The documentary titled Bush
Family Fortunes should be required viewing to anyone who is planning to
vote in the 2008 election. Those who
are aware of the crimes and incompetencies of the Bush administration will
likely not be surprised by much of the information contained within this film,
though most are likely to find out a wealth of information about the
Liar-in-Chief that is new to them since practically none of it was ever aired
on mainstream television. Of course, the
real audience that needs to see this film, those mental defectives who still
support Bush, would walk away from their television sets with their jaw
literally dragging on the floor; some might even actually pass away as a result
of a stroke that caused their closed minds to shockingly spring into overdrive
as they attempt the impossible cognitive feat of trying to justify the immense
wealth of information contained in Bush
Family Fortunes that paints a horrifying portrait of a man and family
willing to sacrifice the lives and fortunes of thousands of less privileged
Americans in order to protect and shelter one of their own. Just what kind of things will you learn by
watching Bush Family Fortunes?
George W. Bush soared over thousands of other more
deserving, but less advantaged young men to worm his way into the Texas Air
National Guard despite receiving a score of just 25 out of a 100 on the entry test. A score of 23 is considered “too dumb to
fly.”
Attaining the position in the Air National Guard and
receiving training as a pilot without having already having been a pilot had
never been accomplished in the history of this country…until George W. Bush
managed it.
A $1,000 reward for anyone who provides evidence that George
W. Bush ever served in Alabama during this National Guard duty has yet to be
claimed. Nobody, not even someone willing to take the money of the Bush family
to lie about it, has yet come forward with even semi-questionable evidence to
support Bush’s contentions.
Karen Hughes, Chief of Staff of Governor George W. Bush, has been acknowledged as the person who issued
a “request” that no documentation
that could have embarrassed Bush regarding his National Guard service be
allowed to be seen by the public.
George W. Bush’s documentations as they currently exist in
regard to his alleged Air National Guard service in Alabama are such that he
would legally be considered AWOL. In
fact, under military law the series of events described in Bush’s documentation
would, if he were anyone else, result in a court martial and dishonorable
discharge.
Katherine Harris, the woman in charge of counting the votes
in Florida in 2000, also happened to be Chair of George W. Bush’s 2000
Presidential campaign in Florida. (Wow,
what a coincidence that was!)
179,855 votes were
never counted in Florida in the 2000 Presidential election and more than
half of those votes were cast by African-Americans.
94,000 voters who were not allowed to vote in the 2000
Florida Presidential election because voter rolls—supplied by DBT ChoicePoint
and approved by Jeb Bush and Katherine Harris, who may well be the ugliest
Republican power player since Mary Matalin—identified them as convicted felons.
Post-election research concluded that 95%
of these voters were never convicted of any crime. Harris on the Florida vote-counting process: “I
wish to point out that American democracy has triumphed once again.”
Just three days after being inaugurated, Pres. George W.
Bush signed an executive order raising the price of electricity in California,
thus launching the Enron scandal.
Nineteen of the biggest Bush contributors in 2000 were
immediately appointed to ambassadorships.
Texas is the number one state in the country for air
pollution, yet Pres. Bush’s council that devised his new energy policy that, by
the way, was not only totally voluntary but let big business decide how to
clean up their pollution, was made up almost entirely of large campaign
contributors from…Texas. Andrea
McWilliams, a lobbyist for Enron, has this to say about Bush: “He is an honest,
equitable, hard-working man, and that’s why we’ve supported him unequivocally.”
The FBI wanted to interview the older brother of Osama Bin
Laden before September 11, 2001 to discuss their involvement with possible
terrorist organizations. The FBI was
told not to. Why? Because the Bin Laden family invested money in
Arbusto, George W. Bush’s failed oil company.
Dick Cheney was going over maps of Iraq with oil company
executives before the invasion even was fully planned. Despite the fact that the administration and
conservative pundits and GOP legislators have consistently contended that the
one justification out of the 273 that have been forwarded for the Iraq invasion
that does not apply is that it is most definitely not a war about oil. And yet, in his speech just before announcing
that hostilities would begin (thank God the mission was completed and
hostilities ended five years ago) one of only three pieces of advice that Bush
gave to the citizen of Iraq was to plead with them “Do not destroy oil
wells.”
And finally the single most memorable quote to be heard in Bush Family Fortunes. It was also spoken by Andrea McWilliams, that
hysterically funny comedienne whose day job was lobbying for Pres. George W.
Bush to make policy decisions for all Americans that benefitted Enron, the
poster child for criminally negligent big business. “There is no way that giving money to George
W. Bush is going to influence his decision one way or the other.”
