CULTURE OF LIFE? HOW ABOUT CULTURE OF CORRUPTION!!

• Iraq War -- after 3 years soldiers still are without proper armour for themselves and their vehicles. The ones that bought their own armour still have not been reimbursed. $8 billion in funding for reconstruction is missing and any investigation is being thwarted by the administration. Halliburton is given no-bid contracts for most reconstruction and have been accused of overcharging.
• Veterans of the war -- Multiple tours of duty. How many times have there been soldiers due to go home only to find out they are going stay another 6, 8, 12 months more (it's not much different than kidnapping). They get home to find out their veterens benefits have been cut, their families have been broken up and they don't have jobs. Welcome home.
• Gulf Coast hurricanes -- Katrina hits and the President doesn't acknowledge that anything happened for 3 days. It happens that the people most in need are the least able to help themselves. Our 'compassionate conservatives' crowd them into the Superdome like a bunch of cattle with no food, water or facilities.
• Tom Delay -- indicted on felony charges concerning campaign contributions.
• Karl Rove -- outing CIA agent Valerie Plame for political revenge.
• Bill Frist -- under investigation for insider trading. His out is that it was in a blind trust and he had no way of knowing what was being done with his money. Blind trust is what this administration wants us to have . . . or at least blind faith.
