Kerry & Bush are both of Skull and Bones...
love,

A little-known fact unites Democratic frontrunner John Kerry and President Bush: they are both members of Yale's secret society Skull and Bones. President George W.

Why did John Kerry suddenly surge as the frontrunner?

Talk-Show State of the Union
Mark Gabrish Conlan,

President Bush's January 20 State of the Union Address was delivered in a tone that peculiarly combined backwoods preacher and talk-show host, at once claiming a direct line to God and ridiculing his enemies. Bush's vision of America is that of the 1890's, where the corporate rich ruled supreme, the government protected them from any responsibility towards the social harm caused by their actions, and instead invoked traditional religious values to keep the poor and working-class people in line.

Eric Isaacson,

San Diego Girl Scouts 2004 Cookie-Sales Kick-Off Rally at Sea World Supports "Operation Iraqi Freedom," Joining President George W. Bush in Proclaiming "Mission Accomplished"

The San Diego-Imperial Girl Scouts organization apparently drafted our children - - without our informed consent - - to participate in a public demonstration of support for a right-wing President's program of aggressive military adventurism. Adventurism that a Girl Scout spokeswoman praised as "preserving our freedoms."
