CAN/WILL A REPUBLICAN EVER WIN Again
CAN/WILL ANY REPUBLICAN EVER WIN AGAIN ??
AIPAC, ISRAEL, & MOSSAD HAVE COMPLETELY
DESTROYED THE REPUBLICAN PARTY, AND
AMERICA'S STATUS IN THE WORLD !!
BE AMERICAN FIRST------FIGHT FOR AMERICA NOW:
WE NEED TO UNITE FOR ONE CAUSE, AMERICAN GOVERNMENT FOR AMERICA &
AMERICANS ONLY. NOT FOR FOREIGN
INTEREST.
ALL MUST UNITE NOW FOR THE MOST
IMPORTANT CAUSE IN OUR LIFE-TIME.
NATIVE AMERICAN;
AFRICAN AMERICAN;
HISPANIC AMERICAN;
ASIAN AMERICAN;
RED, YELLOW, BLACK, WHITE, OR BROWN
AMERICAN. WE THE PEOPLE (CITIZENS)...
THE FEDERAL GOVERNMENT IS TO WORK
FOR US AND OUR BENEFIT.
ONE AMERICA. Where OUR campaign begins,
and will end as candidates seeking to serve us
the AMERICAN people, not what has been past
practice by this and other administrations.
We will be the only lobby. No more special
interest groups. Business corporations,
theology quick change artist, foreign interest
groups. No more PORK_BARRELLING.
Demand fair taxation by all, stop all the FRAUD,
and let there be no more tax free property or
income.........Campaign funding by tax-payer
public financing. With limitations.
We as Americans will swear allegiance to each other. Our leaders will have to swear their allegiance
to us.
ONLY special interest group, will be from individual
state committees, USA states, not the State of
Israel, or any other poisonous regime.
Senators & congress members staff, shall comprise of individuals from their represented areas. Not foreign students or from foreign interest groups.
Our ECONOMY, Borders, energy, trade, health care,
manufacturing, Social security, & liberties.
Complete reform of the corrupt system of
governing, will be a MANDATE from the people.
Our University grants and Scholarships shall be
for American citizens, no more giving our tax
money away outside the USA.
Israel has received a grand total of $84.8 billion, excluding the $10 billion in U.S. government loan guarantees it has drawn to date.
And if you calculate what the U.S. has had to pay in interest to borrow this money to give to Israel, the cost of Israel to U.S. taxpayers rises to $134.8 billion, not adjusted for inflation.
Put another way, the nearly $14,630 every one of 5.8 million Israelis had received from the U.S. government by October 31, 1997, cost American taxpayers $23,241 per Israeli. That's $116,205 for every Israeli family of five.
None of these figures include the private donations by Americans to Israeli charities, which initially constituted about one quarter of Israel's budget, and today approach $1 billion annually. In addition to the negative effect of these donations on the U.S. balance of payments, the donors also deduct them from their U.S. income taxes, creating another large drain on the U.S. treasury.
Nor do the figures above include any of the indirect financial costs of Israel to the United States, which cannot be tallied. One example is the cost to U.S. manufacturers of the Arab boycott, surely in the billions of dollars by now. Another example is the cost to U.S. consumers of the price of petroleum, which surged to such heights that it set off a world-wide recession during the Arab oil boycott imposed in reaction to U.S. support of Israel in the 1973 war.
Other examples are a portion of the costs of maintaining large U.S. Sixth Fleet naval forces in the Mediterranean, primarily to protect Israel, and military air units at the Aviano base in Italy, not to mention the staggering costs of frequent deployments to the Arabian Peninsula and Gulf area of land and air forces from the United States and naval units from the Seventh Fleet, which normally operates in the Pacific Ocean.
We all are aware of the suffering our own people
are/have been going though, from KATRINA and other such disasters. No more disproportionate
AID.
Let your representatives know the demands.
Public awareness from Public forums, not
by a controlled media.
The Republican Party has no principles, ethics,
integrity, or moral values, left to run on for any office at all ; any more.
The only thing you have is Rove Trickery,
administrative corruption, and foreign
lobby , organized crime money.
That is why we see nothing constructive from a
republican candidate. Just attack adds, and
more of the same old rethoric and corrupt
agenda.
You no longer can hide behind the cloak of
sheeps clothing of the Church. Even the
Silver Tongue Theologist can’t find anything
good with-in your Party anymore.
Save your funds, you are all washed up
as far as the American people go.
Of course you have AIPAC, ISRAEL & MOSSAD
left as the only Allies you will muster-up..
Since the 9/11 attacks, Bush has overseen a bare-knuckled political strategy of bullying anyone who disagrees with him and marginalizing their voices. From the Dixie Chicks to former Ambassador Joseph Wilson, from France to United Nations weapons inspectors, those who have dared to cross the President have faced ridicule and reprisals.
Instead of encouraging a full-and-free debate about an issue as important as war and peace, Bush made clear that he saw nothing wrong with his followers punishing Americans who disagree with him.The President coordinated with powerful media allies to silence dissent.
With anti-Americanism across the Middle East now often registering in the 90 percentiles, Bush’s strategy is more likely to accelerate Islamic extremism than put a brake on it.
Bush’s exhortations about human freedom therefore are galling to many in the world who see Bush himself as the world’s most notorious autocrat, violating international law at his personal whim and overriding the constitutional liberties of Americans at home.
The bottom line for Bush’s “war on terror” is that it won’t just cost countless lives and hundreds of billions of dollars; it also is doomed to fail, at least as presently constituted. If it lasts much longer, it is certain, too, to deliver a death blow to the noble American Republic.
Suddenly, the Israeli connection is on the table, and the War Party is not amused. Finding themselves in an unanticipated firefight, our neoconservative friends are doing what comes naturally, seeking student deferments from political combat by claiming the status of a persecuted minority group. People who claim to be writing the foreign policy of the world superpower, one would think, would be a little more manly in the schoolyard of politics. Not so. President Bush had become a client of … Ariel Sharon and the ‘neoconservative war party.
Indeed, it is the charge of “anti-Semitism” itself that is toxic. For this venerable slander is designed to nullify public discourse by smearing and intimidating foes and censoring and blacklisting them and any who would publish them. Neocons say we attack them because they are Jewish. We do not. We attack them because their warmongering threatens our country.This time the boys have cried “wolf” once too often. It is not working. Quit playing the “Anti-Semitic Card.”
“The Likudniks are really in charge now.” Kaiser names Perle, Wolfowitz, and Feith as members of a pro-Israel network inside the administration and adds David Wurmser of the Defense Department and Elliott Abrams of the National Security Council.
We charge that a cabal of polemicists and public officials seek to ensnare our country in a series of wars that are not in America’s interests. We charge them with colluding with Israel to ignite those wars and destroy the Oslo Accords. We charge them with deliberately damaging U.S. relations with every state in the Arab world that defies Israel or supports the Palestinian people’s right to a homeland of their own. We charge that they have alienated friends and allies all over the Islamic and Western world through their arrogance, hubris, and bellicosity.
They charge us with anti-Semitism. False. The truth is, those hurling these charges harbor a “passionate attachment” to a nation not our own that causes them to subordinate the interests of their own country and to act on an assumption that, somehow, what’s good for Israel is good for America.
On Sept. 11, their time came. They seized on that horrific atrocity to steer America’s rage into all-out war to destroy their despised enemies, the Arab and Islamic “rogue states” that have resisted U.S. hegemony and loathe Israel.
On Sept. 12, Americans were still in shock when Bill Bennett told CNN that we were in “a struggle between good and evil,” that the Congress must declare war on “militant Islam,” and that “overwhelming force” must be used. Bennett cited Lebanon, Libya, Syria, Iraq, Iran, and China as targets for attack. Not, however, Afghanistan, the sanctuary of Osama’s terrorists. How did Bennett know which nations must be smashed before he had any idea who attacked us?
On Sept. 20, forty neoconservatives sent an open letter to the White House instructing President Bush on how the war on terror must be conducted. Signed by Bennett, Podhoretz, Kirkpatrick, Perle, Kristol, and Washington Post columnist Charles Krauthammer, the letter was an ultimatum. To retain the signers’ support, the president was told, he must target Hezbollah for destruction, retaliate against Syria and Iran if they refuse to sever ties to Hezbollah, and overthrow Saddam. Any failure to attack Iraq, the signers warned Bush, “will constitute an early and perhaps decisive surrender in the war on international terrorism.”
Here was a cabal of intellectuals telling the Commander-in-Chief, nine days after an attack on America, that if he did not follow their war plans, he would be charged with surrendering to terror. Yet, Hezbollah had nothing to do with 9/11. What had Hezbollah done? Hezbollah had humiliated Israel by driving its army out of Lebanon.
President Bush had been warned. He was to exploit the attack of 9/11 to launch a series of wars on Arab regimes, none of which had attacked us. All, however, were enemies of Israel. “Bibi” Netanyahu, the former Prime Minister of Israel, like some latter-day Citizen Genet, was ubiquitous on American television, calling for us to crush the “Empire of Terror.” The “Empire,” it turns out, consisted of Hamas, Hezbollah, Iran, Iraq, and “the Palestinian enclave.” What had they done to the United States? The War Party was desperate to get a Middle East war going before America had second thoughts.
In February 2003, Sharon told a delegation of Congressmen that, after Saddam’s regime is destroyed, it is of “vital importance” that the United States disarm Iran, Syria, and Libya.
What these neoconservatives sought is to conscript American blood to make the world safe for Israel. They want the peace of the sword imposed on Islam and American soldiers to die if necessary to impose it. WELL plenty of Americas finest have given their BLOOD for Israeli benefit. What benefit has all this mess been for America.? Are we safer from terrorist? 911, what do we know for sure?
The neocons seek American empire, and Sharonites seek hegemony over the Middle East. The two agendas coincide precisely. And though neocons insist that it was Sept. 11 that made the case for war on Iraq and militant Islam, the origins of their war plans go back far before.
The principal draftsman is Richard Perle, an aide to Sen. Scoop Jackson, who, in 1970, was overheard on a federal wiretap discussing classified information from the National Security Council with the Israeli Embassy. Perle had taken substantial payments from an Israeli weapons manufacturer.
In the Perle-Feith-Wurmser strategy, Israel’s enemy remains Syria, but the road to Damascus runs through Baghdad. Their plan, which urged Israel to re-establish “the principle of preemption,” has now been imposed by Perle, Feith, Wurmser & Co. on the United States.
While many of these hawks speak in public about global crusades for democracy, the chief concern of many such “neo-conservatives” is the power and reputation of Israel.
Secretary of State Rice is now reported to have adopted some of the ideas of Colin Powell, her predecessor, and wants to press for some kind of success on the Israel-Palestine problem. But her old employee, Elliott Abrams, is opposing her from his seat as Deputy National Security Advisor for Global Democracy Strategy. Abrams has become the chief successor to the neocons in the Pentagon and State Department, almost all of whom have have since left government, though they remain influential. His real job seems to be to protect the interest of the Israel lobby in the White House.
Badly damaged by his felony conviction for lying to Congress about his role in the Iran-Contra affair, Abrams, like many neo-cons, left government service under the decidedly "realist" administration of President George H.W. Bush and spent the 1990s at various think tanks. There, he helped forge the coalition -- epitomised by Kristol's Project for the New American Century (PNAC) of which he was a charter member -- of mainly Jewish neo-conservatives, the Christian and Catholic Right, and aggressive nationalists that would seize control of U.S. policy after 9/11.
