Slog - Comments on Still Kicking http://slog.thestranger.com/2007/02/still_kicking All that talk about Bush being radioactive for the GOP during the last election was fun and all, but Dubya still has some life in him: Returning to campaign mode, President Bush on Monday began his fundraising drive to help Republicans regain the power they lost less than four months ago. "My political agenda is this: more Republican governors, take back control of the House and the Senate and make sure we keep the White House in 2008," Bush told cheering donors at a private reception for the Republican Governors Association. The annual event raised a record $10.4 million...

How about the richest 5% owning 60% of the wealth. You don't need approval ratings if you have really rich friends.

Fear of losing (or more like getting whomped!) is the best inspiration to open the pocketbooks...

24 miles is only 4 miles 6 times, of which, 1 mile is one quarter of one of the legs.

Then you just go back to making up your own solos to the song you can't get out of your head.

We need a Death Clock. Time for this Waste of an Administration to be over. I for one will be glad when they are consigned to the wilderness for another 40 years of shame and infamy.

Here is what REALLY perplexes me. When a rich guy defends W, I get it. He is rich, greedy and selfish, so he wants the conservative corporate shill in power. But the average joe that *still* believes in W just kills me. These rubes take delusional to a whole new level...

It makes my jaw drop when I talk to them and they still think that W is great, that the war is justified, etc. And these are educated people - masters level and above!

I just shake my head and pity them. They remind me of the WWII Japanese soldiers that were found on desreted islands 20 years after the war ended that still believed it was going on. How sad.

It's because the secret wish of almost every W lovin' GOP'er is to someday join that vaunted 5% cited by him@1. That's the pipe dream they've been fed: "keep votin' fer us, and someday YOU TOO may be richer than midas!"

Of course it's all just a big sham, but then - what H.L. Mencken said.

Don't flame me, my mind can occupy two diametrically opposite views about the current president at the same time.
