE" may not like complexity, but an awful lot of folks are overly fond of labels, IMO. I guess that's easier than actually examining and dealing with issues.

When the democrats became the champions of civil rights and affirmative action the southern democrats fell of the wagon. Thus the once democratic solid south became the republican solid south. A fact I am sure you are aware of.

Timber, in my opinion this is the kind of stuff which could usefully be avoided. Instead of a grumbling personal attack, why not address the issue yourself -- counter with a example of complexity dealt with effectively, for example?

With combat in Iraq winding down, White House political strategist Karl Rove pushed President Bush's domestic plans in a Houston speech Thursday night, giving special emphasis to a proposed tax cut that is meeting resistance in Washington.

Rove, speaking at the annual Lincoln Day Dinner sponsored by the Harris County Republican Party, is beginning a national campaign to make the case that the tax cuts will boost an unstable economy.

And if Rove's speech is an indication of the president's intentions, Bush also will resume his push for changes in Social Security and Medicare and for national testing of students.

"He will not leave the challenges of today to the president of tomorrow," Rove told the crowd of about 700.

Earlier in the week, Bush reduced his tax cut request from $726 billion to $550 billion amid evidence his original proposal was dead. At least one key Republican, U.S. Sen. Charles Grassley of Iowa, has indicated the Senate will not allow more than $350 billion in cuts.

Thursday, Rove said the Bush tax proposals, including reduction or elimination of taxes on dividends and estates, are needed to boost an economy that he said started to sag at the end of President Clinton's administration. More money in people's pockets will stimulate growth, he said.

What he should have said was more money in the pockets of the wealthy will mean more money in the pockets of our friends and donors. Trickle down economics is a fraud.

PDiddie -- Various news reports point out that, though George Sr. put off campaign for about six months after Gulf War 1 -- out of respect for combatants and their families -- GWB, having promised to do the same, has begun campaigning. Rove is connected with the decision. But it should be pointed out that, all the way along, Bush and Rove (and administration in general) have found that they can say something to the American people and be believed, even when they do the opposite. That is the real problem. REAL PROBLEM.

Quote:
The New York Times reports that George W. Bush will spend $200 million on his campaign for election in 2004, and employ the use of 3000 Americans murdered by terrorists on 9/11 as human shields against opponents' focus on the failed Bush economy.

The plan, according to the Times, is to hold the 2004 GOP convention as close in time as possible to the commemorative events surrounding the third anniversary of the September 2001 attacks, in order to maximize the benefits of exploiting the victims of those horrific attacks by claiming their deaths ushered in a need to advance the Bush Regime's radical right-wing domestic agenda and insane foreign policy agenda.

For two years, George W. Bush has destroyed the most fundamental American values at home, as well as waged wars that reward campaign contributors but benefit terrorists worldwide. If that were not enough, he has done it all in the name of those tragic victims who lost their lives in September 2001.

But the deceased cannot stop Bush from declaring them martyrs for this unelected, out of control regime's power ambitions. It's up to New Yorkers and Americans around the country, who must organize en masse in that city at convention time, and speak up for their fellow Americans and New Yorkers who can no longer speak for themselves. They must forcefully oppose this morally bankrupt, un-American regime that continues to crassly and disgracefully exploited victims of anti-American terrorists.

You're absolutely right, Cjhsa. It is trash talk. About Bush trashing America. I'd call him "traitor," except that's been such an over-used word lately. Perhaps simply "evil" does the trick -- fits well and is fashionable.

It seems that people who go to the trouble of bringing in an article may want it to have some credibility. The obvious venom keeps the article from being taken seriously, except by the fringe left audience.

It's the left's attempt at Limbaugh. If you don't find him a credible source, you can understand why most people think that article is trash.

Certainly not attempting to impinge on anyone's right to post whatever they please-- just trying to explain cj's comment, and my sentiments, as well.

You're just still mad because your b---- got impeached and then you lost the last two elections. Hahahaha!

Again, the title of this thread needs to be changed to "...2008".
