After Bush won the 2004 Presidential election by some 3 million votes a gloating Republican friend of mine asked me "if Kerry and the Demos couldn't beat bush with all the arrows sticking in Bush do you really think they deserve to run the country." Of course there is no way he would have listened to my serious concerns about voter fraud in Ohio and Diebold owned voting machines in other parts of the country. 3 million is a significant number of popular votes.
I think of this now when Bush has even more arrows sticking in his Presidency some so serious all they need is a push by a leading Democratic spokesperson or potential 2008 candidate, and again the Democrats are asleep at the wheel.

C'mon Demos, Delay indicted, Frist under investigation along with Rove and Libby and maybe even the Vice President. The Republicans wanting to cut the safety net of federal programs for the poor and unemployed another $50 billion to help offset their horrific defecit spending and tax cuts for the rich. And Iraq a bungled mess with stories everyday of billions of tax dollars being wasted, stolen or unaccounted for in the Bush/Rumsfeld reconstruction anarchy of greed and payoffs.
Yet not a peep out Hillary, or John Kerry, who's turning out to be the biggest wimp ever. When the Swift vote con men slapped him in the face he turned the other cheek. When the Ohio results had serious fraud potential, he turned the other cheek and conceeded. You can bet the farm if the roles had been reversed Bush and Rove would still be contesting the Ohio results as crooked or rigged. And now when Kerry should be on every media outlet telling those stupid red state Republicans I told you so.....where the hell is he? And Edwards, or should I say Casper the friendly ghost, he's building houses for the poor. Good for him. Al Gore gives a powerful speech every now and then, yet nobody, even Demos, have a clue how to hear it.
And where is Wesley Clark when we need him? And good ole boy Bill, he just doesn't want to offend anybody he's still trying to move toward a political center which has been torn apart by the Republican propaganda machine long ago. Stop promoting your legacy ( your never going to erase your antics with Monica) and start pushing on these arrows in Bush or at least motivate your wife to, until they strike a vital artery.

Speaking about Republican propaganda and Bush's culture of cronyism. Karen Hughes another totally unqualified Bush groupie appointed as a key US diplomat to change the hearts and minds of Muslims who haven't taken up arms against the US yet, was put on the spot yesterday, not by US media (of course), but by foreign media and Indonesian students. She found out that foreignors don't buy Republican propaganda as easily as red state Republicans when she said in a speech defending the US's invasion of Iraq that it was necessary because Saddam had gassed hundreds of thousands of his own people.
When she was confronted on her mis-reporting of this history by the students she was talking to, she just fumbled forward repeating it over. Afterwards the state department apologized for her lack of accurate facts. It was about 5,000 Kurds Saddam had gassed not 300,000. Later when Hughes was asked about the origin of her inaccurate facts by foreign journalists she said
"It's something that our US government has said (meaning the Bushies) a number of times in the past. It's information that was used very widely after his attack on the Kurds. I believe it was close to 300,000 ....that's something that I said everyday in the course of the campaign . That's information that we talked about a great deal in America".
She's not just a true believer in the Rove/Limbaugh lies and mis-information she used in the campaign but she and the President are too stupid to even check the facts before sending her out trying to sell Republican propaganda to future insurgents.
