6. Of course

That's what it's all about it. PNAC was designed for them to get richer while we get poorer. *sigh* Sometime, if you haven't, go to http://www.informationclearinghouse.info and watch "The Carlyle Group" movie. :grr:

7. Sadly, yes this is what they are dying for

..and I cry every day for these people who want only to believe in their country & the belief that their country is doing the right thing.

I only wish that we could get through to these people, that they would stop & hear what is really going on. In the mean time, my heart breaks...:scared:

4. Bush is transferring our wealth

while denying our citizens of benefits they've paid for.

5. But $450,000 in one month to *'s uncle

shows the greed. As * cuts VA funding. If "evil" is to be discussed, Bush certainly is the epitomy.
