Blackwater Founder Implicated in Murder

His right hand to God, his left hand in the tax payer's pocket. Let's hope that they are able to make these charges stick and this menace to our nation's sovereignty is taken out for good. The fact that the Obama administration's State Dept. still uses Blackwater (renamed Xe, for obvious PR reasons) points up the lack any real change in this new administration. reminds me of a rant Bill Hicks gave once on democrats vs. republicans (two sock puppets controlled by one individual) "I like the sock puppet on the left.... no I like the sock puppet on the right" ... sheesh.

Any way this article is an eye opening read....

Bush's Buddy get a break ... what American Heroes

Two months left to go ... this may just be the beginning
On the latest pardon list were:

_Leslie Owen Collier of Charleston, Mo. She was convicted for unauthorized use of a pesticide and violating the Bald and Golden Eagle Protection Act.

_Milton Kirk Cordes of Rapid City, S.D. Cordes was convicted of conspiracy to violate the Lacey Act, which prohibits importation into the country of wildlife taken in violation of conservation laws.

_Richard Micheal Culpepper of Mahomet, Ill., who was convicted of making false statements to the federal government.

_Brenda Jean Dolenz-Helmer of Fort Worth, Texas, for reporting or helping cover up a crime.

_Andrew Foster Harley of Falls Church, Va. Harley was convicted of wrongful use and distribution of marijuana and cocaine.

_Obie Gene Helton of Rossville, Ga., whose offense was unauthorized acquisition of food stamps.

Bush also commuted the prison sentences of John Edward Forte of North Brunswick, N.J., and James Russell Harris of Detroit, Mich. Both were convicted of cocaine offenses.

Under the Constitution, the president's power to issue pardons is absolute and cannot be overruled.

Some sad truth

The nonpartisan Tax Policy Center: "Both John McCain and Barack Obama have proposed tax plans that would substantially increase the national debt over the next 10 years." The analysis goes on to say: "Neither candidate's plan would significantly increase economic growth unless offset by spending cuts or tax increases that the campaigns have not specified."

I am hoping for the best

McCain unfit to serve due to VP choice (if nothing else)

It really completely shows the level of incompetence of McCain that he had not vetted his VP choice better

Joe "the plumber" six-pack fake christian

"Joe the Plumber" (sic) may run a plumbing business but he is not a licensed plumber. His full name is Samuel J. Wurzelbacher. And he owes a bit in back taxes." NY Times Oct. 16, 2008

Joe’s not really qualified to be a plumber?

No problem for the McCain decision process.

Mrs. Palin isn’t really qualified to be VP of the US, either.

The premise of his question to Mr. Obama about taxes may also be flawed, according to actual non-partisan tax analysts.

Okay, This guy really pisses me off. He is pretending to be undecided and then you listen to this interview and discover that he is a conservative yahoo wth the same fake christian values as Sarah Pallin and all the other nonspiritual Crusaders. He is using that same conservative criterion of calling anyone that criticizes they way America is under the most inept leadership in our time (W ... etc.) with being unpatriotic. I am so sick of that line of thinking.

We are criticizing America in this way because we are unsatisfied with the stupidity of the War and the mishandling of the economy. No one likes taxes, but everyone needs to pay them to support our infrastructure. I personally am not in favor of privatizing the fire dept., for example. This guy hates Social Security and yet is willing to throw 700 thousand million dollars at this foreign land rather than support his own children's future. This sort of fake christian we don't need in our country. Go back to Poland or where ever your unfortunate ill bred relatives came from. We want our America back from the likes of you. Fake moderate.
