Bush the Liberal


Terrific article by James Boyne about President Bush: The Greatest Liberal of the Century. Some snippets:

Bush is one of the most liberal Presidents we have ever had.

Liberal with our tax dollars by giving tax breaks to the wealthiest 1% of American taxpayers. Liberal with big Government spending programs by endorsing a military budget of over $350 billion, when there is no more Soviet Union and no more Cold War. Liberal with his big "non existent" programs and policies to solve the health care crisis that serves to perpetuate the trillion dollar health care system of waste, fraud and deceit and its accompanying suffering and needless dying. Liberal with his "let it be" attitude with regard to big corporation fraud and corruption.

And now, he is liberally giving $15 billion of our tax dollars away to the continent of Africa, when here in America we have millions of unemployed, millions of homeless, millions upon million without any health coverage of any kind, and millions of children who cant get a decent education. Bush is liberally spending $4 billion a month to build up a country we just spent $70 billion to destroy---and every “conservative Republican” has voted to liberally spend $87 billion dollars of the American taxpayers money.

Why is spending American taxes on needy Americans or on well conceived large American Federal programs so abhorrent to “conservative Republicans”, and yet they continue to liberally throw our money away by the shipload to other ungrateful countries. Must we always first bully and then bribe our way to “friendship” with other nations?

President Bush is a true liberal. He is liberally spending $4 billion a month to provide security to a destitute, poor, third world country, Iraq, that we ourselves destroyed. He is ready to liberally spend $600 billion American dollars in the next several years to rebuild a country where instead of “In God We Trust”, we hear street mobs chanting “Death To America”, ”Death To The Occupiers”, “Death To The Infidels”.

We have been unable to get the water running in Iraq, or the electricity, much less the oil.
And back here in America Bush is liberally letting our electrical infrastructure deteriorate; letting gas prices reach inflationary, price gouging rates due to a liberal energy policy of “money, money, money for all Republican, big corporate special energy interests.

I call upon all true conservatives, and conservative Republicans to support Rep. Dennis Kucinich (D-Ohio) in the 2004 election. Rep. Kucinich is a progressive. A populist, and a Democrat. Labels and party affiliations really don’t matter any more. America is in trouble. We need a man with integrity, honesty, common sense, straightforwardness, and intelligence. Rep. Kucinich is just such a man. We need a man who comes from a simple, middle class background who has raised himself up by the bootstraps. We need a man who has known hardship and adversity, and who can relate to common people. Rep. Kucinich is just such a man.

We need a President who can speak. We need a President who can deliver a persuasive, eloquent, inspiring speech without an army of speech writers and speech coaches. We need a President who can speak his mind. One who means what he says and says what he means. The only candidate who comes close to having all this characteristics and qualifications for the job is Rep. Dennis Kucinich (D-Ohio).

There's a whole lot more. Read the article.
