Cowboy Shrub Strikes Again

Not that this comes as any surprise, but shrub is stomping his feet, slamming doors and name calling - Again. This time, it's over the Iraqi timetable for troop withdraw.

Just over an hour following the vote, Bush angrily accused Democrats of playing politics and renewed his promise to veto the spending legislation if it included their withdrawal timetable, despite administration claims that the money is needed next month by troops.

"These Democrats believe that the longer they can delay funding for our troops, the more likely they are to force me to accept restrictions on our commanders, an artificial timetable for withdrawal and their pet spending projects. This is not going to happen," he said.

Any guesses what the Dems "pet spending projects" are?

I think bush has completely lost touch with not only the American people but reality as well. He goes off like a spoiled child if he doesn't get his way. He's responsible for the deaths of hundreds of thousands of Iraqi's and his policy's have put our troops and our country in more danger than we were in on 9/10/01.

During my trip across the country I noticed a popular bumper sticker that seemed to be, shockingly, seen more in the red states. "We are making enemies faster than we can kill them." This is his legacy. His failed policies and his cowboy attitude. His warped ideas of religion and even more abstract ideas of other religions and cultures. It is doubtful that this man could even pass a literacy test without cheating.

Now, here we are, standing on a precipice. Our way of life could go either way. We could allow this "man" to lead us into more "designed to fail" illegal wars of aggression and spend us further into oblivion, or we can say, "NO!" Four years ago, I felt alone in my fear of what was happening to my country. Today, I feel like a majority. We, the truly sane and rational, have declared in one voice, "We will not stand for this anymore. We will not stand idly by while you wipe out our liberties. We will not be guided by your fear mongering and war profiting." We spoke loudly last November. We have been on the phone to our senators and signed petitions and stood and marched and this is just the beginning.

"The American people have lost faith in the president's conduct of this war," said House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, D-Calif. "The American people see the reality of the war, the president does not."

"We're going to make a difference with this bill," bellowed Rep. John Murtha, D-Pa., a Vietnam War veteran who helped write the legislation.

"We're going to bring those troops home. We're going to start changing the direction of this great nation," he said, bringing a standing ovation and hugs from his colleagues.

A dear friend of mine smiles when she reads things such as this. She grins brightly and says, "He is going to be the downfall of the Republican party." Ah, her lips to Gods ears.
