When does red become *RED*? - Bush's Mantra, "There's Time for Politics"

(until there isn't.)

Who knows where the tipping point is between Republican red ideology and RED Chinese domination. China holds much of our debt (the Saudi's are growing weary of American investment).

With its unimaginable deficit spending, this admin has quickly placed our national security largely in the hands of the most powerful Communist nation.

Un-coincidentally, China has been dumping huge amounts of cash into our lobbying system for years.

Bush criticized Clinton for this, while enjoying even more Chinese funding. Who's politics is there time for?

1. While always beating the drums for militarism
The RepubliCons and those who collaborate with them were only too willing to capitulate in the economic war. We have already lost on that front, I fear. If not, we as a Nation are grievously wounded, waiting only the coup de grace...

3. So strange that the "security" president puts us at so much risk...

If only the military/industrialists (i.e. PNAC) which Eisenhower warned us about wasn't calling the shots right now.

The crazies have been in the car for a long time. Now they're driving.

We the people are the cops to pull them over. They've already killed too many people on the road.

5. They will blithely accelerate over the hapless traffic cop, too
Their game confuses me, to be honest. It seems that they must be playing with information which we, the American People, are not privy to. In my dark conspiratorial moments, I suspect it is the fact that global warming has passed the tipping point and is a runaway train at this time.

6. The game is designed to confuse...

...and I haven't figured it all out.

It's not about global warming (though indifference toward environment does play a part). But you do have the global part right.

What I do know is that the (influence buying) money in D.C. has been disproportionately foreign for a long time.

Sun Myung Moon -- founder & owner of The Washington Times -- new owner of UPI (who owns entire countries, and bought out many U.S. fishing towns) over time has invested huge sums in support of American Right Wing politicians.


It's all about money.

Democracies make acquiring money difficult (so many annoying laws, with all the appointed sticklers to them).

Without a major event -- This regime would never have become this infkated...
