THE INCREDIBLE RECORD OF GEORGE W. BUSH
As of July, 2006

"The Moving Finger writes;
and having writ moves on:
nor all your Piety nor Wit
shall call it back to cancel half a line,
Nor shall all your tears wash out a Word of it."
The Rubaiyat of Omar Khayyam
Translation by Edward Fitzgerald

THE TRUTH CAN EITHER "SET YOU FREE,"
OR IT CAN DESTROY YOU.
BUT THE TRUTH CAN ONLY SET YOU FREE
WHEN YOU ARE OPEN AND COMPETENT TO RECEIVE THE TRUTH.

    The first segment below compiles a summary "Resume," a "picture-by-the-numbers" of the documented record compiled by the values and works of George W. Bush and his administration.  This factual record is a reflection of Bush's general moral character, intellectual competence as defined by his economic, political and moral works since 2001.  It sadly reveals, by his own actions, his incapacity to recognize and respond to the core Spiritual values reflected in human needs.   Those are the needs, hopes and dreams of the American electorate.    

    The second section is an easily understood detailed summary account of the economic and related works of the George W. Bush Administration. This appalling record was documented in an oversize page in the July, 2006 issue of the monthly newsletter, The Jim Hightower Lowdown.   I have provided below, a direct access to the Hightower accounting of that record.  It shows Bush's gross and sometimes illegal mismanagement of his public trust.  Even this few data can give you an idea of the scale of abuse already perpetrated, since 2001, against the American people and the values that established our sacred Constitution. 

    George Bush claims he represents Christian values, and by such means has duped the religious rights.  Consider the following guidance from the New Testament which assets that unless his faith is validated by his works, you stand vulnerable to the charge of hypocrisy.  I so charge, and in fact, his entire record is a total repudiation of every teaching in the New Testament, [evidence] yet the liberal, populist, progressive movement entirey avoids identifying with the benevolent and compassionate teachings of Jesus. Why?

"17 So faith by itself, if it has no works, is dead. 18 But someone will say, 'You have faith and I have works. Show me your faith apart from your works, and I by my works will show you my faith'...20 Do you want to be shown, you senseless person, that faith apart from works is barren?...26 For just as the body without the spirit is dead, so faith without works is also dead." [NKJV, James: Ch 2:]
I urge you to read these resources, and please forward this e-mail to all others in your various networks.  The future of our nation depends upon the widest possible public awareness of the truth of our nation's present condition, made possible only by having access to this kind of vital information.
    If you want to follow a populist-progressive account of what is happening in our nation today, consider one of the few effective counter-balancing sources to the systematic filtering and distortion of economic and political data that is evident in the corporate controlled main stream media.  You can subscribe to this excellent resource:  The Jim Hightower Lowdown, at the following address:

    The question all of our electorate will answer in the coming elections of 2006 and 2008, knowingly or not, is whether or not we would have elected George Bush, if we could have known what he would do when we "elected" him in 2000-2004. You can find the data in The Hightower Lowdown special report below:    

"ARE YOU BETTER OFF YET?" 

    Even more importantly, we as a nation, will answer the following question in 2006 and 2008:  "Will we elect any candidate put forward by the same political machine that nurtured and sponsored the now documented record of George W. Bush as is evident in his incredible "resume" you can access below.   Will you elect the same right wing functionaries that compiled the economic record his right wing administration created which is summarized below?"
