I''m convinced beyond the shadow of a doubt that Bush is the Antichrist.

[edward1975-2009]

Pretty neat we can find money to feed others, while we have problems with our own not getting enough to eat. About time we use American dollars to help Americans for a change.

Bushes'' offer of $200mil for food relief is like a guy who shows up with a fire extinguisher to help firefighters put out a forest fire! Too little, too late! That''s our king for ''ya, though!

For 7 1/2 years, Bush has turned his back on Africa and other parts of the so-called ''third world''. He ignored Darfur, AIDS, genocide, and civil wars---all the while practicing compassionate conservatism!

So, now---a few months from being done, one foot out the door---he offers $200mil?! All heart, this guy!

Who will monitor this money so that it isn''t

Why aren''t the rich Phillipine people helping their own people? Why is the US always the one to do this in all the nations? Why aren''t we helping them to grow their own food by giving them seeds, chickens, cows, etc. and farming tools so they can grow their own food? I think in doing so would raise their self esteem and give them pride in themselves.

Let''s talk McCain, since the corporate media will not. Here is a short list:

-His actions and waffling violate his own McCain-Feingold campaign finance laws
-His famously irrational temper
-His I didn''t support MLK Jr. Day before I did
-His 100 years in Iraq vow
-His bomb-bomb-bomb Iran snippet
-His active cancer
-His old age
-His affair with rich Cindy, now his wife
-His dumping of his wife when she was disfigured in an auto accident, and going off with affair Cindy
-His going with Cindy to Arizona, and Cindy using her money to turn John into a politician instead of a bureaucrat
-His affair with Vicki Iseman
-His calling his wife, Cindy, a c*#! ("At least I don''t plaster on the makeup like a trollop, you c***.")
-His super-supporter, evangelist Hagee, labeling the Catholic church as the a prostitute who does not charge (USA Today chooses to censor Hagee''s actual term)

What about John should we talk about first? I am curious.

"Let them eat E85," said Bush.

At a time when the greatest percentage of the world''''s population is facing an anguishing death from starvation, the US Gov''''t is subsidizing turning food in gasoline for the poor SUVs...

The morality of this nation is ebbing.

rudy, Iowa is a good blue state and expects government welfare.

I have never considered Iowa a blue state but Bush is the best incentive to vote Democratic. It is happening in other red states too.

Government welfare - maybe for your "corporate farms" but not your smaller farmer with the price of corn.

$100+ per barrel for oil and you think fertilizer, seed, diesel and gasoline are not going to increase the cost of corn.

Capitalism works ethanol helps prove it.

Bush: "Quick, someone''s noticed we dropped the ball again, this time on this global food crisis thing! Issue some...some...MONEY! A million dollars?"

White House lackey: "Not enough, sir. It costs us more than that just to deliver it."

Bush: "Then make it a hundred million!"

White House lackey: "But Mr President, the dollar has been devalued since we started printing so much more of it to bail out your banker friends."

Bush: "Then make it TWO hundred million!" And print up some more money just in case. And get me another lackey who doesn''t know them...them...FACT things."

It is interesting to see the source of the problem not recognize itself as the source, but respond to the symptom, by giving a bit of medicine (so to speak). Too bad the source never looks within.

The truth will set you free.

Reading this note, I find that we are too selfish now.
Look around. We have so many things, so many opportunity. So do not cry. Help yourself and help the helpless.
