Lunatics running the asylum

Man, how many unbalanced people are there in Bush’s administration? I don’t even watch the news every night and I’ve seen so many instances that I’m incredulous! Just a few examples:

The man himself:
I don’t remember his exact words, but he has been saying something to the effect that people should not judge based on the words that the candidates say, but their records! This is truly amazing coming from this accomplished liar whose words say the opposite of his actions!

And what record is he talking about? His police record? His drug record? His record of ditching the service? His record deficit that he has created? The record low in new jobs? The record number of lives lost in Iraq? The record number of lies and cases of corruption in his administration?

Now he is also trying to stop organizations that are unrelated to the parties from running ads that are anti-Bush! Apparently, there has been over $50 million (!) raised by the American public to educate people about the job Bush has been doing! That shows a phenomenal amount of people who want this man out of office!

But, Bush is trying to compare these commercials, which speak of the facts of what he has “accomplished” in the last 4 years, with the lies that the Swift Boat Veterans for Bush tried to spread. If he was simply asking for “truth in advertising”, that would be fine, but he (apparently) doesn’t think that anyone should be able to say anything negative about him in commercials!

Cheney –
The gall of this man in unmitigated! To actually say that terrorists will attack us if we elect John Kerry is the lowest low ever spoken! Does anyone really, truly think that any terrorists would want John Kerry to win in November?! Bush is a perfect foil for them. They can predict exactly how he will act and he will end up doing their work for them! They already know that he will attack first and plan later and will simply go for the first easy target, rather than looking for the actual enemy. In doing so, he will alienate the UN and any allied countries that we have left, and he will cause even more countries to (rightfully) fear us and think that they could be the next country to be invaded and taken over for no reason!

John Kerry has made it clear that he will work to keep our country safe in the first place and make allies, not enemies around the world, and he will work in conjunction with others, rather than recklessly attacking on our own with no real strategy. Which reaction do you think the terrorists would prefer? Their goal is to make people think that we really are dominating aggressors who will attack without provocation, and Bush is just the person to prove them right!

Rumsfield –
Does the guy even know what he is saying? In his latest speech he repeatedly referenced bin Laden, but kept saying Saddam Hussein! I know that this administration is trying to convince the public that there is a connection between Iraq and Al Qaida, but wow! Or maybe he just doesn’t realize that we have captured Saddam?!

Zell Miller –
OK, this man was their keynote speaker and he ranted and raved with hate-filled rhetoric and out-and-out lies and then when someone asked him to clarify his speech, he challenged them to a duel!! I know that this man was the talk of the night, but the next day, there was no mention of him whatsoever in the local (Las Vegas) newspaper!

The conservatives go on about “liberal media” but I wish I could find any media that wasn’t so ultra conservative that it makes my skin crawl!
