The TRUTH about the Swiftboat Ads

Want to believe what a political analyst that has never served in the military has to tell you? Want to believe everything see you see in a political ad? Sounds kind of naive to me. Visit this site and see for yourself about the Swiftboat anti-Kerry ad. Surprisingly, those speaking out against Kerry never served directly with him. And those that did serve with him, have been supporting him, even appearing at the DNC with him.

OVERTIME PAY UNDER ATTACK

Did you know that George Bush wants to take away overtime pay? Did you know that many families depend on this over-time pay to help them make ends meet in a country full of economic turmoil? Who do you think Bush is looking out for? Certainly isn't your average, everyday American citizen. Read in full about the proposed over-time take away, educate yourself before you vote.

MENTAL HEALTH SCREENINGS FOR CHILDREN AND ADULTS - REQUIRED UNDER BUSH

Do you know that President Bush wants to require every citizen in the United States from pre-school to adulthood to have mental health screenings? Official report from President's New Freedom Commission on Mental Health clearly states : "

Goal 4 - Early Mental Health Screening, Assessment, and Referral to Services Are Common Practice

In a transformed mental health system, the early detection of mental health problems in children and adults - through routine and comprehensive testing and screening - will be an expected and typical occurrence.

[...] Goal 5 - Excellent Mental Health Care Is Delivered and Research Is Accelerated

In a transformed mental health system, consistent use of evidence-based, state-of-the art medications and psychotherapies will be standard practice throughout the mental health system."

 

Read here to find out from the British Medical Journal exactly who will gain from this:

"

Olanzapine (trade name Zyprexa), one of the atypical antipsychotic drugs recommended as a first line drug in the Texas algorithm, grossed $4.28bn (2.35bn [British pounds]; 3.56bn [Euros]) worldwide in 2003 and is Eli Lilly's top selling drug. A 2003 New York Times article by Gardiner Harris reported that 70% of olanzapine sales are paid for by government agencies, such as Medicare and Medicaid.

Eli Lilly, manufacturer of olanzapine, has multiple ties to the Bush administration. George Bush Sr was a member of Lilly's board of directors and Bush Jr appointed Lilly's chief executive officer, Sidney Taurel, to a seat on the Homeland Security Council. Lilly made $1.6m in political contributions in 2000--82% of which went to Bush and the Republican Party."

Does 1984 echo through your head? IT SHOULD!

"I'D STILL INVADE IRAQ TODAY," SAYS PRESIDENT BUSH

It is nice to know that the intentions of our President were good. Note sarcasm. Today, President Bush said that despite what intelligence reports now show and the fact that there have been no weapons of mass destruction he would still invade Iraq to get Saddam out of power because he had 'capabilities' of making weapons of mass destruction. Hmmm. Pakistan has weapons of mass destruction and they have intense al-qaeda ties and terroristic activies. Plus they are an 'evil' Muslim country. North Korea has an evil dictator and the capabilities for weapons of mass destruction. Why Iraq and not them? Because of his personal agenda. That's why!

I am so glad that my brother is in Iraq fighting a war that equates a pissing contest and elementry school mentality.
