I've never heard or seen as much misdirection, lying, hiding and stealing as this group has done and the Republican legislatures follow along like frightened rabbits. Every once in a while a republican legislator sounds independent, but then votes with his party. Everybody is screaming at the Democrats for not doing anything. But it's the republican politicians who don't have the backbone to do what's right for this country. A majority by only a handfull is not enough to force the President into acting responsibly and everyone should understand that. I really believe that "conservative compassion" should be called by what is really is: "hate legislation". I find it amazing anyone believes the current administration.

He also sought $8.9 million for the Points of Light foundation, a pet project started by his father, former President George H.W. Bush."</blockquote> At this point, I think he's embarrassing his family. Then this:

But that was a long time ago. The great investigative story yet to come is how Bush & Dick will cash out from their public service careers as billionaires as a result of skimming part of the money awarded to private contractors ending up in offshore accounts. How else can Bush afford a 4000-acre ranch in Paraguay with round-the-clock protection. All the stories are there in the news, like the $12 billion in cash transported from the NYC branch of the Treasury, by airplane to Iraq, where it was handed out without being accounted for. $9 billion just disappeared without a trace and $3 billion spent on projects without oversight. Which has been the story all along; no oversight and no accounting of the money that's been spent. All looted from the Treasury since 2001. And don't forget Reagan's $1 trillion War on Drugs which helped lead to the prison industry. And this is why the US Republic will fall to make way for another one. <a href="http://counterpunch.org/hirschhorn11102007.html" rel="nofollow">A Conspiracy of Two Parties: The Grand Delusion</a> The US was a great country in its day.
