My Dime -- dubya and gang just keep lying and lying and lying -- by now it is abundantly clear that that's all they've got, that they will not change from that approach -- we are now into the stretch run, the final two months -- let the festivities commence in earnest -- much more than just 4 more years of bad governance is at stake if dubya stays in office
even though, me, you, americans, and mankind, will frequently stumble and bumble along the path of daily life, at every moment, doing God's will is always the goal......in a manner, you might say it's the lead item in the constitution, regarding the civilizing of any people, and the civilization of any nation
in order to form a more perfect Union
then our founders laid out how
establish justice, insure domestic tranquility, provide for the common defense, promote the general welfare, and secure the blessings of liberty
this is just what's being accomplished in iraq, but unlike our revolution, where we fought it ourselves, we have helped a people to help themselves to the potentials of liberty.........the time was right, and it was the right thing to do...........there are no guarantees, but the potentials for iraq, and the region, are as great, as the nobility of what the u.s. is doing
i realize that i veered slightly away from your medicare post, but who give a crap about healthcare bureaucrats wasting our money........and besides, if you need to complain about it, then call you're senator or representative, because they're the ones responsible for it
Democrat John Kerry rebuked President George W Bush yesterday for trying to "bamboozle" US voters and burying the largest increase in Medicare history with an announcement at the start of a long holiday weekend.
Kerry questioned the timing of the Bush administration's announcement late on Friday that older Americans will have to pay about 17 per cent more next year for their government-run health insurance, the largest increase in Medicare's history.
"He promised again a couple of nights ago to strengthen Medicare," Kerry told a rally at a baseball stadium in Akron.
The centres for Medicaid and Medicare Services announced at the start of the Labour Day weekend that the elderly will pay $78.20 (BD29.4) per month for non-hospital services, up $11.60 from $66.60 this year.
"The news is hidden but it isn't going to be hidden for long on Americans, because what they did yesterday was this president made history twice," Kerry said.
"They're trying to fake it to the American people," he said. "They're trying to bamboozle you and throw around so much mud that you can't really break through and grab onto the things that are real in your lives."
Kerry said that with the release of anemic August jobs growth, Bush would become the first president since Herbert Hoover "to be absolutely certain on Election Day to have not created one single new job." "And ... medical premiums go up for senior citizens 17pc, the largest increase in Medicare premiums for 40 years," Kerry said.
"Who are they going to send the bill to? They're going to send the bill to our senior citizens, they're going to send the bill to all of you."
