RipRap

Government Health Care's Worst Spokesman
Why, weeks later, was Bush warning about Iran's nuclear weapons program possibly leading to World War III? That's …..misleading at best.

After seven years people still don’t get it. Bush IS OUT OF THE LOOP……always has been. It’s Cheney, the guy who wouldn’t be alive if it weren’t for socialized medicine - who is running the show. NOW I KNOW WHY the Heritage Foundation, Cato and the rest of the unmedicated Clinton-hating neo-cons blame socialists for this fine mess.
It’s the home loan that was unaffordable
"When do my husband and I get a break? We were responsible and bought a house that we could afford," a Los Angeles reader named Ann wrote among the nearly 500 comments on CNNMoney.com's blog. "Bitter, you better believe it!"

Bush battling name-calling addiction
"There's a group in the opposition party who are willing to retreat before the mission is done. They're willing to wave the white flag of surrender." -- Bush Link

"The Democrats are the party of cut and run ...They talk tough on terror, but when the votes are counted, their softer side comes out." -- Bush, who's not into name-calling

"The most disappointing thing about Washington has been the name-calling. And I've tried hard not to do that. I've tried to be respectful to all parties." -- Bush Link
NOT name-calling should come easy to someone in the position of president of the United States, but some things don't come easy for Bush.
Abducted and Gang Raped - God Willing
Tribune Excerpt:
An analogous controversy has erupted in Saudi Arabia, where a court has seen fit to sentence a rape victim to some 200 lashes for being in the company of a man to whom she was not related. She was abducted by seven other men and gang-raped. Again, the Saudi court and its apologists have attempted to justify this travesty on religious grounds, citing "Islamic law" and values.
Good ol’ religious values and the seperation of church and state…………oh, never mind.
Money Trumps Peace
Transcript:
"One, many companies are fearful of losing market share in Iran to another company. So I spend a fair amount of time trying to convince our counterparts that they need to convince the private sector folks that it is in their interests and for the sake of peace that there be a common effort to convince the Iranians to change their ways, and that there's a better way forward. -– George W.Bush 12-4-07
Isn’t Iran labeled as a terror state, axis of evil, etc.? What are American companies doing there? If Iran is such a major threat to America – why is Bush so concerned about the profits or safety of foreign companies?
Clinton Losing Traction?
Clinton Iranian Diplomacy Vote:
Clinton said her vote was aimed at encouraging diplomacy and deterring the administration from using military force against the Iranians. She sharply objected to Edwards's characterization of the vote. "I understand politics, and I understand making outlandish political charges, but this really goes way too far," Clinton said. "Having designated the Iranian Revolutionary Guard a terrorist organization, we've actually seen some changes in their behavior."
Exactly what changes? It certainly wasn’t the scuttling of their nuclear weapons program. They supposedly scrapped that in 2003, four years before the questionable senate vote. What Iran proceeded to do was call a parliamentary session of their own and label the CIA and U.S Army as terror organizations. How's that for encouraging diplomacy? It’s one thing gravitating toward the center to get support but this vote by Hillary appeases only apocalyptic right-wing neanderthals – Clinton doesn't need their support to win.
Fear This
An Observation: I do a lot of image searching on Google and it seems no matter what keywords I use with "cartoon", the image of the turbin-wearing bearded guy with the bomb seems to show up. It might not be on the first page, but its there one way or another. For instance, I searched “doctors nurses convention cartoon” and it was on the second page. Of course the message is - this guy is everywhere and that’s what someone wants you to know. Talk about spreading fear.
