I see it is the same old, same old in Washington. Remember 98&99, All the republicans did the last two years of Slick Willys term was hold hearing after hearing. NOTHING got done.So I see the democrates are doing the same thing & the american people are the losers. So all we have to look forward to until the elections is nothing but hearing after hearing & 30 second souind bites by both sides. SO how is that suppose to make our lives better. I thought the DEms won because they were going to make our lives better. Looks like niether partie is changing & things will remain the same.SO who is At fault. Could it be the people who voted them in??

During a debate with then-Vice President Al Gore on Oct. 11, 2000, in Winston-Salem, N.C., Bush said: "I don't think our troops ought to be used for what's called nation-building. . . . I think what we need to do is convince people who live in the lands they live in to build the nations. Maybe I'm missing something here. I mean, we're going to have a kind of nation-building corps from America? Absolutely not."

According to Donald Rumsfield, the failure to support illegal, immoral and unnecessary wars defines one as a terrorist. Let me be clear about where I stand: I know who the real terrorists are, and can name each one of them... Bush among the rest.

Everywhere you go in America you see the slogan, “Support our troops.” You see it on bumper stickers, flags and banners, yellow ribbons . But what does it mean to support our troops? Is it to send them into harm’s way; to invade and occupy sovereign nations in illegal wars for empire? Is it to ask them to commit heinous crimes, to insult, and to humiliate people who have done us no harm? Is it to steal the natural wealth & resources that belongs to other nations and turn it over to American corporations?

If that is what it means, then I cannot support our troops. I cannot wish them well if their purpose is to conquer other people, and plunder the wealth of other countries that have done us no harm. That would require me to endorse crimes against humanity conducted under the guise of national security and patriotism. I cannot do that...I will not. It is simply wrong.

Neither should we confuse supporting our troops with supporting the President, or wrongful and immoral policies of corrupt government. The president and his ilk do not support our troops or he would not use them as pawns; he would take care of them when they come home broken and torn with psychic scars. He does not care about them...they are only a means to an end.

The best way to support our troops is to take a principled stand; to hold the moral high ground to bring them home alive and whole. A government must not be allowed to require any of its citizens to engage in immoral or criminal behavior on its behalf. When a government behaves like a crime syndicate it does not mean that the people should follow its example. They must provide a better alternative, and refuse their allegiance to it.

So if the failure to support a government’s wrongful policies makes me a terrorist so be it. If speaking truth to power makes one a terrorist sign me up! If exposing the lies and corruption makes me a terrorist... I will proudly wear the crown and bear the cost.

I was listening to Barack on the radio the other day,he actually sounded like a decent guy and a good candidate if you believe what he says but does he stand a chance of being President? I don't think so,if for no other reason than that both parties seem to be trying to eat their young on this election and I don't think he has the strong enough credentials to survive it. So does he end up being Hillary's VP? I hope neither of them win if for no other reason than the fact that my taxes would at least double if either one of thems elected in order to pay on the huge debt the current Dipshit in Chief has built up and so they can start all their social programs they want like National Health Care,might be a great deal for the non working people of the US but it will suck the life out of working people. But who do you think wins,my personal opinion is that neither of them is electable without the other,which makes Obama VP because I know Hillary isn't going to take back seat to anyone.

He has a great voting record on issues,he is against illegal immigration and wants to do something about it and not give amnesty.He defends the border patrol,and the list goes on with other conservative issues.Why compromise with Guiliani who is too liberal with other issues,ie gay rights and abortion?

Yet another insightful statement by our exalted President.

In reference to the tornadoes that hit Alabama

"This storm is a tough storm" - George W. Bush

Aren't you so proud of him and how he states the obvious in such an eloquent manner?

Dear resident,

We are in the process of obtaining a denuncia against the country club, regarding the unbearable noise pollution.

Spanish law as it stands:

In residential areas there must be no disturbances over 40 decibels. Due to the many complaints I have received - (we are all aware that the clubs entertainments far exceed this).

We have seen a solicitor who has advised us to denounce the owners.

We would like to raise 500 euros to help pay for the denouncement in court.
Once the motion is officially lodged monitoring will commence.


Contributions or questions.
Please contact me at the above E-mail

Donations optional but every euro helps.



Thank you for your support.

"The community of nations may see more and more of the very kind of threat Iraq poses now: a rogue state with weapons of mass destruction, ready to use them or provide them to terrorists. If we fail to respond today, Saddam and all those who would follow in his footsteps will be emboldened tomorrow."

Since in fact they are criminals who have broken our laws. Can we, as law abiding citizens, affect a Citizens Arrest and have law enforcement pick them up for deportation?
