Barbara's Daily BuzzFlash Minute for May 20, 2009

BARBARA'S DAILY BUZZFLASH MINUTE

Hmm, seems the CIA has made yet another error about their briefings. Who you gonna believe -- the spooks whose business is lies, or Rep. Obey, Senator Jay Rockefeller, former Senator Bob Graham, and Speaker Nancy Pelosi? I choose Obey, Rockefeller, Graham, and Pelosi!

Well now, there is one lone Repuglican who can obviously think: "John Weaver: GOP "Headed For A Blowout" In 2012 If Cheney, Limbaugh, Palin Lead" Just the thought of "Cheney, Limbaugh, and Palin" leading this country is the scariest of all nightmares!

"Politico misrepresents Gallup poll as finding majority 'are anti-abortion.'" No surprises here -- most everything we've seen and heard from "Politico" has a right-wing skew.

Regarding Dick Cheney's newfound penchant for the television cameras: "'It doesn't hurt us, it helps us,” House Minority Leader John Boehner said on CNN’s 'State of the Union,' calling Cheney a 'big member in our party.'” I rest my case regarding the intelligence of the Repuglican leadership!

The Repuglican Party is failing and their leadership is in disarray!  They continue to practice the dirty politics of mean and nasty, they're so entrenched in awful that they are unaware their tactics are their downfall! One of their biggest mistakes has been thinking the American people are gullible and as dim-witted as the Repuglican leadership!

Unless and until all the people associated with torturing human beings are held responsible for what they've done we will never be able to claim the moral high road again. They can be called detainees, war prisoners, terrorists, bad guys, evil guys whatever moniker you want to attach, they are still human beings.  Frankly torturing children is an abomination and recently we've been told "Children raped by American soldiers in front of their mothers - Pentagon has tapes." This is the most disgusting horror to date! As far as I'm concerned, nothing Dick Cheney could say would justify this abomination -- my God, "raping children" and "in front of their mothers" and Cheney's running around verbalizing how proud he is of his tenure! This is sick!
