Sometimes we come across a news story so shocking that it serves to remind us that Bush's Republicans will cross any line in their pursuit of full control over the government.

You have already heard how President Bush bypassed the Senate confirmation process and appointed Charles Pickering -- who authored the GOP anti-abortion plank and argued for lenience for a convicted cross-burner -- to a lifetime seat on the federal bench just hours after laying a wreath at the grave of Martin Luther King, Jr.

But they're not done.

This week, the Boston Globe reported that Republican staffers on the Senate Judiciary Committee repeatedly accessed computer files belonging to Democratic members over the course of the year, stealing strategic memos and leaking them to conservative media outlets.

Republicans immediately jumped on the defensive, blaming the computer glitch that allowed them to access the files. That's like a burglar blaming an unlocked door when he robs your house! You couldn't make up a better story to demonstrate the excesses and lengths that they'll go to in pursuit of their agenda. Their tactics illustrate their willful abuse of democratic rules as they attempt to pack our courts with right-wing extremists.

They will do anything to increase their power through President Bush's right-wing extremist judicial nominees -- even illegal and unethical computer hacking.

Take Action!

Quote of the Week
"Just because you can do it doesn't mean it's right, doesn't mean it's ethical, and doesn't mean it's legal."

I concur that there is no depth beyond that which they will sink in their usual raw naked grasping for power at any cost.

Matthew 16:26
For what is a man profited, if he shall gain the whole world, and lose his own soul? or what shall a man give in exchange for his soul?
(Whole Chapter: Matthew 16 In context: Matthew 16:25-27)

He may demonstrably gain the Presidency.

Actually, I don't believe they loose their souls entirely, but they have to spend a lot of time in rehab or they may have to come down here again to experience what they inflicted on others! OOOOOOH!

I expect this race to get a lot dirtier! If they find they can't win -- then they'll do the big dirty -- a terrorist attack! YUP!

OUCH!

LaRouche in his presidential candidate speech today on CSpan said the Euro is now worth $1.25! "We're on the way down" he said! And he's probably right!

Limbo lower now!
