http://www.blogit.com/Blogs/Blog.aspx/spyinthesky6/60% of Americans didn't vote in the last election. Most Americans don't think it matters which politician wins office. Given a choice of an informative and important TV show like NOW with Bill Moyers or a sit-com or another cop show on TV, the overwhelming majority would opt for TV-lite. The result is a government that is not responsive to or the needs or wants of the American people. Citizenship is more than an occasional vote. hourly12000-01-01T12:00+00:00http://www.blogit.com/Blogs/Blog.aspx/spyinthesky6/113982The secrecy of the George W. Bush White House is a threat to our democracy. So says John Dean, the former counsel to Richard Nixon, who was indicted and jailed for the Watergate conspiracy. As one who should know, Dean says that Bush's secrecy and crimes are worse than Nixon's. Dean includes VP...http://www.blogit.com/Blogs/Blog.aspx/spyinthesky6/112131Despite the enormous superiority of the Democratic candidate in intellect, integrity and industriosness and despite the fact that the Democratic program addresses the needs of the vast majority of Americans, while the Republicans continue to cater to the greediest interests of the very rich few,...http://www.blogit.com/Blogs/Blog.aspx/spyinthesky6/110794In an act of incredible crassness and bad taste, President Bush made jokes about WMDs, which were his ostensible reason for going to war in Iraq, while three more soldiers died there, bringing the total to 585 since the war began. Imagine that you are the family who has lost a son or daughter, a...http://www.blogit.com/Blogs/Blog.aspx/spyinthesky6/109846Of all the follies, blunders and venalities committed by the Bush administration, the one that should concern most Americans is what they have done to wreck your financial security. They have done this a number of ways as enumerated below. The unnecessary war in Iraq has cost America nearly 600...http://www.blogit.com/Blogs/Blog.aspx/spyinthesky6/107552For a guy who was never elected to the presidency in the first place and for a guy who professed to be "uniter, not a divider," and for a guy who said that he would be a "compassionate conservative," all we've gotten from George W. Bush has been policies geared to the enriching the rich and...http://www.blogit.com/Blogs/Blog.aspx/spyinthesky6/105546Everything the Bush administration has done has been calculated to make the rich - richer in America. Most of the tax cuts went to the richest 5% of Americans. Rich corporations are allowed to avoid and evade taxation while the Bush administrations winks and nods as they set up a mailbox in...http://www.blogit.com/Blogs/Blog.aspx/spyinthesky6/104015How come Martha Stewart can be indicted and convicted of a stock trade where she made $40,000 and perhaps will have to go to jail for 20 years, while Halliburton has admitted to cheating the US government out of millions on gasoline provisioning in Iraq as well as providing meals to American...http://www.blogit.com/Blogs/Blog.aspx/spyinthesky6/97141The US Constitution could not get ratified by the original thirteen colonies without a Bill of Rights, which became the first ten amendments. Our forefathers realized even back then that there were certain rights that were "inalienable." These are rights that every person has and that no majority...http://www.blogit.com/Blogs/Blog.aspx/spyinthesky6/94545Yesterday the Bush administration pulled another "about face" on one of their claims. Even though they had just published a glossy "President's Economic Report" last week that contained the firm projection for 2.6 million new jobs in 2004 and even though it was signed by George W. Bush, himself,...http://www.blogit.com/Blogs/Blog.aspx/spyinthesky6/93298Well the 2004 Presidential campaign is off and running even though it's 9 months early and even though there isn't an official Democratic candidate yet, although it does seem that John Kerry has it all but won. So without much ado, the Republicans have launched their salvos and while I didn't...
