Sassy Old Liberal Speaking

I am an old social worker, who thinks that we need to look at life around us, listen to our hearts and state our political beliefs with as much clarity, passion, diversity and truth as we are capable of. We are all the sum total of our experiences. If you don't like how things are...change em'!

Bush just isn't listening

Remember Daddy Bush's famous "read my lips" line? I figure it's time to give it back to the Shrub. That little old Texas boy just ain't listening...to nobody!

He didn't listen to his secretary of state, his generals, the United Nations, the major countries of the world and their millions of citizens who lined streets yelling real loud about "no war".

He didn't listen to the U.N. weapons inspectors, leaders of the Middle East, major religious leaders of the world, including the Pope, or millions of Americans who disagree with war, no matter how often we marched.

He ain't listening to Wall Street who says "bad for business" or federal budgeters who say there's no money left for war.

He didn't listen to bipartisan legislators who tell him American has some urgent needs that will be ignored because of this war.

He didn't listen to the CIA or veterans who understand war andhow it ain't healthy for anyone in its path.

Outside of Rummy and his cohort of "Friends of Cheney" who make money off this war, I don't reckon he can hear anyone.

Read our lips, El Presidente Bush...see you at the ballot box!
