DEMOCRACY IS MESSY AND EXPENSIVE

"What we do know about this pervasive wiretapping virtually compels the conclusion that the President of the United States has been breaking the law repeatedly and persistently."
"This Administration has come to power in the thrall of a legal theory that aims to convince us that this excessive concentration of presidential authority is exactly what our Constitution intended."


Al Gore, Former Vice-President of the United States, 2-16-2006


Keep paying those taxes!
George W. Bush has your number!
The buck won't stop at his desk, because that buck and two trillion (or MORE!) is the price tag for his Iraq war:

"In a paper presented to this week’s Allied Social Sciences Association annual meeting in Boston MA., Harvard budget expert Linda Bilmes and Columbia University Professor and Nobel Laureate Joseph E. Stiglitz calculate that the war is likely to cost the United States a minimum of nearly one trillion dollars and potentially over $2 trillion."

The War President doesn't work on the cheap. HE DEFINITELY IS SPENDING CAPITAL:

YOUR CAPITAL!


Thousands of American soldiers have been wounded, thousands and thousands and thousands of Iraqi civilians have been killed, and over two-thousand American soldiers have been killed.

The President isn't too bothered by these figures.
Like his Secretary of War Donald Rumsfeld, the War President probably believes that "Democracy is messy."

But don't worry. If the Democrats win in 2008, our taxes will increase so that Dubya's folly gets paid off.

Democracy!
Iraq!
What a mess!
