Yet again Congress shows it doesn’t matter whether it is controlled by the republicans or democrats, the only thing that matters is big business.

Congress just passed another farm subsidy bill to cover more types of agriculture. We are talking about 290 BILLION dollars!!!

Why? So multi million dollar farmers can make even more money all under the guise of helping to keep food cheap. What kills me here is this, where do they think the 290 billion is coming from?

I’ll tell you, our pockets! It is all just a facade. Yup food is cheaper at the time you buy it but after getting bent over by the tax man, the price of food isn’t so cheap anymore.

Now who is one of the biggest backers of this bill? Nancy Pelosi, who owns massive farms and is the 15th richest member of Congress, will profit from this bill through her husband. The income producing assets of her family are in her husband’s name. Pretty slick!

How slimy can people be? Well I am pretty sure that is obvious now.

Our government is corrupt on both sides of the political coin and before we run around the world telling other countries how they should do things, maybe we need to clean the crap out of our own countries’ government first.

Between Bush and Cheney and of course this Congress, we have no room to speak to anyone about how they should do things.

I’ll admit I was pleased to see that someone in our government was finally standing up to the Bush administration. But in my opinion it isn’t enough.

Yesterday, Senator Russ Feingold and US Representative Maurice Hinchey introduced 2 censure resolutions into the House and the Senate.

The following comes straight from the US Senate website, see it here

“The censure resolutions regarding Iraq, S.Res.302 and H.Res.625, condemn the president and vice president for:

· Misleading the nation about the threat posed by Saddam Hussein’s regime and about Saddam’s links to al Qaeda and 9/11

· Inadequate planning for military action in Iraq

· Overstraining the military and undermining homeland security

· Misleading the nation about the strength of the insurgency

The censure resolutions regarding the rule of law, S.Res.303 and H.Res.626, condemn the president and attorney general for:

· Authorizing the illegal NSA warrantless wiretapping program

· Pursuing extreme policies concerning torture and the treatment of detainees

· Detaining enemy combatants indefinitely without charges, access to a lawyer, or habeas rights

· Unilaterally authorizing flawed military commissions that were subsequently struck down by the Supreme Court

· Misleading Congress and the public about, and obstructing investigations into, the firings of U.S. Attorneys

· Making misleading statements regarding civil liberties abuses under the Patriot Act

· Undermining acts of Congress with signing statements based on extreme theories of executive power”

I do applaud them for bringing all this into the forefront BUT we should do more. If a fortune 500 company hired a new CEO and within 6 mos to a year he starts to run the company into the toilet do you think they would say “we have to keep him for 4 years”?

No way! They would fire him and replace him with someone who CAN do the job. Why shouldn’t our presidents have to live up to the same standards. Bush and Cheney have trampled the Bill of Rights and our Constitution, they have made us more hated throughout the world then ever before, they have lied to get us into a war so they can profit…they are criminals.

As such, we should hold elections THIS NOVEMBER and remove both of these idiots from office ASAP not next year; furthermore, we should then arrest these men for war crimes and crimes against humanity. Let the courts deal with those two since they would be private citizens. The president cannot be above the law and needs to be held responsible for illegal actions.

Maybe a little waterboarding will get Bush and Cheney to come clean

We need to stand up together and say enough! You can read more on this story at http://feingold.senate.gov/~feingold/releases/07/08/20070806censure.html

Once again the Bush Administration is up to its’ old tricks. Now Bush and his slimy administration is trying to push through billions in weapons sales to Saudi Arabia and 5 other Arab nations.

According to the Washington Post “The administration plans to sell advanced satellite-guided bombs, fighter aircraft upgrades and new naval vessels to six Gulf Cooperation Council countries, including Kuwait, the United Arab Emirates, Qatar, Bahrain and Oman, U.S. officials say.”

None of these countries involved in this unbelievable transaction are friends of the US. They might want our money from oil sales but most have done nothing to assist us in stabilizing the region.

You would think after mistakes like, arming Saddam in his fight against Iran and Osama in Afghanistan plus the countless other things our government has done in the guise of “National Security”. Everyone of those actions has come back to bite us in the ass time and time again, yet here we go again.

According to the Washington Post “Members of Congress vowed yesterday to oppose any deal to Saudi Arabia on grounds that the kingdom has been unhelpful in Iraq and unreliable at fighting terrorism. King Abdullah has called the U.S. military presence in Iraq an “illegitimate occupation,” and the Saudis have been either unable or unwilling to stop suicide bombers who have ended up in Iraq, congressional sources say.”

Thankfully, Congress is not just rolling over for the President but don’t count ‘Lil Bush out. He has figured out ways to trample the Bill of Rights and the Constitution over and over again during his reign of terror and I wouldn’t put anything past that little scumbag.

The real question here is, which one of Bush or Cheney’s friends will benefit from these sales. Answer….Many of them including Bush and Cheney themselves. There is no other good reason for throwing fuel on a major fire.

Adding more volatility to an already volatile region is just plain asking for trouble. We are already hated in this region, why make it any worse? Do we WANT to get attacked?

Take the time to write your congressman and voice your disgust about this mess. We cannot let Bush arm more nations that hate us just so he and his cronies can make a buck or I should say billions of bucks.

Bush sold his soul long ago and now he is trying to sell ours as well.

It seems that this very hot topic is going to stay hot for quite a while. No matter what legislation they come up with someone is going to be pissed BUT I say if there has to be someone who gets screwed it damn well should be the ILLEGAL immigrants.

Just as the name implies they are criminals who have lived here and not followed one rule to enter legally. They come to the US and work without paying one penny in taxes and if they have children they are automatically excluded from deportation.

Now we have our country with millions of criminals from another country, who pay no taxes, cannot properly follow laws and don’t even bother to learn English.

I asked an illegal immigrant working on a house near my area of Texas, about why so few Mexican illegals living in the US learn the language. He stated that they don’t want to adopt the American heritage they want to keep their own.

Now this pissed me off, no one said they have to give up their Mexican heritage but for pete’s sake out of sheer courtesy they should learn to speak our language. The other thing is the no taxes thing; there are millions of children of illegal aliens in our school systems whose parents never pay ONE DIME in school taxes. So who foots the bill? Mr. and Mrs. America!

No reform better come down from the Government that grants ANY type of amnesty. They are criminals and should be deported and penalized for their past transgressions against the US by entering and living in our country illegally.

Now as for those who have popped out children to stay here, should have to leave with their entire family. People say it isn’t fair because the children are Americans but I say any child born to an illegal alien should NOT be granted automatic citizenship so therefore is NOT an American but a child of criminals illegally in our country.

I know this will piss off some people but too bad, it needs to be said!

Yesterday the Great State of Vermont passed resolution calling for the immediate withdrawal of troops from Iraq AND best of all the Impeachment of Bush and Cheney!!!

I am so very proud of the good people of Vermont for standing up for what is right and I applaud you! If your state wasn’t so damn cold I would move there tomorrow!

I truly believe they have done the right thing and now other states need to follow suit and pass similar resolutions. It is time for someone to put a leash on Bush and Cheney.

For god’s sake we impeached Clinton for having sex and as far as I am concerned Bush and Cheney both have screwed the American people amongst others!

Well done Vermont!!
