The Guy James Show Blog

We’ve been out on personal business last week and this week as well.  We’ll return June 3rd. 

Thanks for your patience and support

The mainstream media has been remiss, or possibly just plain negligent in not pointing out tht John Sidney McCain is more like the Jr. Bush the public sees than Jr. Bush himself.  You see, McCain was for the war and for the surge before even Bush himself was for it.  Since the very beginning of our immoral, ill-advised conflict in Iraq, John Sidney McCain has been the biggest cheerleader of them all.  Don’t forget, Jr. was once a cheerleader himself.  One has the feeling that as President he would tear down the State Department building and build another parking garage for the Pentagon.  Diplomacy?  Obviously, McCain has no room for it in his world opinion. 

He wanted a massive presence of our military might to invade Iraq even before we went in.  But, despite not getting his wish with the numbers of troops, McCain stuck with Donald Rumsfeld like glue.  He constantly echoed Rumsfeld’s positive assessment of the war.  He never missed an opportunity to hail the “progress the U.S. supposedly made in Bush’s misbegotten adventure into Persia. 

Who can forget his comments from the market in central Baghdad proclaming it “was as safe as any other market place in the world”?  Of course his words came as there were hundreds of heavily armed members of the American military surrounding him along with private Blackwater mercenaries, a few military helicoptors flying overehead and an Iraqi public which had been searched and screened with metal dectectors.  Yes, it was, at that moment, VERY safe because with that kind of force present one could have been safe smack dab in the middle of the Battle of the Bulge, or maybe even Chicamunga or the Battle of Bull Run. 

 And who can forget his recent show of complete ignorance of even who we are fighting in Iraq?  The man has been to Iraq many times, supposedly studied the situation before making critical decisions on it and now we find that he hasn’t even an elementary understanding of the various military and social alliances in Iraq and Iran.  This is VERY disturbing and yet, the mass media passed it off as some kind of funny little slip of the tongue.  Incredible!

Tax cuts?  I think it can be argued that when Jr. Bush fought for tax cuts for the wealthy, he probably had no idea of the negative financial ramifications to our national budget.  It was shoot first and ask questions later type of action.  Now John McCain on the other hand, now knows full well the tremendously negative consequences those Bush tax cuts have had on our economy and yet he is willing to fight to the finish for them to be extended.  I find this to be utter indifference to the plight of the middleclass and the poor of this country.  He knows further cuts will damage the nation and is willing to pander to the rich to extend them in spite of that knowledge.

The housing crunch?  We’ve got a lame duck president gallivanting around the world on a farewell tour who knows we have a critical housing problem in America but also knows its probably too late for him to do anything about it.  MeCain, however is wanting to take the reigns of government for the next four years and is more than willing to keep the onus of the foreclosure problem almost completely on the homeowners, many of whom have been victimized by predatory lenders who pocketed massive profits from the housing boom and are now begging for federal help while the homeowners are being thrown into the streets with no help at all. 

Health care?  Does anyone know what John McCain’s health care plan is?  Anyone know what his plans for Social Security are?  Education?

I’m facinated that people are seriously considering this man for the Oval Office.  To me a decision to vote for John McCain is a vote against progress in this country.  Its a vote for the status quo and I believe the vast majority of Americans agree that the status quo just isn’t good enough at the moment.   

This has been the most unfair, biased media blitz against any candidate in our history.  PLEASE!  View the video about Hillary at this address:  http://noquarterusa.net/blog/

I am saddened and deeply offended that a fellow liberal would refer to one of our candidates as a f#$@&*g whore.  Its been argued that Ms Rhodes did it on her own time and was exercizing her right of free speech.  And, while I agree that she can say what she wants, she must also face the consequences of her vile words against Hillary Clinton.  I’m told she made the remarks at a function partly sponsored by Air America Radio.  If so, they have every right to object to her disgusting words and suspend her from her employment…..maybe even fire her. 

This political campaign has brought out the worst in many people and I believe that responsible liberal broadcasters should not throw gasoline on the fires of political passion for either candidate. 

 While it is fine to back your candidate, it is divisive and atrocious to speak such ugly words towards one of our own candidates.  Such actions taint the Party and the Liberal movement.  The other side has their Ann Coulter.  We don’t need one too. 

We’ll be doing the show live from Washington D.C. at the “Take Back America” conference on Monday the 17th and Tuesday the 18th.  Please join us at www.theguyjamesshow.com

Our President who has demonstrated wisdom and good judgment time and again has vetoed legislation that would keep the CIA from waterboarding suspected terrorists. I said suspected because one does wonder how many innocents have been subjected to this disgusting, arcane, medieval way of interrogating those the CIA thinks may be involved in terrorist activities.

“President Bush’s veto will be one of the most shameful acts of his presidency,” Sen. Edward Kennedy, D-Mass., said in a statement Friday. “Unless Congress overrides the veto, it will go down in history as a flagrant insult to the rule of law and a serious stain on the good name of America in the eyes of the world.”

But then, compared to the grand and infinite wisdom displayed by Jr. Bush during the past 7 years, what does the Army know? After all, they’ve only been involved in prisoner interrogation for 232 years. Obviously, Bush’s judgment would take precedent over such a bunch of rookies.

 Its all that needs to be said about the Republican Party

To all of my loyal listeners,

 We’ll be taking a two week vacation from the show.  When we come back the program will be better than ever. 

Thanks for listening

Please, my Democratic friends, do remember this is a primary election, not World War III.  We don’t have to have all this rancor and hatred from both sides toward the other.  We have two VERY fine candidates……maybe even a ticket here, so lets not get carried away with our passion for Barack and Hillary.  Either way, we win. 

I see Jr. is promoting a 3.1 Trillion Dollar budget with cuts in the Justice Department, the Departments of Education, Interior, Transportation and Agriculture.  However, he wants a 7.5% increase for the Pentagon.  Absolutely amazing if you ask me. 

Tell me Georgie Boy, with cuts in vital services in all of those government agencies, what is going to be left to protect by the ultra-fat Pentagon?

 But then, what else could we expect from the most ignorant SOB to ever sit in the Oval Office?
