Take Action! Visit this page: http://capwiz.com/pdamerica/utr/1/CANNEFPJHP/HGUWEFOTYL/ George Bush is not curing a "crisis" - he's creating one! But we can fight back. Use the talking points we provide to alert your local media to the President's false and misleading claims about Social Security and the impact of his plan.
[DUCHESS NOTE ... The tidbits below are from Jude, over at Iddybud Blog, who speaks with such clarity every time. Is it any wonder her blog is one of my top favs. Right on girl!]
Democrat Senators Who Voted "Yes" For Gonzales ... Here are your Democratic senators who voted 'yes' to the confirmation of Alberto Gonzales:
(1) Senator Ken Salazar (Colorado)
(2) Senator Joseph Lieberman (Conn.)
(3) Senator Ben Nelson (Neb.)
(4) Senator Mary Landrieu (La.)
(5) Senator Pryor (Ark)
(6) Senator Bill Nelson (Fla.)
I thought you'd like to know which of your Senators compromised on their party's long-held values of respect for the Rule of Law and Human Rights, when political circumstances were such that they never even had to compromise. If they could have voted for this supporter of torture, they would more than likely sell you out in the blink of an eye. [Amen sistah!]
Commentary by Jude from Iddybud
Lies are spread too easily by media. When I went to the Google News headlines page, this headline was the top (World) story: "Rice says Europe ready to move beyond difference with U-S". I went to the article, and found that, for all the hype in the headline, the article was a big "nothing". This is how Americans get fooled into thinking all is well, when in reality, they are being given bad information.
The article with the 'major-headline' (if you can even call it an article) says ... Rice says she's hearing "a desire to move on to the next chapter." Relations were strained over the war -- partly because of comments from Defense Secretary Donald Rumsfeld. He referred to France and Germany -- which opposed the war -- as "old Europe." What an incomplete piece of shite. An almost total absence of factual investigation. And it's a "top story"! A "big headline"! After reading it, I thought about how Condoleeza Rice has lied through the gap in her teeth about the reasons we went to Iraq. I thought about how she scared Americans about the threat of mushroom clouds coming at Saddam's willing and capable hands (another lie). I thought about how Condoleeza Rice has betrayed America. I thought about how she lied for President Bush, who has betrayed America's trust.
I wondered, why the hell would Europeans trust the America that is governed by the Bush administration when most of America no longer trusts them? We tend to forget that our "national interest" is truly interdependent. The Iraq war has severely damaged our own national interest because a Constitutionally sacred trust has been broken by the Bush administration. You really have to think about what you're being fed by the media these days. I wonder if they know they are perpetuating lies, or if they are simply in need of far better journalistic training and guidance?
