Scathing Rebuke of Bush Administration

You've got to read this scathing rebuke of the Bush Administration by Michael Carmichael, a historian and author, and the founder and Chief Executive of Planetary Movement. Big-time ouch. It hits on everything from the economy to voting machines to the war in Iraq. Here's a little taste, but you must read the whole thing:

If the American elections were fair and honest, the Republicans would be routed for a decade – or more. Fifty seats would turn over in the House, and the Senate would turn blue. That is not the case. Gerrymandering, poll-jacking, hacking and e-vote rigging, racism and sexism will reduce the Democratic gains considerably. In 2002, Bush had an approval rating of 62% compared to his 37% rating today. In 1994, Bill Clinton’s approval rating was 41%, and the Republicans gained 52 seats in the House. Today, 80% of Americans will be required to use touch-screen voting machines, and twenty-seven states cannot provide a paper trail to recount elections reliably. God Bless, America.
