3. Bush is what the public gets when it reaches critical stupidity mass.


It also gets Governor Gropenator.

We reap what we sow.

4. No, this is the price we paid when the NeoCons staged their bloodless...
...coup in December 2000.

There are truly remarkable similarities between Nazi Germany of 1934 and the U. S. of December 2000.

9. Shhhhh! Stop saying that!
We can't handle the truth.

Besides bunker boy is NOT like Hitler.

Not the same last name.

Not as intelligent.

Not as mezmorizing a speaker.

Don't you get it?!?!?!?!

10. Are you sure?
Maybe he's the boy from Brazil. Mengele cloned das fuhrer and shipped a copy to their good chum Prescott Bush. He's just about the right age. The intelligence and charisma defects are just the product of the primative cloning techniques.

6. I disagree. Bush has done his job superbly.
He has done precisely what he was put in place to do: Allow 9/11 to occur so that the neo-con agenda could be put in place; and do it with an irresistible 'aw shucks smiley face' that would let them get away with it. They ARE getting away with it, aren't they? I don't see any one of them being asked hard questions, no, not even now.

The only reason he's running into problems now is because his credibility is being questioned. (The whole 9/11 story is not credible from beginning to end, but that is another story.) The American people have begun to wake up. Many people have begun to "smell a rat." Very quickly the powers that be have to "cook up something" to point to as the "source of the offending aroma." If they have to hang Shrub out to dry, so be it. BUT THE UNDERLYING REALITY--OUR OPPRESSION BY DECEPTION VIA A RULING, OLIGARCHICAL ELITE--WILL NOT CHANGE.

7. Too True
When will people wake up and figure out who is really getting them?
How much misdirection and crap will we put up with before we put our foot down on the corps?

21. The ROTW
Edited on Thu Mar-25-04 08:57 AM by Karenina
sees this *rubbish as the predators they are. The thing is Americans have to get it. There is a "tipping point" and that rat's been stinking up the joint for YEARS. The ROTW will not roll over and allow this *juggernaut to steamroll over them. It WILL CHANGE.

How about a little comic relief?

12. I don't blame Bush for 9/11
There's no way Bush could have orchestrated 9/11. That's not saying someone else domestically couldn't have, but Bush as a person is not to blame. Maybe Bush as a figurehead of a much larger movement though.

16. Absolutely!
Nobody believes Bush could have orchestrated the blocking of anti-terror efforts. But the "dark actors" in his shadow, such as PNAC members, Tricky Dick Chaney, Rumsfeld, and Wolfawitz, certainly had the connections, slithering intellects, and experience, to pull it off.

22. Of course he didn't orchestrate it.
His previous life experience shows he lacks even minimal competence. However, he knew that something was coming up. Something bad. But something that could be useful for his people. He let them go ahead with it.

Sitting in that classroom in Florida, he may have had a moment's doubt. Was it bigger than they'd anticipated? Then he fled, from Florida to Louisiana to Nebraska--before finally getting to DC & making a statement to the country. Then, a few days later, he made it to New York, to lead a pep rally on the bodies of the dead. And he continues to make 9/11 his rallying cry, even as he stonewalls all investigation attempts.

No, he's not solely to blame. But there's blood on his hands.

14. Arrogant pResident
Pure arrogance. That's what I've head for the last two days. These people were so arrogant they wouldn't listen to anything or anyone that had anything to do with Clinton. I think they believed their mere presence was so powerful that a terrorist wouldn't dare to attack.

15. Big lies are sometimes MORE believable
Bush is a puppet.. Can you IMAGINE Clinton wandering all ove the US on such a day?? He would have TOLD the SS, "We are GOING TO DC"..NOW..

But then, he would not have been out reading goat stories in the first place.. He would have been in DC running the show, because he would have probably found a way to STOP the terrorists...and people in NY would still have their 9/10 skyline..

Bush is nothing but a spoiled brat, who is used to being coddled and catered to. He abdicated his responsibilities to Rudy , and Karen, and Condi.. He ran like a little rabbit..and when he DID finally show up, he was scared, weepy, and not very presidential..

20. 9/11 is our punishment for the reduction of big government.
You want to know the truth? Lowering taxes and eliminating government budgets using a blunt machete was partly to fault; but the final nail was this country's obsession with deregulation so that free market experiment could flourish. Those two major items are what allowed 9/11 to happen. We just stopped listening to the chatter that mattered.

And it would be wrong, very, very wrong to blame the Democrats for this one, because it was the Republicans who did more cutting than the Democrats, and did so because the voting public demanded it.

The Democratic Congress did try to reduce government in the early nineties, but they did it methodically, which is a slow process. The impatient public couldn't wait. In November 1994, they voted in the Newt Gingrich crowd, who had signed a contract with the devil.

Looking back, it's amazing how Clinton managed to hold it together given the enormous obstacles and pressures he and his staff faced -- alone. Listening to the testimony of Sandy Berger and Dick Clarke, it occurred to me that the Clinton Administration became our lone sentinel.

The public has punished him terribly because he was not a perfect man. I think it's time we all grow up and realize that no human being is perfect and if we are truly to consider ourselves a Christian nation, then we should remember that forgiveness is a big part of Christianity. Perhaps it's time, as a nation, that we forgive Clinton and begin to recognize that he did an enormous good for this country.
