'Make no mistake', these people are NOT interested in governing

They are in office SOLELY to plunder the US treasury. To force legislation that allows them to continue plundering the treasury far into the future, and to use our citizens to further plunder the rest of the planet.

Real leadership and governance is merely a nuisance to them. They have gotten so fat and lazy off their spoils that they can no longer even be bothered to pretend.

I realize this is obvious to folks here, i just needed to vent a little.

1. It certainly bears repeating...

I keep hearing that the government is merely incompetent, not malicious. Well, not bothering to be competent is ABSOLUTELY a manifestation of maliciousness, if people die and you don't care.

Plunderers is the perfect word for them.

Criminal Plunderers. They're mafia, not leaders.

3. I just wrote basically the same thing to Landrieu, in the hope

that she will not revert to being one of those nice, reasonable Democrats.

I said they are not to be trusted, you can't deal with the GOP, they are not interested in governing for the benefit of citizens....etc

5. "If you starve a dog, they'll follow you anywhere".

Someone from the Bush Administration said that after the initial invasion of Iraq.

6. Our Dem pols

Edited on Sun Sep-04-05 02:32 PM by KT2000

could do so much with simple charts and finish the repugs off.

First chart: show cabinet appointments and their connections to people like Ken Starr; defense contractors; oil conglomerates; party hacks
this is how government has been hobbled by these people

Second chart: show where the money is going - Halliburton (KBR); defense contractors; corporations; religious organizations

It would be simple and would put it all together for the skeptics. They would only need 30 minutes on TV.

10. terrific graphics.

could these be sent to dem senators and reps?

I think Conyers is one of the few that even realize the amount of info there is out here. The rest are too isolated and cut-off from the folks.

Jeez - the work has been done - now all they have to do is COMMUNICATE!!!

thanks for posting these.
