Howard Dean for President

Okay kids, its soapbox time.

If you're as sick as I am of this sham of an Administration currently in power, if this pack of baldfaced liars and their nepostistic Orwellian policies makes you want to rip out your own liver in disgust, then don't just sit there, DO SOMETHING ABOUT IT!!

Personally, I'm throwing my meager weight and resources behind the Howard Dean campaign, and if you, gentle reader, want to replace George aWol Bush next November with a kick ass guy, a stand up Democrat with backbone, a proven leader, etc etc, I urge you to do the same. Go to Meetup.com, where you can find Dean support meetings in your very town, and if you can't find one, you can create one! If nothing else, go to a Dean Meetup, meet some people, drink some beer, and talk about stuff.

Howard Dean just rocks. The guy isn't your typical pandering politician. He speaks his mind and he stands his ground. He's putting on an aggressive TV campaign in Iowa for the upcoming Democratic primaries, and even though he's criticized for being too forward, he's not pulling any punches. The guy just has a boatload of integrity, which is exactly what America needs right now.

If you need a couple more reasons why we need to kick Bush and his cronies out of power, check these stories out:

US Turns to the Taliban Yup, not only did the Bush administration "forget" to budget the funds to rebuild Afghanistan, welching on their promise to do so, but now they're actually negotiating with the Taliban.

Empty Promises for Americorps Speaking of welching, this article highlights Dubya's penchant for promising money to social programs like Americorps, shamelessly using Americorps representatives at political rallies, then turning around and CUTTING the program when its time to budget. Pssst: he's done this before, when the $15 billion pledge to fight the global AIDS problem shrank to a mere $3.4 billion budget request - which Congress may not even approve.

Iraqi mobile labs nothing to do with germ warfare, report finds And, of course, there's the complete lack of anything resembling weapons of mass destruction in Iraq, despite Bush's claims that we knew for certain that Saddam had them. In case anyone thinks this is old news, WE WAGED UNILATERAL, INTERNATIONALLY UNSANCTIONED WAR FOR THIS REASON, or so we were told, and now its coming out that we probably knew that no WMD existed. I don't like being lied to. Do you?
