Check out this site for Info about Bush's phony Prescription Drug plan?? Drug Companies win and all Americans lose!
The arrogance displayed by Bush on his Meet The Press Interview scares HTML out of me. "I will win another term no matter what!
With all negative stuff coming down on him these last few weeks why is he so confident?
He has a rock solid support base. The Right wing Christian fundamentalist, The N.R.A. and the macho, I love war types, will support him no mater what he does or doesn't do!
With that hard line support, The Bush / Karl Rove cartel figure the 2004 election will be very, very close!
Touch Screen Voting machines, without a paper back up, built by big money contributors to the Bush election 2004 Campaign could be the reason for his "I will win no matter what" comment.

Thanks for writing and the link Tom.  I'm still waiting here in Florida for my vote to be counted! A republican friend of mine, who voted for Bush and is now appalled at what he has done, thinks Bush will suspend the 2004 election.  That is scary.

If you listened to the Press Briefing  http://www.whitehouse.gov/# or

Welcome to the White House and look at the transcript from the interview with Tim Russert on Meet the Press you will see that White House Press Secretary Scott McClellan lied to the reporters today.

Near the end of the briefing he is asked something like when they found out about these records and he goes into an explanation that Saturday after the interview they contacted the guard here (I guess meaning in Washington) and they found out the records were in Colorado and after the weekend they were put in touch with someone in Colorado who just happened to be looking for them ... but in the interview with Tim Russert, Bush states that the records are kept in Colorado:

http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/4179618/ or MSNBC - Transcript for Feb. 8th

Russert: When allegations were made about John McCain or Wesley Clark on their military records, they opened up their entire files.  Would you agree to do that?

President Bush: Yeah.  Listen, these files  I mean, people have been looking for these files for a long period of time, trust me, and starting in the 1994 campaign for governor.  And I can assure you in the year 2000 people were looking for those files as well.  Probably you were.  And  absolutely.  I mean, I

Russert: But would you allow pay stubs, tax records, anything to show that you were serving during that period?

President Bush: Yeah.  If we still have them, but I  you know, the records are kept in Colorado, as I understand, and they scoured the records.

And I'm just telling you, I did my duty, and it's politics, you know, to kind of ascribe all kinds of motives to me.  But I have been through it before.  I'm used to it.  What I don't like is when people say serving in the Guard is  is  may not be a true service.

Russert: Would you authorize the release of everything to settle this?

President Bush: Yes, absolutely.

We did so in 2000, by the way.

I was pleased that the press really pushed Scott McClellan.  It is about time.  I feel they are tired of being deceived .

Your Questions to President Bush

When will "Operation: plant Weapons of Mass Destruction" be completed in Iraq ?

What did you do with your tax cut?

Mr. pResident, why did you turn your back on the war on terror to pursue the
Bush Family Vendetta on Iraq?

Is it true Laura thinks you're so dumb, you'd flunk a blood test?

Mr. Bush, can you spell toast?

Has God told you that you might be taking a long, well deserved vacation come
November?

What are you smoking?

Why haven't we found any "weapons of mass destruction"?

why did bush sit in a classroom
for 20 minutes reading children's stories while we were attacked????


When the F... are you going to leave???? We have had enough of YOU ! Ever heard
of Tar and Feathers and a Rail ?????? That sounds like JAIL :-)

Have you ever been arrested for a felony offense?

When was the last time you used cocaine?


Why are you having Martha Stewart prosecuted for a minor stock deal, when your
own criminal selling of your Harken stock goes unpunished?

Bush's release of his National Guard pay stubbs...is this prima facie evidence
of his first grifting of gov't?

Supposedly Bush is going to submit his pay checks for his time served in the
Alabama National Guard. You might want to check to see where they were
cashed--Alabama or Texas?

You haven't found Osama although you said you would catch him "dead or alive";
you haven't found WMD's in Iraq even though that was the supposed reason you
went to war and sacrificed more than 500 American lives and thousands of
innocent Iraqi civilians; you were asleep at the wheel and 9/11 happened on your
watch even though you were sworn in as president to protect the American people;
you have not found the person in your own administration who outed a CIA agent
(a federal offence I might add) as an act of revenge for opposing your foreign
policies; given these failings of your presidency, why should we ever believe a
single thing you ever say again?

Why on earth haven't you answered Michael Moore's questions posed in his newest
book? Especially if they are bunk, like you claim?

quick!, what's 2 plus 2?

wa caint yeew talk ryeit

IF THE SINGLE AND 'THIRSTY' YOUNG LT. BUSH WAS ACTUALLY IN ALABAMA IN 1972-1973,
WOULD YOU NOT THINK THAT HE WOULD HAVE SHOWN UP IN 'INFAMOUS' AND MEMORABLE
FASHION AT THE LOCAL OFFICERS CLUB? MEMBERSHIP WAS A VIRTUAL DEFACTO
REQUIREMENT OF ALL OFFICERS AT THAT TIME IRREGARDLESS OF WHETHER THEY CONSUMED
ALCOHOL BEVERAGES (NO BUSH PROBLEM THERE). UNFORTUNATELY, ALL NEW APPLICATES
MUST HAVE IDENTIFIED THE LOCAL MILITARY ORGANIZATION TO WHICH THEY WERE ATTACHED
(UNLESS YOU WERE NOT ACTUALLY THERE)!
MARK WILSON
P.S. - NOW TO STARTING TO GIVE HIM HELL. KEEP UP THE GOOD WORK.

Thanks Mark.


Why was there was a major policy shift at the National Security Agency shortly
after your inauguration ordering investigators to "back off " from any inquiries
into Saudi Arabian financing of terror networks, especially if they touched on
Saudi royals and their retainers????
-Swami Damnam Bandanaman

Is it true that you were serving undercover as a cheerleader for the Alabama
football team in 1972 & 73?

Why are oil prices 35% higher under your administration than under Clintons? Why
don't we care about our dependence on foreign oil?

You claim that we cannot do business with Cuba because it is still a Communist
State. So why are we avidly pursuing greater trade with China and Vietnam?

Why is it that you are still unable to correctly speak the English language?

Why don't you just crawl into a hole someplace and turn the White House over to
Wes Clark now?

Mr. Resident, which do you think is the more grave of these two offenses? First,
for a man to desert his military post during wartime and because of his gilded
family name, to escape any and all punishment for it? Or second, for that same
deserter 25 years later to help corrupt a U.S. presidential election and wind up
"serving" as commander-in-chief of the entire U.S. military?
