The october un-surprise
will voters finally hold bush accountable?

"Republicans should be feeling desperate right now, because if Democrats take the house, they will suddenly have the power of subpoena and the authority to create their own committees. ... Instead of what happened subsequent to the 1994 Republican “revolution” when Republicans tried to impeach Clinton on the flimsy grounds of lying about a personal matter, a 2006 Democratic majority will allow Democrats to investigate Bush’s serious abuses of the executive branch. Naturally, these inquiries will begin with whether Bush sold everyone a pack of lies to launch his war of choice on Iraq. But they will not end there, and in the process it is likely that many Republican heads will roll. They cannot help but hope that Karl Rove has done his homework and will somehow pull off his most brilliant October surprise."

March on Washington D.C.
Organized by United for Peace and Justice

It was a very good day. People came from all over the country in busloads to protest Bush's illegal and immoral war. When we arrived at 12:00, the march was just beginning and when we had to catch our bus at 5:00 the march was still going.

This has been described by the news media as the largest U.S. protest against the war. Protesters were everywhere, covering so many square blocks, it was impossible to even guess how many hundreds of thousands of people showed up.

Second Anniversary of Invasion of Iraq
NYC Protest: March from harlem to central Park
No, there weren't nearly as many people as in the February 2003 protests, but still a lot of people remembered. Too bad that the attention span of so many people is so short. Those of us that showed up remembered that Bush simply lied his way into this illegal war. We just couldn't let that go.

When we got to 102nd Street, we marched up a large (by Manhattan standards) hill . It was beautiful look back and see that our march easily filled 5 city blocks. How many people is that? The news media simply said "hundreds".

The general public was not allowed on most of the parade route, making access for face to face dissent difficult. And still protest was rampant in Washington during Bush's second coronation. Bush is the most protested President ever. (News Story)

At a rally in McPherson Square, Granny D (pictured at right) pointed out to the crowd that most of them were much younger than her and that while we are all still alive it is incumbant on us all to keep up the fight. Granny D turned 95 on January 21st.

Myths about George W. Bush exposed
When you compare Bush's campaign rhetoric with the facts, it's clear that Bush's public personae is just as out of touch with reality as he is.

THE Myth: Bush is tough on terrorism
THE REALITY:
(excerpt)...By the end of 2004, the war with Iraq will have cost U.S. taxpayers nearly $200 billion dollars. Meanwhile, the Department of Homeland Security was only given a budget of $27 billion, in the form of programs most of which were already in place before 9/11.... MORE...

Wife: "Honey, I told you to stop smoking. The house is on fire."
Husband: "Like I said — don’t panic. All I’ve got to do is call my friend George. The fire will be out in no time."

"...If Richard Clarke’s allegations were surprising to many people, it should be even more astounding for them to learn that the Bush team actively worked to block investigations into terrorism which might have stopped the 9/11 attacks. And it should come as even more of a complete shock, that at the behest of their cronies in the oil industry, the Bush team re-opened diplomatic negotiations with the Taliban which continued until just five weeks before the twin towers fell. ..."
