I guess that having actual opponents is not what the 1600 Crew expected. They're looking for a replay of the 2002 elections again. Maybe it's gonna be different this time around. I don't think that the John-squared ticket is going to roll over at the sight of a republican waving an American flag.
Friday's debate demonstrated not only how personal the attacks have become, but also the aggressiveness of both campaigns as they move toward their national conventions. With polls showing the two sides still running essentially even nationally, advisers to Bush and Kerry have made clear they are unwilling to cede any issue or any ground with so much at stake in such a competitive election.
...
"I will give you a value: The value is that when you are entrusted with the presidency you are not entrusted to go and spend one-quarter of your term vacationing," Kerry said. "You're not entrusted to take the time away from efforts to serve the American people." Bush has spent several months of his presidency at his Texas ranch.
Just keep going, JK...it's what needs to be said, among other things. Moving on to the indictment of Kenny-boy, the 1600 Crew is on the defensive big time...
White House officials were concerned for weeks about the impending indictment, because it was sure to revive attention to the former connections between the White House and Enron. But Bush referred to the arrest as a sign of his commitment to cracking down on corporate practices, saying, "The message ought to be clear to everybody in corporate America now that we're not going to tolerate dishonesty in the boardrooms of America."
More Preznit No Donation Too Small talking...while he's running his yap, how about an explanation of that most MBA-driven transaction he was in, Harken Energy. Perhaps a special prosecutor...oh, I forgot we don't do those anymore because the Nekkid Emporer is just sooo honest and trustworthy.
Oh, and let's see, the performers who said all those things that VP Angina said on the floor of the Senate. Fuck it. It worries me a lot more to when un-Americanthings like this get said:
MR. FLEISCHER:...there was an earlier question about has the President said anything to people in his own party -- they're reminders to all Americans that they need to watch what they say, watch what they do. This is not a time for remarks like that; there never is.
Now that's an obscenity.

Joe, the whole effing group is an Obscenity! I have been registering this feeling of complete disdain for the right and all that they stand for for well on to a half a century... I have been apalled at the direction that the country of my birth has taken.. Mr. Fleischer needs to be drug out into the street, horsewhipped, and made to walk around with "Watch what you say, Watch what you do" as a sandwich board yolking him and all like him to petty tyrants world wide..
Billmon's come back on line and he states a key point about the whole Enron fiasco -- it's an Enron appointee on the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission that is continuing to stonewall on the Great Power Fraud of 2001 which took place in California.
Given that Dear Leader and Karl have written California off for 2004, they are just as happy for the issue to stay buried. But there's mileage there for the John2 campaign.

Mr. Murder, he's too busy trying to dream up another "greatest hit" along the lines of let the buzzard fart one that he wrote for 9-11 and you have to remember that he has all those Tommy Chong types out there smoking all that evil weed and fornicatin' and walkin round topless and all them statues that gott have jock straps and bra's... And, you cannot forget that he has to keep all those reich wing fundies topped off on scriptures and baptisms and they also have to be programmed to abstain most everything except believing in Jeezbus Chrimmminie and the Armageddon and Rapture.. Cumon, you have to give the guy a break, I am looking for him and if he ever comes up to my door handing out those silly tracts that are too stiff to use as T.P. and too thick to use for doobie papers and too thin to make crutches out of... I will give him a reason to kneel and kiss the earth.. Me and He, will both go to the emergency room... Him to get my 8 1/2 barnyard boot and his knuts dug outta his ass...
God Damn the Repig Party and each and every one of it's followers!!!!
I am retired Navy and served in nam and for medical all I have is medicare which is NOT what any of us were promised when we decided to make a carreer out of service... I have immigrated to a French Territory, and now am a naturalized French National and as such, I get faster, better and cheaper health care from the French and it only costs me 20% of the bill including med's... At present, I prefer France!!!! The American Government isn't showing me too much for 16 of the last 24 years...
Anyone who blogs on CHAMPUS? A relative had to start paying out-of pocket when mail-orders came in late. Paying as much for a week's supply as a script in some instances.
And walgreens got stripped off provider lists- it's all Wal-Mart's game.
And at times they've made folks wait ten minutes for service. The longer people stay in the store the more they buy.
Fortunately she's on not reliant only on medicare. Her friends are nearly through the "donut hole" level of coverage 3/4 of a year into its inception.
Their plan was to make it go broke by November.So they could AX it if re-selected or blame Dems when the system crashes.
The borrow cieling of just over 7 trillion will be hit in November. And CHina is getting our oil cheaper, our jobs cheaper, has an undervalued currency, trade surplus with us, and is buying up our debt at billions of dollars in interest.
Thanks Bush. You were a great ambassador to China. You did lots of great UN work with them. You and Kissinger had a sweet Detente dance going. Not to mention your work as white house interloper for 4 different terms and Clinton era debriefing overseer.
Anyways back to topic- if others notice stonewalled shipments and out-of pocket upsurges in CHAMPUS please say so we've got to stop this shit before it gets rolling and make the accountable.
Do it before frist can retire to lobby. Wait it isn't like Bushco would stop insider trades- see also Cheney or Riggs bank.
