Republican use of the English language

Every day I hear about the "arbitrary" timetable for the withdrawal of troops from Iraq that Bush and his minions complain about. The decision to "stay the course" is the real arbitrary policy. Bush lacks intelligence and has a very limited vocabulary. Reading the dumb things he has said would be funny if he were not in such a powerful position. I would hope that one of his aides would explain the big words to him but unfortunately it must be his aides who come up with this dishonest tactic of spinning English to suit their purpose. He doesn't have the brains to do it himself.

IMPEACH BUSH!!

Here's the definition:

Arbitrary
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
"Choices and actions are considered to be arbitrary when they are done not by means of any underlying principle or logic, but by whim or some decidedly illogical formula. For example, rearranging, for no reason, the letters of the alphabet so the letters appear in a staggered fashion (e.g. ac-bd-eg-fh). If there was a direct purpose in doing so, such as to make a better alphabet, then it would not be considered arbitrary."

Wrong way George

Bush's opinion went up after Gonzales' testimony. Everyone elses, including Republicans, went down.

Bloomberg.com: U.S.

"President George W. Bush said his support for Alberto Gonzales has increased since the embattled attorney general testified to Congress about why he fired eight federal prosecutors. "

Michael Moore movie on U.S. healthcare

AlterNet: EnviroHealth: Controversial Michael Moore Flick "Sicko" Will Compare U.S. Health Care with Cuba's: "'The World Health Organization ranks health care systems based on objective measures of medical outcomes: The United States' health care system currently ranks 37th in the world, behind Colombia and Portugal; the United States ranks 44th in the world in infant mortality, behind many impoverished Latin American countries. While infant mortality in the United States is skewed toward poor people, who have rates double the wealthy, the top quintile of the U.S. population has infant mortality rates higher than Canadians in the lowest quintile of wealth."

Worker's Rights

AlterNet: WorkPlace: Bush Poised to Veto Long-Sought Labor Reform: "Big Business commissioned a Zogby poll that's dangerously close to the political 'push-polls' of campaign infamy. The questions were remarkably dishonest, and the results were what the pollsters and their clients were looking for. Please tell me whether you agree or disagree with the following statement: 'Every worker should continue to have the right to a federally supervised secret ballot election when deciding whether to organize a union.'"

Rights and Liberties: The "Silent" Ninth Amendment Gives Americans Rights They Don't Know They Have

Amendment IX
The enumeration in the Constitution, of certain rights, shall not be construed to deny or disparage others retained by the people.

Although the constitution lists various rights that are retained by the people, the founding fathers realized that there were other non-listed rights that should be protected.
