Pig-snouted protesters mock Cheney, Halliburton

Question:

** Liberals are Terrorists Best Friends *** With the prison abuse scandal the #1 infatuation of the media and the ongoing perception that Iraq is unraveling, the partisan Bush-haters in Congress can’t contain themselves. Such is their hatred for President Bush that they not only cannot think clearly, but they say stupid things. First up, House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi. Now, Nancy Pelosi has undergone somewhat of a makeover since she ascended to the leadership a few years ago. She used to be considered a complete nutcase; a radical left-of-Castro 60’s leftist from California. Then she decided she wanted to be in charge, so she became the house minority leader, and has even gone for a more "conservative" look. Gone is the hair-down-to-her-ass look. Some of us aren’t fooled. Nancy Pelosi is still Nancy Pelosi, and her little temper tantrum yesterday proves that a leopard can’t change its spots. She questioned President Bush’s competence as a leader, and suggested his policy in Iraq is to blame for the loss of American lives. She told reporters "The emperor has no clothes. When are people going to face the reality? Pull this curtain back." And so it is that the liberal Democratic tradition of attacking the Commander in Chief during wartime continues. They really can’t help themselves, can they? She also repeated the outright lie that the president put American young people in harm’s way without sufficient evidence. Isn’t it interesting how the left has no problem with Democratic presidents sending our military on these worthless humanitarian missions and putting them in harm’s way to prop up a dictator (Haiti, 1993,) or on some never-ending escapade to bail out the Euro-weenies (Kosovo?) She also made the laughable assertion that she is concerned about the $200 billion price tag on the war to the American people. Once again, the left does not have the same concern about the 40-year-long War on Poverty, which has now cost trillions of dollars with no end in sight. The longer liberals are out of power, the more hysterical they get. Pelosi is just the latest example. Go sell crazy some place else woman, we’re all stocked up here. — Left-wing liberals are EVERYTHING they accuse the right of being. They are mean, vicious, hateful, greedy, cold-hearted, closed-minded, selfish, intolerant, bigoted and racist. Liberals HATE America!

** RACIST LIBERALS! *** DEMOCRATS: IS THIS RACISM? The New York Democrat made a remark about Mahatma Gandhi at a fund-raiser Saturday. During an event here for Senate candidate Nancy Farmer, Clinton introduced a quote from Gandhi by saying, "He ran a gas station down in St. Louis." After laughter from many in the crowd of at least 200 subsided, the former first lady continued, "No, Mahatma Gandhi was a great leader of the 20th century." LAUGHTER? LAUGHING ABOUT A RACIST JOKE UTTERED BY A SOUTHERN WOMAN? ARE ALL HER AUDIENCES FULL OF RACISTS? SENATOR LOTT, SORRY. DEMOCRATS: WHAT ARE WHITE NIGGERS? "There are white niggers. I’ve seen a lot of white niggers in my time. I’m going to use that word. We just need to work together to make our country a better country, and I’d just as soon quit talking about it so much." -Ex-Klansman Robert Byrd, Senator from West Virginia (D)

SEC Probes Nigeria Bribery Accusations "Cheney was Halliburton’s CEO from 1995 to 2000 – five of the seven years in which the clandestine payments were allegedly made. He resigned in 2000 to be President Bush’s running mate." http://www.forbes.com/home_asia/feeds/ap/2004/06/11/ap1409471.html Another Halliburton Probe Already under fire for its contracts in Iraq, the company now faces a Justice Department inquiry about business done during Dick Cheney’s tenure http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/4163810 The Top 5 Bush Record Scandals Scandal #4: Halliburton and Dick Cheney As the Iraq war began in March 2003, the Pentagon awarded Kellogg Brown and Root (KBR), the construction wing of Halliburton, a no-bid contract to help rebuild Iraqi oil fields and conduct "operation of facilities and distribution of products." The initial deal was thought to be worth as much as $7 billion. In postwar Iraq, Halliburton is the largest private contractor, with potential deals totaling over $11 billion.4 While Vice President Cheney served as chairman and chief executive of Halliburton, the company acquired two subsidiaries, Dresser-Rand and Ingersoll Dresser Pump Co., which had signed contracts to sell oil production equipment to Iraq under the oil-for-food program for more than $73 million.5 The military investigated Halliburton and found that it overcharged for gas it imported into Iraq from Kuwait by as much as $61 million. In March 2003, the Pentagon announced it would withhold nearly $300 million in payments to Halliburton due to the company’s overcharging on food contracts. "Halliburton spokeswoman Wendy Hall said the company disagreed with the decision and hoped to persuade the Pentagon to drop its plans."6 In his retirement package from Halliburton, Cheney was granted deferred compensation that paid out his salary from 1999 over a five-year period and his bonus from that year in 2001. Following his departure from Halliburton, Cheney retained possession of 433,333 options of Halliburton stock. The Cheneys announced they were committing the options to three charities. The Congressional Research Service released a report saying that federal ethics laws consider both Cheney’s deferred compensation and his unexercised stock options as a lingering financial interest in the company.7 http://techrepublic.com.com/5208-6230-0.html?forumID=8&threadID=15843…

The lack of substantiation didn’t bother you right wingers when you kept accusing the Clintons of every crime in the book including murder ( twice ). You kooks didn’t need any evidence or proof to spend millions of dollars on witchhunts of the Clintons and everyone they ever spoke to. And after all the investigations you forced you came up with exactly ZERO on any of the charges you made against them. ZERO ZERO ZERO — I don’t hate Bush … I hate what he DOES … you’re damned right I do.
No .. No .. I < do hate Bush. I hate him BECAUSE of what he does.
So call me a proud Bush Hater.
