2nd Bush term good for the Left

Throughout U.S. history, concessions from the ruling class come only out of crisis
Throughout U.S. history, advances toward civilization have been made only when forced from our rulers when they get us into a crisis and discredit their leadership. No one can get us into crises quicker and deeper than George W. Bush (George VI) can. In fact, the crisis may be so deep now, we will never be a 1st class nation again.

It took a deadly civil war to end slavery. A massive depression brought us worker, children and women's rights and improved working conditions. WW II demonstrated how racist the U.S. is, and some steps toward racial equality were made. The Chinese could become citizens for the first time. Blacks were integrated in the military. The 60s upheavals brought great strides toward freedom in the U.S. and some small racial equality and women's rights advances.

George VI has set record debts, deficits & trade imbalances. He led the way to the greatest stock market fall in history (from 12,000 to 7,000). He has decimated the middle class which is the backbone of a thriving economy. He failed his primary duty when he failed to keep us safe on Sept. 11, 2001.

It's as if George VI jinxed the nation. He is George the Jinx. He allowed the deadliest attack on the U.S. in its 225 year history. An anthrax attact killed several people and he seems determined not to find the perpetrator. A CIA agent was exposed by someone in his admistration and he is unable or unwilling to find the culprit. There is so much dirty laundry in the White House that no one dares to infrom on or punish anyone else. A U.S. spy plane crash landed in China & Bush was forced to get on his knees and apologize. A U.S. Navy submarine giving thrill rides to GOP campaign contributors crashed into and sank a Japanese fishing boat. The entire northeast sector of the U.S. blacked out due to negilgence cause by energy deregulation and irresponsible oversight of businesses. Bush's buddies in the energy industry stole billions and are walking around free. The dot-com, accounting and investment fund industries were exposed as corrupt to the core as Bush advocated further deregulatoin of business arguing theat the market keeps them honest. A space shuttle crashed killing all aboard. Hurricanes struck inflicting devastation on the state where the criminal governor, corrupt election system and oblivious voters put America's most unqualifed person in the White House.

Internationally, George VI murdered more than 20,000 innocent Arabs making him seven times the criminal Osama bin Laden is. George VI is more reviled around the world than Osama is and has made a laughting stock of American democracy and diplomacy. He invaded Iraq for oil, strategic military bases and as a hired gun for Israel. Saddam Hussein was fixated on destroying Israel, not the U.S., who was his good buddy and supplier of weapons of mass destruction until 1990. George VI hired Zionist misfits, called neocons, to plan his war in Iraq. The blitzkrieg war would "shock and awe" the Iraqis and stun them into inaction and submission, the neocons and their aliies Dick Cheney and Donald Rumsfeld promised.

For his new type of perpetual war, George VI pursued the brilliant diplomatic strategy of alienating all other nations that could help if something went wrong. He bribed and coerced several brutal dictatorships and almost-nations to create a tiny pretend coalition.

The only ally George VI needed was that voice coming from his gut that he believed was the voice of God. It seems that another dunce has been duped by the devil. George VI holds the record for most people exectued by a governor of the U.S. Killing one at a time was fun, but killing by the thousands would be more rewarding. So he ran for president and became "Killer in chief." The only differences between Saddam Hussein and George VI are that Saddam is not a religious fanatic and is intelligent.

Armed with the military strategy of the future borrowed from Hitler of the past and surrounded by almost sane advisors, Bush launched his war on Iraq to prove to his mother that he is a better man than his father (George V) who invaded only halfway into Iraq.

As scorned nations looked on in amusement, George VI, coward of the Vietnam War, did everything wrong. The $6 billion war became a $200 billion war. Casualties passed 8,000. The promised bouquets of flowers were grenades fired from grenade launchers. Dead and maimed Americans covered the landscape while the living hid in the Green Zone Fortress. Again, he finds himself on his knees brazenly begging "Old Europe" to come to his rescue.

While George VI racked up the most atrocious record in American history, the Democrats are unable to find any flaws in his performance. Their lackluster candidate lacks the will or desire to win. He and his advisors are unable to find faults in the man who can do nothing right. Apparently Teresa has all the will to win in the family. Democrats wouldn't fight for an election they won. They are not going to fight for better healthcare, better working conditions and compensation or to rein in ruling class predations.

For the Left, these are opportune times. If Bush wins, economic and diplomatic collapse will follow within two to three years. He will follow in the footsteps of Richard Nixon, resigning in disgrace. If Kerry wins, he will be strapped by economic disaster for four or eight years and remove any doubt about his incompetence. Then master criminal Jeb Bush will be elected president by brain washed and brain dead Americans who would vote for a six foot pole if it was painted white, had a penis attached and a cowboy hat on top. The choice is disaster now or worse disaster in four to eight years.
