NO "Surprise" Terrorist Attack on U.S. Soil
NO Fabricated Intelligence Linking Iraq to Al Qaeda
NO Outing of CIA Operative, Valerie Plame
NO Shameless and Junk-yard Dog, (Foaming-at-the-Mouth Vicious) Swift-Boating of Decorated War Heroes (and Congressmen at that!) like John Kerry, Max Cleland and John Murtha... simply because they have the guts to question and oppose the White House
NO Railroading, via Cheap News Media TV Tricks, of Outspoken & Black Congresswoman, Cynthia McKinney (Outspoken, Black and a Woman to Boot!!! How Dare her Criticize a Son-of-a-President President!)
NO Standing up, in Cynthia Mckinney's place, a truly "Clueless" and "Obedient" Republican Black Man, Hank Johnson, who doesn't even get it when his own party relishes in repeatedly (in their "Conservative Party" Press Releases) referring to him as the "dark horse" opposition to McKinney. For example see: http://prweb.com/releases/georgia/election/prweb411052.htm

NO Complete Denial and Silencing of UN Chief Weapons Inspectors like 3rd Generation Republican, Marine Intelligence Officer, and UN Iraq Weapons Inspector, Scott Ritter, who happened to be screaming as best as he could above Bush's War Drums, "THERE ARE NO WMDs!"
NO Jack Abramoff, Tom DeLay, Bob Ney, Ralph Reed, Grover Norquist, Mike Scanlion, Karl Rove, et al conspiracy to defraud, of all people, our Native Americans and you, me, aka taxpayers.

NO Bogus claims that saving you and me a Couple Hundred Bucks on taxes while offering Billions in Tax Savings to Millionaires and Billionaires (now numbering over 400) somehow and mysteriously, Through the "Altruistic" Maze of Capitalism gives You and Me More Money??? When is the last time any rich person you know got a bonus of money they could certainly live without and offered that money to you? This, in effect, is the promise the Bush Administration and Wall Street makes to you and me. They Lie. It's that simple. Who really believes that "giving more money to the rich makes the poor, one dime less poor?" Tell me who you are. I'm likely more poor than you... maybe using Bush Administration logic you will offer me some of your money. Hmmm?
NO Mark Foley, Gay Predation of Teen-age Pages, Cover Up
