I believe the upside down book thing was a gag -- I saw that on Snopes I think. The 9/11 response sadly was NOT a gag, Bush was never up to the job but the fact is now he´s just freaking LOSING IT. He´s def either drinking or on drugs. The change in his speech patterns and demeanor are startling. |

Anomalous Howard 12/08/2005 10:18 AM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | "Please," Bush whimpers, his lips pursed in mock desperation, "don´t kill me." --Talk Magazine Republican presidential candidate George W. Bush is portrayed in his Talk Magazine interview as ridiculing pickax killer Karla Faye Tucker of Houston for an interview she did with CNN broadcaster Larry King shortly before she was executed last year. "`Please,´ Bush whimpers, his lips pursed in mock desperation, `don´t kill me.´" In fact, during that Larry King-Faye Tucker exchange, Tucker NEVER asked to be spared. It must be said that George W. Bush is not responsible for the increased pace of executions, nor did he create Texas´ arcane clemency procedures. But it cannot be denied that Bush has steadfastly opposed changing the clemency procedures in the face of stinging criticism by the courts. Bush has even opposed simple safeguards like holding open meetings. The Texas governor has vetoed legislation which would have provided funding for basic indigent defense. He called that bill, which had bipartisan support, "a threat to public safety." Bush also opposed legislation instituting life without parole and banning the execution of people with IQ´s less than 65. In general, he has been a leading spokesperson in favor of the death penalty. As of 7:30pm EDT, December 7, 2000, 152 people have been executed during Bush´s tenure as governor. This makes Texas Governor George W. Bush the most-killing Governor, in the history of the United States of America. A demonstrator portrays G.W. Bush, Serial Killer, pleading for help during the Unity 2000 rally at the Republican National Convention. Under the leadership of George W. Bush, Texas continues to rank dead last in virtually every social service area, yet first in executions. Texas has some of the poorest funded programs to help the mentally ill (who account for a good number of the prison population). Bush´s response to this dead last ranking was to insist that the legislature pass a $5 billion tax cut. Bush has been steadfast in his refusal to recognize the significance of international treaty law, specifically the right of foreign nationals facing the death penalty to receive notification of their right to consular assistance. Texas has the second-largest death row population of foreign citizens in the USA (after California). None of these individuals were informed upon arrest of their right to consular assistance, as guaranteed under the Vienna Convention on Consular Relations. Even a personal intervention by the US Secretary of State (in the Faulder case) was ignored by Bush, undermining the viability of international law, outraging nations allied to the USA and endangering the human rights of detained foreigners everywhere, including American citizens arrested abroad. Texas´ criminal justice system as a whole is undoubtedly one of the worst in the nation. This is pointed out so clearly in the September 1999 issue of Harper´s, in the Index: "Number of death sentences upheld by Texas courts since 1990 for men whose lawyers slept during their trials: 3" In a 1998 report entitled "Lethal Injustice", Amnesty International stated that "at every step in the death penalty process in Texas, a litany of grossly inadequate legal procedures fail to meet recognized minimum international standards for the protection of human rights." A more recent article entitled "Death In Texas", in the July, 1999 edition of The Champion, Stephen B. Bright, Director of the Southern Center for Human Rights, details how the Texas Court of Criminal Appeals runs the fastest assembly line to the death chamber in the country. Even more recently, two Texas agencies released reports on the practice of the death penalty in Texas. The Texas Defender Service Report, "A State of Denial: Texas Justice and the Death Penalty," can be downloaded by going to their web page and clicking on "Links and Resources." Also, The Texas Civil Rights Project issued an 87-page report on the death penalty in Texas. Check out "The Death Penalty in Texas: Due Process and Equal Justice or Rush to Execution, Regardless of Innocence." George W. Bush´s record on all of the above issues must be made a major campaign issue [link to www.cuadp.org] |

Anonymous Coward 12/08/2005 10:18 AM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | How many of y´all read about the voter registration organization in Nevada that was throwing away the Democratic registration applications? How much more brazen and shameless can these people get? Four years ago when Democrats went to court to try to get the Florida absentee ballots thrown out in those counties where Republicans but not Democrats had been allowed to fix the absentee ballot applications, when the Democrats lost that case, they just dropped it. Y´know what I thought they should do and hoped they would do? THEY SHOULD HAVE PROSECUTED THOSE REPUBLICAN COUNTY OFFICIALS WHO ALLOWED THAT FRAUD TO TAKE PLACE! Even though those Republicans got away with their shenanigans insofar as they helped to get their candidate fraudulently "elected," THEY STILL SHOULD HAVE BEEN HELD ACCOUNTABLE FOR IT TO THE FULLEST EXTENT OF THE LAW. This year, THIS IS WHAT WE´VE GOT TO DO! If their disgusting shenanigans get Bush "elected" to a second term, WE´VE GOT TO MAKE THEM PAY FOR IT BY HOLDING THEM LEGALLY ACCOUNTABLE FOR THOSE SHENANIGANS. So that instead of getting plum jobs in a second Bush administration, they go to jail, or they get ruined economically with legal costs and lawyers´ fees defending themselves in court against criminal and civil charges. So that in the future, anybody who tries to pull shenanigans like these will think twice before doing so. Four years ago, we let them get away with it. NONE of them had to face ANY consequences. Kathryn Harris got a seat in the House of Representatives, Jeb got a second term, lots of others got plum jobs in the Bush administration ... and because they found out then that they can get away with it and even get REWARDED for it, they´re getting even more shameless and brazen this time around. They´ll keep doing it as long as they are getting away with it, and the only way to stop it is to MAKE SURE THAT THEY ALWAYS FACE THE CONSEQUENCES. It´s happening right here and right now in the United States of America, folks. And it´s even happening out in the open, where anybody with a brain and a pair of functioning eyes and ears can see clearly that it´s happening. It´s widespread election fraud, ballot tampering, voter suppression, voter intimidation, rigging of election machinery, election officials with obvious conflicts of interest ... and I´ve even heard REPUBLICANS claim with a straight face that DEMOCRATS are trying to steal elections, and yet whenever there is some sort of an election anomaly, it seems like it ALWAYS favors the REPUBLICAN candidate, which is like tossing a coin and it coming up heads every single time ... |

Anonymous Coward 12/08/2005 10:18 AM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | Kerry "Bush will have to answer directly tonight" Democratic presidential candidate John Kerry (news - web sites) accused the Bush administration of "callous disregard" for America´s unemployed after a cabinet member reportedly dismissed the net loss of jobs as "myths." "Claims like the one that Bush will be the first president to end a term with fewer jobs than when he started are nothing more than ´myths,´ Snow claimed," wrote the 24,000-circulation Findlay Courier. Snow said he was misquoted. But as Kerry prepared for his third and final debate with Bush later Wednesday, with the focus on domestic issues, the Democrats went into overdrive with a flurry of reactions to Snow´s reported statement and a planned television advertisement. "These comments reflect the callous disregard this administration has shown for the millions of people who are out of work and seen their quality of life suffer over the last four years," Kerry said. "It reflects the degree to which the White House tries to spin its way out of the problems facing working America when it should be focusing on solutions," the Massachusetts senator said in a statement. "President Bush will have to answer directly tonight for this outrageous slap in the face to America´s middle class. He´ll also have to answer for the worst jobs record since Herbert Hoover" more than 70 years ago [link to story.news.yahoo.com] |
