Meet Joe Knollenberg - the best friend George W. Bush ever had.

The American people have seen through the President’s lies on Iraq. They understand that he is sending young Americans to die in an irrational war. They know that we should have never been in Iraq and that we need to get out.

Joe Knollenberg doesn’t care. He’s willing to trade the blood of American soldiers for bigger profits at Exxon and Halliburton.

Why? Because that’s what George W. Bush and the Republican Party have told him to do, and he doesn’t have the courage to defy them.

He’s not only wrong about the war.

There’s his unblinking support of the Republican fiscal policies that have hurt 90 percent of Americans in order to benefit the elite.

His unwillingness to face the problem of global warming, because it might upset his corporate benefactors.

His embrace of “immigration reform” as a way to avoid taking a serious look at national security issues.

His decision to vote for billions in tax cuts while our schools and bridges crumble.

Is that enough?

After 15 years in Congress without a single notable achievement, his lack of courage and principle isn’t surprising. But that doesn’t make it acceptable.

In 2008, George W. Bush will go home.

Let’s send Joe Knollenberg with him.
