Nixon or Bush? You tell me…

Either way, they both deserve the same fate for breaking the law and violating their oath to protect and defend the Constitution of the United States of America.

    "I am not a crook"

    "I did not have sexual relations with that woman"

    "the government can’t move on wiretaps or roving wiretaps without getting a court order."

    Equal justice under law.

    The "morph" video, where Bush morphed Osama into Sadaam, is still #1 in rightwing video stores, and holding onto it’s position.

    If they made this commercial over again, how I wish they would show the other interesting Nixon parallel: the erasure causing the 18 minute gap on the White House tapes compared to the missing emails in Adminnistration computers that Fitzpatrick has identified in his investigation. Media Matters reports that the mainstream press has not yet picked up this story. For those of us who recall Milhouse, this is too rich a reminder of Republican corruption to ignore. Surely some of the talking heads in tv land remember Nixon, or Rose Mary Woods twisted like a pretzel as she demonstrated how easy one might have erased the tapes by accident. Will MoveOn let you put this morph image on the mobile billboard???

    Soldier pays for armor
    Army demanded $700 from city man who was wounded

    By Eric Eyre
    Staff writer

    The last time 1st Lt. William “Eddie” Rebrook IV saw his body armor, he was lying on a stretcher in Iraq, his arm shattered and covered in blood.
    A field medic tied a tourniquet around Rebrook’s right arm to stanch the bleeding from shrapnel wounds. Soldiers yanked off his blood-soaked body armor. He never saw it again.
    But last week, Rebrook was forced to pay $700 for that body armor, blown up by a roadside bomb more than a year ago.

    "President Bush was asked by someone in the audience if he’d seen ‘Brokeback Mountain.’ The president said he hadn’t seen it, but he’d be happy to talk about ranching. Then he added, ‘Ranching still means gay sex, right?’" –Conan O’Brien

    Enough of this Republican politician bashing. Republican voters get turned off by it.

    They know Bush/Cheney and their supporters in Congress suck. We don’t have to rub their noses in it too. People make mistakes. Forgive them.

    It’s time to start promoting Democratic candidates. It’s time to show the Republican voters there are better choices than what they made in the past.

    It’s time to show them candidates who talk like this:

    "The better way is to focus on service.

    It’s about measuring what we do in terms of real results for real people.

    It’s not about partisanship or political spin.

    It’s about protecting the rights endowed by our creator; fulfilling the principle of equality set out in our Declaration of Independence; ensuring that the light of liberty shines on every American."

    ~ Gov. Tim Kaine (D) VA ~

    Here’s another one:

    …we have a challenge – an opportunity – right now to unite this country to work toward a new, greater prosperity, and provide genuine leadership for the world. Nothing should be more important…

    WELFL (#2), I found the link to be interesting reading.

    Two quotes caught my attention:

    "If electronic voting machines programmed by private Republican firms remain in our future, dissent will become pointless unless it boils over into revolution. Power-mad Republicans need to consider the result when democracy loses its legitimacy and only the rich have anything to lose." ……former Assistant Secretary of the Treasury Paul Craig Roberts.

    "The day will come when our Republic will be an impossibility. It will be an impossibility because wealth will be concentrated in the hands of a few." ……James Madison

    Which, once again, reminds me of the JFK quote that I often recall these days:

    "Those who make peaceful revolutions impossible will make violent revolution inevitable".

    The USA is a country that came into being, only 230 years ago, by those who were compelled to overthrow a government that represented itself/"haves", and not its people/"have-nots". Don’t fool yourself that it can’t happen again one day.

    I remember sitting in my apartment in Brooklyn watching the Watergate Hearings. I can still see the guy testifying who dropped the bombshell, with notable nonchalance, that there was a tape recorder in the oval office running 24/7.

    Does anybody besides me (come on, you fellow ‘old-timers’ out there) remember the song about Rosemary Woods played on NYC’s public radio station WBAI at the time? I can still remember some of the words:

    "Oh if I had a friend like Miss Rosemary Woods
    How happy my life would be
    I’d just give all my problems to Rosemary Woods
    And she would erase them for me!"

    Ah, the good old days…when our government was in the hands of a smaller, more manageable bunch of crooks.

    Maybe we do need a perpetual recording of everything the president says or hears. A tag-along recording system or a documentarian style video+audio recording of the presidency would create a perfect record of the transparent presidency.

    Somehow I can’t imagine politicians getting behind that idea.

    Speaking of bugging, let’s not forget this:

    Over the past three years it [MZM Inc.] was also awarded several contracts, worth more than $600,000, by the Executive Office of the President. They include a $140,000 deal for office furniture in 2002 and several for unspecified “intelligence services.”

    LINK

    Office furniture provided by a defense and intelligence firm?

    ooookay………….

    Joan # 16 – well I remember the answer of Alexander Butterfield (please, fellow Bradvillians, which Senate Select Committee member asked the question?), another one of him is just what we need about now. BTW, have you noticed how bipartisan everything has become of late?
