Finally I am going to say what I have wanted to for a long time.
1) Halliburton – Cheney quit Halliburton before he accepted the nomination for VP and put all his money in a blind trust. Was he an oil man, yes. So what. Oil still runs this country. Al Gore is a man who gets money from polution credits and Kennedy got money off of Scotch so they didn’t tax them. By the way can you say ACORN? At least Halliburton actually produced something instead of monopoly money (Gore) drunks (Kennedy) and banks in ruin (ACORN)
2) Abu Grahib – terrible thing, awful. But, what was done was hazing. You can find it at any military academy in America. That is where the ideas for what was done were hatched, not in Rumsfeld’s office. Stop it there and you will stop it in the future. As soon as I saw what they had done I knew, because I had a child in the corps at a college. These guys officers learned it there. Stop is there!
3) Katrina – Awful terrible, unthinkable. But, tell me why of all the hurricanes that happened under Bush’s watch this didn’t happen anywhere else. Florida had 4 huricanes in one season. A few weeks after Katrina there was a hurricane in Texas called Rita, I lived through it. Nothing like this happened in Texas or Florida or Alabama or Mississippi. Why only New Orleans? Bush’s fault? I don’t think so.
So there. I have said it. Go for it. Repeat again what the media told you over and over again. Were these men Cheney, Rumsfeld and Bush perfect? No! Were they evil? No! They were slandered and made to look evil for one purpose. Because after 9/11 Bush had a 95% approval rating and if that continued no one would care again about the snail darter or the spotted owl. And there is A LOT of money tied up in community organizations that would loose. There are hundreds of charitable organizations that take in $200,000 for the poor and the snail darter and environmental causes that pay the local director $150,000 with an all volunteer staff. They get a lot of money from federal grants. If Bush continued to be popular no one would care so much about what Hollywood had to say or the Democratic Party. People were buying masks and guns, instead of the latest shoes in the latest magazines. People simply were not listening to the left anymore. So they couldn’t just wait for the natural drifting down of poll numbers to occur they had to distroy the man and his men. And they did. In time to elect Pres. Obama. Happy now? Even Glenn Beck won’t tell you that.
Glad I got that off my chest.
