GIVE DEATH A CHANCE


by Malik Isasis





















I now hold the Democratic Leadership and the rest of the Democratic Party in CONTEMPT; they like George Bush, are responsible for the deaths and the destruction soon to follow after they have agreed to give the Giggling Killer billions in blood money, and in exchange, the Giggling Killer and his Despotic Republican Party will offer more blood and flesh to the Gears of War.

Senate Leader Harry Reid (D) referred to his and House Leader Nancy Pelosi's (D) decision to buckle to the Giggling Killer’s request of no timelines or measurable benchmarks as “great progress.”

Where’s Obama and Clinton? No doubt sucking their finger and sticking it to the wind; their consultants are studying and combing the media for just the right statement to make about the Democratic Party’s lube job of the American people who clearly gave them a mandate to end the occupation.

If there was any doubt that these two parties are two faces of the same coin, that doubt should dissipate. Both parties have been infected and corrupted to its core by corporate financing. They are like zombies; every piece of legislation has become death and decay.

Besides Israel, just who stands to benefit by the occupation of Iraq and the invasion of Iran? The huge conglomerate raiders who manufacture weapons of mass destruction and pierce the earth for the finite pools of oil, are the benefactors of the blood that spills and fertilizes the Middle Eastern soil, that's who.

The Giggling Killer and his Bitch


The Democrats waltzed into the majority with a swagger that gave hope to those of us that believed that they would stop the United States’ political, intellectual, and economical degeneration from 6 years of despotic Republican rule but we counted our chickens before they hatched, and are now stuck with a nest full of duds.

The Democrats puffed up their chests and claimed a new sheriff is in town to hold Bush accountable, but every time the Democrats drew a line in the sand, Bush crossed it, and then slapped them. The Democrats then drew another line and dared Bush to cross it; Bush crossed it.

The Democrats have drawn themselves into a corner with nowhere to go because Bush has called their bluff and they've folded like a house of cards. Instead of Dirty Harry, we ended up with Barney Fife.

What will the United States have accomplished by September 2007, that it hasn't accomplished in five years?

Absolutely, nothing. So for the troops that will die from here on out, will be for not...well, not really. Their deaths will have benefited the corporate raiders and their political shills.

Politicians have been giving death a chance for four years. Shouldn't we try something else?

Democratic Party

Punk ass Harry Reid stated that bending over and grabbing his ankles for Bush was “great progress.” How was it “great process” if Bush got everything he wanted, which was to give death a chance and not to be held accountable for that death, and destruction of the occupation of Iraq?

What did the Democrats get?

What did they sell their asses for?

Amy Goodman writes in Truth Dig:

“Rangel and [Speaker Nancy] Pelosi are saying, ‘Well, we’re gearing up for the 2008 election. We’ve got to raise a lot of money.’ They’re closer to the Clinton wing of the party, which is the pro-so-called-free-trade wing of the party, the pro-NAFTA, pro-permanent-normal-trade-relations-with-China part of the party. And this is a way of saying to the corporate community—Wall Street, Wal-Mart—that we’re open for business, we want to raise money from you.” In order to compete for campaign money, the logic goes, the Democrats have to cater to big corporate donors.

Like their despotic brethren, it is Party before principle.

The corporate raiders are riding the Democratic and Republican whores all the way to the bank. Meanwhile, we suffer the consequences of a failed government. The foundation of this country is crumbling as we ease into fascism like a warm bubble bath.



U.S. Troop Readiness, Veterans' Care, Katrina Recovery, and Iraq Accountability Appropriations Act, 2007 [H.R.2206]


by SOURCEWATCH






Following President Bush’s veto of the initial supplemental bill, House Democrats settled on a plan (H.R.2206), endorsed by House Appropriations Committee Chair David Obey (D-Wis.), which would provide $42.8 billion for the Iraq War without any withdrawal timetables or domestic funding. The funding would provide “immediate funding needs” to the U.S. military, including defense-wide healthcare needs, research and development. The bill would keep operations in Iraq going through July. Congress would then decide shortly before its August recess whether to release an additional $52.8 billion of war spending to last through September...read on.
