Frauds and lies
Sounds like The Scarlet Letter.

\"He is brain dead,\" Biden said of the president.
Thousands of cards mailed by county election boards to newly registered voters in Hamilton County and throughout the state are being returned because the people can't be found.
it's a result of statewide registration fraud conducted by independent groups that support Democratic candidates.
Teresa Heinz Kerry, wife of Democratic presidential candidate John Kerry (news - web sites), questioned whether first lady Laura Bush ever had \"a real job,\"
\"Teaching is a real job. Working as a librarian is a real job. Staying at home and rearing a family is a real job,\" Hughes (Bush political advisor) said.
Yo Pauli,
Where did you ever get that I was anti-Jewish? I've gone to great lengths to state that I am not. I hang out with Jewish friends here. I am anti-Israeli govt., just like I'm anti-US govt. Does that make me anti-American? NO. The Mossad is an instrument of the Israeli govt., just like the CIA is an instrument of the US govt. Are these two organisations guilty of crimes that the general population would be outraged over. Yes. Well there's probably less now with all of the scare tactics being practised by the US govt. Do I trust either of these govts. or their \"intelligence\" agencies? Hell NO.
So get it strait bubba. I ain't no neo-Nazi or anti-semitic. Not one bit. I am very concerned about how the governments of the world, especially the US, have become the masters of those governed rather than the servant as was originally intended. The concentration of power in the govt. and its institutions has corrupted it IMO.
I am not talking about you specifically, but my skin began to crawl when I read all of that theory about 9-11 being a Mossad action.

Btw, I consider myself to be a Zionist. I believe firmly that the Jews have every right to live in their own land where they live under a gov't built and maintained by Jews. This is how I define Zionism - and how everyone else I know in my community that defines Zionism.
The 9/11 Secret in the CIA's Back Pocket
* The agency is withholding a damning report that points at senior officials.
It is shocking: The Bush administration is suppressing a CIA report on 9/11 until after the election, and this one names names. Although the report by the inspector general's office of the CIA was completed in June, it has not been made available to the congressional intelligence committees that mandated the study almost two years ago.
\"It is infuriating that a report which shows that high-level people were not doing their jobs in a satisfactory manner before 9/11 is being suppressed,\" an intelligence official who has read the report told me, adding that \"the report is potentially very embarrassing for the administration, because it makes it look like they weren't interested in terrorism before 9/11, or in holding people in the government responsible afterward.\"
When I asked about the report, Rep. Jane Harman (D-Venice), ranking Democratic member of the House Intelligence Committee, said she and committee Chairman Peter Hoekstra (R-Mich.) sent a letter 14 days ago asking for it to be delivered. \"We believe that the CIA has been told not to distribute the report,\" she said. \"We are very concerned.\"
According to the intelligence official, who spoke to me on condition of anonymity, release of the report, which represents an exhaustive 17-month investigation by an 11-member team within the agency, has been \"stalled.\" First by acting CIA Director John McLaughlin and now by Porter J. Goss, the former Republican House member (and chairman of the Intelligence Committee) who recently was appointed CIA chief by President Bush.
The official stressed that the report was more blunt and more specific than the earlier bipartisan reports produced by the Bush-appointed Sept. 11 commission and Congress.
\"What all the other reports on 9/11 did not do is point the finger at individuals, and give the how and what of their responsibility. This report does that,\" said the intelligence official. \"The report found very senior-level officials responsible.\"
By law, the only legitimate reason the CIA director has for holding back such a report is national security. Yet neither Goss nor McLaughlin has invoked national security as an explanation for not delivering the report to Congress.
\"It surely does not involve issues of national security,\" said the intelligence official.
\"The agency directorate is basically sitting on the report until after the election,\" the official continued. \"No previous director of CIA has ever tried to stop the inspector general from releasing a report to the Congress, in this case a report requested by Congress.\"
None of this should surprise us given the Bush administration's great determination since 9/11 to resist any serious investigation into how the security of this nation was so easily breached. In Bush's much ballyhooed war on terror, ignorance has been bliss.
The president fought against the creation of the Sept. 11 commission, for example, agreeing only after enormous political pressure was applied by a grass-roots movement led by the families of those slain.
And then Bush refused to testify to the commission under oath, or on the record. Instead he deigned only to chat with the commission members, with Vice President Dick Cheney present, in a White House meeting in which commission members were not allowed to take notes. All in all, strange behavior for a man who seeks reelection to the top office in the land based on his handling of the so-called war on terror.
In September, the New York Times reported that several family members met with Goss privately to demand the release of the CIA inspector general's report. \"Three thousand people were killed on 9/11, and no one has been held accountable,\" 9/11 widow Kristen Breitweiser told the paper.
The failure to furnish the report to Congress, said Harman, \"fuels the perception that no one is being held accountable. It is unacceptable that we don't have [the report]; it not only disrespects Congress but it disrespects the American people.\"
The stonewalling by the Bush administration and the failure of Congress to gain release of the report have, said the intelligence source, \"led the management of the CIA to believe it can engage in a cover-up with impunity. Unless the public demands an accounting, the administration and CIA's leadership will have won and the nation will have lost.\"

I want Bush out because he's a normal person, and normal people shouldn't be allowed such control over the world's greatest superpower and subsequently the world itself. Bush has a poor education record...
I suppose Bush's Bachelors degree from YALE and a Master of Business Administration degree from HARVARD is no big deal, if it's from the perspective of
an Einstein like you.

Can you live there if you aren't Jewish? Do you get to vote, run for office, go to graduate school, or criticize the government if you aren't Jewish?
