The law doesn't apply to Bush, why change now?
Posted by goose1 at February 28, 2006 01:58 PMBush's problem is, he hails from a family that has associated with the very worst criminal families in the Middle East for decades.
His allegiances aren't to the American people and our needs (like security), but to rewarding old family relationships who funded the Bush political machine.
For example, $1 million from the UAE to his daddy's presidential library in College Station, TX. How much will the UAE give to Bush Jr,'s presidential library (providing a city is foolish enough to want it) once he's finally out of office?
Posted by Christopher at February 28, 2006 02:01 PMIf Bush did'nt even know about this deal until after the fact, do you really think he knew they were boycotting Israel? Talk about being in a
bubble!
Bob Schiffer just mentioned the Arab boycott on CBS.
Posted by Judith at February 28, 2006 03:58 PMBush is blackmailed by the Ayrabs because if he does't let them control the USA--the ports are the least of it--them Ayrabs will spill about his ordering 9/11. I'm also boycotting the Oscar broadcast, not that I would've watched it anyway, because of the Palastinian movie Paradise Now was sneered at. The Yiddish movie moguls sure enjoy Bush's tax cuts for the rich...

Posted by bbtb at February 28, 2006 04:40 PMHey Lieberman, how you like your boys in the WH supporting a company who is boycotting Israel?
Posted by Judith at February 28, 2006 06:29 PMOFF TOPIC, but thought this interesting, as it plays into what has been said on this Blog. I guess the "Libby case is far more lethal than the hunting accident."
Vice President Dick Cheney is expected to retire within a year. Senior GOP sources envision the retirement of Mr. Cheney in 2007, months after the congressional elections. The sources said Mr. Cheney would be persuaded to step down as he becomes an increasing political liability to President Bush.
Now who do you think will take his place if he retires for health reasons?

Wonder what AIPAC will do.

Posted by Tester at February 28, 2006 06:56 PMTester, after over five years of a compassionate conservative in the WH, I wouldn't put any bets on the following:
"The American public will continue to demand a rightward shift in the Supreme Court, expecting one of the four leftist Justices to be replaced with a conservative, when the time arises. The actions of Congress will reflect this, no matter how much pressure far-left groups exert."
"The court is moving to the Right, which makes sense, as the entire country has moved to the Right: toward a much more conservative, authoritarian type of gov't (unitary executive, anyone?)."
Posted by Judith at February 28, 2006 07:10 PMRe: boycott: chimp make rules as he goes. Don't forget that "the constitution of the United States is just a piece of paper..." He keeps getting away with this crap because it's part of the plan. For a guy who wasn't elected TWICE, he sure is doing us a lot of damage.
Re: Cheney - when mafia guys are "retired" they get to go out on lake tahoe and go fishing. How else would he "sleep with the fishes"? I hope they take him out soon - don't forget, we pay for this medical team he has with him 24/7. What a rip-off. I'm sure they could have found someone twice as evil and healthy at the same time. That would certainly put an extra $25,000.00 per day into chimps squeeza-boxah.
Chimp keeps taking money from people who need it vis-a-vis medicare, social security, and the armed forces to "cut the deficit".
Sorry, I got carried away...
Posted by sara swati at February 28, 2006 07:19 PMSome interesting CIA paper work from Richard Clarke at Democratic Underground.
They said to release it to all interested.
Posted by bbtb at February 28, 2006 07:30 PMAt least we can understand the mindset of the Muslim. It's the same as Christians of course. There are those that are going to heaven, our particular religious sect and all others who are headed straight ot hell. Both Muslims and Christians subscribe to the notion of "a place called hell" where all except theirs is headed. Since Jews are ruled out of heaven then there is just one place left for them, hell. In that case, and according to the historical record, why not give them a head start. It's my understanding that Bush is "born again" meaning that he is heaven bound and also meaning that only his fellow "born agains" will be tagging along. I can't help but notice that Jews are again ruled out. Of course it's not "politically good" to NOT support Israel what with the holocost and all. Well, and a few million Jews that vote. Bush probably forgot himself.
He has also failed to notice that the "born again" thing puts him is a special race of people, a master race of a sorts. That's probably a good idea except for one thing. The "manual at arms" of born agains, the Bible is a proved hoax. That proof comes with the history of a place called hell which proves that his "faith" is a lot older than advertised.
Hell as taught by both Christians and Muslims was invented by Pharaoh. This story and proof the Bible is a hoax is on the net at http://www.hoax-buster.org
Thousands are now seeing the truth for the first time in 5,000 years. This will change attitudes about a lot of things the most profound is the notion that one can take the life of another with impunity, i.e. the victim is going to hell while the killer is protected by God. Hell is a proved lie by the finding of the liar and his documentation of his own lie.
"This will change attitudes about a lot of things the most profound is the notion that one can take the life of another with impunity, i.e. the victim is going to hell while the killer is protected by God."
No true follower of Christ believes that crap. Religion is like politics. Some follow blindly the teachings, like sheep, of zealots, while others educate themselves and seek their own spiritual awareness or awakening and relationship with Christ/God. Bush is not born-again, and I wish people would stop using that phase to describe him. The fruits of the spirit are not destruction, killing, lying, and deceit. Those fruits are of a darker nature. Any idiot knows that he is not of Christ.
And Satan looked upon his handiwork and said, "Bush, you're doing a heck of a job."
Posted by Judith at February 28, 2006 10:51 PM"It's my understanding that Bush is "born again" meaning that he is heaven bound and also meaning that only his fellow "born agains" will be tagging along."
Bill, being born-again means that you have accepted Christ into your life. It is not a guarantee that you are "heaven bound." The unforgivable sin is the sin of having known the fruits of the spirit and having experienced the gifts of the spirit, and then denying Christ. For that, there is no going back.
Posted by Judith at February 28, 2006 11:03 PMgood job, judith.
Posted by sara swati at February 28, 2006 11:24 PMBill, I visited the site you provided, and I assume it is your site. Actually, reading your site has literally left me speechless.
Obviously you do not believe, which doesn't bother me. What did bother me however, is your ridicule of those who do believe. Yes, many horrific things have been done in the Name of the Lord in modern times, but I can assure you that the Lord had no hand in any of it.
Posted by Judith at March 1, 2006 12:43 AMJudith, A lot of Bill's site is the same shit that 'scout' (actually Bill) says. Verbatim, I could go back and make some comparisons but it isn't worth my while.
Posted by bbtb at March 1, 2006 07:41 AMBbtb, thanks. I didn't get the connection.
Posted by Judith at March 1, 2006 08:04 AMWhat in the fuck does Israel have to do with it?
Posted by ken melvin at March 1, 2006 09:36 AMThe MSM is beating this race card to death on the port deal. Isn't it discrimination to engage in a boycott of Israel? They hardly mention that, or the million dollar donation to daddy Bush's library.
Just saw the hundred thousand demonstators in India, complete with posters of animals with blood dripping from their Bush photo heads.(CNN)
Remember when Nixon got stoned in South America?
