1. That's stunning! Good thing Dumbya is a fiscal conservative.

Hey, wait a minute. That's the people's money. OUR money!

Dumbya said so.

4. Very funny.

You know he has always had other peoples money to spend so why did anyone think he would be a new man once he was in office. That site should be sent to Free REp

2. Beautifully Done! Think Rove Is Counting On People Not Having A Clue....

... as to what 87B really means.

3. Try this

If you were paid one dollar a second from the moment you were born, you wouldn't be a billionaire until well past your 31st birthday. So it would take 2700 some-odd years for you to accrue 87 billion.

5. Whoa now check out a certain candiate

Kucinich: "Let's Demand that the Troops Come Home"

"My Fellow Americans: I ask you today to have hope that your voices can and will be heard. In great numbers, you and I opposed the build-up to this war and have opposed the war and the occupation. The President has asked for another $87 billion with which to sink us further into the quicksand of a U.S.-occupied Iraq, even though a majority of you oppose spending that money. I am with you, and we can win. It is time to demand 'U.N. in, U.S. out!' There must be no privatization of the oil that belongs to the Iraqi people.

"This unjustified war has already cost thousands of Iraqi and American lives. U.S. soldiers are continuing to be killed and wounded. More Americans have died in Iraq since the President declared the mission accomplished than prior to that point.

"Now is the time to raise your voices, Americans. Hold peaceful demonstrations. Do not be intimidated! And call your Congress members to tell them to vote against another $87 billion for this misadventure."

Go DK, thank you.
