Daylight Savings Time

In response to Ken Lewis let me say that the right wing in the
Republican Party came alive while Reagan was President.George
Walker Bush will go down in history as our worst President passing
Hoover who drove America into the Great Depression.Bush invaded
the wrong country,was told by many very smart people not to invade
Iraq yet he lied to the American people,telling them the conflict
would take a few weeks and would solve all our problems.That
few week conflict is now starting on 5 years,with over 3,200
dead American soldiers and thousands coming home with no arms,legs,and
head injuries that will last for years.Bin Laden is still free
and Iran which he should have invaded is on the verge of war.
Countries have been fighting wars in the Middle East for thousands
of years,no one ever wins.Iran and Iraq fought a 10 year war.Who
won? No one won.
Bush was elected in 2000 in a crooked election with brother Jeb
fixing things in Florida along with Katherine Harris.Kerry lost
another close election in 2004 with Ohio fixing their votes with
election machines with no way to recount.All the officials from
that election from the Governor of Ohio all the way down to the
local election people running the show are gone.They were found
to be in scandals bigger than the State of Alaska.Kerry lost
Ohio by 1,204 votes out of millions cast.
Bush has spent so much on the war in Iraq that America has gone
to the dogs.Just ask the people of New Orleans who are still
sitting in the toxic waste dump left after Katrina.Their is no
money to rebuild New Orleans.And as for the Congress helping
our soldiers now in Iraq,they have no choice.But they can cut
off funding for Bush's plan to send 30,000 new troops to Iraq.
He may be a sitting President,but he has little power with the
democrats in power both in the house and senate.
The American people spoke in 2006.They said to George Walker
Bush."End this war now".He has ignored the people and
I predict his failures will cost his party in 2008.
I see Hillary winning with Bill Richardson from New Mexico as
VP.
If our troops are still sitting in the sand by then she will
bring them home.She voted to send them in 2002 which was a mistake,however
no one knew that Bush and Chenney lied even to the Congress on
what was really going on in Iraq.
England will start pulling her troops out of Iraq this May,soon
we will be sitting in the sand pretty much alone.
As for Walter Reed Hospital,its only the tip of the iceberg.Their
are many VA hospitals across America that are under funded.So
again Bush has failed.He has failed in every way and every thing
he has done since taking office in January 2001.That was a very
black day in America.
The American people have been asleep for the last 6 years,but
I believe the sleeping bear has woke up.When a Democrat running
for the Senate in Montana WINS like he did in 2006 the country
is ready for a major change.
Montana is a RED state,very republican,and yet those cattle farmers
said its time for a major change.
And as far as Daylight Savings time,well like I said,every state
can make a choice.They don't have to go along with what Washington
says.Arizona and Hawaii never change their time and planes fly
to both states as far as I know.
When less than 49% of Americans vote in a major election that
means 51% are sitting and watching.
In Iceland 90% of their people voted in the last election.
What does that tell you? I don't have an answer for that question.
But the bottom line is that if we are sending our troops into
hell to fight than we as a country should give those soldiers
the very best care money can buy when they return home.
