Bush / Christian Coalition Rip Off American Indians
It is exceptionally clear that not only does Bush head political organized crime, he also condones racism.
These are sample comments made by Bush cronies about American Indians, while defrauding them of over sixty-six-million dollars, a good portion of which went directly to President Bush. He knows of these racial slurs but remains silent.
These comments were directed at American Indians, including my own tribe, by close Bush associates,
"The f**king troglodytes didn't vote on you today..."
"They are plain stupid Morons."
"These mofos are the stupidest idiots in the land for sure."

Early on, Abramoff made friends who would be vital to his future success. His College Republican campaign had been managed by Grover Norquist, who is now one of Washington's most influential conservative activists. Joining the team as a $200-per-month intern was a baby-faced college student, Ralph Reed. Together, the three of them shaped the organization into a right-wing battle machine. ''It is not our job to seek peaceful coexistence with the Left,'' Abramoff was quoted as saying in the group's 1983 annual report. ''Our job is to remove them from power permanently.'
IMO this is indicative of the lib/con problem we are dealing with today.....
both sides are palying this game and guess who gets damaged? US "regular folks"....

"...After promising not to take money from gambling interests, Bush's campaign fund accepted large contributions from gambling-related sources. His 2001 inaugural committee raised at least $300,000 from gambling interests...Bush's retreat from his antigambling rhetoric came as Republican lobbyists and activist groups collected tens of millions of dollars from Indian tribes seeking to preserve their casinos. Now those payments are the focus of Senate and Justice Department investigations...."
In President Bush's first year in the White House, the administration had roughly 200 contacts with Republican fundraiser Jack Abramoff and his lobbying team as they sought to influence Bush's hires and pressed him to keep the Northern Mariana Islands free from the minimum wage law, documents show.
The reception Abramoff's team received from the administration contrasts with chilly relations during the Clinton years. Abramoff, then at the Preston Gates law firm, scored few meetings with Clinton aides as the lobbyist and the islands vehemently opposed White House attempts to extend U.S. labor laws to the territory's clothing factories...
The meetings between Abramoff's lobbying team and the new Bush administration included Attorney General John Ashcroft and policy advisers in Vice President Dick Cheney's office, according to his lobbying firm billing records.
Abramoff, a $100,000-plus fundraiser for Bush, is now under criminal investigation for some of his lobbying work....

WASHINGTON - When Jack Abramoff bragged about doing "a new kind of lobbying" for the Mississippi Band of Choctaw Indians, his associate Amy Ridenour was impressed. Once it became clear what he was really doing, Ridenour told the Senate Committee on Indian Affairs June 22, a friendship of 20 years came to an end.
The committee struggled to unravel the deeds of Abramoff, a prominent Washington lobbyist, and his associate Michael Scanlon - both alleged to have misled and defrauded the Choctaws of as much as $6.5 million in a single year. The hearing in Washington, D.C., was the third in an ongoing Senate investigation into their lobbying activities with numerous tribes.
If the charges are true, Abramoff and Scanlon picked one of Indian country's savviest tribes to shake down. With no natural resources to speak of, the Choctaw have created a manufacturing base and gaming industry that today make the tribe the second-largest employer in Mississippi....

yes, it is amazing how MS has embraced the gambling... i have visited a few...i prefer to gamble on the pinksheets and the OTCBB tho...you have better odds...
there's something odd about a state that is arguably the most conservative/religious in the country that has such a thriving gambling biz....
"honey that's the last 100$ on the pass line tonight. it's 2AM and we have to be up bright and early for church.."

Such hypocrisy by Bush and by most religions.
that's because 9-11 changed everything....

Well, hmm, 9/11 changed everything. That is a topic to be debated for many years to come.
Previously, America was protected by oceans. This is no longer true. Had Hitler invaded America with the ease he invaded Europe, 9/11 would be viewed in a different light.
Pearl Harbor is often compared to the 9/11 event.
Nonetheless, 9/11 did cause dramatic changes in our thinking and our daily lives.
For Bush, I don't think he changed but rather found a reason to extend his thirst for power.
On gambling, Bush ranted for years, fought against gambling in Texas, until swindled money from Indians, specifically my tribe, started showing up in his pockets. Upon first benefit of fraud money, Bush never said another word about gambling, quite the opposite, he began supporting gambling.
Those events well exemplify how easily is Bush bought by others. Bush is a cheap whore.
