“Compromise”. That is what Bush said he wanted. Of course to Bush, compromise means he takes, takes, takes and doesn’t give in return: President Bush would veto a bill drafted by House Democratic leaders that would fund the Iraq war only into the summer months, his spokesman said Wednesday. And the Pentagon said the funding […]
Is it the troops? Nope. His true concern is that if Iraq don’t get better by September, it might hurt the Republicans in 2008. That is what he told Chris Wallace on FOX yesterday. Crooks and Liars has the video. Another really interesting thing he said in the interview was we won’t know until then […]
Another “war” we are losing thanks to George Bush: State Department report on terrorism due out next week will show a nearly 30 percent increase in terrorist attacks worldwide in 2006 to more than 14,000, almost all of the boost due to growing violence in Iraq and Afghanistan, U.S. officials said Friday. The annual report’s […]
Back when Bush and all the government officials talked about protecting our food and water supply? They tried to scare us with these scenarios that al Qaeda might put something in the supply. Here we are 6 years later and is our supply any safer? In the past year we have had numerous food recalls […]
That is exactly what this Republican disgusting excuse for an American said in the halls of our Congress. At one point, Rohrabacher argued that imprisoning and torturing one innocent person was a fair price to pay for locking up 50 terrorists who would “go out and plant a bomb…and kill 20,000 people.†When members of […]
This will certainly become a big thing at this week’s hearings: In the spring of 2006, Domenici told Gonzales he wanted Iglesias out. Gonzales refused. He told Domenici he would fire Iglesias only on orders from the president. At some point after the election last Nov. 6, Domenici called Bush’s senior political adviser, Karl Rove, […]
You got to love how diplomatic this White House is. Here is what they have said today about the military supplemental bill: President Bush on Tuesday invited Democrats to discuss their standoff over a war-spending bill, but he made clear he would not change his position opposing troop withdrawals. The White House bluntly said the […]
Perhaps this war: Income inequality grew significantly in 2005, with the top 1 percent of Americans — those with incomes that year of more than $348,000 — receiving their largest share of national income since 1928, analysis of newly released tax data shows. The top 10 percent, roughly those earning more than $100,000, also reached […]
Think Progress has this: A new Justice Dept. document dump appears to “clearly show that [Gonzales’ ex-chief of staff Kyle] Sampson attempted to mislead Congress by proxy — that is to say, he gave false information to DOJ officials who were preparing to provide information to Congress.†That’s illegal. But Sampson says it isn’t true, […]
In today’s radio address: To get the votes they needed to pass the bill, the Democrats who control the House also included billions of dollars in domestic and pork barrel spending for local congressional districts. This spending includes things like $74 million for peanut storage, $25 million for spinach growers, and a host of other […]
