Barbara's Daily BuzzFlash Minute for August 12, 2008

BARBARA'S DAILY BUZZFLASH MINUTE

If anyone ever wondered exactly where the problems in Georgia, the country, originated, it would behoove them to read this enlightening article!!! “Exactly” Obviously the old school radical Repuglicans in America are not satisfied with simply reigniting a “cold war,” nooo -- they want to turn it into an all out shoot ‘em up bang bang drop the bomb WAR! You can depend on the Repuglicans in general and John McCain in particular to continue a foreign policy of eternal war!!!!! A vote for John McCain is a vote for war without end!!!

US Surges $11 Billion in Arms Sales to Iraq. … "The sale not only carries implications for the balance of power in the region, but also raises important questions about oversight, accountability, and transparency …" When is America going to realize that true "patriotism" flew out the window when the Repuglicans flew in??? When will Americans come to their senses and see that the only thing that matters is the "BOTTOM LINE," "MONEY," "PAYOLA," and "GREED" -- that's the priority for Repuglicans! Domestic or foreign, it all boils down to making a buck!

“VELSHI: ... Look at that, $115.20. Oil is a little higher than that … right now … the issue here to discuss is that we seem to be in a different range than we've been in the past. We've been at $135 to $140, $130 to $135. We were way down from that and that is very, very encouraging … Gas is $3.81 a gallon. Still high but a lot lower than it's been. $4.11 is what the high was.” My, my, my it’s amazing how the price of oil can fluctuate per the whims of Repuglican oil men and the needs of their “chosen one” during an election cycle! Because he isn’t that talented and he certainly isn’t all that interesting or inspiring, I cannot nor will I compare John McCain to Moses, but everytime I have to fill my tank with gasoline, I can damn sure compare John McCain to George Bush, and both of them to the devil incarnate!!!

“On the August 10 edition of ABC's This Week, ABC News political analyst Cokie Roberts criticized Sen. Barack Obama -- who was born in Hawaii -- for ‘going off this week to a vacation in Hawaii,’ which she said ‘does not make any sense whatsoever.’ Roberts stated: ‘I know his grandmother lives in Hawaii and I know Hawaii is a state, but it has the look of him going off to some sort of foreign, exotic place.’" Much ado has been made over Obama taking a vacation and in Hawaii no less! What the blather heads fail to mention in their snide criticisms and spiteful commentary, is the fact that John McCain takes every weekend off for R&R due to the vigors of campaigning! Actually one week is nothing, when compared to every weekend during a campaign!!!

Winning the popular vote is not really “worrisome”! Repuglican election shenanigans and Repuglican-controlled black-box voting machines are the things we have to worry about in election 08! The Repuglicans managed to steal the past two Presidential elections from the Democrats, and if John McCain appears to win the November 08 election, you’ll definitely know it is theft number 3!!!!

Countdown: Nothing About The FBI’s Anthrax Story Adds Up. NOTHING about George Bush, Dick Cheney, and the entire Bush/Cheney administration adds up! America has lost ground in every nook, corner, and cranny of democracy since these guys stole the presidency!

And the truth is -- “Warrior John McCain: Far More Dangerous Than Bush … McCain's insistence on ‘winning in Iraq,’ remaining there ‘until Iraq is secure,’ and ‘bomb-bomb-bombing Iran’ reveal the same mindset that made General Power so dangerous. Caught up in his fear that a military failure would encourage America's enemies, McCain can see no alternative to military victory, no matter what the cost. This might be a laudable spirit to drum into raw military recruits, but could prove extremely self-destructive in a commander in chief.”
