George Bush is now claiming that original paperwork filled by the CIA regarding
WMD and materials in Africa were eaten by his Border Collie, Butch. The
paperwork had the original signature sign-offs by Bush and other members of his
Admin.

This is not a JOKE, and was just reported on CNN, 1010-WINS and Fox.

America needs AuH2O: Where have you gone, Barry Goldwater?
The Union Leader, Manchester, NH ^ | 7/16/03 | editorial


REPUBLICANS nominated Barry Goldwater as their candidate for President 39
years ago today. It wasn't until 16 years later that Goldwater's ideas found
their way into the White House. Now, 14 years after Ronald Reagan left
office, Goldwater-style conservatism is struggling to maintain any kind of
place under the Republican Party's "big tent." In Washington, President Bush
has ratcheted up the spending so fast it's a wonder his right arm hasn't
fallen off. According to an analysis earlier this year by the libertarian
Cato Institute, non-defense discretionary spending has increased 18 percent
in Bush's first two years in office. In Ronald Reagan's first two years in
office, it fell by 14 percent.

Bush is expanding the federal role in education, health care and welfare. He
's buying off constituencies with a zeal that brings to mind thoughts of
LBJ. It's as if Ted Kennedy were Bush's domestic policy adviser.

The situation is better in New Hampshire, but it is unclear by how much.
Gov. Craig Benson talks like Mel Thomson, and he even vetoed a budget. But
that budget wasn't too far off from the one the governor himself offered.

The good news is that Benson's approval ratings went up after the veto. At
least in New Hampshire, the people want smaller, more efficient government.
Whether they will ever get it depends on whether there are any Goldwater
Republicans left in the party, and how much influence they can scrape up.

Barry Goldwater said during the Nixon administration, "We are conservatives.
This great Republican Party is our historic house. This is our home." Only
the activism of Goldwater conservatives within the party made this
observation a reality a few years later. If that activism doesn't resurge
soon, the party could be lost for decades.
