The Republican Party pays women and minorities less. When asked why, Dick Cheney said "it's because white guys deserve it more. Women are supposed to stay at home, and n*ggers are destined to be slaves". He went one to say gay people should be executed. Charming party. Anyone who is a Republican is anti- women, gays, minorities, and poor. Republicans need to be charged with war crimes. |

pathetic. Dick Cheney never said any such thing. In addition, George W. Bush has appointed more women and minorities to high-level positions than any previous president. Didn't you notice that Colin Powell and Condileeza Rice are black? Haven't you noticed the huge number of women, Hispanics, Asians and Blacks in the Bush Administration? Obviously not. Clearly your sole purpose is to spread lies in order to stir up hatred. What a charming person YOU are.
This was my first visit to this website. It's called "factnet" and I thought I was going to see a lot of great information. I see now that this is nothing more than a pathetic public forum for people to spread lies and discord.
It has NOTHING to do with facts. |

Appointed Colin "Uncle Tom", and Condoleeza "I screwed the first President Bush" Rice isn't what I would call appointing lots of minorities and women. |

STOP THE REPUBLICAN DISINFORMATION
Stop Sinclari Broadcasting Co.
from using public airwaves to give Bush a "free" 40 minute political attack ad:
Tigger
(Subject: Stop Sinclair's anti-Kerry smear attacks
Dear Shirley,
The Sinclair Broadcasting Group, a conservative broadcasting company that runs television stations in dozens of major television markets nationwide, has ordered its stations to preempt other programming and air an anti-Kerry program days before Election Day.
The so-called "documentary," called "Stolen Honor," was written, produced, and funded by extreme right-wing activists. Sinclair is using its reach to broadcast a blatantly political -- and false -- message while disguising it as "news."
And this isn't the first time the Sinclair corporate office has compromised the journalistic integrity of its stations. It ordered ABC affiliates not to air a nonpartisan tribute to our fallen U.S. soldiers, fearing the consequences for George W. Bush.
It has refused to run a DNC ad that challenged Bush for citing faulty intelligence about Iraq. And Sinclair and its executives have contributed thousands of dollars to Republican causes -- and the CEO has given the maximum donation to Bush-Cheney 04.
Take Action
Sinclair Broadcasting is using its television stations to disguise right-wing smears against John Kerry as news. The Democratic Party has filed a complaint with the Federal Elections Commission to protest this illegal corporate contribution to the Bush campaign.
But we need your help to stop this right-wing attack on John Kerry. An overwhelming outcry from the public may be the only way to stop Sinclair from forcing these smears onto the airwaves.
There are two ways that we need to take action immediately:
Call Sinclair's affiliates. Click here for a list of phone numbers for Sinclair stations.
http://www.democrats.org/sinclair/index.html
Call them to let them know what you think about their decision to air untrue smears about John Kerry just before Election Day.
Sign our petition. Click here to sign our petition demanding that Sinclair take their negative smears off the air.

The Bush administration "tracs" newspapers and
individual reporters assigning them a number on a
"pro-administration" scale. It also produces illegal propaganda in which actors pretend to be reporters.
Now, if an individual is persuaded to believe a
manipulative propagandist, the shame is not wholly their own. But when a newpaper endorses an administration engaged in media intimidation and manipulation, the appeasment must be noted.
Trained (and I mean educated) journalists can spot propaganda and gangland tactics and should expose them, shining a light on those who manipulate the vulnerable and intimidate reality-oriented teachers, reporters, generals and spys who spoil illusion.
Appropriately enough, Bush has "lead" a rally at World Arena in Colorado Springs. The chief priest of panic says, "If we show uncertainty or weakness in this decade, this world will drift toward tragedy." Bah. This combination of "certainty" and fear is the signature of a cult.
The most basic principles journalism, communications, and linguistics suggest that a newspaper endorsing Bush is no newspaper at all. |

If you're gonna propagate propaganda, please get your facts straight. This was not produced and written by extreme right-wing activists, it was done by a group of men of who have an ABSOLUTE legitimate gripe with Kerry, who have this thing in America called "freedom of speech" and, after having served their country, certainly have a right to exercise this freedom. These are men who served their country with honor, men who hold the highest honor this nation can bestow on a serviceman, were held POW's while undergoing strenuous, constant torture to not say the things traitor Kerry was spoutin' off.
Were you whinin' when Fat-Man Moore put out his movie of lies...or how about that infamous website Moveon.org that has compared Bush with Hitler, any gripes from you on that? Or how about Dan Blather when he aired his propaganda, were you outraged?
Oh, I know, it's ok to attack the president so much, but let the tables be turned and, oh my, it's unfair, blah blah blah. We have freedom of speech and of the press under our Constitution, but your answer is censorship b/c somebody's saying somethin' you don't like. John Kerry was offered the opportunity - in an equal amount of time - to respond on Sinclair but said no. Is this really unfair in your mind? John Kerry can run from his past, but he can't hide.
I, for one, am glad Sinclair has the guts to air this piece so people can get a perspective from men who deserve our ear. If you don't like it, click it to CNN or your soaps...this is America after all, and you have that choice.
To demindapublican who called the President the chief priest of panic, how soon we forget, huh? There's this little nuisance out their called terrorists who have declared war on the US and would love nothing more than to kill as many of us as they can. But really, what's to fear, huh? Where's the threat, right? Tell that to your cowardarly democratic senator from MN who told his staff to go home and locked his office up b/c of this silly nuisance..after all, they might throw a rock or something and bust a window out...stupid nuisances...er, I mean terrorists.
Stickin' your head in the sand and playing an ostrich isn't gonna make this nuisance go away and only exposes your backside...hmmm, wonder what's gonna happen next? Our threat to this country is real and if you ain't scared yet, you will be when some nasty biological or chemical agent is turned loose and lots of people start dying. After all, this is their goal, and we all know they're willing to die for their "holy war."..oh, those stupid nuisances!! |

The police yellow tape that says "Police Line, Do Not Cross" now says it in Spanish too, in some towns, but in Spanish it translates "Police Line, Please Do Not Cross"
I don't think the Iraq thing is about oil for Haliburton at all but it is a wise thing to have a military presence in a place that will give America control in the east where Islam is powerful and over oil access when we have been attacked and threatened by Islamic Eastern extremests |

By the way, the jobs being created to replace high paying jobs are low paying. Tell a computer programmer who lost his job to India he should work at WalMart, which has a history of abusing employees (and paying non white/non male employees less). |

First, it was the black people are not human! Treating them like or worse than animals! then it was as Author Edwin Black puts it "War Against the Weak" those 60,000 American degraded to humans that are not fit to breed! And now it is government mind control there is so much evidence of this on the internet I can not believe they are there are people who do not believe this that this is kept so quiet that the Christian church fails its duty:
Ephesians 5:11 And have no fellowship with the unfruitful works of darkness, but rather reprove them.
12 For it is a shame even to speak of those things which are done of them in secret.
And it is sick to hear of anyone in congress or the presidency to declare I am a Christian, and not openly speak against this government mind control human guinne pigs at without people's knowledge and consent. Cold blooded murder of Americans! Americans being tortured harassed and no one cares in the entire government! And they dare now cry free Iraq! All those people need are the LORD JESUS and they will be fine, all the world does not need America to live the good life, they need salvation, the good life with the LORD JESUS! This what I see, they are murdering, making people sick, harassing Americans and our government has the nerve to argue about human rights in Iraq? I say Free Americans!!! No matter who does mind control the government, or others
Mind Control is spell casting Deuteronomy 18:9-14. |

Jeff Lucey returned from Iraq a changed man. Then he killed himself. By Irene Sege, Globe Staff | March 1, 2005 BELCHERTOWN -- Less than three weeks before he committed suicide, Jeffrey Lucey, lance corporal in the Marine Reserves, veteran of Operation Iraqi Freedom, totaled his parents' Nissan Altima. He wasn't drunk when he ran the car off the road and landed between two trees, which was surprising given how much he used alcohol to dull the torment roiling inside his head. But he'd taken the Klonopin prescribed to ease his anxiety.
So when Kevin and Joyce Lucey visit their only son's grave, they drive his Hyundai, with the Marine Corps decal Jeff put on the back window and the Marine seal he affixed to the bumper and the ''Support Our Troops" magnet and Kerry-Edwards sticker they added after he died. They pass yellow ribbons still fluttering from trees in front of the house where they raised three children, and when they arrive at the Ludlow cemetery, an expanse of small, fluttering American flags tells them Jeff finds his final rest in the company of scores of other veterans.
Jeffrey Michael Lucey was 23 and suffering from post-traumatic stress disorder when he hanged himself with a garden hose in the cellar of his family's home last June 22. His family shares his story in hope of helping those, among the hundreds of thousands who have served in Iraq and Afghanistan, who will battle similar demons.
''He wasn't an important person, but he was very important to us," his mother says. ''What's important is what happened to him when he came back."
On the TV in the Lucey living room, beside a teddy bear Marine, is a photograph of Jeff as a Cub Scout, his face impish enough it's possible to imagine the day, when he was about 13, that his father came home to find him tobogganing off the roof into deep snow. On the piano is a prom picture of him and Julie Proulx, his girlfriend since high school.
''He was your everyday kid," says Kevin Lucey, a 54-year-old therapist for sex offenders. ''He wasn't a saint. He snuck out of his window. He'd be meeting up with his friends, and we thought he was sleeping. He started calming down when he and Julie started going out."
Jeff joined the Marine Reserves in 1999, in part to pay for schooling his parents were prepared to finance. ''He also wanted to prove something to himself," Kevin says. ''He knew the Marines were the toughest branch."
In May 2000, Jeff left his Western Massachusetts hometown for boot camp, then was assigned to the Sixth Motor Transport Battalion in New Haven. In January 2003, the unit was activated. Lucey arrived in Kuwait in February, in advance of a war he opposed. In a tiny notebook with a camouflage print cover, he kept a journal that ends as the invasion of Iraq begins. 'Emotions such as anger towards our anything but wise commander in chief for ripping us out of our daily lives and pasteing us into a waste depository named Kuwait," he wrote on March 8, 2003, ''or pain and heartache from missing the loved ones we left behind and of course the depression that forms when these two emotions are mixed together. With the deep thought associated with depression blooms uncertainty. Uncertainty can drive any man crazy, the uncertainty about what's going to change about your life upon your arrival home." The journal ends March 20, apparently in Iraq, with news of a scud missile landing nearby. ''The noise was just short of blowing out your eardrums. Everyone's heart truly skipped a beat and the reality of where we are and what's truly happening hit home," he wrote. ''We now just had a gas alert and it is past midnight. We will not sleep. Nerves are on edge."
In July 2003 -- after serving in Iraq in a light transport company that his comrades say ferried such cargo as ammunition, food, and Iraqi prisoners of war -- Lucey, tan, thinner, and smiling, arrived by bus at the Marine reservist center in New Haven.
''We felt so good," his father says. ''He survived."
Although it's unclear what proportion of Iraq veterans will suffer from post-traumatic stress disorder, the numbers will undoubtedly surge as more troops come home. A 2003 study published in The New England Journal of Medicine last summer found that about 15 percent of returning soldiers have PTSD, anxiety, or depression. Among Vietnam veterans, 25 to 30 percent developed PTSD. ''In the nature of the disease, onset is delayed," says Dr. Thomas Burke, director of mental health policy for the Department of Defense. ''It remains to be seen whether early intervention and the treatments that are available today will catch some of it early and result in these vets having only 15 percent."
The department counts 32 suicides among American forces while serving in Iraq and another 10 in Afghanistan. How many killed themselves after returning home is harder to pinpoint, but the Army and Marines report at least 29 have.
Beginning last March, as winter gave way to spring, Jeff seemed increasingly distressed. By mid-May, he was spiraling downward. He heard voices, hallucinated, rarely left his room, drank alone. He pushed his girlfriend away. Seeing these changes, his family hid dog leashes and removed combat knives from their home. They disabled Jeff's car after he crashed theirs. They took him to the Northampton VA Medical Center and the Veterans Center in Springfield. They barely slept.
They had attributed earlier changes they'd noticed to the readjustment period the military told families to expect. ''Julie noticed a distance. Sometimes he would get lost in a daze," Kevin says. ''He was drinking, but nothing to where it ended up being, and it wasn't continual." |

No, of course it is not all because of Bush. He had a lot of help. So we need to give credit to Cheney, Condaleeza Rice, Donald Rumsfeld, Karl Rove and well, pretty much everyone that surrounds him. They are all responsible for this fiasco. |

I doubt it, I wasn't so much voting for Kerry as I was voting against Bush. I think maybe Gore would have at least listened to his commanders in the field a little more, and maybe sent enough troops, or none at all. |
