Greald Ford a guest editorial on Ford and Republicans

From Dan Goodman

What Ford's actions show above all that he was a Republican to the core and like all Republicans of today he put his party and greed for power over his country. I mean does anyone doubt that Ford would not have held his tounge during the election cycle of 2004 if his opinion would have helped Bush. What the mainstream media will never point out, but what we must point out is putting greed for power over country is a difference between the Republicans and Democrats. For we must remember that in 1968 LBJ was steaming toward re-election. So certain were most political experts that LBJ would win easily the most prominent Republicans decided not to run. In fact the Republican line of the day was "nominate Nixon so we won't have to break in a new loser."But the Democrats led by Eugene "Clean Gene" McCarthy showed great honor, courage and above all Patriotism and put country before party and greed for power and challenged and denied LBJ the nomination because of his lies about, management of and crimes executing the Vietnam War. What Repuplicans showed in 2004 and is further highlighted by Gerald Ford's interview to be released only after his death is that no Repubulican has the same honor, courage and patriotism of the Democrats. Instead Republicans put party and greed for power over country.

Christmas Wish

May we find so much peace in our hearts that there shall be more than enough to share with those who would do us harm and thus strike a kinship anew with our brothers to last in peace forever.

Generalissimo Bush and the DRAFT

Is Bush's new call for a bigger Army his way of leaving Draft talk up to others? Already some Defense underling has broached the subject then quickly backed away. The next step will be subtle pressure on the Dem congress to "find the way.....to lead" on raising a larger Army needed to "fight terrorism......before we lose a Chicago". Just watch.

The Generals Revolt

This from today's WaPo:
The Bush administration is split over the idea of a surge in troops to Iraq, with White House officials aggressively promoting the concept over the unanimous disagreement of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, according to U.S. officials familiar with the intense debate.

When the entire JCS openly disagrees this vigorously with their CIC, then it is a clear indication of a White House spinning out of control at the cost of US soldiers lives.
