A few years ago, before the 2004 Presidential election, Bruce Springsteen made some very unsettling political comments.  Because of his outright political lies (not opinions) I wrote a web page about him: Bruce Springsteen's Political Lies of 2004

Now it's 2007 and Bruce has a new album, it's a new political season, and Bruce has a new set of lies.

I want to first start off by saying that Bruce Springsteen has every right to express his opinion. 
I would never want to take that right away from him, or any other American, EVER.

But if Bruce is going to spew lies, without evidence, I'm going to call him on it.

I'm NOT writing this web page because I disagree with him, I'm writing it because he's spreading lies that he cannot prove.
 

Bruce has a new album out called "Magic".  It's a pretty good record overall even if some of the lyrics are a bit misguided.  But I'd like to ask Bruce why did he choose the photo on the cover of this album that makes him look like a criminal in a police mug shot?  With all the great concert photos of him why is he using picture that makes him look like Nick Nolte after a DUI or a drug bust? And why doesn't he ever put his great E Street Band on his album covers with him?  You've sure got a guilty look there Bruce.

Bruce Springsteen is suffering from a disease called "Bush Derangement Syndrome" where people spread and believe lies about President Bush simply because they hate him so much.

People who have this disease start with the template that they hate George Bush first, and then fit in all their false "facts" after that.  It seems to me that is exactly what Bruce Springsteen is doing.

Bruce is drinking the Far Left Wing's, Koz and Move On Kool Aid.  Spreading their viscous lies that they can't back up with facts.
 

On September 28, 2007 Bruce and the E Street Band appeared on the "Today Show". While their performance wasn't too bad, I first have to say that Bruce didn't look very good. His hair was all over the place, and he looked like he had just been released from jail after a night in the drunk tank.  I don't understand why he didn't look a bit more polished. He also looked very unhappy and angry like he didn't want to be there very unlike his Today Show performance of 2002.  He pretty much begged people to buy his new album, maybe because his album sales are down because many people don't like his current political lies. During his performance he made some very nasty, untrue political statements about President Bush's Administration. Rather than me taking his comments out of context, you should take a look at exactly what he said in this clip.  CLICK HERE to hear Bruce's Today show comments.

From what I can tell this is what Bruce said:

"Over the past six years we've had to add to the American picture rendition, illegal wiretapping, voter suppression, and no Habeas Corpus to the neglect of our great city of New Orleans and her people. An attack on the Constitution, and the loss of our best men and women in a tragic war."
 
 

On the 60 Minutes television show Bruce Springsteen again made some very harsh accusations against his country.  Click Here to hear what he had to say. By the way Bruce, we're not calling you unpatriotic because of your right to protest which is perfectly valid. But we are saying you ARE unpatriotic if you make these unfounded charges and refuse to offer up any proof of them.

Bill O'Reilly played Bruce's Today Show comments and asked him to provide specific examples of the accusations that he made. O'Reilly played asked the question is Bruce's protests legitimate political dissent, or simply baseless accusations? Click Here to see O'Reilly's comments.
Bill O'Reilly played Bruce's comments from 60 Minutes, and asked Bruce some very basic questions such as where is the proof? Click Here to see the Bill O'Reilly $25,000.00 charity challenge for Bruce Springsteen to answer his accusations with proof.  Actually all O'Reilly stipulated was that Springsteen had to do was show up to get the charity money. I do understand that Bruce is on tour and may not have time to visit O'Reilly, but don't you think he could have set up a future interview?
Since Springsteen would not go in and offer ANY proof of his accusations O'Reilly offered up some new comments.  Click Here to see them. Yes, Bruce, when you bash America, and make very serious accusations against your country, you have a RESPONSIBILITY to back them up with proof! You SHOULD be able to offer this proof if you make these charges, and if you did so you would gain back your respect, and send $25,000.00 to a well deserved charity.

Here Bruce Springsteen VERY rudely calls CNN reporter Soledad O'Brien an IDIOT to her face. Ms. O'Brien was simply asking what Bruce thought about those who question musicians who take political stand. She did not condemn him for that, she simply asked him the question at which point Bruce called her an IDIOT!  Click Here to see Bruce insult Soledad O'Brian.

Bruce, if you're going to make serious allegations, as a high profile person, which is perfectly fine by me, you should be responsible enough to stand up to questioning about them.

If you're not, then SHUT UP AND SING!

This clip is important in the fact that it shows you how uncomfortable Bruce is in being questioned about his politics. He goes on to say that removing President Bush is simply common sense and not a political point.  RIGHT!  The stock market today is DOUBLE where it was when Bill Clinton was in office.  So I guess it only makes sense to remove the man who gave all Americans who work tax cuts to help make that happen.  Moron!

He mentions the Presidents' "circumstantial" evidence in a "rush" to war.

The evidence was overwhelming that Saddam Hussien either had or was compiling nuclear weaponry and that fact has been proven true DESPITE that most of the media has constantly tried to spin it the other way.  We also know he had chemical weapons as he had used them against his own people.

The "rush" to war took 12 years Bruce. Where were you?  That's the length of time Saddam ignored the 17 UN sanctions against him.  But I'm not going to go over all these points again. I've discussed them all on my other page about you, and people can read all about the evidence there:

Bruce Springsteen says there has been Rendition and no Habeas Corpus. 
Really?  To whom is he referring to? 

Can he name a single AMERICAN CITIZEN that has had his rights violated by being held in a jail without the due process of law?

Or is he maybe speaking of those non-military combatants, those TERRORISTS, those non-Geneva Convention following thugs, those NON AMERICANS, those women and child killing MURDERERS caught on the battlefields of Afghanistan and Iraq?

I'm going to assume that's who he meant until he explains himself further. 

Those prisoners are people who have declared war upon America and are not following the rules of engagement as outlined by the Geneva Convention.

They don't wear uniforms, they don't represent any country's government and they are NOT AMERICANS. 
Because of that, we as AMERICANS do NOT have to afford them the luxury of Habeas Corpus. 

But Liberals like Bruce Springsteen want to offer these people who are actively killing our soldiers, and I might add, innocent women and children, our AMERICAN rights.

I'm sorry, I'm one of the great AMERICANS who do not believe these scum deserve ANY of our rights because they are NOT Americans. 
They are simply insane terrorists killing innocent people randomly.
They are roaches, they are snakes, and quite honestly in my opinion they should be not even be held as prisoners, they should be killed on the battlefield in cold blood. 

The ONLY value they hold for me, a great American, is the intelligence value they may have to catch and kill even more of these insane MURDERERS.

For the record President Bush's suspension of Habeas Corpus, ONLY for the FOREIGN PRISONERS captured on battlefields outside of the United States, was approved by Congress through the Military Commissions Act.

So Bruce, it's not President Bush's suspension of Habeas Corpus, it's CONGRESS who approved this act.

The Military Commissions Act of 2006, signed by President Bush, that was approved by
Congress, including many Democrats, stipulates that the right of habeas corpus should be denied ONLY to ALIENS detained by the United States, and NOT United States citizens.

Lawyers for the FOREIGN TERRORISTS captured on battlefields OUTSIDE of the United States brought their case to the United States Supreme Court In December 2007. Supreme Court Justice Antonin Scalia had just ONE question for the lawyers which they could NOT answer (just like you can't Bruce): Justice Scalia asked:  "Do you have a single case, in the 220 years of our country -- or, for that matter, in the five centuries of the English Empire -- in which habeas was granted to an alien in a territory that was not under the sovereign control of either the United States or England? In 220 years of our history, or five centuries of the British, do you have a single case in which it was not a citizen of England or a citizen of the United States in which a common law writ of habeas corpus issued to a piece of land that was not within the sovereign jurisdiction? You are appealing to a common law right that somehow found its way into our Constitution without -- as far as I can discern -- a single case, a writ ever issued to a non citizen."

So Bruce, while you cry about our Constitution being trampled on the simple fact is that it is the TERRORISTS and their leftist lawyers who want to trample on it. 

The same assertions you made were brought to the Supreme Court, the same way you presented them, WITH NO PROOF!!!

What about these four men, ALL convicted terrorists?
ALL of them got fair trials.

Jose Padilla

Richard Reid

Zacarias Moussaoui

John Walker Lindh

Jose Padilla an illegal enemy combatant ant is a terrorist held here in the US and he was given a fair trial by law. He was was found guilty of all charges against him on August 16, 2007 by a federal jury, which found that he conspired to kill people in an overseas Jihad and to fund and support overseas terrorism.

Richard Reid, the convicted failed airplane shoe bomber, was given a fair trial by jury. 
Zacarias Moussaoui, who is NOT an American citizen, but was also given a fair trial and who was also convicted, says that he and Reid were meant to hijack the 5th plane on 9/11 and had intended to fly it into the White House.

John Walker Lindh got a plea bargain deal even though he conspired with Al Quaeda and supplied his services to the Taliban.  That makes him a TRAITOR who committed TREASON against the United States could have been put to death for his crimes.

All four of these convicted terrorists, one of whom is not even an American citizen, were given fair trials. 

Bruce is also claiming that President Bush has authorized illegal wiretapping.  Really?
Then why is it in the last six years that no charges have been brought against him for doing so?
Congress has accused the President of these wiretaps but have produced no real evidence against him. 
The wiretaps that have happened are of people speaking to known terrorists in other countries, NOT between American citizens here in the United States. 
And these wiretaps were ALL known to the ranking members of Congress.
 

But speaking of wiretaps, lets talk about the last administration.  It was Bill Clinton who illegally used the Echelon program in which he allowed the National Security Administration to wiretap and spy on American citizens all throughout the 1990's.  It was Bill Clinton who had the NSA monitor MILLIONS of personal American phone calls, e-mails, faxes, and ATM transactions inside the United States -  ALL WITHOUT A COURT ORDER!

Mr. Wiretap

It also seems that Bill Clinton used Echelon not just to spy on potential terrorists.  Evidence exists that he actually used it for political purposes.  Bill Clinton actually used Echelon wiretaps to spy for him and help him win the 1996 Presidential election!

The New York Times said "ECHELON is also being used for purposes well outside its original mission. The regular discovery of domestic surveillance targeted at American civilians for reasons of 'unpopular' political affiliations or for no probable cause at all".

If you're going to make allegations of illegal wiretaps you should not say they have been going on for just the last six years. 

Tell the people the truth that Bill Clinton used them for 8 years to spy on Americans for his own political purposes. 

The National Security Administration's documents PROVE that Bill Clinton had used Echelon to spy on Americans for his own political gain.
 

I might as well mention the fact that Hillary Clinton used illegal wiretaps as far back as 1993 to listen into conversations of political opponents. Meanwhile she criticizes President Bush that allow our intelligence agencies to listen in to conversations being conducted by terrorists as they plot and plan to kill us.  What a Great American she is! Hillary Clinton's Wiretaps

Yep Bruce, You're right on this one. There has been a LOT of voter suppression.

DEMOCRATIC lawyers successfully disqualified approximately 1,400 overseas absentee ballots in Florida in the 2000 Presidential election.  Many of the targeted ballots were from military voters.

ACORN, a left wing group that supports the Democratic Party, committed the greatest voter fraud EVER in history.  ACORN employees have been accused of, and have plead guilty to illegal elections practices in Ohio, New Mexico, Florida, Colorado, Minnesota, Pennsylvania, Wisconsin, and Virginia. ACORN's employee's freely admitted they forged voter registration forms. According to prosecutors, ACORN workers admitted filling out registration forms with names they found in phone books last October (2004).

Click Here to hear this man talk about his multiple voter registrations.

The Liberal New York Times stated that "A five month study for the Democratic National Committee found that more than one in four Ohio voters experienced problems at the polls last fall, but the study did NOT find evidence of widespread election fraud that might have contributed to President Bush's narrow victory there."

In 2006, four employees of the DemocraticJohn Kerry Presidential campaign, the sons of a first term congresswoman, Democratic Representative Gwen Moore, and Milwaukee's former acting mayor, Democrat Marvin Pratt, were among five Democratic activists convicted of the crime of slashing the tires of 27 vehicles rented by Republicans to drive voters and monitor to the polls on Election Day.  DEMOCRATIC Representative Gwen Moore DEMOCRATIC Mayor Marvin Pratt DEMOCRATIC Senator John Kerry These are the actual slashed tires. Article 1 Article 2

It's also interesting to note that most Democrats like Hillary Clinton OPPOSE having voters show a photo ID before they can vote which would greatly help prevent voter fraud so illegal aliens and other ineligible people don't undermine the integrity of the election process.

Mrs. Clinton has also stated that convicted felons be given back the right to vote. 
I wonder why that is?  In 2000 an estimated 10,000 felons voted illegally in Florida. When their voter registration was checked, 85 percent of these convicted felons were registered as Democrats.

Hillary has a very nice constituency.  Evidence has been found that in In 2000, Democratic officials reportedly mailed absentee voter applications and a welcoming form letter from Democratic President Bill Clinton to California immigrants with legal Green Cards even though these people were clearly not yet citizens.

Now the Democrats in an attempt to thwart this problem are voting all over the nation to give illegal aliens drives licensees although there is NO requirement for them to have car insurance.

That will allow illegal aliens to be automatically registered to vote because the "motor voter" program which automatically registers people to vote when they get an election.

How low will the Democrats go to try and steal an election?

You want to keep talking about voter suppression Bruce? 
I could write an entire book on Democratic voting irregularities but I'll drop the issue here with just one last point:

By the way, one last thing Bruce, you should be educated to be aware that there is NO Constitutional right to vote in Presidental elections. None, nada, zip. So since there is NO constitutional right to vote for president in the United States Constitution, there can be NO such thing as "Voter Supression" when it comes to presidential election. I know there are many of you numb brained people who still think that Al Gore won the 2000 presidential election.
Hey Bruce, get your facts straight you uneducated fool!  Welcome to America!

"The Constitution contains many phrases, clauses, and amendments detailing ways people cannot be denied the right to vote. You cannot deny the right to vote because of race or gender. Citizens of Washington DC can vote for President; 18-year-olds can vote; you can vote even if you fail to pay a poll tax. The Constitution also requires that anyone who can vote for the "most numerous branch" of their state legislature can vote for House members and Senate members.

Note that in all of this, though, the Constitution never explicitly ensures the right to vote, as it does the right to speech, for example."

Very simply Bruce, when and where?  It's hard to answer your allegations of this when you simply spit out one word, without citing a single incident, or make any other statements about it.

Especially if you refuse to cite a SINGLE example or ANY proof whatsoever.  But as with ALL your other allegations you never seem to offer up any proof.  You were on the 60 Minutes TV Show, and you gave no examples, you've been touring all over the world, and you gave no examples, you've had countless press interviews, and you gave no examples.

It's DESPICABLE, DECEITFUL, AND DISINGENUOUS for you to spout all these allegations you make and not issue so much as a SHRED (Yep, that's my name!) of proof.  The burden is on YOU to prove them if YOU make such allegations.

So I'll have to tell you Bruce, I'm VERY angry at you over this claim you've made.  You're accusing our President of torture, because you've mentioned this administration specifically, yet you've offered up  NO PROOF whatsoever.  Bearing false witness against your brother is a major sin, and you'll be held accountable for that.

Bruce THIS is torture and murder, and it was sanctioned by Saddam Hussien.  President Bush hasn't cut out any tongues.  He also hasn't GASSED his own countries children to DEATH with chemical weapons.  His soldiers haven't assassinated their own troops.  His offspring haven't personally raped and beaten people to death.  He hasn't thrown people off of buildings as punishment.

Tongues being cut out.	Iraqi Soldiers assassinating fellow soldiers.
Gassed Kurdish children.	Uday Hussien beating Iraqi soldiers.
Finger and hand amputations	Uday Hussein's torture machine.

American workers burned in Iraq

These are Kurds gassed to death by Saddam Hussien.

"The following tortures, punishments and executions, were routine in Iraq during Saddam Hussein's rule of power:  Beatings, Crucifixions, Hammering nails into the fingers and hands, Amputating sex organs or breasts with an electric carving knife,  Spraying insecticides into a victim's eyes, Branding with a hot iron,  Committing rape while the victim's spouse is forced to watch, Medical experimentation's,  Pouring boiling water into the victim's rectum, Nailing the tongue to a wooden board, Extracting teeth with pliers, Using bees and scorpions to sting naked children in front of their parents, and tying ropes to vehicles and posts to rip off their limbs.  Uday Hussein  would personally dip children's feet into acid, and burning them complexity off,  before he began questioning the parents so that they would be more compliant to talk.  That was just the beginning of his torture sessions that would go on for hours and end in maimings and death."

Here's another particularly cruel form of torture that  Saddam Hussien used quite often. This video shows how he had prisoners thrown off the tops of buildings, one after another, to punish them. Click Here to see the video. CAUTION: this video is very graphic and disturbing!

The building tossings are really cruel because they cause server permanent damage, yet in most cases it's not enough to kill the victims.  Some of these people were then beaten in public after the tossings and then thrown into jails were they received little or no medical treatment and suffered for years in immense pain.  Compare this to the Liberals favorite demon of so called torture, waterboarding, where the entire situation is over in just a few minutes and no permanent damage occurs to the individual.

Bruce, I have a lot more videos like this including bloody tongue cuttings and beheadings, but I think I've made my point.  But here is something you should think about when you specifically accuse President Bush of torture.  Liberals claim that "waterboarding" is torture and that President Bush is as bad as "Hitler, Stalin, and Pol Pot" (said by Democratic Senator Dick Durbin on the Senate floor).
 

During approximately 30 briefings in 2002 by the CIA, Democrats, including Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi and Jay Rockefeller, were given virtual tours of the CIA's overseas detention sites, and were told about these methods of interrogation and their response was; "Are these methods tough enough"!

Referring to waterboarding, a practice that years later would be condemned as torture by Democrats
on Capitol Hill, NO objections were raised by the panel.  Instead, at least two lawmakers in the room asked the CIA to "push harder", two U.S. officials said.  Part of this was because the military has never been allowed to perform waterboarding.  These Congress people wondered if it would be better if they should be.

Then Rep. Porter J. Goss (R-FL) was a party to the briefings.
"Among those being briefed, there was a pretty full understanding of what the CIA was doing," said Goss, who chaired the House intelligence committee from 1997 to 2004 and then served as CIA director from 2004 to 2006. "And the reaction in the room was not just approval, but encouragement." 

So if this method of waterboarding is deemed as torture, and thus illegal, will Democratic Representatives Nancy Pelosi and Jay Rockefeller be brought up on charges for being a party to it?
Are they are war criminals like Bush and Cheney have been called?

Will they be criminally investigated by a special counsel and be brought in to testify before Congress?  Will they be sentenced to jail time?!!!

Notice what else Nancy Pelosi knew about: The CIA's so called black sites where terrorists were being held overseas.  And she did NOT object. 

Of the only three cases of waterboarding reported, one was against 9/11 plotter and terrorist Kalid Sheik Mohammed.  He was reported to have been waterboarded for just 2 minutes before he "broke" and confessed to plotting 9/11 and giving up the names of other terrorists and plans, which turned out to be true. Today he lives in an air conditioned jail and gets 3 meals a day.

Bruce, I've gotten more water in my mouth in the surf at Asbury Park than Kalid Sheik Mohammed did on the day he was waterboarded! I bet you have too!

We became aware of Kalid Sheik Mohammed. from this man, Abu Zubayda, a close ranking associate of Osama bin Laden.  He was captured after a fire fight in Pakistan where our intelligence officials wiretapped his phone.  He was being held at Guantanamo Bay, Cuba where he was interrogated for approximately 2 months during which time he gave up no intelligence information. Since we knew for sure from the LEGAL wiretaps that he was a high ranking al Qaeda official, our troops decided there might be a better way to interrogate him. He was waterboarded.  After just 35 seconds he gave up the name and location of Kalid Sheik Mohammed.  THIRTY FIVE SECONDS!

Thirty Five seconds. That's all it took for this piece of human waste to talk.  Now this man also now lives in air conditioned comfort getting three meals a day which are better than what the guards get!  The fact of the matter is that the time for all of our waterboarding put together has lasted less than 4 and one half minutes, and it has only been done to THREE terrorists!

But to this Liberals scream TORTURE!!! They claim that the US is a torture nation and that President Bush is a war criminal for it.  It's simply ridiculous.

Waterboarding is an interrogation method, NOT torture. Torture is using beatings, blow torches, pliers, chains, and many other sadistic methods on people for hours and hours, even days, weeks, and, yes, years which happened to our soldiers in Vietnam such as Senator John McCain.
Torture many times leaves the individual with permanent physical damage. Waterboarding does not.

Torturing someone for hours, especially on someone who doesn't know anything, doesn't work and it's cruel and inhumane.  But waterboarding someone for just a few minutes, of whom we know we have very good intelligence on, through legal methods such as overseas wiretaps works VERY well.

Our intelligence personnel know that if someone doesn't give up any information in just a few minutes of waterboarding that they must knot know very much. Waterboarding someone for hours isn't going to work.  It's going to kill them.  And unlike a beating which can be endured waterboarding seems to produce some pretty good results in a remarkably short period of time. 

I'll venture to say that if YOU'RE going to call it torture, and I'M not willing to call it that, but if YOU are, that it is the MOST humane form of torture used.  That's because it doesn't kill or maim a person, it doesn't leave permanent damage, and the whole thing is over in just a few minutes.

It leaves those terrorist SCUM to live out their lives on the taxpayer dime gaining weight as they have, in a nice comfortable prison cell.

Let's also point out one other important fact. Waterboarding of prisoners has never happened in the United States itself, and it has never happened to an American citizen.  Yep, it's only those non-military combatants, those TERRORISTS, those non-Geneva Convention following thugs, those NON AMERICANS, those women and child killing MURDERERS caught on the battlefields of Afghanistan and Iraq I mentioned before.
 

President Bush ONLY approved wiretaps of those people calling overseas who have some type of known terrorist activity.  What Liberals don't want you to know, and is rarely reported in the media, is that President Bush has stopped DOZENS of major attacks on the United States with this type of intelligence gathering. I'm not going to be sorry if one or two gallons of water, or if listening to an overseas phone call is going to stop another series of 9/11 attacks against America.  I'm not going to apologize for it, I'm not going to feel bad about it, and I am PROUD that we have a man in office like George Bush who knows how to prevent these attacks from happening again. If it's going to stop something like this from happening again, I'm all for it.  So are MOST Americans.

The next time around the World Trade Center attacks will seem like child's play. That's because the the terrorists are actively seeking nuclear weapons and we know it. The president of Iran, al Qaeda, and many other would just love to see a mushroom cloud over the United States. So Bruce, you can continue to spout out your one word of protest, "torture" like a spoiled little kid.  We all know what your referring to.  But most of us don't think of a couple of gallons of water as torture ESPECIALLY if it's going to prevent something like this from happening.  Bruce, WAKE THE #@%! UP!

The only waterboarding being performed in the United States is being performed by the military, to it's own Special Operations soldiers, willingly, to learn how to resist interrogations.

Oh yeah, there IS another group of people who are waterboarding people in America over and over again. It's those wacko anti war kooks who are waterboarding each other! That interrogator babe is pretty tough! Drama Queens! Compare that to the "building tossings" shown above that cause permanent severe physical damage, not just 2 minutes of being uncomfortable. Didn't these people just commit a crime by waterboarding this man?!!!  Call Dick Cheney now!   IDIOTS!

Click Here to watch these wackos waterboard each other!

But Bruce, since you only mentioned one word "torture", and never explained yourself, none of us really know what the heck you are talking about.  But that's how you Drive by Liberals operate. 
You people make accusations, with no evidence, and just keep on screaming things like "Bush Lied, Kids Died" spinning in a circle like spoiled little kids until you pass out from exhaustion and need a nappy.

There's a lesson to be learned about Liberals from this, and we learned it from the Clinton Hate Machine who mastered it.  With Liberals it's the seriousness of the charge that's all important, NOT the actual evidence.

Bruce, I produced my evidence with facts, now where's yours?   Coward.

I'll agree there IS torture going on in America.  It's having to listen to the gang of idiots, 
Hillary Clinton, John Edwards, Nancy Pelosi, Harry Reid, and Ted "The Swimmer" Kennedy's inane comments on a daily basis!

In your statement on the Today show you mentioned "the loss of our best men and women in a tragic war."   Do you really believe that Bruce? 

Because in the 2004 Presidential campaign you strongly supported John Kerry.  Here you describe Senator John Kerry as being able to give America a "sane and responsible foreign policy".

Bruce, when you start supporting Hillary Clinton for President in 2008 I'll be showing the clips of all her flip flops also!

Bruce, I'm going to have to admit that you're right again. Darn!

New Orleans WAS a neglected city.  That's right, it was neglected by the Democrats you support and the wacko environmentalists.

Hurricane Katrina was an act of God.
George Bush did not cause that, despite what some nuts have claimed.

The levee's in New Orleans didn't have to break.  But they did, and the aftermath was a disaster.  Why?

It was the Democratic Envirowackos sued the Army Corps of Engineers (and won) to PREVENT the levee's in New Orleans from being reinforced, are the ones who are now screaming that George Bush doesn't care about poor people.  They claim they sued to preserve the wetlands. They did that and turned ALL of New Orleans into wetlands! 

Back in 1974, the stalwart guardians of the environment at Save Our Wetlands filed suit and stopped a congressionally funded plan to protect New Orleans with a hurricane barrier.  There used to be a link on their web site saying how they were proud of this action, but it's been mysteriously removed now that it's apparent that it was their actions that caused New Orleans to flood.

But it was the sheer incompetence of Louisiana's Democratic politicians that made things horribly worse before and after the disaster.
 

After receiving a call from President Bush, telling him there was a very good chance the levee's would break, New Orleans Mayor Ray Nagin ordered his people to the Superdome! Mayor Nagin was advised to evacuate his citizens, and had the means to do so with thousands of school busses, but instead he put them right in harms way.

Mayor Nagin IGNORED the city's own evacuation plans the responsibilities listed therein.

The New Orleans evacuation plan MANDATED that ALL people LEAVE the city and that the city was responsible for busing all those people out. The evacuation plan, available online, stated that the city would definitely flood during a category 3 hurricane and that NO ONE should remain in the city. Provisions were provided to bus anyone out who could not afford to leave, and the mayor had at least 500-2000 buses at his disposal to move the people out of the danger zone.

The plan can be read by CLICKING HERE.

Here are pictures of just some of the many school busses Mayor Nagin could have used to evacuate his people with. Not only did he allow all these busses to be ruined, he ordered his people to the CENTER of the disaster!
 

Bruce, the GOVERNOR of the state is the one who calls in the National Guard, NOT the President. 

In fact it is AGAINST THE LAW for a President to order troops into a state without the permission of that state's governor under the Posse Comitatus Act of 1878.
 

Governor Blanco is the one you should blame for the "neglect".  It took 3 days for the incompetent governor of Louisiana, Governor Blanco to call out the National Guard.  She's the one who left thousands of people starving and dying for days, NOT George Bush.

The Red Cross says on its web site that Governor Blanco ORDERED them NOT to bring food to the starving people at the Superdome even though they had more than enough supplies nearby.

They said she told them that she did not want to "create a magnet for more people to come to the Superdome".  So Mayor Nagin ordered the people to the Superdome, and Governor Blanco refused to let the food and supplies get to them.  Nice teamwork by the Democrats who "care"!
 

Instead of accepting President Bush's offer for help, Governor Blanco inexplicably called the FORMER, IMPEACHED President, Bill Clinton, and asked him what to do! She then called to FORMER head of FEMA under Bill Clinton,  James DeWitt and asked him what to do! One can only hope that Clinton's response was "Stop being such a moron and accept the Presidents help!"

There's tons more I could say about New Orleans including the misappropriations of funds by the Democrats from the BILLIONS of dollars of aid that President Bush sent down there.

How come Mississippi, and Florida didn't have the same problems as Louisiana did?

The answer is with the Democrats of Louisiana ran one of the most corrupt states in the nation for a half a century, and from them preventing the levee's to be built. Those things combined with them preventing President Bush to send immediate help after the disaster, and not heeding his and the National Weather Service warning them of imminent disaster, and from them not following the cities own evacuation plans.

All of these problems created by the Democrats of Louisiana combined to create the perfect storm of Socialist disaster that New Orleans became.

While the left wing media such as CNN ("The Communist News Network" AKA known as "The Clinton News Network") showed all of the poor people stranded on rooftops, and starving at the Superdome and blaming President Bush for not caring, they conveniently forgot to tell the truth about the situation such as the Mayor ignoring the cities evacuation plans, the Governor refusing federal and Red Cross help.

Instead the media showed the now known to be made up stories about murders and rapes at the Superdome, and didn't mention that the President's help was RIGHT THERE but that he was prevented by FEDERAL LAW from sending troops in UNTIL the Governor requested them.

You've mentioned that the President should be impeached, but you didn't mention that an impeachable offense by him would have been to violate the Posse Comitatus Act.

While your ignorant buddy Kanye West declared that "George Bush doesn't care about black people", it seems like he, the media, and you, were unaware of the law.

It wasn't President Bush who stopped the levee's from being built, nor was it he who prevented the city from being evacuated, nor was it he who refused help to arrive to the flooded city, nor was it he who misspent the billions of dollars of aid that went to the city after the natural disaster.

He also didn't cause the disaster by not signing the Kyoto Treaty as Robert Kennedy Jr. ridiculously claimed.

No Bruce, it was your Democratic Socialistic friends who neglected New Orleans.
You can spin it any way you want, just like the leftist media did, but that doesn't change the facts of what REALLY happened.

Isn't it just amazing that all the Liberal Idiots who criticized our government for not helping the people in New Orleans want to put the government in charge of our health care!

That right there is the main problem with Democratic Liberalism, it's simply never consistent, and by the way, it never works to fix problems either.

Bruce Springsteen and his Liberal Democratic friends keep crying about the "Division of Wealth" and the lack of health care in America like we're all living the the The Great Depression. Nothing could be further from the truth as America is living in the greatest period of prosperity in the history of the planet.

What the heck is the "Division of Wealth" Bruce?  You make it sound like there was this big pile of money and most of it was given to a select few people and withheld from the rest.

I have news for you Bruce.  Most of the wealth in the country was created from the hard work by the people who EARNED it, and, by the way, paid ENORMOUS taxes on it, it was not given to them. 
Except, of course, those overpaid idiots like actors and rock stars:)

People start businesses, and work extremely hard to make money.  America has the highest standard of living in the entire world. Even our poor people are considered wealthy compared to over 50% of the world.  Our wages are higher, our unemployment lower than all other countries.

So I guess you want a more equitable division of the wealth?  That's code for taking it from the rich and giving it to the poor. Which is, of course, SOCIALISM!
 

Do you need another lesson in economics Bruce?  It's the wealthy who support most of the tax burden in America. All that is explained here: Bruce Springsteen's Political Lies of 2004

If you want to know just how effective the mainstream media is, it is amazing how many people that fall into the categories below think President Bush is screwing them and Bill Clinton was the greatest President ever.  If ANY Democrat is elected, ALL of them say they will repeal the Bush tax cuts and a good portion of the people that fall into the categories above can't wait for it to happen. 
Notice that those making $30,000 had thier taxes almost CUT IN HALF by President Bush!
That's what the Democrats call "Tax cuts for the rich"!

Presidential candidate, former ambulance chasing attorney, and New Orleans mortgage forecloser (Oops!), John Edwards claims that these 37 million Americans currently "struggle with incredible poverty." John Edwards, while living in a multi million dollar mansion purchased with the money he earned from suing doctors under false pretenses, and the money he made from hedge funds that forecloses on the homes of devastated New Orleans, asserts that America's poor, who number "one in eight of us…do not have enough money for the food, shelter, and clothing they need," and are forced to live in "terrible" circumstances. However, an examination of the living standards of the 37 million persons performed by the US Census Bureau, whom the government defines as "poor," reveals that what Edwards calls "the plague" of American poverty might not be as "terrible" or "incredible" as candidate Edwardscontends.

How Poor Are America's Poor? Examining the "Plague" of Poverty in America Forty-three percent of all poor households actually own their own homes. The average home owned by persons classified as poor by the Census Bureau is a three bedroom house with one-and-a-half baths, a garage, and a porch or patio. Eighty percent of poor households have air conditioning. By contrast, in 1970, only 36 percent of the entire U.S. population enjoyed air conditioning. Only 6 percent of poor households are overcrowded. More than two-thirds have more than two rooms per person. The average poor American has more living space than the average individual living in Paris, London, Vienna, Athens, and other cities throughout Europe. (These comparisons are to the average citizens in foreign countries, not to those classified as poor.) Nearly three-quarters of poor households own a car; 31 percent own two or more cars. Ninety-seven percent of poor households have a color television; over half own two or more color televisions. Seventy-eight percent have a VCR or DVD player; 62 percent have cable or satellite TV reception. Eighty-nine percent own microwave ovens, more than half have a stereo, and more than a third have an automatic dishwasher.

Here is a "poor" woman living in government paid public housing. She says "I might be poor but I don't like to live poor. I thank God for a place to live but it's pitiful what people give you." PITIFUL?!!! This woman gets government assistance, free government housing, free medical care, and do you also notice that she also owns a 60 inch widescreen high definition PLASMA TV!!!  This "poor" woman, Sharon Jasper, also said "I'm tired of the slum landlords, and I'm tired of the slum houses".  SLUM housing?!!!

Plasma TV Slum! with hardwood floors and a microwave oven!
