Failure of the Bush Regime

Remember when John Kerry accused Bush of taking his eye off the prize of capturing Osama Bin Laden and bringing him to justice? Was Kerry right? I thought so at the time and I know so now. I don't know if John Kerry was the answer but I believed then and I believe now that this is one of the most misguided, incompetent regimes that has ever stolen power in this country. Remember how Dick Cheney hinted that if John Kerry was elected we would be attacked again. Well, Dick we probably will be attacked again because you stole the 2004 election. That blood will be on your hands because you have taken us to Iraq for oil and sold it to your stooge Georgie W. by telling him he could avenge Daddy by finally getting rid of what had become an impotent Saddam. Nothing this regime spews can be believed. Hell of a job, Brownie!

What Makes McCain Tick?

Will the real John McCain stand up? Actually, I don’t expect him to, now that he is the Republican presidential candidate, pandering to the irrationalities that drive his party. Nor is it likely that the fawning mass media will pressure him to the point of clarity. But I remain genuinely confused as to what makes him tick.
