George Bush talk again: about the election
George Bush and the Republicans have talked Jesus and walked corporate for far too lone. The Old Testament and money have been his sanctuary, his rock, but the rock is starting to crumble. George has pounded his Bible so hard and so long he's thumped a hole in it. Americans have begun to scrutinize motives and results. Those who hold hands with Saudi princes, accept donations from "The Crooked E" or from white collar criminals on "K" street, only distancing themselves when they are caught with their hands deep in the pockets of Jack Abramoff and others of his ilk, have had the bright light of scrutiny shown upon them, exposing them not for what they say, but for what they do.
