That is an amount that very few people can understand. The CBO provided a number that most of us can relate to when they said the Iraq war cost will be $8,000 for every Man, Women and Child in the U.S. If you have a family of four, the Bush war in Iraq will cost your family $32,000 per the CBO report. Another example is the cost of the damage so far in the California fires. That has been estimated at ONE Billion Dollars. That means the cost of the Iraq war is like the cost of 2,40...

The comments made by Rep. Pete Stark that U.S. Troops were being killed in Iraq, “for the President’s amusement” was totally out of line and offended families of our fallen troops. As much as I condemn Bush and his Iraq War policies, I know he did not send our military into Iraq for his or anyone’s amusement. That was an outrageous statement that Congressmen Stark should NEVER have made. I was glad to see the congressman admitted his mistake and apologized for his statement. That do...

Last night I taped the latest GOP presidential debate so I could listen to it today. More and more I have come to the conclusion that both political parties have no clue how to govern America. One of the common themes last night is to cut Federal Spending. At the same time the candidates were blasting spending they want to significantly increase military spending. They support tax credits to enable people without health coverage to obtain heath insurance. At the same time they say w...

I do not think anyone on JoeUser has had more criticism then me. I believe most of these comments were a way of trying to deny the truth of what I have been saying. Below are a series of statements that accurately describes how the major issues facing America have changed since January 2001. Every one on these issues has been a MAJOR thrust of GWB and the factual summary I have included below can be easily verified from various official government agencies. Budget - We went from a ...

That is the title of the editorial in my local paper today. The issue is the refusal of the GOP controlled Florida House, Senate and Governor to deal with exploding Real Estate taxes and insurance rates. As much as 80% of Floridians are is real trouble because of local property taxes and skyrocketing insurance rates. This is not a small problem that impacts the ability of Florida residents to buy a new car or move into a bigger home. These are problems that impact their ability to live...

I hope the Democrats publish a list of every GOP member of Congress that voted against helping our children. They need to be removed from office in November 2008. I informed my congress members I would work against them if the voted to uphold this Bush Veto.

Yesterday President Bush began banging the war drums again about Iran acquiring nuclear weapons and invoking WWIII. That is the last thing we or the world needs. The key to preventing Iran from developing their own nuclear weapons is to provide for monitoring their uranium enrichment activities. A concentration of 5% uranium is needed for use as fuel in a nuclear reactor like the one the Russians are helping the Iranians build. The concentration needed for a nuclear weapon is 96%. ...

This is my Blog about the BS the Treasury Secretary told us in August: Treasury Secretary Paulson LIED About Economy By COL Gene Posted Sunday, August 19, 2007 on Bush Truth Discussion: Politics This week Secretary Paulson said the U.S. Economy was just fine. NOTHING could be further from the truth and we again see the White House SPIN DOCTORS at work. Paulson points to the continued creation of jobs but he does not acknowledge that those newly created jobs are paying substant...

We have never had a Commander- in- Chief that has been worse for our military. I am so glad that I was not asked to serve any of my 30 years while GWB was President. Below is what Bush has done to our military: He avoided service in Vietnam by getting Daddy to get him a commission in the National Guard he did not earn and did not deserve. He disobeyed orders and regulations while an officer in the Air National Guard by failing to take a required physical which resulted in him ...

This is a stinging rebuke of George W. Bush and the entire Iraq War policy. The White House was stunned and the only comment from the Bush Spin Machine was to thank General Sanchez for his service. General Sanchez not only blasted the way the war was handled but said, the current surge strategy is a desperate move that will not achieve long-term stability. General Sanchez also said the Bush Administration handling of the Iraq war was incompetent with no end in sight. As our most sen...

The British PM announced that Brittan will withdraw 1/ 2 its troops this summer and could be totally out of Iraq by the end of 2008. Do you think Bush will get the message and follow suit?

The Bush administration has a real problem now that the al Maliki government has placed the blame for the September 16th attack on that firm. It now appears there was NO State department convoy on the day of this incident. Blackwater also provides protection to private contractor if that was their function on that day in September 16th shooting, was not to protect State department officials are they protected from Iraqi Courts? The al Maliki government has demanded that the Blackwater...

CNN reported the Iraqi Parliament has declared they can not resolve the major differences that exist between the Sunni, Shea and Kurd factions. The Bush policy of a UNITY GOVERNMENT had failed and it is time for the United States to change its policy. Bush has told us the purpose of our continued and expanded occupation of Iraq was to give the government time to resolve their differences. Now that the parliament has declared they can not come to agreement it is time for the Unit...

The U.S. Constitution is the foundation for our rights and essential for the success of our nation. The federal government was brought into existence by the people through our Constitution. Second, the Constitution is the supreme law of the land that controls the actions of our public officials in all three branches of the federal government. Every elected official swears to UPHOLD the U.S. Constitution. The very foundations of Our Constitution are being violated by the highest elect...

Bush vetoed the S-CHIP health Care bill for low and middle income children because it included children whose families had annual incomes above twice the federal poverty level ($40,000). Bush said these families should pay for their own health insurance. Great- Congress should END Federal health coverage for Bush, Cheney, Congress, the Supreme Court Justices etc. All these senior Federal officials earn more then $40,000 per year and today receive that EVIL socialized medicine paid by t...
