Go Home

Another one bites the dust.

AP:

An aide to President Bush has resigned because of his alleged misuse of grant money from the U.S. Agency for International Development when he worked for a Cuban democracy organization.

Felipe Sixto was promoted on March 1 as a special assistant to the president for intergovernmental affairs and stepped forward on March 20 to reveal his alleged wrongdoing and to resign, White House spokesman Scott Stanzel said Friday. He said Sixto took that step after learning that his former employer, the Center for a Free Cuba, was prepared to bring legal action against him.

How many more cards have to go before the house falls down for good (I don't mean Andy, either)?

"George W. Bush White House Aide." Finally, after all these years, America has a more embarrassing resume entry than "Ricard Nixon White House Aide."

Good thing it wasn't left up to Congress, or Justice, to investigate. He would have stayed until Jan. 20th, 2009.

Who appointed Jeff Gannon to the White House Press Corps. Who invited him into the White House. Why do so few Americans ask the questions that could bring down this administration. Who passed the Anthrax around before the passage of the Patriot Act? Damn.

Wasn't it Poppy Bush that said something along the lines that if they found out what we did they'd lynch us in the streets? Between the Iran Hostages, Iran-Contra, and all of the blatantly illegal things that "43" has done under the cover memos of his Presidential and DoJ lawyers I think there are some real bombshells out there (and that's just what we know about). Could there really be something so vile that would throw this country into anarchy or to cause the Bush family to fear for their lives? As pacified a society as we've become I really can't see anything that would cause such an uproar but then day by day pieces are coming out that might just push things over the edge.

This country is slowly beginning to wake up and realize what we have know for too long. If it weren't for a media that was consolidated under too few large corporatations we would stand a chance to begin getting all of the answers. I know that if Obama or Clinton get elected they will seek to look ahead and not want to spend time on investigating the Bush administration. I know it's important to begin putting the country back together but I think it is in the countries best interest to select a Special Prosecuter so we can at least find out what was done under Bush. Even if they don't intend on bringing charges at least determine ways so the things the NeoCons have done can never happen again. This country can't survive another administration like Bush's, it is simply too fragile right now and it will take decades to strengthen it to a point where we have a functioning government.

I think it would be more newsworthy to find a member of the bush administration that ISN'T crooked.

it would be like finding the Loch Ness Monster.

I doubt you could find a honest person in the entire Bush Administration! Of course once they leave there is a six or seven figure job waiting for them from their cronies in the private sector.

What a coincidence more friday night negativity. Look for a big splash monday morning distraction. Real Employment up .01%!!!!

yes its actually cheaper for taxpayers to leave the crooks in office versus joining the private sector and getting some fat contracts that cost us more for the same crimes.

I hope all you America hating leftist, commie, nihilist traitor scum who hate President Bush go to hell as well as all your loved ones. I hope you and yours all are punished for the rest of your lives on this earth with [Deleted. Do not advocate violence and illness on people who visit this site-Sitemonitor] for bashing a great man and a great Christian. People like us can't wait for the Rapture to join forces with President Bush and all his supporters (the Real Americans and great Real Christians) to do battle with the evil Left once and for all and throw you all into Hell as stated in Revelation to be with your heroes such as Marx, Lenin, Darwin, Che, Mao, Malcolm X, etc.. In the meantime I pray that God will punish you and yours on the evil Marxist, Commie nihilist LEFT. You may want to refer to the following passages in the Bible which sanction this: ,Psalm 58:10, Exodus 20:5, Deuteronomy 30:7 and Deuteronomy 7:10 and 7:15, and Ecclesiastes 3:8 and Revelation 3:21. So unless you are an ignorant heathen atheist or unknowing christian (many of these)this is not un-Christian to say and is actually sanctioned in the Good Book if you care to look for yourselves!

If it was up to me Patriots like me would have all you Leftist scum rounded up [Deleted. Do not advocate violence on people who visit this site. And it's 'en masse'-Sitemonitor] in public for treason to America and to our great Commander in Chief, President Bush! Millions of us Pro-Bush and America loving Patriots like myself would run through a brick wall for him and gladly severely punish all who wish him, America and his loyal Patriotic exemplary Christian followers bad.
God is on our side and with His help we will not have to wait until the Rapture at Armageddon for us to see that you evil Leftist scum are punished for your malevolence. Remember Sodom and Gomorrah and the Bubonic Plague; either change your ways treasonous Leftie scum [Deleted. Do not advocate violence and illness on people who visit this site-Sitemonitor] we will celebrate; music to our ears! God Bless America!

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

You Bush and GOP, and Fox News and Talk radio haters are Destined for Hell and hell on earth for the remainder of their lives and those of their loved ones as well as their offspring! It will be music to our (The Real Americans; the Neocons) ears when terrible things happen to you heathen cretins! Leftists are such wusses it is not even funny; who are you kidding about trying to pass yourselves off as genuine pacifists? That is just a clever disguise used by cowards and traitors and commies for generations; refer to the Bolsheviks and their anti-war stance in WWI which led to Russia's CZAR premature withdrawal from a popular war in WWI.You guys on the Left (I would estimate around 70% of you all)
are just modern day Bolsheviks;let's be real for a change! You just don't have the guts to admit it. But those of us, (like us) who know our history
and read your Leftist blogs can't be fooled by your
REAL intentions comrades! Sorry to tell ya, but it ain't gonna happen ever in America so you may as well just toss the Che t-shirts and hammer and sickle flags in the trash where they belong; in the ash heap of history and thus joining the former
Evil Empire of the USSR in this league. We won the Cold War thanks to Reagan and the neocons
; thank God and the rest of the world is much better off for it and the Founding Fathers must be smiling for our efforts to save America from subversion to Marxist-Leninist
leftist trash like you all.

[Deleted. Do not advocate violence and illness on people who visit this site. Bandwidth is expensive. Please refrain from repeating yourself-Sitemonitor]) we will celebrate; music to our ears and you all will be nothing more than troglodytes! God Bless America! BTW, I hear France is nice this time of year:) I am sure you'll find plenty of Godless queers to indulge your hedonistic ways over there or up north of us with the canucks, eh?

The funny/scary part about Rick's post is that some people truly believe what he sarcastically(I hope) typed. As for another person connected with this administration being charged with a crime, the real crime is that they are not all under investigation. While some want to claim Bush is guilty of treason, I believe he is technically guilty of sedition with regards to the "war on terror", and a host of other crimes associated with this.

I think all GOP and Bush supporters should prove the loyalty and love for their party by flogging themselves in public with whips and chains proving to all how faithful to the cause they are. This action of publicly flogging themselves will prove that they truly are followers of Bushism and GOPism.

Long Live Bush!

Long Live The GOP!

Long Live Bushism and GOPism!

Ah, Rick,
Such is the state of the state that I don't know if you really are a cement head or just a really good satirist! If you're for real, I think the Rupture can't come soon enough! Why, as soon as the (another fucking drug store) store opens , I'm going to go out and buy a Truss.
If, on the other hand, You're a really good satirist, well......... you're a really good satirist.

not surprising given the the connection of this group to the national endowment for democracy, a reagan era creation for democracy promotion, and also conduit aiding in the long term efforts by the cia to overthrow the cuban regime

RICK , its god

What are you saying in my name , boy i will slap the piss out of you if you keep talking this trash in my name .

There is no reason for your hatred , you are being a fool , what ever you do , if you hurt anyone it will not be in my name rather in a fools name , yours rick , yours .

[Re: rick @ 34]

Rick, you are correct..we are leftists, but we love the liberals known as the "Founding Fathers" - not those you listed. If you understood the principles this nation was founded on, you'd realize how unpatriotic you are. Were you alive in 1776, you'd be called a Loyalist and would have to move back to England.

It seems pretty small compared to the serious crimes of bush, cheney, rove, perle, feith, rumsfeld, gonzales, yoo, etc.

Hate to break this to you rickelle

But I'm a decendent of half of the founding fathers, including George Washington himself, through his wife Martha

Distant uncles served in Congress during the 19th century

And I served in the Air Force and had a Top Secret clearance, with one brother in the Navy, and another as a emergency responder, and a nephew in the police force.
