Quote:

"We know that the vice president wrote a note where he starts to write and then crosses out the fact that the president himself asked Mr. Libby to stick his neck into a meat grinder to protect the administration," said Wexler.

The Raw Story | Kucinich: 'We went to war for the oil companies'

Quote:

In March of 2001, when the Bush Administration began to have secret meetings with oil company executives from Exxon, Shell and BP, spreading maps of Iraq oil fields before them, the price of oil was $23.96 per barrel. Then there were 63 companies in 30 countries, other than the US, competing for oil contracts with Iraq," the Ohio Democrat said during a speech on the House floor.

"Today the price of oil is $135.59 per barrel, the US Army is occupying Iraq and the first Iraq oil contracts will go, without competitive bidding to, surprise, (among a very few others) Exxon, Shell and BP."

To pay for the war that has been going on and the domestic spending we have been spending alot more money than we have. So what do we do?
We send the bills over to the Federal Reserve. They create new money. In the last 3 years our goverment through the Federal Reserve and the banking system created 4 trillion dollars of new money. That is one of the main reason why we have this high cost of energy.

On Monday evening, Rep. Dennis Kucinich (D-OH) took to the floor of the House of Representatives to read out 35 articles of impeachment against President George W. Bush in an almost five-hour marathon. Kucinich's action made an immediate splash on the Internet, but the mainstream media were far more reticent in their coverage.

Maybe the reason the media didn't say **** because they didn't want the public to think they were a bunch of loons for giving credence to a loon.The only thing Dennis Kucinich has going for him is his young attractive red headed wife.

Kucinich to bring single article of impeachment for misleading US into war

Quote:

Few in the House of Representatives have any intention of doing anything with the last 35 articles of impeachment Kucinich set before them last month, so the former presidential candidate appears to be lightening the load.

Eager to Tap Iraq's Oil, Industry Execs Suggested Military Intervention

Quote:

Two years before the invasion of Iraq, oil executives and foreign policy advisers told the Bush administration that the United States would remain “a prisoner of its energy dilemma” as long as Saddam Hussein was in power.

Will Halliburton Clean Up? The company that Dick Cheney once ran stands to make millions rebuilding Iraq. - April 14, 2003

Quote:

The liberation of Iraq couldn't come at a better time for Halliburton, whose business has been dogged by a host of troubles--from a slowdown in domestic oil production to nightmare asbestos litigation. Last year revenues declined 6%, to $12.6 billion, and the company reported a net loss of $984 million. But CEO Dave Lesar, who took over when his predecessor Dick Cheney went to Washington, is starting to put Halliburton's problems behind it.

Senate bill would restrict Bush from secret executive orders
The Raw Story | Senate bill would restrict Bush from secret executive orders
The President will no longer be able to change published executive orders in secret if a bill introduced to the Senate Thursday becomes law.

Digger Heartland types,

Quote:

Congress is still controlled by Republicans.

You see even if the Dems in Congress pass a bill, Bush can veto it, then it goes back to Congress & they can only overturn the veto if the Republicans vote for it.

The DOJ is also run by Republicans, so they do not enforce the law.

And also the Republicans in Congress do everything possible to block, smear, & release propaganda disinformation to stop anything the Democrats try to do.

Don't blame the problems that we have that were created by the Republicans on the Dems, because the Dems are powerless. But, if they get enough seats in Nov &/or the Executive Branch too, then things can happen to roll back some of this extreme right wing legislation. If they have the power & don't do that, then you can blame them to your heart's content.

Is it really that F'd up?

West Hollywood votes to impeach Bush and Cheney - Council resolution cites abuses of power and other misdeeds. Some residents say they should have been consulted first. - Los Angeles Times

West Hollywood votes to impeach Bush and Cheney - Council resolution cites abuses of power and other misdeeds. Some residents say they should have been consulted first.

Quote:

The White House is more than 2,600 miles from West Hollywood, a distance emblematic of how far left the progressive city is compared with elected leaders running the nation on Pennsylvania Avenue.

Last week the distance came into focus as West Hollywood officials made their city the first in Southern California to pass a resolution calling for the impeachment of President Bush and Vice President Dick Cheney.

West Hollywood was the 80th city or township in the nation to pass such a declaration, following similar actions in Michigan, Ohio and Vermont as well as six cities in Northern California, including Arcada and Eureka.

Dang.. 80 Cities.
