Since new CIA Director Porter Goss blocked the October Surprise agency left-wingers had prepared against Bush (discussed in "Porter At The Pass" last week), they desperately rigged another one, working with Mohammed ElBaradei at the U.N.
What nobody is focusing on in Al Qaqaagate is that the CIA is behind it. The anti-Bush lefties are now known as the "Rogue Weasels" at Langley, and they are frantic to do whatever they can to elect Kerry. They cooked up this entire phony "tons of missing explosives" scandal, sweet-talked the head of the U.N.'s nuclear inspection agency, ElBaradei, to carry their water and leak it to CBS which drooled at the opportunity to spring the story on election eve. They then briefed Kerry and prepared his instant assault on Bush once the surprise broke.
But some clever pro-Bush Langley folks, seeing they couldn't spike the story at CBS, sweet-talked the New York Times into jumping the gun, spoiling the surprise and giving the Bush campaign time to tear the phony scandal apart. Then they leaked it to Drudge, whose website promptly blew the lid off the whole scam.
The Al Qaqaa scandal (the site of the "missing" explosives in Iraq is named Al Qaqaa isn't that just too beautiful?) becomes Al Qaqaagate, and Kerry ends up looking like the opportunist fool he is, so clueless he doesn't realize he's accusing American soldiers in Iraq of "incredible incompetence" rather than Bush.
This was the last gasp of the Rogue Weasels. Porter's Purge is coming upwards of 80 Bush-hating left-wing Kerry stooges are going to be fired at the CIA in November. Looks like the pro-America guys are going to be running the Company once again.
There is a simple answer here. The mega-rich, i.e., the Kennedys, the Heinz-Kerrys, Rockefellers, etc., by and large, derive their income from dividends, not wages. Dividends are not taxed at the same rate as wages. This is how TerAAAAsa gets away with paying a scant 12% on her income, while successful working Americans, mostly small business owners, pay almost triple that amount, not to mention all the "hidden" taxes. What sKerry has proposed is an increase in the top marginal income brackets from wages by eliminating the Bush tax cuts. This would not affect dividends. sKerry would probably raise the Capital Gains tax rate back to 20% as well. This means small business owners, that is those who employ about 80% of our workforce, would be hit the hardest under a sKerry administration. Don't get me wrong, I'm not supporting sKerry, but given this, if you were mega rich, wouldn't you support sKerry too?
One thing is for sure, if sKerry is elected and these sorts of tax policies are enacted the economy is certain to slow down and government tax receipts will also go down. Then, sKerry will go out and say that there isn't enough money and the rest of the American workers will be taxed and the mega rich will sit back, sipping lattes while the rest of us try to make ends meet.
Great news, but I will believe it when I see it.
I find Jack Wheeler to be one of the more believable "insiders", however.
Sheesh. Make that "lose".
you would have to replace 80 to 90 percnt of the govie workers.
You are assuming these "Rogue Weasels" are political appointees, who can be dismissed with changes in administrations. Not so, these "Rogue Weasels" are career employees who have been doing damage for literally decades. They have beeen extremely difficult to root out, although now may be our best shot at being finally rid of them, permanently...
