A new day is coming and if the Republicians don’t steal the election dollars to donuts the Democrats win the presidency, and even if we happen to get a Republician president, the congress will not be Republician.

The only rats that have not left the sinking ship is Larry Craig and the Senator from Alaska who has done far greater damage than the man called “Wide stance”.

The only thing Larry did wrong was say he was guilty and want to change his mind, his poor wife is left out in left field.

Can anyone believe this persons story?

One more time to remind you, don’t insult real animals by comparing them to Bush/Cheney servants.

It doesn’t seem to make any difference.  Bush still gets his way.  Congress can’t even override a veto.

Isn’t that sad?  A leader who ignores the law and international law and our representatives in Congress STILL support him.

Oil colored rats. How telling. And guess who they’re leaving behind on their scuttled ship, friends. What they’re leaving us at the end of the Bush Error:

Frozen Wages (masked by extensive credit)
Tripled Gas Prices
Doubled Home Prices (now plummeting)
Skyrocketing Federal Debt
Below Zero National Savings Rate
Canadian Dollar equals US Dollar
Poisoned Toys and Poisoned Food
Healthcare Unaffordable and Under Caliber
War Machine Vampire Sucking The Life From Our Future

Yet delusional Bu$hCo still says, “America’s Never Been Better!”

The economy is hot! (same temp as the USD presses)
Jobs are plentiful! (just ask the Chinese)
Productivity is way up! (but vacations are way down)
Customer Service is tops! (when flipped upside down)
Wages have never been higher! (talking about Congress)
In education, No Child has been Left Behind! (they all have)
Housing prices doubled since Y2k! (but wages didn’t keep up)
Gasoline is still affordable! (it just tripled in 7 years)
Everyone that wants a job, has a job! (what if I want a career?)
Unemployment is at an all time low! (not counting these, them and those)
Democracy has birthed in the Middle East! (where we’re welcomed as liberators)
Most everyone is covered by healthcare! (if you work for government)
Stock markets have never been higher! (’cause consumers have never paid so much for everything)
Homeland Security says we’re safer than 9/11! (and if you believe that, they’ve got a wide-open border to sell us… oh yeah, they already did!)

Now will someone please set that oil slick on fire so these rats don’t live to breed another day?!
