George Bush and his policies may have precipitated the most widespread political ferment in the United States in more than a generation. With the Patriot Act and tax cuts for the rich, the invasion of Iraq, the assault on forests, waterways and clean air, and the passage of a prescription drug bill with the potential to destroy Medicare, the Bush administration… return to article

Reader Comments (10)Page 1 of 1 pagesI am so glad to see that people around this country are finally starting to see through Bush and his administration and are working to do something about it. It’s time we took this country back from the greedy crooks that are running it right now.

Please sign me up! NO BLOOD FOR OIL!When we step on people’s culture we stir up the hate and make it rage. Saddam- no matter what A-HOLE NEOCONSERVATIVES SAY- provided - UNIVERSAL HEALTH CARE- bet nobody knew that! I’m not saying he’s nice or anything. But he’s no BUSH! HE’S NO DAMN SHRUB BUSH! Cares about his people than that TEXAS BLOWHARD MORON ELECTION CHEAT ever would.
My faith is simple with the news in the world———Blood is not worth the oil. It never was and it never will be.
Peace, freeness, openess, and HONESTY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Posted by mouse on Dec 16, 2003 at 5:31 AM No matter how much organization takes place…there’s a bottom line that Karl Rove understands: an uniformed electorate will give Bush another term in the White House. That’s why the media is so manipulated and the news is so controlled.
There is no investigation of the Wilson Scandal. The Cheney energy meetings are finally going to the SC, and that’s being hidden. There is no hue and cry by any paper to get the 9/11 papers opened, or to expose the WMD stories as total lies. So much is being kept from us by the corporate media with an agenda to keep in favor with this corrupt administration.My suggestion: an informed electorate will OUST Bush. Get on a free mailing list to get the real headlines and links to the unreported news. Tell your friends. Information is power.
Here’s my source. There are otheres.

Yo, bro’, I didn’t know you were the Publisher of In These Times! I’ve got to start reading stuff other than the Wall Street Journal (only ‘cause I represent the union there . . . although their pieces on corporate benefit plan shenanegans have been excellent).
I hope there isn’t too much of a disconnect between the activists and the “mainstream” on the war. My sense is that people in general are tired of being manipulated by the Bush propaganda machine.

Posted by Lowell Peterson on Dec 16, 2003 at 11:29 PM Mouse, you are an idiot. How old are you? Do you have a high school education? How about a chemical imbalance? If you want people to take you seriously you ought to refrain from suggesting that George Bush is worse than Saddam Hussein. Once again, you’re an idiot.
Posted by Ralph on Dec 18, 2003 at 2:33 AM I was wondering if there’s anything like this in Arkansas?? Where has the democrats disappeared? Oh Lord, save us from your so-called people!!

What is worse, a guaranteed free-pass to gas and torture your enemies with the U.S. backing, or lying about backing Saddam when he does it?I think George Sr. is almost worse than Saddam. Read about his horrific dealings when in the CIA, under Reagan and now controlling his puppet of a son (my chemically-imbalanced opinion) and if you don’t have the wits about you to do any kind of research I would refrain from calling someone a high schooler or an idiot, or worse, saying someone has a chemical imbalance without having any kind of point. This is right-wing, pig-headed thinking. Be smarter, do some research.
Oh, and my chemical imbalance is known as epilepsy.
Posted by neil on Jan 5, 2004 at 4:53 AM Neil, I know all about George H.W. Bush’s CIA career and somehow still believe that his son is better than Saddam Hussein. I guess that’s just right wing, pig-headed thinking. And my point in calling this “Mouse” an uneducated, ignorant head case was to clue him in that he sounds like a maniac when he says that Bush is worse than Saddam Hussein. In other news, you liberals are beating a dead horse by harping on the old US-Iraqi alliance. If you would only have us allied with good guys, I’m glad you weren’t at the helm during WWII when we needed Stalin’s help.
Posted by Ralph on Jan 15, 2004 at 1:02 AM Thanks, this is just the idea i have been looking for. I’m bringing it up next week at the Peace coalition meeting. But, i have found it very hard to get people off their computers and out in the neighborhoods. 100,000,000 adults didn’t vote in 2000 election. We have got to try!
