Maxine Waters Rocks Rainbow Push Convention: Denounces Bush Lies on War
Maxine Waters Rocks Rainbow Push Convention: Denounces Bush Lies on War
Congress / From After Downing Street Dot Org

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Congress Member and House Judiciary Committee Member Maxine Waters (D., Calif.) shook up the Rainbow Push Coalition's 34th Annual Convention in Chicago today, winning huge standing ovations for a speech denouncing President Bush for lying about the war. Waters announced that she and other members of the Congressional Black Caucus plan to inform the House Democratic Leadership that they will introduce amendments on the issue of the war EVERY DAY from now on.
Waters told the crowd that Democratic National Committee Chairman Howard Dean had received attention for criticizing the Republican Party in recent days, but that "he did not say enough."
"Bush is a liar," Waters said, according to an observer who phoned AfterDowningStreet.org. "He lied about weapons of mass destruction and he lied about the war."
Waters called Vice President Dick Cheney "a thief," and said that he was stealing for Halliburton.
And Waters said that Secretary of State Condoleeza Rice will "go anywhere and say anything they tell her to say, and have the audacity to do it with a smile."
...after which the applause grew too loud for our observer to hear the Congresswoman's remarks.

Now THAT'S what I'm talkin'
Now THAT'S what I'm talkin' about!
The Downing Street Memo
I just found this blog and love what I am reading!!! I am starting to get
really encouraged by the movement to get this stuff out in the public
domain regarding the Bush Crime Family. I spoke to a Vietnam Vet
today and he said this Iraq crap is eerily similar to Vietnam. The only
thing we are missing is the soundtrack.. So here is my contribution to
the conversation. I want to see a discussion thread about protest music.
The media, radio and tv have created a blackout. This is unacceptable.
Please give this song a listen and give me your feedback. It is called
"Man Made" by Jon Singer. You can find it at http://www.jonsingersongs.com/ListeningRoom.html . Thanks!
Sorry
"Man made" is not my cup of tea but I get the song. Just drags a bit too much for me, not enough power behind the words.
Oh yeah baby. Bring it on.
Oh yeah baby. Bring it on.
Ah, Maxine, we love you,lady!
Ms. Waters has been fighting for all of us for a very long time.
She is smart, gutsy and not afraid to tangle with the " good ole boys".
Go, Maxine!
I agree
Kwahlf, you speak for me. Maxine Waters rocks, so does Sheila Jackson-Lee. They come ready for a fight and they ain't scared!
All right! Welcome aboard,
All right! Welcome aboard, Maypo!
;-)
Bush is a liar. Hmmm. Not
Bush is a liar.
Hmmm. Not very hard to say.
Rolls right off the tongue,
Rolls right off the tongue, doesn't it?
The truth is the light
The truth is always easier to say and remember than a lie.
Bush is a liar.
See?
You go, girl!
Wow! She says it just the way that I see it. Bush is a liar. Cheney is just plain evil.How dare Cheney attack Howard Dean for speaking the truth. When did the GOP become the party of the people, the party of diversity? The only diverse members who they find are people who will compromise their heritage and their roots to get that damn key to the executive bathroom. When was the last time Dick Cheney would even stoop to help a common man? Try NEVER. Howard calls it like he sees it and should be lauded for doing so. We Democrats can't let the Repugs divideus. A house or party divided can never stand or win an election. Let's not attack each other. Let us just adopt the chant, Downing Street, Downing Street. I want to see George's face when we put the 95 This's (Bushism) on the White House door.
KEEP UP THE PRESSURE ON THE RADICAL RIGHT, IT'S WORKING
We pushed the envelope and we made a difference. Our voices are not silenced, if so only by our own choice. I urge everyone to sign the petitions, wirte the letters, (which are ususally already prepared), but please just take that 2 minutes and join our fight. We are making a difference and we are making history. In the words of my fav band, the Beatles...
"You say you want a revolution,
Well, you know,
We all want to change the world.
You tell me that it's evolution,
Well, you know,
We all want to change the world,
But when you talk about destruction,
Don't you know you can count me out,
Don't you know it's going to be alright,
You say you got a real solution,
Well, you know,
We'd all love to see the plan.
You ask me for a contribution,
Well, you know,
We're all doing what we can,
But if you money for people with minds of hate,
All, I can tell you is, brother, you'll have to wait."
You say you'll change the Constitution,
Well you know,
We all want to change your head
You tell me it's the institution,
Well, you know,
You'd better free your mind instead
But if you go around carrying pics of chairman Mao ( or George W. Bush)
You ain't gonna make it anyhow.
When the president talks to
Here are some song lyrics for you.
From the group The Bright Eyes.
When the president talks to God
Are the conversations brief or long?
Does he ask to rape our women's rights
And send poor farm kids off to die?
Does God suggest an oil hike
When the president talks to God?
When the president talks to God
Are the consonants all hard or soft?
Is he resolute all down the line?
Is every issue black or white?
Does what God say ever change his mind
When the president talks to God?
When the president talks to God
Does he fake that drawl or merely nod?
Agree which convicts should be killed?
Where prisons should be built and filled?
Which voter fraud must be concealed
When the president talks to God?
When the president talks to God
I wonder which one plays the better cop
We should find some jobs. the ghetto's broke
No, they're lazy, George, I say we don't
Just give 'em more liquor stores and dirty coke
That's what God recommends
When the president talks to God
Do they drink near beer and go play golf
While they pick which countries to invade
Which Muslim souls still can be saved?
I guess god just calls a spade a spade
When the president talks to God
When the president talks to God
Does he ever think that maybe he's not?
That that voice is just inside his head
When he kneels next to the presidential bed
Does he ever smell his own bullshit
When the president talks to God?
I doubt it
I doubt it
"They want the federal government controlling Social Security
like it's some kind of federal program."

Bush Needs To be Impeached
I think lying to the American People to go to war justifies high crimes and
misdeamnors. This President and vice president has the blood of all of our dead soldiers on thier hands because they planned this war. The Downing street memo proves it.
THIS IS IMPEACHABLE, BUT WE HAVE A REPUBLICAN CONTROLLED CONGRESS, A BUNCH OF FANATICAL NUTS WHO COME MID TERM WILL HAVE A HARD TIME GETTING RELECTED.
BUSH DOESN'T CARE ABOUT THEM SO WHY DON'T THEY UPHOLD THE CONSTITUTION THAT THEY HAVE BEEN USING AS TOILET PAPER AND DO WHAT IS RIGHT..IMPEACH THIS PRESIDENT AND HOLD HIM FOR WAR CRIMES.
Here Here!
Well said Kathy! You speak for me!

Actually there are 2 versions of the song
Actually there are 2 versions of Revolution by the Beatles. The orginial that you have the lyrics for and the so called "Loud" version. The only difference is John Lennon changed ONE line...

Sorry Kathy, you will need to post a reference link to the song's owner. Oops! That would be Michael Jackson, wouldn't it?
