Okay, the Jig is Up for BushCo....Right?
Edited on Mon Mar-22-04 05:24 PM by Stevendsmith
This Clarke thing is just devastating, is it not?

This is the final straw, right?

FOX News is retooling its programming as we speak.

What's this you say?

The articles of impeachment are not being drafted?

They're gonna spin this as partisan electoral politics?

The f***ing absurdity of it all!

I mean, if you were to create a rotten White House for a cheap political novel, you couldn't do better than what the Bush bastards are doing.

2. It's over. Their fall began the moment we invaded Iraq
If there is one thing the GOP can be relied upon for is grabbing too much, too soon. Greed will ALWAYS be their downfall.

Relax. Enjoy the show.
We are just in time for the thrilling climax ...

3. I like your line of thought
Edited on Mon Mar-22-04 05:25 PM by Stevendsmith
And I agree. The only solace I took when these thugs took power was that they would undoubtedly screw up big time and implode.

I will enjoy the show, believe me.

But what cost this show? Ignored warnings about terrorits attacks, a phony war, the rape of the environment, etc.

4. Never underestimate the power of 24/7 RW radio and media
and the power of advertising.

Hitler convinced the Germans that it was okey dokey to exterminate millions of jews, homosexuals and gypsies because he had the press sewn up. He convinced them that Poland was a "threat" and had to be invaded.

Don't count yer chickens just yet, but we can hope this will have an effect on voters who are not completely delusional from the non-stop propaganda.

7. yup
had a discussion with some RW friends of mine this weekend. The very idea that there never was a connection between Saddam and al Qaeda was completely new to them. Any suggestion that contradicts what the Great Leader says is treason and a figment of the "liberal media's" imagination (and David Kay is a "traitor").

They don't really care if there were WMDs or whether Bush invaded Iraq because of "bad intelligence" (yes they bought that weaselly little lie hook, line & sinker) they still like Bush because he has "balls" and will show them furrners who's boss. Oh and in their distorted little universe, the rest of the world always hated us (insert rants about the U.N. here)

In short the RW media (esp. radio) has so addled their little brains that they can't see reality from where they are. Now bear in mind that these aren't the sort of people to read anything in the newspaper other than the sports section, and they are fed little propaganda tid-bits flavored with anti-liberal hatred that they wouldn't know the truth about the outside world if it hit them in the face.

No matter how many new revelations about Bush's dishonesty and incompetence surface, there will always be that army of ditto-morons wanting to vote for the worthless little shit because Rush & co. tell them that he's the only thing standing between them and the treasonous liberal scum (i.e. American Citizens that hold different political opinions) that want to take their guns and money and give it to welfare queens.

The hatred against fellow citizens is central to the whole charade. If they couldn't find a group for the listener to focus is hatred on it wouldn't be nearly so successful, and what better group to hate than your neighbors?

5. Oh we're WAY beyond "cheap political novel" here.
Edited on Mon Mar-22-04 05:45 PM by beam_me_up
Once upon a time way back when Ronnie RayGun was elected president (and he probably WAS elected) I was saying that WE HAD GONE DOWN THE RABBIT HOLE AND THROUGH THE LOOKING GLASS.

Man, we are in the OUTER LIMITS OF THE TWILIGHT ZONE by now. No ONE, and I mean NO ONE, knows what the FUCK is really going on. We have terrorists that can't fly doing aerobatics over DC; we have kerosene that melting steel and causing buildings to fall as if they were demolished; we have wars for weapons of mass destruction that don't exist; we have anthrax killers loose using home-grown pedigreed army issued anthrax; we have unelected presidents squatting in the white house; we have a brain dead population listening 24/7 to TOTAL BULL SHIT NEWS; we have lie upon lie upon lie; we have potential environmental catastrophe and peak oil and an economy running on empty. THIS IS SO FAR OUTSIDE THE HISTORICAL BOX NO ONE KNOWS WHETHER TO SHIT OR GO BLIND.

MHO

BMU

Edited to add: Oh Yeah, and we'll most likely have TWO -- COUNT THEM--TWO SCULL AND BONES MEMBERS RUNNING FOR THE PRESIDENCY. One that looks like a Chimpanzee and the other like a milk toast Lurch.

6. For years, long before shrub, I have said that
they are like Pigs at the Trough and they can't help themselves. It is in their basic Psyche. Being conservative means believing that:
1. things will only get worse
2. Everyone is out to get what is mine.
Which leads to:
3. I better get what I can while I can.
It's like a lier having to continue to build on the lie until it can't be contained. Every response they make opens another avenue to question them on. Basically it is a house of cards that can't hold up to scrutiny.
Finally, they all truly believe that they know the truth. Every Evil in the world started with someone who knew the truth.

8. And DU exists so we can come here and say exactly that.
So that I won't go and pound my head against a brick wall until the blood flows.
