The real reason * and Cheney won't be in NY on 9/11

I am paraphrasing here...but on CNN, they said that the REAL reason they are not showing is because they expect to be booed. Ha ha!
Also, the commentator kinda slipped and said something to the effect of "is it because his poll numbers have dropped?" Wow! I almost fell off the chair.

1. In an Oligarchy, the elite few fear the people they govern...

fear is *'s primary motivator, since, afterall, he's a coward. Take away their SS, remove the buffers between them and the 'regular joe' and you've got a frightened, maladjusted little creep.

2. You're probably right - but with the Osama tape surfacing

Bunnypants may be preparing to run and Cheney to hide.

4. I am wondering if it would make good business sense

for CNN to go after the middle of the road viewers since Fox has a lock on the right wing?

15. you know it sure appeared that way

tonight with Joe Connason and Coulture on Paula Zahn. Joe really got most of the floor time and everytime Coulture opened her mouth she just looked like an idiot. Paula even smirked at her.

6. you bet your ass he would have been booed

and most likely by 9/11 families and the firefighters... (along with a few thousand regular cheney-loathing NYCers

which would NOT look good.

BushCo events are ALL about PR and if they can't control it, they don't do it.

7. He's not coming because the EPA told him the air is not safe to breathe.

Or more pertinently because it is fresh in NY Yorker's minds that his EPA told them the air was safe to breathe, even though GW and Witless Whitman knew it was a lie.

8. Do you think it is possible

that he didn't want to come because he was afraid something would happen to him, either from terrorists or people there, and he asked his office to call Bloomberg and ask for the public dis-invite?

10. I really think the whistleblower's report at the EPA saying the

WH scrubbed the report and the new story today has finally awoken the people of NYC.

Most of the folks there are very savvy, you don't live in a city that large without having a few street smarts. I suspect that they have all been having some second thoughts about 9-11 for quite some time but wanted with all their heart and souls to believe that their government would not INTENTIONALLY harm them.

Then comes the proof of the lies about air quality and with that the realization of how very little human lives mean to these madmen.

Angry people armed with the truth are a powerful force!!!

17. I'm wondering what they are going to do about the convention??

They have firefighters, cops and all of downtown NYC hating their guts. The EPA rip off was just the latest. And, how many families of 9/11 support these assholes as they try to avoid 9/11 investigations, reports, etc. I would think that in order for that convention to go forward, they will have to clear out the entire city, bring back all the troops from Iraq and have them take over the city in order for camera shots of NYC to look nice, loving and peaceful. God, I hope NYC gives these bastards the "welcome" they deserve---wouldn't it be hysterical if this choice of sites because of the propaganda factor, turns into their nightmare.
