Republicans For Satan!

from All Headline News

We have invaded the Republican Party deeper than ever. We now have porn stars dining with the President himself.

Douglas Maher - All Headline News Staff Reporter

Washington D.C. (AHN)- A Republican fundraiser with the President of The United States is probably the last place you would expect to find a porn star to be sitting, but adult film star Mary Carey was right there amongst the herd of GOP elephants.

After attending Tuesday night’s dinner, Carey came clean with her commitment to the Grand Ole Party.

She says, “I met a lot of nice people, I met some people who talked about helping me on my next campaign. I thought everyone would be stuck up and no one was going to like me. Instead, everyone loved me, got drunk and took pictures with me. So I want to keep going to Republican events. I’m a fully converted Republican now.”

How much money does the adult industry donate to the Republicans?

This hasn’t played well with all Republicans to say the least. The party that is based on traditional conservative pro-family values has its detractors.

Traditional conservative values?

Rev. Donald Wildmon of the American Family Association says, “I’ve sent three E-mails to [GOP Chairman] Ken Mehlman saying, ‘Hey, give us some kind of explanation here. I think I’d be more interested in getting votes, rather than raising money.”

Votes don’t count. Money does.

Prior to the party fundraiser, Carey also said, “I’m especially looking forward to meeting Karl Rove. Smart men like him are so sexy. I know that he’s against gay marriage, but I think I can convince him that a little girl-on-girl action now and then isn’t so bad!”

She says she reads the Bible and prays daily.

How much praying can you get in between porn shoots? And is this before or after the blowjob scene?

Worse Than Watergate: The Secret Presidency of George W. Bush by John W. Dean

“Nothing about George W. Bush struck me as secretive, dangerous, or the slightest bit Nixonian when he first ambled onto the national political scene…”

The most facile presidential comparison one could make for George W. Bush would be his father, who presided over a war in Iraq and a struggling economy. Some “neocons” reject the parallel and compare Bush to his father’s predecessor, Ronald Reagan, citing a plainspoken quality and a belief in deep tax cuts. But John Dean goes further back, seeing in Bush all the secrecy and scandal of Dean’s former boss, the notorious Richard Nixon. The difference, as the title of Dean’s book indicates, is that Bush is a heck of a lot worse. While the book provides insightful snippets of the way Nixon used to do business, it offers them to shed light on the practices of Bush.

Have you read this yet? Worse than Watergate?

In Dean’s estimation, the secrecy with which Bush and Dick Cheney govern is not merely a preferred system of management but an obsessive strategy meant to conceal a deeply troubling agenda of corporate favoritism and a dramatic growth in unchecked power for the executive branch that put at risk the lives of American citizens, civil liberties, and the Constitution. Dean sets out to make his point by drawing attention to several areas about which Bush and Cheney have been tight-lipped: the revealing by a “senior White House official” of the identity of an undercover CIA operative whose husband questioned the administration, the health of Cheney, the identity of Cheney’s energy task force, the information requested by the bi-partisan 9/11 commission, Bush’s business dealings early in his career, the creation of a “shadow government”, wartime prisoners held at Guantanamo Bay, and scores more. He theorizes that the truth about these and many other situations, including the decision to go to war in Iraq, will eventually surface and that Bush and Cheney’s secrecy is a thus far effective means of keep a lid on a rapidly multiplying set of lies and scandals that far outstrip the misdeeds that led directly to Dean’s former employer resigning in disgrace. Dean’s charges are impassioned and more severe than many of Bush’s most persistent critics. But those charges are realized only after careful reasoning and steady logic by a man who knows his way around scandal and corruption.

Do you think it is cool for the President of the United States to be “autographing” American flags? As in, sign his name like a rock star on the flag he is so diligently trying to protect?

A little over a month ago, at a Republican political rally in Livonia, Michigan, George W. Bush signed his name as an autograph on the American flag. He did so not just once, but with several flags brought by his conservative fans solely for that purpose.

The funny thing is that George W. Bush has openly supported efforts by the Republican Congress to pass an amendment to the Constitution that would outlaw not just flag burning, but any “physical desecration” of the American flag.

This is where I start to get confused. You see, when I look up the meaning of “desecrate” (the root word of “desecration”), I find that to desecrate means to do damage to something that is sacred in such a way that reduces the religious nature of it. So, in order for the “desecration” of the American flag to even be possible, it must first be ordained as sacred. Thus, we see that an amendment to the Constitution forbidding the “desecration” of the American flag actually establishes an official governmentally-sponsored religious worship of the flag.

Who does this cowboy think he is?

This is flag desecration and should not be allowed.

Conflicting witness testimony did not determine verdict

Guilty verdicts were returned Wednesday against all five defendants in a month-old vote fraud trial that saw a prosecutor who had been chewed out by the judge emerge victorious.

Assistant U.S. Attorney Mike Carr was pressed for a comment after the verdicts, paused and thought for a moment.

“Wyatt Eisenhauer. That’s his name. The soldier from Pinckneyville,” was all Carr would say.

Carr’s closing argument to jurors was inspired by his chance encounter recently with Eisenhauer’s funeral procession. He compared a soldier’s duties to risks taken by his two key undercover witnesses, Dannita Youngblood and Rudy McIntosh.

Throughout the trial, conflicting statements from these two witnesses became a key issue for defense attorneys and the trial judge. U.S. District Judge G. Patrick Murphy commented outside the presence of the jury that he didn’t believe their testimony.

At one point Murphy sharply upbraided Carr for misleading him four times about testimony, an allegation the prosecutor vehemently denied.

The jury convicted all five defendants on every count after deliberating 5 1/2 hours Wednesday.

“This is a wake-up call,” said 23-year-old juror Lamont Reed Jr., who added that as a longtime East St. Louis resident he has always seen “some sort of corruption around the city.”

Corruption is everywhere, especially in politics and voting.

But despite Carr’s praise of Youngblood and McIntosh, jurors said they based their verdicts on undercover audio tapes.

“It was the recordings. That was it,” said juror Delores J. Schnur of Alton.

And the jury foreman, Marla M. Wagner of Glen Carbon, said, “We came to our conclusion from the tapes.”

U.S. Attorney Ron Tenpas later hailed the guilty verdicts.

“I do hope that this communicates what we think every prosecution should communicate, which is ‘violate federal law and we will investigate vigorously, we will prosecute thoroughly and we will investigate voting irregularities,’” he said.

Damnit, it’s always the tapes… the tapes…

To secure the people’s right to acknowledge God according to the dictates of conscience: Neither the United States nor any State shall establish any official religion, but the people’s right to pray and to recognize their religious beliefs, heritage, or traditions on public property, including schools, shall not be infringed.

Neither the United States nor any State shall require any person to join in prayer or other religious activity, prescribe school prayers, discriminate against religion, or deny equal access to a benefit on account of religion.”

As mentioned previously:

These things have to be pushed to please the Religious Right (who donate most of the politcal capital used by politicians) - it won’t pass but it’s done just to please them.

Just like the fight on abortion. Never going to end, but they constantly push it and use it to separate the masses and keep the conflict alive.

Looks like Karl Rove has shown us once again how Bush and his crew plan on handling things.

Karl Rove Named As Source Of CIA Name Leak

So,… when will he be tried for treason?

Karl Rove has commited an act that has landed others in prison. Karl Rove has commited treason.

Cooper Documents Reveal Karl Rove as CIA Leak

Now that Time Inc. has turned over documents to federal court, presumably revealing who its reporter, Matt Cooper, identified as his source in the Valerie Plame/CIA case, speculation runs rampant on the name of that source, and what might happen to him or her. Friday night, on the syndicated McLaughlin Group political talk show, Lawrence O’Donnell, senior MSNBC political analyst, claimed to know that name–and it is, according to him, top White House mastermind Karl Rove.

Today, O’Donnell went further, writing a brief entry at the Huffington Post blog:

“I revealed in yesterday’s taping of the McLaughlin Group that Time magazine’s e-mails will reveal that Karl Rove was Matt Cooper’s source. I have known this for months but didn’t want to say it at a time that would risk me getting dragged into the grand jury.

“McLaughlin is seen in some markets on Friday night, so some websites have picked it up, including Drudge, but I don’t expect it to have much impact because McLaughlin is not considered a news show and it will be pre-empted in the big markets on Sunday because of tennis.

“Since I revealed the big scoop, I have had it reconfirmed by yet another highly authoritative source. Too many people know this. It should break wide open this week. I know Newsweek is working on an ‘It’s Rove!’ story and will probably break it tomorrow.”

This news should be spread. Karl Rove needs to answer for this.

Schumer Demands Karl Rove Speak Up

Sen. Charles Schumer, D-NY, called Sunday for Deputy White House Chief of Staff Karl Rove to personally deny leaking the name of a CIA official.

Saturday, Rove’s lawyer, Robert Luskin told The Washington Post Rove had not disclosed the name of Valerie Plame to Newsweek in a 2003 interview.

Sunday, Schumer, who led the push for a Congressional inquiry into the leak, issued a challenge for Rove to speak for himself.

“We’ve heard it from his lawyer, but it would be nice to hear it directly from Mr. Rove that he didn’t leak the identity of Valerie Plame, and that he didn’t direct anyone else to do such a dastardly thing,” Schumer said in a statement. “I have said from the first day … whoever leaked the classified information should be punished to the full extent of the law.”

The full extent of the law.

The Ku Klux Klan is a terrorist organization that exists within the United States of America and abroad.

Sen. Robert C. Byrd Laments KKK Connection

Sen. Robert C. Byrd’s new memoir reveals both his encyclopedic knowledge of political history and the unlikely inspiration that helped launch his own political career: A Grand Dragon of the Ku Klux Klan.

Not only was he in the Ku Klux Klan, he was Grand Dragon. Pretty big role.

It was a Klan leader who motivated the young Byrd during his short-lived tenure in the racist organization _ something he writes was “an extraordinarily foolish mistake” that has haunted him for 40 years.

A foolish mistake would be “attending” a rally or two. But Byrd, became the Grand Dragon, that was no mistake or bad judgement. You have to go through years of training and tests before you can become that deeply involved in the terrorist group known as the “KKK.”

“It has emerged throughout my life to haunt and embarrass me, and has taught me in a very graphic way what one major mistake can do to one’s life, career and reputation,” the West Virginia Democrat says in an autobiography being released Monday. “I displayed very bad judgment, due to immaturity and a lack of seasoned reasoning.”

Byrd is a racist. Byrd was and most likely still is a member of terrorist group, the KKK.

t’s a mistake he has paid for time and again, the only significant scandal ever attached to a man who grew up in Wolf Creek Hollow and who next June stands to become the longest-serving senator in U.S. history.

Even now, with the 2006 election more than 18 months away, Republicans are using it in their campaign to oust him. Byrd has not declared whether he will run again, and his book gives no hints.

America always has the finest in office. Our “longest” serving Senator, also served as GRAND DRAGON in the Ku Klux Klan. What a great guy.

“Robert C. Byrd: Child of the Appalachian Coalfields” chronicles his 87 years, from boyhood to his re-election in 2000. But at 770 pages, the $35 paperback from West Virginia University Press is more weighty tome than light reading.

It portrays a man who is religious, socially conservative, respectful and respected _ a man for whom a promise is an unbreakable bond. But it is more the chronology of a career than the story of a man, dispassionately detailing virtually every federal dollar brought to West Virginia.

“religious, and socially conservative” is a republican way of saying racist and “our guy.”

I wonder if Byrd still has his white robe?

From VOA News

The Republican leader in the U.S. Senate has scheduled a new vote on President Bush’s nominee for U.S. ambassador to the United Nations, John Bolton.

Senator Bill Frist says he will call a vote Monday to officially end debate on Mr. Bolton’s nomination and allow a confirmation vote.

Senate Democrats blocked attempts to hold a confirmation vote last month. They say they are concerned about allegations Mr. Bolton mistreated employees and sought to shape intelligence for political reasons in his current post as top State Department arms control official.

The Bush administration says Mr. Bolton is a good candidate as U.N. ambassador, and the need for U.N. reform, plus issues like the upcoming elections in Iraq, make it essential that he be confirmed quickly.

Remember John Bolton’s quote:

“There is no such thing as the United Nations. There is an international community that occasionally can be led by the only real power left in the world, the United States.”

And this is the guy to be chosen.
