		<description>&lt;p&gt;GWOT is a lie. Every war the US has been involved in was started with a lie. Protect freedom..in Orwell’s doublespeak, perhaps. WTF..the invasion of Iraq was an illegal act of aggression…what about that don’t you understand?&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;If you do not realize that 911 happened because of that fool and his buddies who just left the White House, you need to do a lot more research. Or do you believe that a box cuter defeated NORAD?&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Bring all of the troops home. They are dying for PNAC. The only freedom they are dying for is the freedom of the MIC to conduct wars for never ending profits. It is about the oil; it is always about the oil.&lt;/p&gt;</description>

		<description>&lt;p&gt;Based on the language you use to describe a president, you are equally disrespectful and hateful.  &lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Typically people who lay blame on someone else should really take a look in the mirror.  You might consider a better place to live because terrorism won’t go away and American’s will have to continue fighting for their freedom indefinitely.  You might not like the war in Iraq or reasons for going there, but to think it was done on a whim, by so many countries who confirmed the U.S. “bad” intelligence is truly simpleminded.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;War is not a good thing, but every place American forces have gone to fight for freedom and protect our freedoms at home, we have stayed.  Close to 400K U.S. troops are deployed on foreign soil today, including every country we’ve defeated in war.  Every country where the U.S. has an embassy there are U.S. Marines stationed,  including Hanoi, Vietnam.  To pull combat troops out of Iraq will have many ramifications, but chances are this will happen to satisfy political promises.  Those troops will probably redeployed to Afghanistan where the U.S. should have concentrated its efforts on terrorism in the first place.  Wonder if the pullout in Iraq results in a blood letting beyond your wildest imagination,  will this satisfy your protest and make you happy?&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;As a combat veteran who was wounded in action, degraded and spat upon when I returned from protecting your freedoms to protest an unpopular war, I’d do it again in a heartbeat if it meant fighting an enemy that threatens our country.  It has always amazed me the United States has so many young men and women in uniform willing to sacrifice for those who have never spilt one ounce of sweat or one drop of blood serving their country.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;You really ought to savor your freedom, show a little class, and not be so disrespectful towards a president who did his best to protect our country.  But, since you’re obviously classless and hatefully minded, here’s wishing you an early transmission failure in rush hour traffic and may the fleas of a thousand camels infest your armpits. &lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Peace, out.&lt;/p&gt;</description>

		<description>&lt;p&gt;I was disappointed when this attempt failed. Renaming  a sewage plant after Bush was 100% appropriate because he flushed America down the toilet.&lt;br /&gt;
********************&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Well, a new measure has now qualified for the November ballot in San Francisco. And it’ll likely help draw out city voters from the Democratic and from the Republican party, all three of them there.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;It’s the measure to rename the Oceanside Water Pollution Control Plant, which treats waste water from San Francisco’s west side, the George W. Bush Sewage Plant in an effort to embarrass the president for actions such as the Iraq war.&lt;/p&gt;

		<description>&lt;p&gt;Bush feels he is above the law. Pardoning anyone will mean that they did break laws and take away their 5th amendment … see Iran contra, S &amp; L, etc.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;There will be Civil War in the Repug Party and years from now, the victors will tearfully praise Dubya as being the guy who saved the party. A concerted effort will ensue to rename half the country after him.&lt;/p&gt;</description>

		<description>&lt;p&gt;What a day…so glad to be with the pups..reminds me of the long walk through the election.  I have loved the hour count down; and yes, it will be so good to say g’by to W.  I so wish that the great Molly Ivins were among us to somehow sum up the outrage of these years: She would start with I Told you So, and then get warmed up.  &lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;When we were following the Libby trial, there was alot of discussion about his wife.  Now that he has been left “as is”, maybe she will start speaking out.  It’s happened before.&lt;/p&gt;</description>

		<description>&lt;p&gt;Oh..wait..a free concert..they’ll show up for that!&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;********&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;“The president said at the White House Christmas party that he left from Midland and was coming home to Midland because we’re the ones who are his friends and great supporters and he wanted to be with us when he left Washington,” County Republican Chairwoman Sue Brannon said in Monday’s online edition of the Midland Reporter-Telegram. “It shows what a fine gentleman he is.”&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;As of Monday afternoon, 1,500 free tickets remained for the event which will feature entertainment by Larry Gatlin and the Gatlin Brothers, Rodney Atkins and Lee Greenwood.&lt;/p&gt;

		<description>&lt;p&gt;Naaa..his ‘friends’ will be there simply ’cause he is a vindictive puke and they don’t want to piss him off by not showing up. Not a rally..it is a meeting of the ‘dead enders for Bush’ crowd.&lt;/p&gt;</description>

&lt;p&gt;Gotta be the only place in the world they could get more than 2 people together that like Shrub and his policies.&lt;/p&gt;</description>
