Time for Bush and Cheney to Apologize

Time for Bush and Cheney to Apologize

Time for Bush and Cheney to Resign!




Now that Kerry apologized for his botched joke that may have offended our troops it is time for Bush and Cheney to follow suit. In the case of the President and Vice President the list of things they need to apologize for is much longer:

Sending our troops to their death and injury in a war that was unjustified and that has not made America safer.

Sending our military to war without the troop strength needed and without the needed equipment.

Causing the death of over 2,800 brave troops and the wounding of over 20,000 others.

Over stretching the military causing multiple troop deployments and the over use of Guard and Reserve forces

Failing to enforce our laws.

Failing to protect our border and ports.

Failure to make our trade policy fair to American workers.

Failure to move us toward energy independence.

Failure to find solutions to the funding of Social Security and Medicare.

Failure to fund his No Child Left Behind Program.

Creating an annual budget deficit and increasing the National debt by $3 Trillion Dollars.

Creating the most political strife among Americans since our Civil War.

Creation of ill will among almost EVERY country in the world toward our foreign policy.

Ignoring the needs of the poor and to help rebuild the Gulf after the worst natural disaster in our history.

Appointing people that were unqualified and corrupt which has resulted in major misuse of taxpayer money.

Attempting to undermine the authority of Congress by signing statements and failing to enforce the laws passed by congress.

Indifference to millions of Americans who are losing their health care.

Shifting the burden from the wealthy to the middle income Americans.

Favoring the interests of Big Business over the welfare of the average American.

Using the classification process to cover up things that are not security issues but things Bush did not want to become known.

Failure to meet the commitments Bush made when serving as a member of the National Guard and the failure of Cheney to serve in our military.

I said the insurance costs are skyrocketing. If you say that is not correct in Florida you are a liar. Today alone All State requested a 75% increase. Most companies have had 35-60% increases. The growing insurance is one of the major issues in the race for Governor as are the increasing Real Estate Taxes. The paper is full of stories of how businesses are being driven out of business. One local appliance dealer had his Real Estate taxes increase from $100,000 to $139,000 in one year.


You do know that the insurance rates have nothing to do with the economy at all. The rates have jumped in response to Katrina. The insurance companies have to make up for the payouts from this last year.

If you’re wanting to blame Bush for the creation of the Katrina Hurricane, it would not surprise me with your track record.

You avoid the point. The average person is experiencing cost increases like Insurance, Energy, Health, and Food. These cost increases are eating up any wage gains and is WHY the Census Dept has documented that Average Weekly Wage after these increases is DOWN. Thus the Great economy that Bush tells us about is not great for the majority of Americans. I did not blame Bush for Insurance rates from going up just showing that his claim that because the stock market and corporate profits are up and that we are creating lower paying jobs does NOT equate to a better life for the average family!
