Breeding Tells The Tale

Why is anyone surprised by this Dubai Ports deal? Money knows no national allegiance, Junior is all about money, and anything that makes him and his a LOT more money is just fine. Since no American company of significance manages any of the major ports, there's no Bush money in putting them into American hands. But the Mahtouock (sp?) family that runs Dubai are also heavy investors in the Carlyle group that the Bush family has a lot of money in, and son Neil's Insight company has funding from that same family. So Junior won't bite the hand that feeds his family.
In doing this, Junior demonstrates his lack of faith in the American system to provide safe harbor for his family through thick and thin, and he demonstrates his priorities: family first, law second, nation last.
Not surprising for a Mexican father who's seen his family and city neglected ond abused by a single-party government for 70 years, (the goal of the current ReagaNaziCorp.) But for the wealthy son of the wealthy son of the wealthy son of a new York international banker? Well, that's Junior's argument for the elimination of the inheritance tax, and it speaks volumes to me about why it needs to be kept, and the rate increased.
By definition, Junior is an American, because he was born here (more later.) But by temperament, by family upbringing, and as evidenced by every act he has committed in his sorry life, Junior is not American. He is almost anti-American. How'd this clown get to be president? Oh, yea! Family!

Cheney leaving? Won't hold my breath!

My favorite load'a'crap rumor going around right now is that Cheney will step down/be pushed out after the 2006 elections.
Reasons given: 1) He's a liability since the shooting. 2) His health is failing. 3) The Republican Party doesn't have a vice president to run for president in 2008.
Bullshit! In order:
1) When hasn't he been a liability? Please name ONE example of political or administrative competence. Not even brilliance, just competence. Everything this guy touches turns to shit, from energy policy to hunting with friends. I'll bet Ms. Willeford doesn't return his calls anymore, either.
2) This guy's health isn't any worse or better than it was when he picked himself to be vice-president, except that his knees have had heart-attacks since then. And when he's tired, he can just rest out of sight. Every one simply assumes he's off cooking up more tragedies for America to live through and pay for.
3) Republicans need a VP to run for prez in 2008. No argument, this has been the usual pattern for the Republicans. Nixon, Ford, Bush I, Quayle(!?). But the problem here isn't that Cheney won't run, the problem is, who would replace him?
Any respectable candidate for 2008 would want to avoid having two years of the taint of the Worst President Ever. (This is deservedly in caps.) This would immediately gurantee his loss at the polls, and the end of his political career.
Nor would he be acceptable to the Bush White House, since anyone who speaks English and can hold two thoughts in their mind at the same time is going to make Bush look even less competent than he does now. Why do you think the only event Bush and Cheney both spoke at in the last six years was when they were giving unsworn testimony to the 9-11 Commission?!
So what's the point of putting some new face in to replace Cheney when you can't show him off without reminding every voter of the turd you foisted off on them for president in the first place. If anything, it may run off even more voters than the current 'team' will repulse with their ongoing mis-management and malfeasance.

More real stuff later today...

The New Blog

(Miles from home, sans wires, I create an e-mail address, then a blog that uses that address as the contact. No actual connection to my human presence, no link except technical, for the hardwearers that may at a later date subpoena logs and squeeze the MAC address off the IP traffic that sends my posts to the Blogspot server(s?) wherever they may be.)

So let's just bust out of the gate with two little comments.

First, they're called 'ReagaNazis.' They hide behind the well-marketed image that went on the box we now know as the Republican Party, and anyone in the party that argues with the party line is besmirching the memory and ideals of a B-grade TV star, front-man for Darts and Brondes, who was already senile by the time he got tothe White House, and relied on his ability to read cue cards to get him through 8 years + 1 speech of chief executive-ness.

They hate America. At least the incredibly successful America of the 20th century. The one that won two world wars, was a manufacturing powerhouse, gave it's soldiers free college, and set the goal of assuring its citizens that what they bought was what they thought they were buying, what they drank was healthy, what they breathed didn't poison them.

ReagaNazis hate that stuff. They're big on the 'every man for himself!' crap they're picthing as the 'Ownership Society', except that most of them couldn't make it without the stable infrastructure that America pioneered and that the other Western nations emulated.

Our current beast-in-chief is the best example there is. Thought experiment (TE.): Imagine that George Bush , at any point in his careening career, is allowed to fail, to live with the results of his complete ineptitude, to have to learn from his mistakes. With his demonstrable lack of a learning curve, this clown would already have had a child (you didn't know about the Mexican abortion his folks forced the girl to have?) and be in jail for stealing from the company that took over his failed oil company but kept him as a mid-level manager cause he knew where his wells were drilled.

His parents money, cronyism, name, whatever you want to call it, are what make us the suffering sheep we are today. Compare him to Clinton, a guy who made it entirely on the amazing quality of his mind, and a work ethic that always pulled it out of the fire instead of, in Junior's case, always screwed it into the ground.
No comparison...

The other thing I wanted to get off in this first post was:

F.I.R.

Filibuster

Impeach

Repeal

FIR has to be the marching plan for the reconstruction of America by, dare I say it, the Democratic party and its elected officials, starting NOW!
Take a goddamned page from the Harridan of Bel-Air, Nancy Reagan, and 'Just Say No!' to everything this Junior Administration an its fellow travelers in Congress propose. Use every trick in the book to stop these clowns, to stand at least for NOT being haters of the American citizen, like these Republicans are.

Here we go...
