Sandy Rios is an un-holy cunt.

This dumb bitch (read right wing religious cunt) should probably stick to Vagisil and leave Iraq to grown-ups.

Harry Truman used to say: "I don't give 'em hell, I just tell the truth and they think it's hell."

Clinton simply told the truth about Fox News, his record on terrorism and the Bush administration’s record on terrorism. Apparently, Fox News is threatened by that.

Attacked and still not doing a fucking thing...



The Legacy of President George W. Bush

Why would anyone try to "improve intelligence-gathering capability" by destroying what was left of it? Frustration? Ineptitude? Ignorance?

I have no answer to these questions, but I do know that if Vice President Cheney is right and that some "cruel, inhumane or degrading" (CID) treatment of captives is a necessary tool for winning the war on terrorism, then the war is lost already.


torture is the professional disease of any investigative machinery.

It's a wheel chair...for a fish. What in THE fuck...ah, never mind.

Perception Management on politics at the personal level.


Promote the Three R's of Liberal Government


Don't refer to "the government" and feed the image of a distant, oppressive entity. Always speak of "our government," to accurately paint government as an extension of the people that we control and direct.

Don't accept that the core debate between Democrats and Republicans is whether government should be big or small. Define liberal government as representative, responsive, and responsible and conservative government as elitist, callous and reckless.

In conversations about politics, cite examples from your community where our government makes a positivie difference in people's lives, such as when veterans receive good medical care from a veterans Administration facility or children get access to the Internet at school or in a library thanks to federal funding. At the same time, point out instances where the lack of government involvement made a situation worse, such as when electricity deregulation increased rates and degraded service.

Don't leave it to anti-government conservatives to criticize our government in places where it is not working well. The more we lead the charge for reforming ineffective government, the more credibnility we will have when proposing effective government solutions and the harder it will be for conservatives to exploit those examples and fan overall distrust of government.

Osama bin Laden is in hiding.

It's becoming more and more evident that Bush's war on terrorism consists of getting the country sucked into middle east quagmires and institutionalizing random torture, endless detention and warrentless wiretapping of Americans. I feel so safe.

How Bush is able to get away with playing the Codpiece card when he's obviously completely stymied with Afghanistan, Pakistan and al Qaeda is beyond me. It takes guts to do it, you have to give him that. And in the six weeks before an election in the United States of the 21st century, guts are the only thing that matters.

Chimpy can't hanle a little pressure.

Kondrake: Rice and Hughes Convince Bush To Drop ‘Islamic Fascism’ From Speeches

The phrase is a favorite of right-wing commentators like Bill O’Reilly, Rush Limbaugh, and Sean Hannity; the AP called it “the new buzzword” for conservatives “in an election season dominated by an unpopular war in Iraq.”

Bush White House lied to 9/11 first responders about air quality

So, basically, George Bush and the Republicans intentionally and negligently put our 9/11 heroes at risk of their lives. Then again, they did the same to 150,000 members of our military, so why not another couple of tens of thousands in New York as well? Republicans are so arrogant that they think you can't handle the truth. They are the only ones qualified to decide about your health, your bedroom, and whether you live or die.

Bush Fears War Crimes Prosecution

The Democrats stand a good chance of taking back one or both houses of Congress. Bush fears impeachment if the Democrats achieve a majority in the House of Representatives.

By challenging Congress to focus on legislation about treatment of terrorists - which he called "urgent" - Bush seeks to divert the election discourse away from his disastrous war on Iraq.

Bush: "It's unaceptable to think."


Olbermann: Bush's 'rush' to redefine Geneva Conventions may be mostly about 'covering his own criminal ass'

Truthiness about Diebold from Princeton University: Diebold lies and cheats to destroy democracy for the incompetent GOP.

Abstract This paper presents a fully independent security study of a Diebold AccuVote-TS voting machine, including its hardware and software. We obtained the machine from a private party. Analysis of the machine, in light of real election procedures, shows that it is vulnerable to extremely serious attacks. For example, an attacker who gets physical access to a machine or its removable memory card for as little as one minute could install malicious code; malicious code on a machine could steal votes undetectably, modifying all records, logs, and counters to be consistent with the fraudulent vote count it creates. An attacker could also create malicious code that spreads automatically and silently from machine to machine during normal election activities — a voting-machine virus. We have constructed working demonstrations of these attacks in our lab. Mitigating these threats will require changes to the voting machine's hardware and software and the adoption of more rigorous election procedures.
