Does anyone believe that because bush...
makes a speech that his poll numbers will go up or that people will say, now believe him especially since every speech is almost the same except that they change the words around, and he tries to scare everybody again and again.Watch tommorrow for his crew to be on every talk show saying Clinton said it , Dems said it, other countries said it so they are just as much a fault as he. Speeches this week with the same old crap but watch for something new , to get us looking at what they want.

2. I think the MSM has finally changed, and Shrub is done.
His friends screwed up, and he's paying the price. Cheney's 3's are in the tteens, Libby is linked by almost everybody to Cheney, and they're both linked to Rove. Then there's Abramoff, who is linked to the entire Party!

Life was fun while it lasted, but I think it's over now!

I'm having a hard time thinking about anything Shrub could do to recover, but I also know I detested him from day one, so I have a very biased opinion.

3. I think there are a few dumb enough
that they will see his speech and have their faith in him renewed. But hopefully the majority of the population is not that dumb, and I don't think they are.

Actually, I think the people aren't that "dumb" (maybe because I truly dislike insults on people's intelligence, it is so subjective, although I do it, too) but that they want to believe him. They don't want to believe that someone who is the leader of the USA would deceive them, someone who claims to be religious would be so greedy as to kill people to put money in his and his friends' pockets. I despise the man and have since I back in 2000 when he was running for president; but there are days when I really don't want to believe he is evil, just incredibly misguided. It is hard to watch Americans and Iraqis dying. I drove by the church on post the other day and saw a memorial service for 4 soldiers from this army base killed recently in Iraq. It is too hard somedays.

5. the hypothesis that his numbers will go up is just part of the spin
Edited on Sat Nov-12-05 06:59 PM by leftofthedial
the neocon-owned media try to shape public opinion in advance

I doubt that 1 in 1000 Murkans even know the bushturd gave a speech.

7. He keeps talking
and his numbers keep falling. Coincidence? I don't think so - I think it's more cause-and-effect. Keep talking boy, I'm really enjoying this!

8. Notice how
he thinks by leaving the country, he looks more presidential there he can get some more photo-ops and his freepers start sticking out there chest again saying " there's our commander and chief". I don't know what it will take for these dumb bastards. I have never seen people who are crazy enough to believe everything a president says, especially this one they pick the dumbest of them all to worship.
