The neocons are turning on George W. Bush like a pack of junkyard dogs, snarling and rending the hapless, drunken midget’s entrails. First there was the deliberate leaking of the January Vanity Fair article, Neo Culpa, a week before the elections, wherein such neocon gurus as Richard Perle and Michael Ledeen and Ken “Cakewalk” Adelman savaged George W. Bush and Donald Rumsfeld, calling them “the most incompetent national security team ever” and accusing Bush of surrounding himself with “women who are in love with him,” including his wife and former Supreme Court nominee Harriet Miers and Condoleezza Rice.

Now the latest neocon rat to jump the sinking Bush ship is none other than Mr. pro-Israel himself, Rush Limbaugh. In his November 8th broadcast Rush astounded millions of listeners by going off on an anti-Bush tirade that would have done credit to Cindy Sheehan.

According to a transcript on Limbaugh’s web site, Rush roared into the mike, accusing Bush of getting ready to betray Republican values such as the hated (by Republicans) minimum wage bill. “I’m trying to prepare you here for what is coming,” the gibbering Limbaugh babbled. “You can look for there to be a minimum wage bill.” (Oh, horrors, no! Not a MINIMUM WAGE BILL!!) (more…)

Over the past twenty years or so, it has become almost impossible to make any sense out of election night television coverage. Instead of simply reporting the vote totals in the various races, the networks and the cable channels now inflict hour after hour of babbling “pundits” on their viewers, trying to explain it all away. These talking heads contribute nothing except adding to the confusion. This is probably deliberate on the media’s part. The Establishment doesn’t want Americans thinking about the actual results they see on TV, but wants viewers distracted and bewildered and amused and amazed by all the hoopla, so they don’t catch the magician’s distraction which makes their votes disappear. In many cases nowadays voters never see any actual election results on TV on election night except for small little bands across the bottom of the screen that zip by too fast.

The Republicans are trying several new tricks to restrict Democrat votes and steal the election, aside from any tricks they may be pulling with the voting machines themselves. A number of states which have high percentages of Democrats are closing their polls early this year, at 6 PM. Two examples of this are Indiana and Kentucky, states where the Democrat challenge to the Republican House of Representatives is strong. By closing early, the GOP-controlled Election Boards insure that many people who have jobs and who were unable to take off during the day to vote, will not be able to do so. There are three key House seats at stake in Indiana, and if Republicans win any of them it’s probably a good sign that the early poll closing and maybe some voting-machine diddling tactics have triumphed.

There’s been a flurry of news articles in the last two weeks, which have left many Americans thoroughly confused. Less than two weeks ago, opinion polls came out showing Democrats with a crushing double-digit lead. Resentment over the Iraq War and Bush’s “Stay the Course” policy was at an all time high. The Mark Foley Gay sex scandal and the apparent cover-up by high ranking Republicans didn’t help either. Despite all this, the neocons have been digging in their heels and insisting that they can still hold both the House and the Senate. A few recent headlines are now claiming that the Republicans are “closing the gap” and may hold onto one or both houses. Is this merely a ploy to keep people watching the election coverage or is there anything to this?

The unfortunate part of the 2006 election is that most Americans support Republican issues such as reducing taxes, traditional moral values and limited government while the neocons who control the GOP don’t. The neocons have hijacked the Republican Party, shredded the Constitution at an alarming rate, passed a bill approving torture and they plan to keep us in Iraq forever. The neocons have alienated moderate voters and disgusted traditional conservatives to the point, where many of them will stay home on election day or vote for a third party. The neocons are certain to cheat in the 2006 election. The big question is how much cheating can the neocons get away with? A number of states have added paper trails to their electronic voting machines since 2004, but it’s not clear how much fraud is still possible.

Here’s how we can tell whether or not the November 7th elections are rigged: if U. S. Senator Rick Santorum (R.-Pa) gets re-elected, we’ll know the fix is in. Rick Santorum is the ultimate Congressional neocon. He never met a war against a Muslim nation he didn’t like. He has praised that braying neocon jackass Sean Hannity as “our greatest American.” He compares putting a Santorum for Senate bumper sticker on your car as equivalent to “fighting for your country in Iraq or Afghanistan.” He babbles about the illegal and criminally bungled invasion of Iraq as “retaliation for 9/11,” even though most neocons now quietly admit that there was no connection of any kind. He has continued to back the disastrous Iraq invasion to the hilt even though many of his Congressional colleagues in the GOP as well as an increasing number of both retired and active duty generals are saying out loud what most of America already know full well, that the whole thing has become a catastrophe and that George W. Bush is a moron. (more…)

It has been predicted for the past few weeks that Saddam Hussein would be sentenced to death just prior to the November election. It was a foregone conclusion that Hussein would be executed even before he was dragged out of his spider hole and taken prisoner. Announcing the death sentence could inflame some of the insurgents into retaliating against our troops. This raises the question: Did Karl Rove and the neocons choose to announce Hussein’s death penalty in the hope of getting a few more votes at the cost of the lives of US soldiers?

Some especially naive individuals may assert that the new Iraqi government is controlling Saddam’s trial and that this announcement and our November election are coincidentally happening at the same time. I guess that would be the same Iraqi government that asked us to leave their country and we simply ignored them. Yup, that’s a government with a lot of sovereignty. And don’t forget that Saddam was actually held OUTSIDE Iraq for a considerable period of time after he was first captured. Perhaps it was feared that he might be freed by the Iraqi rebels and then we’d have to spend another couple years looking for him. If Saddam were on trial in America, he would already have grounds for a mistrial given the considerable number of defense lawyers, who have wound up gunned down during the trial so far. (more…)

For the past few decades the US has helped Israel beat down any of its Muslim neighbors, who looked like they may want to attain nuclear parity with the Zionist bandit state. There are literally dozens of nations in the world who operate nuclear reactors, but only a handful of these nations have gone on to spend billions of dollars to develop nuclear bombs. The one thing which can motivate a government to spend the money to try to build a nuclear weapon is an outside threat. Thanks to Bush’s preemptive war on Iraq, many nations now see the US as a rogue nation and a very real outside threat. The best way to avoid a nuclear build up is to maintain peace around the world. By invading Iraq, the United States has inspired six Arab nations to go ahead and develop nuclear programs, including even some friendly Arab nations.

A recent news article reports “THE SPECTRE of a nuclear race in the Middle East was raised yesterday when six Arab states announced that they were embarking on programmes to master atomic technology. The move, which follows the failure by the West to curb Iran’s controversial nuclear programme, could see a rapid spread of nuclear reactors in one of the world’s most unstable regions, stretching from the Gulf to the Levant and into North Africa. The countries involved were named by the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) as Algeria, Egypt, Morocco and Saudi Arabia. Tunisia and the UAE have also shown interest. All want to build civilian nuclear energy programmes, as they are permitted to under international law. But the sudden rush to nuclear power has raised suspicions that the real intention is to acquire nuclear technology which could be used for the first Arab atomic bomb.” (more…)

In the last week before the 2006 election, the neocons have found a last straw to grab onto thanks to the blundering of John F. Kerry. Will Kerry’s insensitive flub about uneducated Americans winding up in Iraq make any real difference or will a continuing chain of neocon blunders be remembered by voters on election day?

We have endured a pointless war with thousands of dead and tens of thousands of maimed Americans, a military strained to the breaking point and an economy that has outsourced millions of manufacturing jobs and seen Ford and GM spiral toward bankruptcy. Real unemployment in “uncooked” figures is around ten per cent. We have badly maintained freeways and massive power outages every summer. Hundreds of thousands of black New Orleans refugees have spread crime in every city foolish enough to accept them. New Orleans is still not rebuilt over a year later. An attack on Iran the day after the election is an alarming possibility. Our government has given itself the authority to spy on us without warrants (even though previous presidents during world wars did not need this much power). Our government now can torture people and the president can declare any one of us an “enemy combatant” who could be dragged out of his home in the middle of the night and “disappeared” into one of those foreign prisons, where torture is commonplace.

Our freedoms are being erased with lightning speed. While it may have seemed like a good idea to white conservative patriots to have an all Republican government, we have seen with our own eyes abuses which are leading rapidly to tyranny. Perhaps we need to go back to a gridlocked government to slow down the loss of liberty. (more…)
