The Prosecution of George W. Bush For Murder

It's a joke, right?

Some sort of Left-Wing propagandist fantasy?

Ah--no.

The author of the book "The Prosecution of George W. Bush For Murder" happens to be Vincent Bugliosi, a very famous prosecutor-- in fact he's the prosecutor who put Charlie Manson away.

He's got a very long and distinguished record as a lawyer and prosecutor; Bugliosi successfully prosecuted 105 out of 106 felony jury trials, including 21 murder convictions without a single loss.

He also happens to be the author of the classic best-selling true crime book “Helter Skelter” .

He wrote best-sellers on the Kennedy Assassination, and the O.J. Simspon Trial.

So why is this renowned writer's work suddenly blacklisted from the media? He has the Cred. He has the contacts, and a track record. But he's made the mistake of laying out a case in which George W. Bush can indeed, be prosecuted for murder. How?

Michigan Republicans plan to foreclose African American voters

' "We will have a list of foreclosed homes and will make sure people aren't voting from those addresses," party chairman James Carabelli told Michigan Messenger in a telephone interview earlier this week. He said the local party wanted to make sure that proper electoral procedures were followed.'

Uhmmm.. Isn't this illegal? It sure as HELL is unethical! Click the above link to read the whole article. Grrr.

Is America Intellectually Constipated?

I think so.

We have a lot of people in this country who are fighting so hard against any sort of progress. We, as Americans, have become extremely adept at doing a collective impression of the three monkeys-- we don't want to see, we don't want to hear, we don't want to speak about it; we don't want to HAVE to think.

Some of our people just don't want to have to adjust their brainspace-- we just don't want to make room for a new paradigm.

This mentality, reminds me of the child who is afraid to --well... proceed with the needful clearing out of the waste brought on by the sheer unwillingness to pay attention to some of the basic things in life that are crucial to survival, for fear that the .. ahem... process will be painful.

Is it possible that we might learn to embrace change as a positive thing?

Maybe it's time to relax and move to the future?

From The Nation:

I thought this article was very enlightening; being that it shows what happens when one decides to vote on ISSUES, rather than partisan political dogma. I have always said that actual classic Conservatives had to be cringing at the perversion of their ideals by the Neo-Cons who have taken over their party. This article give a bit of insight into why there may be more and more Republicans for Obama!

Welcome, one and all!

FROM THE NATION

A Republican For Obama

posted by John Nichols on 08/26/2008 @ 01:09am

DENVER – On a night when the wife of the presumptive Democratic nominee for president would take the stage of the Democratic National Convention following an address by the most revered elder-statesman of the party, it would be hard to imagine how a former congressman from eastern Iowa would even get notice – let alone high marks as one of the most important speeches of the night.

Unless, of course, the former congressman was a Republican.

So there was Jim Leach, former diplomat, friend of the Bush family and long-time Republican congressman from Iowa City, enjoying the enthusiastic response of thousands of Democrats on the same night that Michelle Obama and Ted Kennedy headlined the convention that on Thursday will nominate Barack Obama for president.

And he was saying things that made Democrats swoon.

"As a Republican, I stand before you with deep respect for the history and traditions of my political party. But it is clear to all Americans that something is out of kilter in our great republic. In less than a decade America's political and economic standing in the world has been diminished. Our nation's extraordinary leadership in so many areas is simply not reflected in the partisan bickering and ideological politics of Washington. Seldom has the case for an inspiring new political ethic been more compelling. And seldom has an emerging leader so matched the needs of the moment," began the man who will head the Democratic nominee's aggressive "Republicans for Obama" campaign in the fall.

"The platform of this transformative figure is a call for change," Leach continued. "The change Barack Obama is advocating is far more than a break with today's politics. It is a clarion call for renewal rooted in time-tested American values that tap Republican, as well as Democratic traditions."

While Ted Kennedy compared Obama with John Kennedy, Leach referenced Republican icons such as Abraham Lincoln, Teddy Roosevelt and Dwight Eisenhower.

Though Leach's address was historical in nature, even scholarly, it the note for delegates who understand the difficult challenges that lie ahead in the 2008 presidential race.

"I thought Leach, in a tough spot, did remarkably well," said Tom Loftus, the veteran Democratic pol who served as U.S. ambassador to Norway during the Clinton years. "The history, the historical references, I think that really resonates with people. A credible voice of the Republican Party saying, ‘Look, the Republican party has lost touch with Republican values."

Perhaps even more meaningful was the suggestion that the choice in November will be between partisanship and patriotism.

"This is not a time for politics as usual or for run-of-the-mill politicians. Little is riskier to the national interest than more of the same. America needs new ideas, new energy and a new generation of leadership," explained Leach, in remarks that may have been addressed to wavering Republicans and independents but that warmed the hearts of Democrats. "Hence, I stand before you proud of my party's contributions to American history but, as a citizen, proud as well of the good judgment of good people in this good party, in nominating a transcending candidate, an individual whom I am convinced will recapture the American dream and be a truly great president: the senator from Abraham Lincoln's state-Barack Obama."

Can this idiot embarrass this country any more? No? Oh, well wait 'till you read this...

Just when you thought W. couldn't make the United States look any worse on the world stage, he goes and does this.

Goodbye from the world's biggest polluter

Sigh.

Ralph, Ralph...

On seeing this article in which Ralph Nader comments that Barack Obama “tries to talk White”, and that the reason for his success is because of White guilt... well, I not only had to comment, but I sent a letter to Mr. Nader, as well.

Obama using 'white guilt,' Nader says:

http://www.cnn.com/2008/POLITICS/06/25/nader.obama/index.html?section=cnn_latest

My Letter:

Mr. Nader;

You were one of my mother's great heroes, as you were mine as I was growing up.

But your statements regarding Senator Obama -- Well, I find them simply repugnant. I'm writing you as a Black woman who *is* articulate (and has often been accused by both Whites and Blacks as 'trying to talk White' because of that) and who also has 10 White roommates who are also voting for Obama (and, by the way-- not out of White guilt).

Please apologize-- not only to Obama, but also to the millions of Black People you have just insulted--including all of the Black educators past and present, who have have worked tirelessly to get our people to speak English properly, so that we too, through hard work and effort, and education, have a chance to realize the American Dream.

Being Black is *NOT* about being inarticulate.

My Vote's for Obama (if I could vote) ...by Michael Moore

Friends,

I don't get to vote for President this primary season. I live in Michigan. The party leaders (both here and in D.C.) couldn't get their act together, and thus our votes will not be counted.

So, if you live in Pennsylvania, can you do me a favor? Will you please cast my vote -- and yours -- on Tuesday for Senator Barack Obama?

I haven't spoken publicly 'til now as to who I would vote for, primarily for two reasons: 1) Who cares?; and 2) I (and most people I know) don't give a rat's ass whose name is on the ballot in November, as long as there's a picture of JFK and FDR riding a donkey at the top of the ballot, and the word "Democratic" next to the candidate's name.
