Is Peter Roskam hiding from Bush/Cheney?

The IL-06 district race between Republican Peter Roskam and Democrat Tammy Duckworth is an important race being watch by many across the nation. Thus far, Roskam has been a typical Republican, following Rove talking points, distorting Duckworth's record with inaccurate facts, has the RNCC running ads claiming Duckworth said she will raise taxes (She has never said this).

Laura bush backs him, Cheney has spoken for him and he has met with President Bush.

So why then has he removed two photos of him with Dick Cheney and President Bush?

Doing a google image search for "roskam bush" i found this picture originally hosted by the "roskamforcongress.com" site. Yet when one clicks on the hosted page, it is not there. Nor is the picture of him and Cheney.

interesting......

Today (July 13, 2006, 10:50 AM)in the U.S. Senate, a vote was taken on an amendment to the Department of Homeland Security Appropriations Act, 2007 (H.R. 5441).

According to S.Amdt. 4641, the funding was for:

To fund urgent priorities for our Nation's firefighters, law enforcement personnel, emergency medical personnel, and all Americans by reducing the tax breaks for individuals with annual incomes in excess of $1,000,000.

Needless to say, since we currently have a Republican majority, the motion was rejected with the help of 7 democrats.

Vote Counts:
YEAs    38
NAYs    62

Once again the Republican majority in this country show their true nature by voting against the safety and security of the United States of America.

****The poll has been updated @35 votes because i left out some very important people, my bad. ------------------------------------------------------- The 2008 presidential election will be here before we know it, so I thinks its time to start the research and look for a candidate that can help stop the slide America is in. We need to retake the executive branch and restore America to the ideals it was founded upon. The republicans, in full control, have turned this country into a disaster, poverty has risen 5 straight years, gas prices are at record levels while oil company profits are at record levels. When Venezuela cares more about poor Americans than our own government, its time for a change but we need to pick the right person.

So please vote for the person who YOU feel can address YOUR priorities. DON'T pick who you think will win, pick who you want as your president.

***if the person you want is not listed, post it as a comment for the next poll.

This poll adds more choices and information to the official dailykos straw polls, and is therefore a little different.

Halliburton has also hired the former director of the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA)and manager of Bush's campaign for Texas governor in 1994, Joe Allbaugh.

Mayor of Chicago Richard Daley offered 36 firefighters and technical rescue teams, 8 emergency medical techs, search-and-rescue equipment, 100 police officers, 2 boats, a mobile clinic and 140 streets and sanitation workers with 29 trucks. All self sufficient.

and the FEMA response?

"just send one truck."

the incompetence just keeps growing......

FEMA has also rejected ALL outside help thus far.

This is besides the 40 years of questioning whether or not the New Orleans levee system was adequate to withstand hurricanes, just before the storm hit , many officials and engineers anticipated the breach of the levees. So add this to the ~~list~~ volume of lies the Bush Administration continually tells the American people.

The Lie
"I don't think anyone anticipated the breach of the levees."
--Bush, to the knee-padded Dianne Sawyer on ABC's Good Morning America, this morning.

The Truth

Mayor Ray Nagin said that the levee system that protected the city would "most likely" fail. Somberly, he told the camera, "We are facing a storm that most of us have long feared."--Aug. 29, 2005

"The storm surge most likely will topple our levee system." --Ray Nagin New Orleans Mayor Aug. 28, 2005

and to watch the video of LSU's Ivor van Heerden being interviewed by Miles O'Brian at CNN where a storm surge and flooding is predicted.

find "SCI-TECH"

look for Katrina cooking up 'toxic gumbo'

also This KOS diary adds to the mess.

just some thoughts....

It is sad that finally, FINALLY, people are starting to see who George w. Bush really is.

The same man that promised us a 300$ rebate on our 2000 taxes, only to find out it was an advance.

The same man that vowed to catch Osama-Bin-I gotta-away.

The same man that lied about WMD to get Iraqi oil

The same man who simply does not care about the bottom 2/3 of the American people.

Finally, people who voted for this heartless man are beginning to realize what most of us liberals knew in 1999.

Its is a shame that it took a cat. 5 hurricane and the destruction of American cities for bush supporters to realize this.

they died for what?

So, lets see. As of Aug. 22, 2005 1,868 Americans Brits, and 101 "other" as listed by icasualties.org have been killed in this war and and then there are the 2944 Iraqi Police and Guardsmen Deaths.

And now the long awaited Iraqi constitution is just about here, a shining example of republican democracy, written with the blood of American soldiers, an example for the Middle east.... And what do we have? Islamic law in the constitution.

So, what was this whole mess for again?

~~WMD~~
~~Regime Change~~
~~9/11~~
~~Spreading Democracy~~
~~war on terror~~
~~noble cause~~
Islamic State.....{do have a winner yet?}
