George Bush To George Bush – Good Job On Getting Bin Laden

In an interview to commemorate September 11th attacks in New York, George Bush credited George Bush for the killing of Osama Bin Laden.

“The work that was done by intelligence communities during my presidency was part of putting together the puzzle that enabled us to see the full picture of how bin Laden was communicating and eventually where he was hiding,” he said. “It began the day after 9/11.”

Although Bush and his brainwashed supporters would go to the grave believing this, the facts just don’t support their position and even George Bush himself showed his carefree attitude when questioned about Bin Laden’s whereabouts.

In 2006, Bush told reporters that getting Bin Laden was not on his ‘to-do’ list, saying, “I truly am not that concerned about him. I am deeply concerned about Iraq, I really just don’t spend that much time on him, to be honest with you.”

But that was then, and this is now,  and with the new administration came a new purpose. That purpose resulted in the capture and killing of America’s most wanted terrorist, and now, Bush is ready to go down in history as the president responsible for getting Osama.

Can you say “delusional” ?

Did Rick Perry Kill An Innocent Man?

During the recent Republican Presidential debate, Rick Perry was asked if he struggled to sleep at night with the idea that any one of the 234 death row inmates the state of Texas kills every year,  might have been innocent. Perry answered that the courts in Texas have a great record for quality convictions, so he had no problem ordering 234 executions over his 11 years as Governor.

“No sir, I’ve never struggled with that at all,” he said. “The state of Texas has a very thoughtful, a very clear process in place of which — when someone commits the most heinous of crimes against our citizens, they get a fair hearing, they go through an appellate process, they go up to the Supreme Court of the United States, if that’s required.”

“If you come into our state and you kill one of our children, you kill a police officer, you’re involved with another crime and you kill one of our citizens, you will face the ultimate justice in the State of Texas. And that is you will be executed.”

Exactly how sound is this ‘thoughtful and clear’ process in Texas anyway? Apparently, not so clear. In fact, it’s quite foggy.

Over the last 9 years of Perry’s 11 years in power, DNA evidence has exonerated 41 prisoners convicted in that thoughtful, clear Texas system. That’s 41 people who went to prison, and were later found innocent of a crime they had been convicted of.

And what’s even worse, in 2004,  Perry allowed the execution of a death row inmate named Cameron Todd Willingham. Mr Willingham was accused and convicted – using that thoughtful, clear process – of setting a fire that killed his three daughters. He was put to death, although evidence, scientists and forensics experts doubted the prosecution’s case against him. Rick Perry even went as far as shutting down an official investigation into the case and execution.

The fact that Rick Perry stopped the investigation is proof that valid questions about the execution were being asked, which would also suggest that maybe, just maybe an innocent man was killed under Perry’s watch. But why would Perry lose sleep over that? He is after all, a modern day Republican governor and doesn’t believe in all that scientific mumbo-jumbo, forensic-smorensic nonsense.

Hang ’em high! Yee-hah!!

Scott Brown Calls For Deportation Of Onyango Obama

“Well, yeah. He’s here illegally. He’s obviously broken the law. I don’t know enough about the details of the case, but, God, he’s been running around for how long now? Let him go through the process and see what happens.”

That was Scott Brown’s response when asked in an interview about President Obama’s uncle. Onyango Obama was arrested last Wednesday for drunk driving after almost running his SUV into a police car in Massachusetts. Scott Brown, the Republican congressman for Massachusetts is calling for Onyango’s deportation.

President Obama has said that he had no idea his uncle was here illegally, and will allow immigration to handle the situation. White House spokesman Jay Carney said,

“We expect it to be treated — and I refer you to ICE [Immigration and Customs Enforcement] and DHS [the Department of Homeland Security] — like any other immigration case.

After being arrested and asked if he would like to call someone, Onyango Obama reportedly said, “I think I will call the White House.” He has pled not guilty to the charges, and is being held in Plymouth County, Mass., jail. His lawyer has said he will fight any deportation proceedings.

Court Rules In Favor Of Healthcare Reform In Virginia

You can once again breathe a sigh of relief. The 4th circuit panel in Virginia has ruled that President Obama’s healthcare reform, better known as The Affordable Healthcare Act, is legal. To the millions of Americans who will benefit from this healthcare policy, and to the rest of America who would not have to flip the bill for the uninsured getting their care in emergency rooms, this is great news.

The lawsuit was brought to the 4th circuit panel by Virginia’s Attorney General Ken Cuccinelli, one of the most vocal opposition to the health care law.

Cuccinelli sued on the grounds that enforcing the mandate would violate Virginia law. As Congress moved closer to passing healthcare reform, Virginia enacted a law that says state residents can’t be forced to purchase insurance.

But the 4th Circuit panel said Virginia does not have standing to sue over the mandate because it lacks a “personal stake” in the issue.

Although this is a temporary victory for America, Republican governors nationwide are determined to take this case all the way to the Supreme Court.
