First Paris, now Scooter. Who's next?
Paris Hilton got plenty of publicity for her cushy treatment in jail (and particularly for being let out after just a few days). Now, the one scapegoat for the entire Bush administration got off easy - instead of 36 months in prison and a $250k fine, Bush commutes his sentence so he only has to pay the fine - and what do you want to bet it won't come from his personal checking account. I would say it reminds me of Ford's pardon of Nixon, but in that case, the pardon really did just silence the worthless hullabaloo whereas this just demonstrates that the administration is acting above the law. Disgusting. When can we impeach these jokers?

Year 2000, if only it had been a real democractic vote..., we could call out "BAIT and SWITCH" sold to the public- "Compassionate Conservative"
Heck, lets just call it out anyway.
False prophet/leader. The Rovian method - "BAIT and SWITCH"
In case it isn't clear I oppose this regime. In 2004 I made my own flyer of "In 2004 show BUSH & Co. the DOOR!"
But they don't listen, set it up the way they want.
Hey our Constitutional democracy is on it's way out the door!!!
Rove's history is all about him manipulating (masses) anything he is involved in. RNP
Bush family history is heavily documented to corruption as is family today. Security of the Twin Towers/Aiports at time of demolition 9/11/01 was with company I think it was Marvin Bush had leading role. Jeb, Neil...?
Cheney secret - threats to those opposing his way.
Wellstone -- Minnesota
Bridge collapse-- Flooding
Look for Kucinich's Space Preservation Act of 2001, items to be banned included weather weapons. the one that actually passed 2002, has many items deleted.
Trust only in the Lord.
Ephesians 6
10Finally, be strong in the Lord and in His mighty power. 11 Put on the full armour of God so that you can take your stand against the devil's schemes. 12 For our struggle is not againt flesh and blood, but against the rulers, against the authorities, against the powers of this dark world and against the spiritual forces of evil in the heavenly realms. 13Therefore put on the full armour of God, so that when the day of evil comes, you may be able to stand your ground, and after you have done everything, to stand.
14 Stand firm then, with the belt of TRUTH buckled around your waist, with the breastplate of RIGHTEOUSNESS in place, 15 and with your feet fitted with the readiness that come from the GOSPEL OF PEACE. 16 In addition to all this, take up the sheild of FAITH, with which you can extinguish all the flaming arrows of the evil one. 17 Take the helmet of SALVATION and the sword of the SPIRIT, which is the WORD OF GOD. 18 And PRAY in the Spirit on all occasions with all kinds of prayers and requests. With this in mind, BE ALERT and ALWAYS keep on PRAYING for all the saints.
19 Pray also for me, that
whenever I open my mouth, words my be given me SO THAT I WILL FEARLESSLY make known the mystery of the GOSPEL, 20 for which I am an ambassador in chains. PRAY that I may DECLARE IT FEARLESSLY, AS I should.
...
23 Peace to the brothers, and love with faith from God the Father and the Lord Jesus Christ. 24 Grace to all who love our Lord Jesus Christ with an undying love.
(caps are my own emphasis)
I am now leaving this computer, keep well, thanks for your time.
