A lot of politicians are making election year conversions trying to fool us into pretending to be someone different than they really are. With the election a few days away they are singing a different tune. Now they are against the war when last year they supported it. Now they say "We've never been Stay the Course". Republicans like Clay Shaw and Rick Santorum are running political ads about how well they worked with President Clinton (not Bush) when a few years ago they were trying to impeach him. Arnold Schwarzenegger isn't running special elections this year trying to make power grabs. Joe Lieberman is no longer on kissing terms with Bush.
So if your candidate is singing a new tune - beware. Just as sure as gas prices are going up after the election you can bet that their election personality is going to go away just as soon as they sucker you into voting for them yet again. I say, when in doubt, vote them out!

Is Clinton more conservative than Bush? When Clinton was president he made government smaller. Bush made it bigger. Clinton cut taxes on the middle class and had the biggest surplus in history. Bust increased taxes on the middle class and we have the biggest deficit in history. Clinton believed in pay as you go. Bush spends like there is no tomorrow.
Clinton was a highly respected leader. Bush is an embarrassment. When Clinton was president we won the wars in Somalia, Haiti, Bosnia, and Kosovo. Under Bush we lost the wars in Afghanistan, Iraq, and Lebanon. When Clinton was president the price of gas was only a dollar. Clinton didn't have the NSA tapping your phones and Clinton didn't have a network of secret torture camps. The difference between Clinton and Bush isn't Liberal vs. Conservative. The difference is success vs. failure.

Cheney says that a "dunk in water" is a "no-brainer for me" then tries to claim later that trying to drown someone isn't torture, that it's not water boarding. The Republican Congress, after John McCain sold us out, gave Bush the power to torture without the Bush administration having any idea what torture is. We can't pretend that torture is not what it clearly is. We've all seen the pictures of Abu Ghraib where our troops were torturing people for nothing more than amusement. Abu Ghraib is now legal under the laws that Republicans just passed. Being an American with legalized torture is like what it must have been to be a German with Hitler as its leader. Torture is just plain evil and we have to rise up against it.

Bush is finally giving up staying the course, declaring "We've Never been Stay the Course". Bush is now actively avoiding the "stay the course" phrase. His message now is that when you see something isn't working you try something different. That's something I agree with and that's why I'm voting for the Democrats. When you're heading in the wrong direction the right thing to do is turn around. Even Bush finally gets it.

People are asking themselves if they reelect Republicans how they will be able to solve the problem with gay Republicans wanting to have sex with underage pages. But this isn't a problem for Republicans because in their wisdom they passed laws that will protect the children from their sexual advances. Those who call this a "do nothing Congress" don't appreciate the wisdom of the laws they passed.
You see, they gave Bush the authority spy on Congress. He can tap their phones and email and Instant Message access and Bush will be watching over them to make sure they keep their hands off the kids. Bush is like Santa Claus on steroids. "He know when you are sleeping. He knows when you're awake. He knows when you've been bad or good so be good for Heaven's sake!"
And how could Congress object to Bush tapping their phones because if there was anything wrong with Bush spying on Congress then why would they have voted to let him do it? So mothers, don't you worry your pretty little heads. Your children are in good hands with the Republican led Congress.

How low do gas prices have to go to get Republicans elected? Especially knowing that as soon as the election is over that prices are going back up, how low would Republicans have to go? Under $2.00? Or what if they went all the way down to 75 cents? Maybe Republicans should try sending us all a $300 tax refund? Or they could do a prayer circle to show us how religious they are. Or maybe if we blame it all on those "commie lib'rals" like Nancy Pelosi and the witch Hillary who are going to put gays in charge of the military. Who are just going to "cut and run" while raising your taxes and destroying the moral fabric of society. If you don't vote Republican then Islamic death squads will slaughter your family, and then the Democrats will tax you after you die.
I just can't take two more years of insanity. Time to pull the plug on the Bush plan.
