Grasping for a Legacy

dry drunk,running our country for eight years, media,congress and our courts kept their heads in the sand,his legacy is already established.

A Bush legacy - deception, denial, delay and duplicity with wealthy corporations. I am so proud of the man.

ROMNEY IS THE REINCARNATION OF BUSH BUT WITH NO COMpASSION.

I noticed you criticized Benson for supporting the JOHN BIRCH SOCIETY. BUT you never criticized him. Benson doctrine is what the MAJORITY of Mormons live by. I would like to see you go to your church and criticize Benson. As mentioned I back my statements up with facts.
There are many reasons Mormons will not come forth even though they know of the corruption in the Mormon church. One is due to their belief in Mormon scripture which they associate with the Mormon church. The leadership has usurped power and authority over this scripture. Thus, the members of the Mormon church think that God expects them to support their misguided leaders. This is much the - rationalization that many Americans make about our government. They all know of the corruption, but rationalize that it is unpatriotic to talk against the government or ungrateful to complain when they enjoy superficial prosperity."

THE LINK BETWEEN BUSH FAMILY AND ROMNEY IS HENRY TAFT BENSON. CO FOUNDER OF THE RUSSEL TRUST aka. SKULLS N BONES SOCIETY.

IT is OBVIOUS that the DEMCRATIC ESTABLISHMENT KNOWs THAT OBAMA is the CANDIDATE with the BEST CHANCE to win in NOVEMBER. EVERY statistic and poll supports this fact The DEMOCRATIC party cannot risk losing the WHITE HOUSE. The only obstacle standing in OBAMA's way is the LATINO VOTE.

THE CLINTON"S ARE JUST TO polarizing. Too many scandals, to many investigations. I do not believe they are guilty in all those scandals I just believe AMERICA needs a change from the establishment. We do not need a years worth of divisive campaigning. IT would be amazing to see McCain vs OBAMA. A GOOD CLEAN HEAVY WEIGHT FIGHT. NO ONE GETS THEIR EAR BIT OFF. A ROMNEY CAMpaign would be just like BUSH'S very divisive and full of lies. IF AMERICA CHOOSES THESE TWO CANDIDATES to represent their respective parties then I think the AMERICAN political process can begin to heal and set an example to the rest of the world. WHAT KIND OF MESSAGE ARE WE SENDING IRAQIS and AFGHANS. IF we promote racial divide why shoud they give us the benefit of the doubt concerning ABU GRADE and BLACK WATER. ARE WE REALLY RACIST CAN IT BE THAT THE CLINTON"S ARE A REFLECTION OF OUR SOCIETY. DIVIDE people so we the CLINTON'S can attain the power we are entitled too and so rightfully deserve after my conduct in the OVAL OFFICE. No one else is capable of being president. I will become nasty and play the race card because the "MEDIA" is trying to take away the presidency from me and my wife.

OBAMA HAS TO GAIN GROUND WITH THE LATINO VOTE. HE NEEDS TO BLITZ THE LATINO"S WITH COMMERCIALS OF ECONOMIC prosperity.

Bush Legacy ... The DPE (Dumbest President Ever)! I don't think of myself as a Dem or Rep. I'm for whoever can get the job done and so far both sides suck at this. But out of all the Presidents we had, both Dem and Rep, the one we unfortunately have in office right now is Dumb! He makes it hard for me to believe his daddy didn't pay for his degree. Adieu to the Moron!

Right, the worst and most dangerous President in all of American history. He's so lacking in credibility that I stopped paying any attention to him months or maybe years ago. Last night when the State of the Union was on, I was being entertined by watching wrestling. (Hannah Montana wasn't on). By the way, her economic stimulus package would work as well as Bush's.

I'm telling you, he will go down as one of, if not the worst, president the States has ever had and you guys have a big hole now to dig yourselves out of. This man cares not about freedoms but about his own agendas. He couldn't care less about how much money he wastes (imagine spending 80 Billion dollars a month on your own people instead of some useless war in Iraq). Sickening. This man lives in a bubble and has no idea what a mess he has created. Good luck USA in your upcoming elections, I hope you get a great president to help put you back to the stature you once enjoyed.

You're kidding me--to say that "At the time, the president was calling for a missile defense system that he still hasn't developed or deployed" is ridiculous. Right now--today--we have 21 long-range interceptor missiles at Fort Greely, Alaska and three interceptors at Vandenberg AFB, Calif. to defend the US against a limited ICBM attack from North Korea. We also have three land-based radars, one sea-based X-band radar operating in the Pacific Ocean, and a transportable X-band radar stationed in Japan. We also have 18 modified radars aboard US Navy Aegis ships, and more than 30 interceptor missiles for the ships to defend against short to medium range missiles, plus more than 600 advanced Patriot interceptors. The Terminal High Altitude Area Defense (THAAD) interceptor system designed to intercept up to intermediate range ballistic missiles has had tremendous test sucess and will be available to commanders in a few years. With the huge amount of information readily available, it is unbelievable that you would state matter-of-factly that missile defense technology hasn't been developed and deployed.

Considering the political tilt left of this magazine I expected the negative tone of the article. You work on the basic assumption that Bush has to move towards the DEMS not the other way around.

all hail King George. His crusades are coming to an end. He can happily ride off into the west and count his millions. After the disaster of his presidency, the only good news is that he has single handedly destroyed the republican party. Thanks George.

Bush claims to be compassionate, yet he vetoed SCHIPS.. Poverty has increased in the 7 years of Bush???s misrule. Hate crimes have increased and 47 million Americans have no access to medical insurance or medical care - That???s 10 million more than when Bush took office. With statistics like these, for Bush to claim that he is compassionate is a blatant lie.

One of the biggest lies in Bush???s State of the Union Speech is his campaign for fair and free elections in Iraq, Afghanistan, and elsewhere. The 2000 election was rigged by Bush???s brother Jeb in Florida - and Bush actually did NOT win the popular vote. The 2004 election was also rigged by a series of maneuvers outlined by Greg Palast in Armed Madhouse. According to Palast, 5-6 million people were deprived of their right to vote, mostly African-American and Latino

Now, continuing tradition of voter suppression, a number of states dominated by Republican governors and legislators have passed laws requiring photo Id???s Indiana???s law requires either a driver???s licence or passport, thereby disenfranchising 11 % of the population. The law is on appeal and President Bush has filed a brief in favor of Indiana???s restrictive laws. Supposedly, photo ID laws are supposed to protect against identity theft and voter fraud. However, exhaustive studies conducted by the Brennan Center for Justice at NYU has conducted exhaustive studies on voter fraud and failed to find any verifiable cases. The Photo ID laws are simply a thinly disguised form of a poll tax or literacy test. In the hands of partisan election officials, they can be used to discriminate against voters that these elections officials don???t want to vote - specifically African-Americans and Latinos. It is hypocritical that Bush sends African-Americans and Latinos to die in Iraq to defend free elections, while these people might be denied the right to vote in their own state. Bush???s support of 21 century poll taxes prove that he is a pathological liar.

Bush asks Americans to trust him. Say what? According to a study conducted by the Center
for Public Integrity, Bush and his cohorts lied to the public about Iraq a total of 953 times in a two year period. Bush insists on wire-tapping American citizens without a search warrant. He insist on maintaining his right to apprehend, arrest, and detain any American citizen he suspects of being an agent of terrorism without a writ of haebeas corpus. (His Secretary of Education, Rodney K. Paige labeled the NEA a terrorist organization.) His appointee Scott J. Bloch US Office of Special Counsel, which is supposed to protect whitleblowers, actually persecutes any one who attempts to tell the truth to the American people. Bush even outs covert CIA agents, like Valerie Plame, if they do not agree with him, endangering our national secruity. Now, he is asking us to trust him?

Sorry, no way, Jorge.
Yours truly,
William Joseph Miller

The Center for Public Integrity recently posted a study which ???counted 935 false statements in the two-year period. It found that in speeches, briefings, interviews and other venues, Bush and administration officials stated unequivocally on at least 532 occasions that Iraq had weapons of mass destruction or was trying to produce or obtain them or had links to al-Qaida or both.???

This study also named along??? top officials of the administration during the period studied: Vice President Dick Cheney, national security adviser Condoleezza Rice, Defense Secretary Donald H. Rumsfeld, Secretary of State Colin Powell, Deputy Defense Secretary Paul Wolfowitz and White House press secretaries Ari Fleischer and Scott McClellan.???
With a record like this, how or why should we believe anything that President Bush said in his State of the Union address? Bush is a pathological liar, and he presecutes any one who tries to tell the people the truth. (Consider Valerie Plame.)

As David Korten, the author of When Corporations Rule the World stated in a recent article published in WorldArk Magazine,???Many of our most powerful political and corporate officeholders fit the clinical definition of the psychopath or sociopath The psychopath or sociopath can appear to be very charming, but lacks any capacity for compassion, is unable to see the world from any viewpoint but his or her own and psychologicall incapable of moral behavior.???
Korten???s words aptly describe Bush???s the State of the Union Message.

Your'e kidding me--to state that. " At the time, the president was calling for a missile defense system that he still hasn't developed or deployed" is ridiculous. Right now--today--we have 21 long-range interceptor missiles at Ft. Greely, Alaska and three interceptors at Vandenberg AFB, Calif., plus three land-based radars, one sea-based X-band radar, one transportable X-band radar in Japan plus modified SPY-1 radars aboard 18 Navy Aegis ships. This is tied together with an integrated command, control and communication operated by U.S. Northern Command and ready for defensive operations. And this is just the developed, tested and deployed defense against long-range missiles. There are also more than 30 sea-based interceptor missiles produced for short to medium range missile threats, nearly 1,000 advanced Patriot interceptors deployed around the world with the U.S. Army, and the Terminal High Altitude Area Defense (THAAD) system to intercept up to intermediate range missiles over a wider area than Patriot is nearly finished with its initial test program and will be ready for worldwide deployment within three years. By the end of this year, we will have a total of 30 long-range interceptors deployed in Alaska and California, providing more capability against a North Korean theat, and with the completion of upgrades to radars in the United Kingdom and Greenland, we will have a defense against Iranian ICBMs as well. It is hard to imagine that with all the information out there about the current state of our missile defense system that you would--incredibly--write that the technologies haven't been developed or deployed.

Frag him going back to Tx this good Christian boy still has to answer his involvment when he sold his stocks in Enron and Worldcom and get his day in court that he startd a war to avoid! The masterminds Ken Leigh and Bush profited on there sales and both are guilty of insider trading as Bush was told to sell cause it was going under fast he must pay for his activities prior to 9/11! Unlike White water Bush made a ton-o-money not lost cause he was tipped off and this is why we were going into Iraq even before 9/11! MAKE THE SOB PAY!!!
