3. You think that's bad?
My doctor is a great guy with one flaw: he's about as Republican as you can be without joining the Klan.

Recently? He's been saying he's had a religious experience -- he's a Born-Again Democrat.

The Devil must have bought himself a pair of ice skates, too.

5. I just talked with a Southern Christian Trucker
He's from Tennessee, he feels everything will be fine, it's god's will. All that death and destruction was gods will.
Oh, yeah, and he added that it's basically the resident's of NO own fault the city is flooded, since "he heard" they had recently voted against raising taxes to build a new levee.

I had to just turn and walk away.

15. If a human caused this much destruction they'd be called a terrorist...
and labeled "evil" so it would then follow that logic that if "God" caused all this destruction then "God" is "evil" and a "terrorist" right? And... Bush says that "terrorists" are "evil" and we must fight "terrorists" right? So... if "God" is an evil terrorist do we now fight "God"? :crazy: ( :sarcasm: )

We need to keep hammering the fact that BUSH cut the aid needed to repair the levy's.. that BUSH cut all of the assitance Clinton put in place (probably just because Clinton did it)...that BUSH sent LA's NATIONAL guard and the aquatic equipment they had to Iraq... a DESERT.

7. The conservative folk I know ...

9. NO kidding!!!!!!
I mean no way, and it took a natural holocaust and Trent Lott losing his house to figure this out.

Our once "highly regarded" country is a walking embarassment.

Impeach them and throw away the key, and somehow, in some way bring this nation's security back because we're going to need it bigtime for global warming......

All of those mistakes have become a tidal wave, the wrath of god maybe but not in the way you think. The wrath of failing to lose our dependancy on oil and having it cost us in natural disasters, and unprecedented deaths.

14. Well, an extra $200 billion WOULD come in handy right about now
And the Club for Growth is running ads here in Oregon about repealing the Estate Tax because they're soooo concerned that Paris Hilton won't get every last penny her forebears "earned" in the last 100 years. Screw the Treasury! Trust fund babies need more money! Besides the gummint will just waste the money providing food and shelter and emergency relief services to a bunch of people who don't deserve it -- at least not as much as Paris Hilton deserves another $50 million or more.

19. Gee does he think?
But.. but... there was a stampede in Iraq today...

CNN interupted the fucking Mayor of New Orleans talking about the incompetance of not working on the levys last night to TALK ABOUT IRAQ and the shiites falling off a bridge.

Why don't bush and Cheney and Halliburton stay in Iraq to defend their new territory and give the rest of us our freaking military back!

If the entire public doesn't get a clue about this bastard after this then there is NO HOPE for America IMO
