Credibility and Criminality

George Bush seems to have lost much of his credibility. Last night, he made a speech to the nation in an effort to make a turnaround. I hope the people of this country have finally gotten enough of a dose of what kind of person he actually is so they do not buy into his political pleas.

President Bush expressed the sentiments that many people have felt for weeks...this is a bad situation, but if we pull together, we can recover. He went beyond that, though, and said New Orleans would be better. I think that could happen, too, but I don't believe it will. The reason I don't believe that is the same reason I do not believe New Orleans and all the victims will get the help they need from the U.S. government. Our current administration thinks it cares...but it doesn't. It doesn't have the capacity to care. Bush thinks he is a compassionate conservative...and I think he believes he is. But, in reality, Bush is a parasite on humanity. He sees people as commodities. No words he utters can change the reality that he reacts only to political issues...never humanitarian issues. I'm angry and cannot make good sense at the moment...so I won't try.

The Bush administration is already letting no-bid contracts to Halliburton, et al. Nothing has changed. Money matters. Money is all that matters.

Tonight, I listened to Bill Clinton being interviewed by Larry King. As much as I distrust Clinton for his political career, I could not help but think he was genuine and has a charitable view toward human beings. His presidency, soiled though it was by his indiscretions and personal failings, will be remembered as a presidency anchored in goodness. George Bush will be remembered as a cumbersome, stupid, bad-actor cowboy whose intellect was surpassed by his sixth grade colleagues. He should never have been President; he should never have been allowed to graduate from grade school. George Bush should have taken a position as a Republican janitor in a Baptist church. That would have taxed his intellect, but might have protected his countrymen.

If the U.S. does not reject Republican rule in the next elections, we are a doomed country. I am not a fan of Democrats, nor of Liberatarians or Greens, but we must get Republicans out of power. We need a national conscience. We need people who really care about people and do not rely on the church to provide their humanity for them.
