So, what is it that you're disputing? Can you quote
something I've posted and then use written words to
explain why you "think" it isn't true? It's really not
that hard - unless you're a mentally impotent moron. You're
like a teething baby only worse - the baby at least knows
why it's crying. <chuckle>

They're afraid.

The "Bush Derangement Syndrome" has been analyzed by a psychatrist and
he found interesting symptoms and causalities.

http://drsanity.blogspot.com/2005/11...-syndrome.html

"After 9/11, in many cases, even a mild dislike of "W" rapidly morphed
into the ferocious Bush hatred we are now all familiar with. The
opposition to a conservative Republican; and reasonable disagreement
with his policies became a swooning hysteria; and an unmitigated,
deranged hatred with all the accompanying paranoid delusions.

"This psychological defense mechanism is referred to as "displacement".

"One way you can usually tell that an individual is using displacement
is that the emotion being displaced (e.g., anger) is all out of
proportion to the reality of the situation. The purpose of displacement
is to avoid having to cope with the actual reality. Instead, by using
displacement, an individual is able to still experience his or her
anger, but it is directed at a less threatening target than the real
cause. In this way, the individual does not have to be responsible for
the consequences of his/her anger and feels more safe--even thought that
is not the case."

You really do strive to be the best idiot you can be but I think you can
do even better. Prove me right.

Conservatives don't rack up record budget deficits and debt
with out of control spending and expansion of government.
Nor do they start start illegal and immoral wars over lies,
or disgrace the United States of America by torturing POWs.
Conservatives don't grant the FBI, CIA, and Pentagon new powers
to spy on U.S. citizens. They don't hassle Librarians to find out
who's reading what, either. bu$h is a Stalinesque radical right
wing extremist - about as far from a conservative as human being
can get.


http://www.salon.com/opinion/feature...index_np1.html



"Quite simply, the president, despite his well-choreographed
posturing, does not represent traditional conservatism -- a commitment
to individual liberty, limited government, constitutional restraint
and fiscal responsibility. Rather, Bush routinely puts power before
principle. As Chris Vance, chairman of Washington state's Republican
Party, told the Economist: "George Bush's record is not that
conservative ... There's something there for everyone."

Even Bush's conservative sycophants have trouble finding policies to
praise. Certainly it cannot be federal spending. In 2000 candidate
Bush complained that Al Gore would "throw the budget out of balance."
But the big-spending Bush administration and GOP Congress have turned
a 10-year budget surplus once estimated at $5.6 trillion into an
estimated $5 trillion flood of red ink. This year's deficit will run
about $445 billion, according to the Office of Management and Budget.

Brian Riedl of the Heritage Foundation reports that in 2003
"government spending exceeded $20,000 per household for the first time
since World War II." There are few programs at which the president has
not thrown money; he has supported massive farm subsidies, an
expensive new Medicare drug benefit, thousands of pork barrel
projects, dubious homeland security grants, an expansion of Bill
Clinton's AmeriCorps, and new foreign aid programs. What's more, says
former conservative Republican Rep. Bob Barr, "in the midst of the war
on terror and $500 billion deficits, [Bush] proposes sending
spaceships to Mars."

Unfortunately, even the official spending numbers understate the
problem. The Bush administration is pushing military proposals that
may understate defense costs by $500 billion over the coming decade.
The administration lied about the likely cost of the Medicare drug
benefit, which added $8 trillion in unfunded liabilities. Moreover, it
declined to include in budget proposals any numbers for maintaining
the occupation of Iraq or underwriting the war on terrorism. Those
funds will come through supplemental appropriation bills. Never mind
that Deputy Defense Secretary Paul Wolfowitz had promised that
reconstruction of Iraq could be paid for with Iraqi resources. (Yet,
despite the Bush administration's generosity, it could not find the
money to expeditiously equip U.S. soldiers in Iraq with body armor.)"

Why do you want your status as a mentally impotent moron
validated? Seems like you'd want to shed that rep. Why not
just guote something that you disagree with to show us all
that you're not just a hysterical nut case? <g>

Well, I'm glad to see you are finally are up to current events. As for
hysterical nut cases, you and your wacko socialist liberal buddies take
top honors there. Also, go back about a million posts in this thread
and you'll find I already refuted something from that idiotic web site
but you just decided to spew more worthless liberal drivel instead of
providing a cogent response. Unless you can quote from a Soros
supported web page, you have no original thoughts to convey that would
promote a decent debate. When you get a brain of your own let me know.
Maybe then you will post something worth reading.

All in the (Profiteering, First) Family
by Margie Burns

Close relatives of President George W. Bush continue to benefit
financially from the Iraq invasion, as revealed by sources including
regulatory filings.

St. Louis, Mo.-based Engineered Support Systems (EASI), where William
H. T. Bush, an uncle of George W. Bush, joined the board of directors
in 2000, is a major military contractor. William H. T. Bush is a Bush
``Pioneer," a contributor raising more than $100,000, in the 2000 and
2004 elections. Following the 2000 election and Sept. 11, 2001, the
company's federal contracts, revenues and stock price have increased.
The company declined to comment for this article.

EASI received contracts from all branches of the armed forces in 2003.
The Defense Department listed EASI in its top 100 contractors in 2001,
with $330 million in contracts; and in 2002, with $380 million in
contracts Estimates for 2003 are over $380 million.

As luck would have it, company products include ``Field Deployable
Environmental Control Units" to deal with weapons of mass destruction.

On Jan. 17, 2003, the company announced orders from the Air Force and
the Marines for these units, complete with Nuclear Biological Chemical
Kits, in preparation for secret arsenals of WMDs hidden, the White
House insisted, by Saddam Hussein.

On Jan. 22, 2003, President Bush delivered one of several speeches in
St. Louis. On Jan. 28, 2003, he delivered his State of the Union
address, including the famous accusations linking Saddam's Iraq to
WMDs and illicit nuclear material.

On March 26 the company announced an Army order for its ``Chemical
Biological Protected Shelter" systems, bringing Army orders for this
product to a total of 204 units. On March 25, the Bush administration
requested supplemental funding from Congress ``to cover military
operations, relief and reconstruction activities in Iraq, and ongoing
operations in the global war on terrorism."

On May 1, EASI announced the acquisition of its Maryland subsidiary,
TAMSCO, coincidentally the day President Bush made his televised
flight-suit appearance to announce ``mission accomplished" in Iraq.
The following week, TAMSCO announced that it had begun technology
support for U.S. Army logistics operations in the Middle East, stating
that this tech support began linking the United States, Kuwait and
Germany in February, 2003.

The White House has not responded to repeated telephoned and e-mailed
requests for comment.

The stock advisor service VectorVest, which puts out a daily list of
7,500 American stocks ranked by value, safety and timing, has more
than once listed EASI stock in first place. Directors of the company
including William Bush, who is on the audit committee, received
monthly consulting fees and options to buy stock at $28.42 per share.
Company stock, which tripled in two weeks after 9/11, now trades at
$49. In January 2003, William Bush owned 33,750 shares. In January
2004, he owned 56, 251 shares. Directors also own blocks of stock as a
group.

This company track record is only part of a larger pattern, in which
close associates of the sitting president share in financial benefits
generated by the foreign policy of our highest office.

Former president George H. W. Bush resigned in fall 2003 from the
finance giant Carlyle Group, heavily associated with military and
security contracts, which received $677 million in contracts in 2002
and $2.1 billion in contracts in 2003. Carlyle recently sold $335
million in stock from its chief military subsidiary.

Neil M. Bush, a younger brother of George W. Bush, has a
$60,000-per-year contract with a principal in Washington-based New
Bridge Strategies, a private firm set up to generate contracts in Iraq.

A controversial $327 million contract, awarded in January by the U.S.
Coalition Provisional Authority in Iraq, benefits Winston Partners,
the private investment firm of Marvin P. Bush, another brother.

The contract, to equip the Iraqi armed forces and Civil Defense Corps,
went to Nour USA, a Virginia company formed last May, which also
benefited from an $80 million CPA contract awarded in July. Nour USA
has come under scrutiny through its ties to Ahmed Chalabi, a member of
the U.S.-appointed Iraqi Governing Council.

It also has ties to Bush family interests. Nour USA is invested or
affiliated with several companies in Winston Partners' portfolio,
including Hobart West, an employment agency; LogoTel, a clothing
company; and Axolotl, a computer-services company.

Controversy may obscure President Bush's reasons for embarking on the
war in Iraq, but the record is clear that it profits his family.

not going to respond to a lame regurgitation of a wacko left wing
socialist liberal web site. You your brain for something other than a
Maxipad for George Soros.
