The world is a better place because of George W. Bush’s presidency, Vice President Dick Cheney assured Oklahoma Republicans on Friday evening. “When the history is written, it will be said this is a safer country and more hopeful world because George Bush was president,” Cheney said.
“The world is a better place because of George Bush!” Excuse me while I puke.
Journalist, Dave Lindorff, reports that George Bush’s way of making the world a better place reads like “a laundry list of international crimes, the Crime Against Peace and Conspiracy against Peace in the UN Charter, to Geneva Convention violations such as approval of torture of prisoners, collective punishment of civilians, the killing of children and child soldiers, the failure to protect occupied citizens, the use of banned weapons, etc., etc., and also of domestic crimes, ranging from political use of government employees, conspiracy, treason, lying to federal officials, defrauding Congress, etc.”
Predictably, George Bush’s high crimes and misdemeanors” haven’t offended his Republican base. In a USA TODAY/Gallup Poll (taken April 18th through April 20th), 66% of Republicans polled support the policies of the Bush regime — at least they do in private.
There isn’t a Republican official where I live (rural upstate New York) that has “the balls” to praise George Bush in public. They’re running for re-election — and away from their boy, George.
They can read the writing on the wall, and it tells them that 69% of Americans disapprove of George Bush’s policies. So, don’t expect these “local Yokels” to muster up the courage to stand by their man — at least not in public.
