The remarkable thing about Marc Umile's Bush Unplugged is that it accessible to people from all parts of the political spectrum. Umile's style is conversational, the information easily absorbed. I had fun reading this book even as I shuddered at the implications of the myriad undemocratic, self serving, and downright immoral activities of the folks currently administering The People's affairs. We should ALL read Bush Unplugged - NOW - BEFORE NOVEMBER 2nd!

I'm an avid reader but I tend to focus my attention on the likes of John Grisham and James Patterson. I've never read a political book in my life because I have no interest in,or clue about politics. For this very reason a friend of mine insisted that I read Bush Unplugged and I am so glad I finally took the literary political plunge. I was riveted from the first page,and throughout the book I could not believe what I was reading.I was blown away by what I did not know about the president and his cronies and how these stories are not reported on the evening news.Thanks to MR. Umile's book I feel like my eyes are open and I should spend more time reading about the money and power issues that drive our political figures.I had no clue and always put my trust in our leaders.What a fool I've been. Umile calls himself a "research junkie."I call him a brilliant public servant who opened my eyes.

If you have wondered where this administration came from, Marc Umile does a great job of answering that question. He makes it abundantly clear--with compelling arguments and persuasive evidence--that George W. Bush is neither compassionate nor conservative. It brings to mind the witticism about the meaning of "compassionate conservative": they still won't help you, but they feel really bad about it! Except this guy doesn't feel a thing. Not a thing.

As you read this book, think about the principles that have defined traditional Republicanism: a commitment to balanced budgets, Constitutional government, a non-interventionist foreign policy, and keeping the government out of our personal lives. This administration--with its massive federal deficits, its promotion of the Patriot Act, its aggressive wars abroad, and its intrusion into the most intimate aspects of our privacy-- violates all four of those principles.

Mussolini observed that "fascism" could be defined as corporatism, since it represents the merger of big business with big government, a coalition characterized by rampant nationalism and aggressive militarism. The leader is identified with the state, which makes criticism of the leader unpatriotic or even treasonous. Ask yourself where we find ourselves at the beginning of this new millenium. As you will discover here, the situation is more than a little frightening.

My Democrat friend begged me to read one chapter, 'just this one chapter' she said. I was bitten by the information, by Mr. Umile's straight-forward writing style and read the entire book.
His voice is fresh, he's a political independent who tracked down incredible information on Mr. Bush, his family and regime; how can I ignore the facts. Just the facts.
Read this and weep my fellow Republicans.

Bush Unplugged is a concise but encyclopedic collection of wrongs that GW, his family and his ilk have perpetrated on the American people and the world. This is truly a mind-boggling, eye-opening book. The research is valid and powerful - all culled from mainstream press and yet, strangely, completely overlooked by the American people. Lately, it seems the pendulum is beginning to swing back to normalcy and this is just the kind of read we need to inspire us to take back our country.

This is not a book for leftist wackos or right wing doughheads. This is a book for real Americans who genuinely care for this great country and are curious as to whether or not it is being shepherded as well as it truly can be?

Ben Franklin would have been PROUD to print this book. This is the exactly the kind of publication one would expect to have seen coming off his press when we were fighting that other enemy who believed in Elitism and Entitlement.

Amen, Mr. Umile. Amen. This book is definitely the medula oblongata of my collection. Thanks.

Marc Umile's "Bush Unplugged," hits the bush administration right between the eyes with a 98 mph fastball. writing in a clear crisp, hardhitting style not seen since the days of the great gonzo journalist,Hunter Thompson, Umile strips the skin off George w Bush and reveals the ugly, dark, deceitful nature of the inner man who is now president of the united states. this honest, articulate assessment of George Bush is must reading for every patriotic american who believes in the america that our forefathers fought and died for. This book will light a fire underneath every American who reads it and inspire one and all with this overriding message: the american people must take back their country from the greedy, corrupt politicians and the powerful monied interests that put them into power.

This writer has a unique style that keeps you up late at night wanting to read more. Good points were made and I appreciated the references to back the information provided.
