'Bush to discuss Afghanistan, dollar on European trip'. Oh great he is going to discuss two things he has no absolutely no idea on how to fix. Makes one feel warm and fuzzy.

Another photo op and paid trip for Bush and Laura and more opportunities for him to cement everyone's opinion of his questionable intelligence.

More from the sideshow! It's too late for Bush to try to rack up some points for his presidency!

How embarrassing.Jun 9th, 2008 - 19:51:09

At least we didn't send him over there; it was at his own bidding. I personally don't want him representing me.

ESS PEE, you are the only person who can answer my questions correctly, all the others are just muck-rakers and I want the truth.

The following shocking allegations have been made against John McCain and if true are dreadful cowardly crimes for a future President to have comitted.

1) Did his Daddy really pay the Gooks a fortune in US dollars so his
precious son could stay in the Hanoi Hilton in luxury and be treated
like royaly for the rest of the war ? A privileged private suite.
Whilst other prisoners were brutally treated and locked up in
bamboo cages ?

2) Was he really a 'Hanoi Songbird' who denounced his country to get
preferential treatment ? A traitor !
Many men are SO brave when having a gun, but become spineless
yellow cowards without one and just captors puppets.

3) Is he really a hero, or just another airman amongst thousands, but
has been painted as a hero by dear Daddies paid-for propaganda ?

If these allegations are true, then this man is a despicable coward
and not worthy of becoming President. Even I, would rather see Obama as President than a spineless military coward. Point 2) should be a firing squad offence and is in some countries.

March for Nationalization of Oil in Los Angeles, California

----------------------------------------------------------------------- ---------

An organized March will be announced with dates and times to display signage that demands that the US Congress pass a law under the threat of National Security to seize control of all oil refining property and accounts in the USA and abroad. This Military action is necessary in order to restore price reduction to the consumer to 1973 levels. Saudi Arabia and any other Opec interests will also be placed on notice. The American Republic will make CHANGE unlike OBAMA claims or McCain!

Hey europeans, as much as you seem to hate the US, keep in mind-we go down, you'll probably go down with us. Now if you don't have a pot to p--- in you probably won't mind. As for Mccain, I'd be willing to bet he did 'sing like a canary' and I can't blame a soul that does under torture. However I do distrust a 'singer' that becomes totally anti-torture because of his singing. I will however vote for the man because he won't tax me to death and I've given up on a true American hero running in this race.

ANOTHER SCREW-UPJun 9th, 2008 - 23:34:05

Here he goes again, screwing up another issue.

What`s the matter ? Has the little Texas turd lost all trust in that black female globetrotter of his ?

You know, the one who piddles around all over the place trying to look pretty - an impossible task for the likes of her - at enormous expense to the taxpayer, doing absolutely bugger all but upsetting just about everybody.

Can`t remember that stupid name ? Oh I know Condomlooser Rice. What a nightmare ! How on earth did her parents come up with that crap from the millions of other names available ?

While I was not there, I have read, extensively, and none of that was mentioned,...then again, it wasn't cruising freaky-deaky websites...

besides - proving him guilty is someone else's job, right?

I went to school with a guy who got a purple heart for getting hit by an army truck, but you do NOT get a DFC for being a lousy, dumbf--k pilot, end of story. If you qualify to fly off the deck of ANY carrier, you are not GW Bush in Louisiana....get my drift? After all, if you are a crappy navy attack pilot...in Vietnam...1n 1966...you are probably already dead.

McCain, in his book (ever read it? ever read anything in print?) even recounts signing n.viet docs due to torture, a practice many had done, and they are not traitors either.

He, correctly states he was treated for his injuries and offered special treatment, and refused early release, a fact not contested.

Nonetheless, he was tortured and spent a year in solitary, another fact not contested.


That said...go find one credible witness, who was there, with him. All the one's who have already given testimony, such has Col. Geo. Day, have nothing but praise for him...and he was THERE.

One credible source...and that would exclude Dan Rather.

Kathy's a little touchy today. I would hope most people would believe very little posted here - it's very possiblly for some people's entertainment.....or at least sometimes it can be entertaining enough to say LOL! Now let's hope Bush doesn't make more screw ups on this trip.

Thanks, your reply is logically acceptable. A kind of 'common sense' approach. I`ll buy that.

I do read things in print, oh divine one - I read your reply did`nt I ?

Kathy must learn to dissociate the attitude euopeans have towards bush from the attitude we have towards the usa .She is right,if the USA goes down,we all go don .Such is the nature of global economy that the fate of all coubtries is linked .What is not linked however is the fate of big corporate business ,always eager to move to which ever country offering the best conditions of exploitation to them .Patriotism isd not part of their ethics,unless it sels at big profit.Doeyou think any big company has trouble investing in China because it is not deomocratic,or supposed to be communist ?Not really they are queuing up in order to close their plants in the USA or Europe for that matter as long as they can profir from the situation of cheap labor costsin China.The weakness of the dollar had had no possitive influence on the trade deficit of the USA,it has not boosted exports,it has not helped create employment .
To me it makes sense to look at oil as a strategic ressource,and indeed nationalize the production in order to control the price ?.What makes no sense whatsoever id fighting wars in foreign counries like Iraq over oil leaving the oil tycooons with all the profits and the american people with the trillions of dollar bill to pay .Anybody seeing logic in that must either be brainwashed or suffer a serious malfunction of the brain.
europe and the USA have enough in common not to be divided by the neocon suppremacists claiming your country to be the leader of the world,free to start pre-emptive wars on false pretence,it has not brought the american people any advantage at all,except for those retarded rhat lack a spine a massively inflated ego.People like SP4 find the reason of their poor existence in claiming they invented the internet,the telephone,etc,etc.He invented nothing,freed the world of nothing but needs tis emprty talk to fill an existence void of thrills with something to brag about.Not my cup of tea excactly.

Kathy must learn to dissociate the attitude euopeans have towards bush from the attitude we have towards the usa .

sp4 - so should you, Tonny.

She is right,if the USA goes down,we all go don

sp4 - not nbecessarily

.Such is the nature of global economy that the fate of all coubtries is linked .What is not linked however is the fate of big corporate business ,always eager to move to which ever country offering the best conditions of exploitation to them .

sp4 - yes, they do, just ask Bill Crinton

Patriotism isd not part of their ethics,unless it sels at big profit.Doeyou think any big company has trouble investing in China because it is not deomocratic,or supposed to be communist ?Not really they are queuing up in order to close their plants in the USA or Europe for that matter as long as they can profir from the situation of cheap labor costsin China.The weakness of the dollar had had no possitive influence on the trade deficit of the USA,it has not boosted exports,it has not helped create employment .

sp4 - actually, not true. free trade is a winner

To me it makes sense to look at oil as a strategic ressource,and indeed nationalize the production in order to control the price ?.

sp4 - europe HAS oil nationalization and the prices are STILL even higher than in America...so...how's THAT working out, so far?

What makes no sense whatsoever id fighting wars in foreign counries like Iraq over oil leaving the oil tycooons with all the profits and the american people with the trillions of dollar bill to pay .


sp4 - why? the oil comppaines never started the war. In fact, by your logic, we'd owe THEM for f--king up a prefectly good relationship. we were getting the oil BEFORE the war.

Anybody seeing logic in that must either be brainwashed or suffer a serious malfunction of the brain.

sp4 - sea above, I could not agree more
europe and the USA have enough in common not to be divided by the neocon suppremacists claiming your country to be the leader of the world,free to start pre-emptive wars on false pretence,it has not brought the american people any advantage at all,except for those retarded rhat lack a spine a massively inflated ego.

sp4 - better read todays news...i t looks like they came around to Bush's way of thinking

People like SP4 find the reason of their poor existence in claiming they invented the internet,the telephone,etc,etc.He invented nothing,freed the world of nothing but needs tis emprty talk to fill an existence void of thrills with something to brag about.Not my cup of tea excactly.

sp4 - we never invented tea. I never said I invented anything, Tonny, except maybe a simple algorythm for valve control, that is not patented. The USA has produced many inventions, like the one above...

which has nothing to do with the article

How is it NOT front-page worthy that a sitting president of the United States had 35 articles of impeachment brought against him yesterday?

How is it NOT newsworthy that phase II of the Senate Intelligence Report regarding the runup to the Iraqi occupation was released yesterday, finding that the Bush administration actually DID exaggerate and manipulate intelligence information to garner support for the occupation??
