Chew on this!
Average yearly surplus by end of Clinton administration: 155 Billion
Average yearly deficit by end of Bush Administration: 500 BillionBush gave 75% of his tax cuts to the richest 1% of America.
The 400 richest incomes in America of 2008 doubled.
I have read that no one gets elected in the US without agreeing to support Israel.
Including interest, we have given Israel 135 billion in military aid.
Gaza has 1.4 million inside about 140 square miles, food blockades caused rocket attacks.
In 47', the UN gave 55% of Palestine to the Jews, who only accounted for 30% of the population.
Last year, 1 Israeli died compared to the average 49 Palestinians per month.
80 Palestinian children died before the first Israeli child.Law abiding Palestinians get their house bulldozed if their children terrorize.
20,000 Americans died before Reagan said "AIDS".
Reagan took solar panels off of white house!
Reagan lowered taxes his first year, then raised them every year thereafter, correcting his initial mistake.
Reagan had CIA initiated programs for training Afghans in techniques such as car bombs and assassinations in cross-border raids into the USSR.
Carter is a saint that won a Nobel Peace Prize and built homes for the homeless.
Bush is moving to a "White Flight" neighborhood.Laura Bush killed her high school sweetheart with her car when he blew her off for a prom, charges were never filed.
If George W Bush shot a stream one dollar bills out of his ass at the speed of sound, it would take over 42 years to pay for the war in Iraq, which includes interest.
Halliburton's KBR, need I say more!
Cheney shot his friend in the face, his friend apologized.
We accidentally shot down an Iranian commercial airliner; we killed 260 civilians and never apologized.
We funded Saddam while he slaughtered the Serbs with VX gas. An enemy of Iran is a friend of ours?
I have seen video of CIA handing giant cinderblocks of US cash to Pakistani intelligence to be distributed to Taliban during Soviet invasion.
We gave Taliban Stinger Anti-Aircraft missiles, they kicked Soviet ass, and never gave back the rest.
Al Qaeda is in 20 countries.
Common Republican misspellings: Factless, misunderestimate, nukuler, taylored, Isreal, musilums, muslum and appoinments.
Bin Laden's goal was to destroy our economy. How did Bush keep us safe?
Bill Maher said that war in the Middle East is like swatting flies with a raw piece of raw meat.
I have read that the intelligence about the WMDs in Iraq came from interrogating (torturing) a guy, Ibn al-Shaykh al-Libi. This delivery of misinformation under torture is taught in Al-Qaeda training camps. Using only words, they removed Saddam from power and began fighting their jihad in the weakest Muslim Country, at our expense. Read 'Inside the Jihad', it is an eye opener.
Torture does not work
1.They don't know anything. Al Qaeda passes information on a need to know, and none of them know much until the moment their plan is to be executed.
2.If they did know anything, Al Qaeda knows that the captured person knows, and they will completely suspend their plan, they are not dumb.
3.Al Qaeda trains their soldiers to plant misinformation under torture.
4.Al Qaeda soldiers run on extremely hot or freezing cold rocks, barefoot, at night, for dozens of miles, they are subjected to torture as part of their training.
5.Al Qaeda believes they become martyrs when killed fighting the Jihad, it is an honor to them. How do you torture someone that is willing to fly a plane into a building in a moments notice?
6.If torture works, then where is Osama Bin Laden?Bush Administration War Crimes and Crimes Against humanity

Ignoring these actions, assures us that it will happen again. "Rule of law" states: Law is king in a free society. Not George W Bush.
If not Manfred Nowak of the UN, maybe a jury of peers should evaluate the truth of these accusations and fate of Bush, Cheney and Rumsfeld, ultimately preventing future violation of the "Rule of Law".Bush's Intelligence report:

Palin Intelligence Report:
"As Putin rears his head and comes into the air space of the United States of America, where– where do they go? It's Alaska. It's just right over the border." --Sarah Palin, explaining why Alaska's proximity to Russia gives her foreign policy experience, interview with CBS's Katie Couric, Sept. 24, 2008"Well, let's see. There's ― of course in the great history of America there have been rulings that there's never going to be absolute consensus by every American, and there are those issues, again, like Roe v. Wade, where I believe are best held on a state level and addressed there. So, you know, going through the history of America, there would be others but ―" --Sarah Palin, unable to name a Supreme Court decision she disagreed with other than Roe vs. Wade, interview with Katie Couric, CBS News, Oct. 1, 2008
"All of 'em, any of 'em that have been in front of me over all these years." --Sarah Palin, unable to name a single newspaper or magazine she reads, interview with Katie Couric, CBS News, Oct. 1, 2008
"They are also building schools for the Afghan children so that there is hope and opportunity in our neighboring country of Afghanistan." --Sarah Palin, speaking at a fundraiser Oct. 5, 2008
"they're in charge of the U.S. Senate so if they want to they can really get in there with the senators and make a lot of good policy changes that will make life better for Brandon and his family and his classroom." --Sarah Palin, getting the vice president's constitutional role wrong after being asked by a third grader what the vice president does, interview with NBC affiliate KUSA in Colorado, Oct. 21, 2008 – and she got it wrong 3 more times in 3 months! YouTube: "SARAH PALIN DUMBER THAN A THIRD GRADER - WHAT DOES THE VP DO"
"I told the Congress, 'Thanks, but no thanks,' on that Bridge to Nowhere." –Sarah Palin, who was for the Bridge to Nowhere before she was against it. 400 million for a bridge to 50 people – USA Today
"I'm the mayor, I can do whatever I want until the courts tell me I can't.'" --Sarah Palin, as quoted by former City Council Member Nick Carney, after he raised objections about the $50,000 she spent renovating the mayor's office without approval of the city council
My favorite: She pronounces nuclear, nukuler. I will bet Ahmadinejad and Medvedev can pronounce it, in English, without an accent.
She wanted to scrap fruit fly research, used in the research of 75% of all human diseases, winning several Nobel Prizes in 1933, 1946 and 1995. Not just used in the genetic analysis of autism; fruit flies have over 100 genes used for research in humans. Youtube: A Lesson for Sarah Palin on Fruit Fly Research
28 years of McCain and 8 years of GWB, and she knew nothing of their policies.
She could not parrot off, even if she just read the funny pages, a single newspaper. I love how you tried to defend that.
She got Mary Ellen Emmons fired for not pulling books from the library Back in 1996, when she first became mayor, Sarah Palin asked the city librarian if she would be all right with censoring library books should she be asked to do so. --Anchorage Daily News. Technically she was not asking. When the mafia tells you, "accidents happen", technically they are not threatening you either.
The Legislature is investigating whether Palin fired public safety commissioner Walt Monegan after he refused to fire a state trooper who had divorced Palin's sister. --Huffington post.
She shoots animals with helicopters for fun. How compassionate and sporting. Just like shooting a friend in the face or vehicular homicide. Is everyone keeping up with me here?
She thinks rape victims should be forced to have their rapist babies. She said that she would personally help them all.
She thinks she can see Putin from Alaska, a huge over qualification for foreign relations.
She once sided with the AIP, a group that wanted to rip a star off of the American Flag: A state that lobbies for more money per capita than any other state.GODSPEED!
