well, after seeing Bush's speech. I think he hit a home run.
wait. that was my inner "media whore" circa 2003 coming out. he stank it up.

can you believe it? The main stream corporate media were the great enablers of this horrific turn in U.S. history but they think they can now slap him around for a bit while we are safely far away from any election cycles.

I truly don't expect this to last. Pretty soon when political season heats up...they'll be back on the usual track because this whole thing is being orchestrated from a few board rooms.

The conglomerates like GE and others who are incestuously making money off the war and Bush's corporate-friendly policies and GOP controlled legislations and covering the war with a Bush slant will continue to do so until they are overthrown. do you understand that?

1. no i think it is because they are chickenshit.
after there is blood in the water and they start to percieve a little weakness they attack, and they act like they were always brave.

when they thought bush was popular and dangerous they meekly obeyed.


the msm sucks. they are spineless and worthless.

2. Is he talking about PNAC here?
"The terrorists who attack us and the terrorists we face murder in the name of a totalitarian ideology that hates freedom, rejects tolerance and despises all dissent. Their aim is to remake the Middle East in their own grim image of tyranny and oppression by toppling governments, by driving us out of the region and by exporting terror."

He certainly could be.

4. I had that thought too
the Chimperor lacks the self-awareness to realize how much his description of the terriss could apply to the neo-con BFEE.

7. That fits the Chimp to a T
I am not sure this speech did him any good in the end. its like he is trying to kite a rubber check ... something no longer possible. There will be a reckoning but I fear when the sore loser repugs no longer have their chimp 'n chief, they will be looking to undermine what comes next.

9. The MSM are a bunch of whores
Edited on Wed Jun-29-05 07:38 PM by Geek_Girl
If Bush's ratings are 50% + they're all about the shrub, when his numbers sink below 50% they're critical of his policies. They're a bunch of whores and they go where the poll numbers take them.

What liberal media. If the media was liberal, we wouldn't be at war in Iraq.
