THE THINKING SPOT

Okay - Kerry has appologized for a messup, how about if Bush appologizes because what Bush has done has not just offended but has killed - how many human beings? Isn't it sad that something like what Kerry said is the only thing the Republicans can get hold of and how long can they hold on to it? Remember the "Bring 'em on" by Bush? We should call upon all republicans to ask Bush to immediately apologize for putting our soldiers in harms way and taunting the opposition to kill them and kill them they did - 3000 of our finest.

ALERT #1

YOUR land is being stolen by the government and used to secure loans the government really had no business taking out in the first place. Given that the government cannot get out of debt, and is collateralizing more and more land to avoid foreclosure, the day is not long off when the people of the United States will one day wake up and discover they are no longer citizens, but tenants.

ALERT #2

Olmert to discuss Iran with Bush --- Even though Bush has only two more years of his presidency left, he can still inflict a world of hurt, both domestically and internationally.

Okay, This is the Third Tabloid Cover in a Couple of Months Blaring a Potential Bush Divorce and that George is Hitting the Bottle Again. Laugh, if You Will, But the Mainstream Media Reported on These Type of Stories When Clinton Was in Office. And They are Read in the Red States with Vigor. So When the Saddam Sentencing Diversion Comes, Remember This Cover.

Kerry's Finest Moment. In a News Conference, He Laid Out the Repulsive Truth About the Republican Slander Machine that Manipulates Minds and Emotions. Don't Fear the GOP Attack. It's a Decisive Moment of Truth. The Apology Owed is Bush's for the Deaths of Nearly 3,000 GIs, Tens of Thousands of Iraqis, Grieving Families, And Hundreds of Billions of Dollars Wasted. For That We Are All Owed An Apology from Bush.

Snake Oil and the Midterm Elections --- Of 22 Democratic candidates in tight races or running in open districts across the U.S., all but one was handpicked by the chair of the Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee, Rep.

(neither party truly represents solid, humane interests, so I need to figure out what to do about it - any suggestions?)
